You should refer to the Exam Newsletter for information about any question in relation to this module.


A practical question from this module could involve the calculation of figures and the provision of
journal entries. The following is not an exhaustive list, but indicates many of the practical type skills
required. Can you:

- Use the allowance method to calculate and account for bad debts by the percentage of
sales method and the ageing of accounts methods
- Use the direct write-off method to account for bad debts
- Calculate the interest on bills receivable
- Account for bills receivable
- Calculate relevant accounting ratios
- Account for accounts payable, bills payable, GST, customer deposits, accrued expenses
and deferred revenue
- Account for provisions (estimated liabilities), such as product warranties
- Determine the current / non-current portion of long term payables, such as bank loans

A discussion question from this module could require you to:

- Describe, discuss, explain or apply the requirements of relevant accounting standards
- Describe, discuss, explain or apply the relevant element definitions / recognition rules
- Discuss the use of accounting information for economic decisions (e.g. analyse changes in
accounting ratios)

In this revision material I have provided a number of practical questions drawn from past exams.
Where necessary, I have modified these past exam questions to be suitable in the new AIFRS
environment in Australia. I have also indicated the marks that would normally be awarded for
answering such questions, together with an estimated completion time for the question.

For a thorough exam preparation:
1. Focus on the learning objectives
2. Revise the learning activities and self-assessment activities from the study guide
3. Revise the tutorial questions
4. Complete this exam revision material

Question 1 (allow about 12 minutes) (6 marks)

The balance sheet for ABC Ltd as at 30 April 2008 contained the following:

Accounts Receivable $471,900
Allowance for bad debts $10,560

At the end of each month, ABC provides for bad debts using the income statement approach
(calculated at the rate of 1.5% of credit sales). At the end of the year, the company ages its
accounts receivable and adjusts the balance in the Allowance for bad debts account to
correspond to the ageing schedule. During the months of May and June 2008, the following
selected transactions occurred:

4 May: Made a compound entry to write off the amount of $775 owed by XYZ Ltd
and the amount of $620 owed by SSS Ltd

31 May: Provided for bad debts based on credit sales for May of $462,000

8 June: Wrote off the amount of $4,700 owed by LBJ Ltd

30 June: Adjusted the Allowance for bad debts after performing an ageing of accounts
receivable based on the following summary:

Age of accounts
1 30 days 31 60 days 61 90 days Over 90 days
246,180 102,630 46,200 32,010

A practical question from this module could involve the calculation of figures and the provision of
journal entries. The following is not an exhaustive list, but indicates many of the practical type skills
required. Can you:
- Determine the acquisition cost of an asset (e.g. asset swaps, pools of assets, combined
assets, non-cash acquisitions, etc.)
- Record the journal entry to record an asset acquisition
- Calculate the depreciation expense for an asset using the three major methods of
depreciation
- Recalculate depreciation amounts following major capital expenditures or revisions of
useful life and/or residual value
- Calculate and journalise asset disposals (for assets using the cost basis)

A discussion question from this module could require you to:
- Describe, discuss, explain or apply the requirements of relevant accounting standards
- Describe, discuss, explain or apply the relevant element definitions / recognition rules
- Discuss the use of accounting information for economic decisions (e.g. the capitalise /
expense decision)

Vehicle registration fee $850 the registration fee is an annual payment to the state government (a tax
or levy) and does not provide benefits beyond 12 months

Vehicle insurance $750 assuming the insurance policy is for 12 months it would also be expensed as
it does not provide benefits beyond 12 months. ALTERNATIVELY if the policy was for greater
than 12 months it would be considered a Prepaid Insurance asset; it would still not form part of the
cost of the motor vehicle.

Additional information (not required as part of answer). Registration fees and annual insurance
premiums are normally expensed at the time of payment even though the payment might be made mid-
year (deferring and adjusting at year end would make little difference to the expense recognised each
year beyond the first year and so it is not considered to make a material difference to the expenses
reported in the P&L). Prepaid insurance would be allocated over the life of the insurance policy. If
such amounts could be capitalised it would mean they would be included in the depreciation expense
over the life of the van.

(c) Assume that BBL had used the reducing balance method for its motor vehicle assets from
the date of acquisition. Discuss the impact this would have had on the amounts reported
in the 2010 statement of comprehensive income. (8 marks)

Calculation of depreciation rate:
15,000 / 44,000 = 0.340909
n = 4; 1/4 =0.25
0.340909 Y
0.25
= 0.76412
1 0.76412 = 23.59%

Calculations:
Depreciation expense for 10 months to 30 June 2009:
44,000 x 23.59% x 10 / 12 = $8,650
Depreciation expense for 8 months to 28 Feb 2010:
(44,000 8,650) x 23.59% x 8 / 12 = $5,559
Accumulated Depreciation as at 28 Feb 2010:
8,650 + 5,559 = 14,209
Book value of vehicle:
44,000 14,209 = 29,791
Loss on disposal:
29,000 29,791 = (791)

Discussion:

1. The calculations above show that depreciation expense in the 2009/2010 financial year is higher
using the reducing balance method than the straight line method ($5,559 compared to $4,833).
2. The loss on disposal is lower under the reducing balance method than the straight-line method
($791 compared to $4,125); the higher depreciation charges under the RB method result in a
lower book value for the asset and therefore a smaller loss on disposal.
3. Total expenses in the relation to the delivery vehicle in 2009/2010 P&L are lower under the
reducing balance method compared to the straight-line method, (depreciation + loss of 5,559 +
791 = 6,350 for RB, compared to 4,833 + 4,125 = 8,958); this is due to the RB method reporting
higher depreciation in the 2008/2009 year (8,650 compared to 6,042).

NOTE: Total expenses recognised over the two years for the two methods are the same (SL = 6,042 +
4,833 + 4,125 = 15,000; RB = 8,650 + 5,559 + 791 = 15,000)


NOTE: This is a long question with some difficult elements. It is unlikely such a long question would
be set in this course. A more likely question would contain only parts (a) and (b) OR only parts (b)
and (c). The RB depreciation rate might also be provided (rather than being determined) as a means
of shortening the question.

Req. 2

The depreciation method that reports the highest profit in the first year is the straight-line
method, which produces the lowest depreciation for that year ($44,000). The method that
minimises income taxes in the first year is the reducing-balance method, which produces the
highest depreciation amount for that year ($94,080).


Question 6 (allow 12 minutes) (6 marks)


Req. 1

(a) Straight-line depreciation method:
20X2

30 June Cash at Bank......................................... 30,000
Accumulated Depreciation ............ 16,000
Delivery Truck..................................
Gain on Sale of Truck
41,000
5,000
(b) Reducing-balance depreciation method:
20X2

30 June Cash at Bank .......................................... 30,000
Accumulated Depreciation.

31,710

Delivery Truck.......
Gain on Sale of Truck
41,000
20,710
Req. 2
The difference between the gain under the straight-line depreciation method and under the
reducing-balance method results from the difference in depreciation amounts under the two
depreciation methods.
Depreciation is higher under RB, so the assets carrying amount is lower. As a result, there
will be a larger gain under RB.
