The 8.9% debenture was issued to fund the construction of a qualifying asset (a piece of mining equipment), construction of
which began on 1 July 20X6. On 1 Jan 20X6, Acruni Co began construction of a qualifying asset, a piece of machinery for a hydro-
electric plant, using existing borrowings. Expenditure drawn down for the construction was: $30m on 1 Jan 20X6, $20m on 1 Oct
20X6.
Required
Calculate the borrowing costs that can be capitalised for the hydro-electric plant machine.
Answer:
Capitalisation rate = weighted average rate = (10% x (120/120+80)) + (9.5% x (80/120+80)) = 9.8%
Borrowing Cost = ($30m x 9.8%) + ($20m x 9.8% x 3/12) = $3.43m
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Amortis ation:
Intangible assets with a finite useful life should be amortised over their useful life.
The period and method used should be reviewed at least every financial year end and adjusted where necessary.
The depreciable amount of an intangible is the cost/revalued amount less residual value, although the residual value is
generally assumed to be zero.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life should not be amortised however should be tested for impairment annually.
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Goodwill:
• Goodwill can be purchased or acquired as part of business combination
• Future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being identified and separately
recognised
• Recognise as an asset and measure at cost/excess of purchase cost over acquired interest
• Do not amortise
• Test for impairment annually
• Gain on bargain purchase (negative goodwill) should recognised via profit or loss

Biogenics - Scenario
Biogenics is a publicly listed pharmaceutical company. During the year to 31 December 20X9 the following
transactions took place:
1) $6m was spent on developing a new obesity drug which received clinical approval on 1 July 20X9 and is
proving commercially successful. The directors expect the project to be in profit within 12 months of the
approval date. The patent was registered on 1 July 20X9. It cost $1.5m and remains in force three years.
2) A research project was set up on 1 October 20X9 which is expected to result in a new cancer drug.
$200,000 was spent on computer equipment and $400,000 on staff salaries. The equipment has an
expected life of four years.
3) On 1 September 20X9 Biogenics acquired an up-to-date list of GPs at a cost of $500,000 and has been
visiting them to explain the new obesity drug. The list is expected to generate sales throughout the life-
cycle of the drug.

Definition – IAS 36
IAS 36 aims to ensure that the carrying amount of assets in the financial statements is not
more than their recoverable amount.
Carrying amount:
The value at which the asset is included in the financial statements
Cost/valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses
Recoverable amount:
Fair value less cost to sell:
– The price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date
– If there is an active market in the asset, the fair value should be based on the market
price, or on the price of the recent transactions in similar assets
– If there is no active market in the asset it might be possible to estimate fair value
using best estimates of what market participants might pay in an orderly transaction
– Less the direct incremental costs attributable to the disposal of the asset
Value in Use:
– The present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or
cash-generating unit
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Definition – IAS 36
Where an individual asset is impaired:
If the asset is held at historic cost, the impairment loss is recognised as an expense in profit or loss
If the asset is held at a revalued amount, the impairment loss is charged:
Firstly to other comprehensive income (to remove any previous revaluation surplus relating to the
asset)
Any remainder is recognised as an expense in profit or loss
Impairment Indicators : An entity should consider whether there are indications that an asset might
have been impaired at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue
Revenue
Revenue is the income arising in the course of an entity's ordinary
activities.
Performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to
transfer to the customer either:
a) A good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
b) A series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the
same pattern of transfer to the customer.
Stand-alone selling price is the price at which an entity would sell a
promised good or service separately to a customer.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services
to a cus tomer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Contract as s et is an entity's right to cons ideration in exchange for goods
or services that the entity has transferred to a customer by satisfying a portion
of performance obligation.
Contract liability is an entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a
customer for which the entity has received consideration (or the amount is
due) from the customer.

Repayment of grants
Where a government grant becomes repayable it is accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate under IAS 8.
Repayment of grants relating to income are applied first against any unamortised deferred
credit and then in profit or loss.
Repayments of grants relating to assets are recorded by:
Reducing the deferred income balance; or
Increasing the carrying amount of the asset; or
The cumulative additional depreciation that would have been recognised to date had the grant not been
received is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

IAS 9
IFRS 9 deals with recognition and measurement of financial asset and liabilities. It classifies
assets on the basis of entity’s busines s model and the cash flow model
Busines s Model:
The business objective for a debt instrument is to collect cash flows of the instruments and hold
it till maturity or sell it prior to maturity
It is not at an individual financial instrument level
It is based on how key management personnel actually manages the business, rather than
management’s intentions for specific financial assets
May have more than one model for its financial asset and the classification need not
determined at the reporting entity level. It would be appropriate for entities to carry out the
assessment at portfolio level, rather than at entity level.
Entity Business model can be to hold financial assets till maturity even if sale of financial
assets occur
Contractual Cash Flow Model
Only instruments with contractual cash flow of principal and instrument on principal qualify
for amortised cost of measurement
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
IAS 9 – Measurement
Initial Measurement Financial Instrument:
Amortised Cost • This is determined on the basis that the entity's business model for managing financial assets is
that they are held to collect interest and principal cash flows
Fair Value to P/L • This is used where the financial assets are held for trading, comprise derivatives and all other
financial assets.
Fair Value to OCI • This is used where the financial asset is an investment in the equity instruments of another
(only for Financial entity and such investments are not held for trading.
Asset) • This treatment is optional and an irrevocable election must be made on purchase of the
investment to be able to carry them at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Solution:
At inception the bond is classed as a financial asset and is initially recognised at the amount paid plus the
associated transaction costs.

Chapter Summary
Definition Leasing Issue
IFRS 16
IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to
recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve
months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.
The lessee recognises a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the
underlying asset, and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease
payments.
Definitions:
A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset, the
underlying asset, for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
A right-of-use ass et is an asset that represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying
asset for the lease term.
An underlying ass et is an asset that is the subject of a lease, for which the right to use
that asset has been provided by a lessor to a lessee.
Lease payments are made by a lessee to a lessor relating to the right to use an
underlying asset during the lease term.
Lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has contracted to lease
the asset together with any further terms for which the lessee has the option to continue
to lease the asset.
Lease incentives are payments made by the lessor to the lessee or the reimbursement
or assumption by the lessor of costs of the lessee.
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
IFRS 16
Identifying a leas e
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The right to control the use of an identified asset depends on the lessee having:
The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified
asset; and
The right to direct the use of the identified asset
A lessee does not control the use of an identified asset if the lessor can substitute
the underlying asset for another asset and would benefit economically from doing
so.
Short-term and low value leas es
A lessee may elect to account for lease payments as an expense in profit or loss
over the lease term for the following two types of leases:
Short-term leases. Leases with a term of twelve months or less. This election is made by
class of underlying asset. A lease that contains a purchase option cannot be a short-term
lease.
Low-value leases. Leases where the underlying asset is of low value (such as office
furniture or laptops).This election can be made on a lease-by-lease basis.
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Measurement of Asset:
The asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of its useful life or the
end of the lease term.
NB: If the ownership of the asset is expected to be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease, the
useful life period must be used.
Alternatively, the asset can be accounted for in accordance with the revaluation model in IAS 16 or the
fair value model in IAS 40 (compulsory if the asset meets the definition of investment property).

Provisions
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
A provision should be recognised in the financial statements when all three
recognition criteria are satisfied:
An entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event.
It is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the
obligation.
A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
An obligation can be legal or constructive:
A legal obligation is one that derives from a contract or legislation.
A cons tructive obligation is one that derives from the actions of an entity where:
An established pattern of past practice, published policies or a specific statement has indicated to other parties that
the entity will accept certain responsibilities
The entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those
responsibilities

Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Provisions
The amount recognised as a provision should be the best estimate of the cost required
to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Where the provision involves a large population of items, such as a warranty provision,
the provision should be calculated using expected values.
Where a single obligation is being measured, such as the outcome of a court case, the
individual most likely outcome should be provided.
The amount of the provision should be discounted where the time value of money is
material.
Specific situations
Future operating losses:
Provisions should not be recognised for future operating losses.
They do not meet the definition of a liability or the recognition criteria.
Onerous contracts:
An onerous contract is a contract where the unavoidable costs of completing the contract exceed the
benefits expected to be received under it.
Where an onerous contract exists, the entity should provide for the net loss which is the lower of the
costs of fulfilling the contract and the penalties from failing to fulfill the contract.
Decommissioning and other environmental costs:
Provisions for these costs should only be recognised from the date on which the obligating event
occurs.

Provisions
A restructuring is a planned programme which materially changes the scope of
business undertaken by an entity or the manner in which that business is conducted.
A provision for restructuring costs is recognised only when the entity has a
constructive obligation to restructure.
This will only be where an entity:
Has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring, and
Has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring
A restructuring provision should only include direct expenditure arising from the
restructuring and which are:
Necessarily entailed by the restructuring
Not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity
A restructuring provision does not include:
Retraining/relocating continuing staff
Marketing
Investment in new systems and distribution networks

Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Biological Assets
Biological ass ets are living animals or plants
Harvest is the detachment of produce from a biological asset or the cessation of a biological asset's life process (as
in slaughter).
Agricultural produce is the harvested product of an entity's biological assets (such as apples or carcasses).
IAS 41 distinguishes between two broad categories of agricultural production system:
Consumable: animals and plants themselves are harvested (such as beef cattle and wheat).
Bearer: animals and plants bear produce for harvest (such as dairy cows and apple trees).
Note:
An amendment to IAS 41 in May 2014 transferred the treatment of bearer plants (such as apple trees) to IAS 16, so they are
now accounted for in the same way as items of plant and equipment.
Recognition:
Animals and plants are recognised as assets when:
The entity controls the asset as a result of past events
It is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity
The fair value of the asset or its cost to the entity can be measured reliably
Measurement:
IAS 41 requires all biological assets to be measured at the year end at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs.
Fair value can usually be taken to be market value.
Any gain or loss arising from changes to fair value is recognised in profit or loss.
Bearer plants are measured at cost or revalued amount less accumulated depreciation.
Agricultural produce is recognised prior to harvest at fair value less estimated point of sale costs.
Following harvest agricultural produce is classified as inventory and accounted for in accordance with IAS 2.

Chapter Summary
Taxation (IAS 12)
Current Tax
Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect
of taxable profit or loss for the period.
Taxable profit (or los s ) is the profit (or loss) for a period, determined in
accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which
income taxes are payable (recoverable).
The tax charge for the period is shown as an expens e in profit or los s .
Any unpaid amounts of tax are recognised as a liability in the statement of
financial position.
The accounting entry to record the tax expense is:
DEBIT Tax expense
CREDIT Tax liability
Underpayment of tax (Debit balance b/f) for previous year should be added
to the tax expense in current year
Overpayment of tax (Debit balance b/f) for previous year should be
deducted from the tax expense for the current year
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is not a tax which is paid, rather it is an accounting
adjus tment.
It deals with situations where the accounting treatment of a transaction
is different from the tax treatment.
Some differences are permanent (e.g. penalty expenses), while others are
temporary differences because of the timing of when a transaction is
recognised for accounting purposes and when it is considered for tax.

Deferred Tax
The temporary difference is calculated by comparing the carrying
amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position to its
tax base.
The tax bas e of an as s et is its value for tax purposes at the reporting
date.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences of difference between
Carrying amount of as s et and tax bas e.
Deferred tax liabilities are amounts of income taxes payable in future
periods in respect of taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax as s ets are the amounts of income taxes recoverable in
future periods in respect of:
– Deductible temporary differences
– The carry forward of unused tax losses
– The carry forward of unused tax credits
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Deferred Tax
Taxable temporary differences describe the situation where because of a
temporary difference in the accounting and tax treatment of an item the
entity will end up paying more tax in the future.
Taxable temporary differences give rise to deferred tax liabilities.
One of the most common types of taxable temporary differences are
accelerated depreciation for tax purpos es .
This is because tax depreciation tends to be available at a higher rate in the
earlier years of the asset's life than the accounting depreciation charged on
the same assets

IAS 33 EPS
Earnings per share or EPS is a ratio which measures the amount of profits
earned by a company for each ordinary share in issue.
The objective of IAS 33 was to provide a consistent method for the
calculation of EPS in order to improve the comparison of the performance
of different entities in the same period and of the same entity over time.
IAS 33 only applies to companies whose ordinary shares are publicly
traded (including companies in the process of obtaining a listing).
EPS need only be presented on the basis on consolidated results in a set of
consolidated financial statements which include the parent's separate
financial statements.
Where companies choose to present EPS information even though they
are not required to they must do so in accordance with IAS 33.

IAS 33 EPS
Iss ue at full market price
Where an entity has issued shares at the current market price it will have received a true price for its shares.
It will therefore be expected to generate a return on these shares in the form of increased profits.
However if the share issue occurred part way through the year the entity will only be expected to generate extra earnings
for the time during which it had use of the additional funds.
As such the number of shares in issue must be time apportioned.
Illustration
A company has earnings of $100,000 and a year end of 31 December. On 1 October 20X2 the company issued 300,000 shares at full
market price. The share capital before the share issue was 600,000 shares.
Solution
IAS 33 EPS
Bonus Iss ue
Bonus shares are issued at no consideration and therefore the company cannot be expected to generate
the same return after a bonus issue.
In order to make the EPS comparable year on year where there has been a bonus issue, it is necessary to
restate the prior year EPS figure.
This is done using the reciprocal of the bonus fraction.
Rights iss ue of shares
When an entity wants to raise additional finance it may choose to do so through a rights issue.
Here existing shareholders are offered the opportunity to buy more shares in the entity.
The price they will have to pay for the shares (the rights price) will be lower than the current market price
in order to encourage existing shareholders to subscribe to the rights issue.
Consequently a rights issue includes both an issue of shares at full price and a bonus issue.
Consistent with the bonus issue it is necessary to calculate the bonus fraction.
This is calculated as:
Fair value per share immediately before the exercise of rights
Theoretical ex rights price (TERP)
It is applied to all periods (months) prior to the rights issue and the prior year EPS is restated using the
reciprocal of the bonus fraction in order for the EPS to be comparable year on year.
Futura Fortune Academia - +91 9633259363
Diluted EPS
The basic EPS is calculated by comparing the profits with the weighted average number of shares currently in issue.
However it is possible that an entity might have a commitment to issue shares in the future, for example on the
exercise of share options or the conversion of convertible debt.
These commitments are known by IAS 33 as 'potential ordinary shares' and they may result in a change to the basic
EPS.
The diluted EPS shows how the basic EPS would change if the 'potential ordinary shares' such as convertible debt
became ordinary shares.
The diluted EPS therefore warns current shareholders of what may happen to the EPS in the future.
The most efficient way to calculate the diluted EPS is to:
Take the earnings figure used in the basic EPS calculation and determine how it would change if the 'potential
ordinary shares' became shares
Take the weighted average number of shares used in the basic EPS calculation and increase it for the number
of 'potential ordinary shares'
Share options or warrants
Where an entity has issued share options or warrants, individuals will have the right to buy shares at a certain point
in the future.
The price they will be required to pay will almost certainly be below the current market price.
This amounts to a situation where some of the shares can be deemed to have been issued at full price and the
remainder will effectively have been issued for no consideration.
It is only the shares deemed to have been iss ued for no cons ideration which are dilutive.
These are added on to the basic weighted average number of shares.
