Notes
(1) Property has a remaining useful life at 1 July 2010 of 40 years. Glen-apple plc accounting
policy elects the optional annual transfer of the revaluation reserve. Total depreciation for
the year was 900.
(2) On the last day of the financial year, the company signed two leases outlined below. No
other leases were entered into in the current financial year.
Lease A
Lease A is to rent a black and white photocopier, and the present value of the rental
payments are 16,000. The rent is charged based on a monthly fixed fee of three cents
per copy. The copier was delivered on the last day of the year and no payments have
been made to date.
Lease B
Lease B is to rent a colour photocopier, and the present value of the rental payments are
6,000. The rent is charged based on a monthly fixed fee of 180. The lessor granted a

(6) During the year, it was uncovered that the warehouse supervisor stole 2,000 in the prior
year. The current year and prior years inventory was falsified with empty boxes during
the stock count. The supervisor has left the country shortly after she was caught, and it is
unlikely that the amount is now recoverable. This theft has not been adjusted for in the
financial information presented.
(7) Machinery to the value of 4,000 was purchased with proceeds from a government grant.
The Machinery was not recorded in the statement of position as it had a cost of nil to the
company.
(8) The movement in site restoration relates only to plant acquired in the current year.
Required:
Prepare the consolidated statement of cash flow for Glen-apple plc using the indirect method
for the year ended 30 June 2011 and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for
Glen-apple plc.

the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities were 35 million (excluding
deferred tax).
the only difference between the carrying value and the fair value of identifiable assets
and liabilities is related to inventory where the fair value was larger than the carrying
value by 3 million. The inventory was sold to a third party in the normal course of
operations six months after the acquisition date by McDowell.
On 15 July 2011, the recoverable amount of Penny Mart was determined to be 30 million.
At that date the carrying value of Penny Mart was 35 million.
In the tax jurisdiction of Penny Mart, the corporate tax rate is 33% and in the tax jurisdiction
of McDowell, the corporate tax rate is 40%.
The policy of McDowell is to value the NCI at the fair value of the identifiable assets.
Required:
a) Calculate the goodwill recorded in the group accounts for McDowell as at 1 January
2010.
[6 marks]
b) Explain the impact of the inventory fair value difference for the 2010 financial year.

c) Calculate the impairment loss on goodwill in 2011, and allocate the impairment loss
between the parent and the non controlling interest.

The selling price of the inventory is how much Mr. Murphy (he owns a pharmacy in a
neighbouring town) would purchase the inventory. If Glen Oaks operations continue,
these products would be sold to retail customers at 6,000, and the selling costs are
approximately 2,000.
(2)
If the assets are sold, the leasehold improvements would have a value of nil.

(iv) In the trial balance, the investment in Beares plc. represents an equity interest of 15%.
Rainbow Ltd. is considered a strategic investor for Beares plc. as Rainbow Ltd. has a
wealth of experience in new technologies that Beares plc. is significantly investing in.
Two members of Rainbow Ltd.s key management were elected to the board of directors
of Beares plc. Beares plc. had a profit for the year of 25,000, and other comprehensive
income of 3,000 due to a revaluation of its Buildings net of deferred tax. Beares plc. has
a 30 June year end.
On 15 May 2011, Rainbow Ltd. sold a large quantity of merchandise to Beares plc. and
this resulted in a profit in Rainbow Ltd. of 40,000. On 30 June 2011, the inventory was
in the warehouse of Beares plc. and was not yet sold to third party customers.
(v) The corporate tax rate is 20% and the deferred tax liability at the end of the year is
30,000 after all adjustments have been made.
Required:
In accordance with IFRS, as far as the information permits, prepare the statement of
comprehensive income and the statement of financial position for the year ended 30 June
2011. (Notes to the statements are not required.) Please show all workings clearly.

The buildings were purchased on 1 January 2001 and were last revalued on
31 December 2008, when their remaining useful life was revised to 50 years from that
date.
The company treats depreciation of buildings as an administrative expense and
depreciation of plant and equipment as a cost of sale. No land and buildings were
purchased or sold during the year.
The company wishes to revalue its land and buildings at 31 December 2011. The
surveyor's valuation was $436 million as at that date (including $180 million for the land).
19
The company treats revaluation gains as realised on disposal or retirement of the asset.
Revaluation gains (or losses) are taxable (or tax deductible) when the asset is disposed
of, or otherwise derecognised, in the tax regime in which Trafalgar operates.
(b) The development costs consist of amounts capitalised in 2009 and 2010 relating to a
new product development. No additional development expenditure was incurred in the
year ended 31 December 2011. The product began commercial production on
1 July 2011, and the company estimated, at that date, that the product's useful life was
four years due to its technological nature.
Sales of the product did not achieve the amount expected during the second half of 2011,
and so, at 31 December 2011, management performed an impairment test on the
development expenditure. The estimated net cash flows are (at 31 December 2011
prices):
Year to 31 December 2012
Year to 31 December 2013
Year to 31 December 2014
6 months to 30 June 2015
$3.2 million
$3.4 million
$1.6 million
$0.8 million
All cash flows occur on the final day of each period mentioned. An appropriate annual
discount rate (adjusted to exclude the effects of inflation) is 5%.
The fair value of the development expenditure asset was expected to be less than the
sum of the discounted cash flows.
Development expenditure is tax deductible when incurred in the tax regime in which
Trafalgar operates. The company recognises amortisation and impairment losses on
development expenditure in cost of sales.
(c) The inventories figure in the trial balance is the opening inventories balance measured on
the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. Due to a change in Trafalgar's business, the company
decided to change its accounting policy with respect to inventories to a weighted average
basis, as follows:
FIFO
Weighted average
31 December 2009
$'000
33,200
30,300
31 December 2010
$'000
37,300
34,100
Closing inventories at 31 December 2011, measured under the weighted average basis,
amounted to $41.2 million.
The inventory valuation method has no tax consequences.
(d) The investment property was purchased during 2009. Trafalgar uses the fair value model
for its investment property. The market value of the property at 31 December 2011 had
risen to $11.2 million.
Tax is payable on gains on investment properties when they are sold in the tax regime in
which Trafalgar operates.
20
Patchet is preparing its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. It has a
number of subsidiaries. The following matters relating to two new investments are
outstanding:
(a)
(b)
Patchet had been negotiating the arrangement for some time. As a result, on
1 April 2011, Patchet classified the equipment that was subsequently transferred to
Dotun Electronics as held for sale. No impairment loss was necessary on 1 April 2011,
however, the equipment was not depreciated from 1 April 2011 until its transfer to the
new entity.
(6 marks)
(c)
Patchet also entered into another contractual arrangement on 1 September 2011 with
another company, Cain, setting up an unquoted entity, Regional Electronics. However,
in this arrangement Patchet only has a 15% shareholding and does not have any
influence in day to day financial and operating policies. Patchet has recorded the
investment in Regional Electronics at its cost on 1 September 2011, being the carrying
amount of the equipment and cash transferred at that date. No subsequent changes
were made to the carrying amount.
(5 marks)
Requirements
Advise the directors on the accounting treatment of the above items in Patchet's financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.
Indicate how any changes proposed by the IASB could alter the accounting treatment.
In part (a) you should consider the effect on both the consolidated and separate financial
statements of Patchet. In parts (b) and (c) you should consider the effect on the separate
financial statements of Patchet only.
Note: A report format is not required.

Opening inventories were 30.8 million Blats and were acquired on 31 December 2010.
Closing inventories were purchased just before the year end and do not need
restatement.
Income and expenses (excluding the inventories elements of cost of sales) arose evenly
over the year. No dividends were paid during the year.
Relevant prices indices are:
31 December 2010
560
31 December 2011

Weighted average for the year ended 31 December 2011 690
Ignore any deferred tax effects. Work to the nearest 1 million Blats where necessary.
Requirements
(a)
Discuss the indications that an economy is hyperinflationary and explain how an entity
should apply IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies for the first
time.
(5 marks)
(b)
Restate the above draft statement of comprehensive income (only) for the effects of
hyperinflation as required by IAS 29 (insofar as the information provided permits).
Note: You are not required to restate the draft statement of financial position.

Notes to the Trial Balance
Note 1 revenue
On 1 April 2007 Delta sold goods for a price of $121 million. The terms of the sale allowed the
customer extended credit and the price was payable by the customer in cash on 31 March 2009.
Delta included $121 million in revenue for the current year and $121 million in closing trade
receivables. A discount rate that is appropriate for the risks in this transaction is 10%.
Note 2 production costs
During the year ended 31 March 2008 Delta sold goods to the value of $20 million under warranty.
The terms of the warranty were that if the goods were defective within 12 months of the date of sale,
Delta would repair or replace them. The warranty was not offered by Delta in respect of goods sold in
previous periods.
The directors of Delta estimate that, for each product sold, there is an 80% chance no defects will
occur in that product. Therefore they have not made a provision for the cost of any future warranty
claims on the grounds that, for each item sold, the most likely outcome is that no additional costs will
be incurred.
Any warranty costs that were incurred were included in the production costs for the year. Where
warranty costs were incurred, on average they amounted to 50% of the revenue received from the
initial sale of the product. Warranty costs of $800,000 were incurred before the year end and included
within production costs in the trial balance.
Note 3 inventories at 31 March 2008
The carrying value of inventories at 31 March 2008 was $25 million.
Note 4 long term interest bearing borrowings
On 1 April 2007 Delta borrowed $50 million for five years at an annual interest rate of 6%. The market
interest rate on loans at this time was 8% and so the terms of the contract provide for a repayment on
1 April 2012 of more than $50 million. The repayment makes the effective interest rate applicable to
the loan 8%. At 31 March 2007 the market value of a loan with identical cash flows was $53 million.
Delta does not consider that the loan is part of a trading portfolio.
Note 5 tax
23
The estimated income tax on the profits for the year to 31 March 2008 is $15 million.
During the year $13 million was paid in full and final settlement of income tax on the profits for the
year ended 31 March 2007. The statement of financial position at 31 March 2007 had included
$14 million in respect of this liability.
At 31 March 2008 the carrying amounts of the net assets of Delta exceeded their tax base by $28
million. This information is before taking account of the property revaluation (see Note 6 below)
The rate of income tax in the jurisdiction in which Delta operates is 30%.
Note 6 property, plant and equipment
Details are as follows:

On 1 April 2007 the open market value of the property was $60 million, including $32 million relating
to the building. The directors wish to reflect this revaluation in the financial statements, but no entries
regarding the revaluation have yet been made. The directors do not wish to make an annual transfer
of excess depreciation to retained earnings. The original estimate of the useful economic life of the
building is still considered valid. No assets were fully depreciated at 31 March 2008.
All of the depreciation is to be charged to cost of sales.
Note 7 Lease rentals
On 1 April 2007 Delta began to lease a large group of machines that were used in the production
process. The lease was for 4 years and the annual rental (payable in advance on 1 April each year)
was $20 million. The lessor paid $71 million for the machines on 31 March 2007. The lessor has
advised Delta that the lease is a finance lease and that the rate of interest implicit in the lease can be
taken as 9% per year.
Required:
(a) Prepare the statement of comprehensive income for Delta for the year ended 31 March
2008. (14 marks)
(b) Prepare the statement of financial position for Delta as at 31 March 2008 (11 marks)
Note: notes to the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position are not
required.

The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements:
1 On 1 May 2010, Rose acquired 70% of the equity interests of Petal, a public limited company. The
Purchase consideration comprised cash of $94 million. The fair value of the identifiable net assets
recognised by Petal was $120 million excluding the patent below. The identifiable net assets of
Petal at 1 May 2010 included a patent which had a fair value of $4 million. This had not been
recognised in the financial statements of Petal. The patent had a remaining term of four years to run
at that date and is not renewable. The retained earnings of Petal were $49 million and other
components of equity were $3 million at the date of acquisition. The remaining excess of the fair
value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of land.
Rose wishes to use the full goodwill method. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Petal
was $46 million on 1 May 2010. There have been no issues of ordinary shares since acquisition
and goodwill on acquisition is not impaired.
Rose acquired a further 10% interest from the non-controlling interest in Petal on 30 April 2011 for a
Cash consideration of $19 million.
2 Rose acquired 52% of the ordinary shares of Stem on 1 May 2010 when Stems retained earnings
were 220 million dinars. The fair value of the identifiable net assets of Stem on 1 May 2010 was 495
million dinars. The excess of the fair value over the net assets of Stem is due to an increase in the
value of land. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Stem at 1 May 2010 was 250 million
dinars.
25
Stem is located in a foreign country and operates a mine. The income of Stem is denominated and
settled in dinars. The output of the mine is routinely traded in dinars and its price is determined
initially by local supply and demand. Stem pays 40% of its costs and expenses in dollars with the
remainder being incurred locally and settled in dinars. Stems management has a considerable
degree of authority and autonomy in carrying out the operations of Stem and is not dependent upon
group companies for finance.
Rose wishes to use the full goodwill method to consolidate the financial statements of Stem. There
have been no issues of ordinary shares and no impairment of goodwill since acquisition.
The following exchange rates are relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements:
1 May 2010
30 April 2011

3 Rose has a property located in the same country as Stem. The property was acquired on 1 May
2010 and is carried at a cost of 30 million dinars. The property is depreciated over 20 years on the
straight-line method. At 30 April 2011, the property was revalued to 35 million dinars. Depreciation
has been charged for the year but the revaluation has not been taken into account in the
preparation of the financial statements as at 30 April 2011.
4 Rose commenced a long-term bonus scheme for employees at 1 May 2010. Under the scheme
Employees receive a cumulative bonus on the completion of five years service. The bonus is 2% of
the total of the annual salary of the employees. The total salary of employees for the year to 30
April 2011 was $40 million and a discount rate of 8% is assumed. Additionally at 30 April 2011, it is
assumed that all employees will receive the bonus and that salaries will rise by 5% per year.
5 Rose purchased plant for $20 million on 1 May 2007 with an estimated useful life of six years. Its
Estimated residual value at that date was $14 million. At 1 May 2010, the estimated residual value
changed to $26 million. The change in the residual value has not been taken into account when
preparing the financial statements as at 30 April 2011.
Required:
(a) (i) Discuss and apply the principles set out in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates in order to determine the functional currency of Stem. (7 marks)
(ii) Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position of the Rose Group at 30 April
2011, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), showing the
exchange difference arising on the translation of Stems net assets. Ignore deferred
taxation. (35 marks)
(b) Rose was considering acquiring a service company. Rose stated that the acquisition may be
made because of the value of the human capital and the opportunity for synergies and crossselling opportunities. Rose estimated the fair value of the assets based on what it was prepared to
pay for them. Rose further stated that what it was willing to pay was influenced by its future plans
for the business.
The company to be acquired had contract-based customer relationships with well-known domestic
and international companies and some mining companies. Rose estimated that the fair value of
all of these customer relationships to be zero because Rose already enjoyed relationships with
the majority of those customers.

On 1 April 2010 the individual financial statements of Beta showed the following reserves balances:
Retained earnings $41 million.
Other components of equity $3 million.
The directors of Alpha carried out a fair value exercise to measure the identifiable assets and
liabilities of Beta at 1 April 2010. The following matters emerged:
A property, having a carrying amount of $50 million (depreciable amount $30 million), had a fair
value of $70 million (depreciable amount $33 million). The estimated future economic life of the
depreciable amount of the property at 1 April 2010 was 30 years. This property was still held by
Beta at 30 September 2011.
Plant and equipment, having a carrying amount of $60 million, had an estimated market value of
$64 million. The estimated future economic life of the plant at 1 April 2010 was four years. This plant
was still held by Beta at 30 September 2011.
Inventory, having a carrying amount of $30 million, had an estimated market value of $31 million. All
of this inventory had been sold since 1 April 2010.
The fair value adjustments have not been reflected in the individual financial statements of Beta. In
the consolidated financial statements the fair value adjustments will be regarded as temporary
differences for the purposes of computing deferred tax. The rate of tax to apply to temporary
differences (where required but see notes 3, 4, 6 and 7 below) is 20%.
It is the group policy to value the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries at the date of acquisition at
fair value. The fair value of an equity share in Beta at 1 April 2010 can be used for this purpose.
Note 2 Impairment reviews Beta
On 1 April 2010 the directors of Alpha identified that Beta comprised five cash-generating units and
allocated the goodwill arising on acquisition equally across each unit. No impairment of goodwill was
apparent in the year ended 30 September 2010.
During the year ended 30 September 2011 four of the five cash-generating units performed very
satisfactorily and no impairment of the goodwill allocated to these units had occurred. However the
performance of the other unit was below expectations. During the impairment review carried out at 30
September 2011 assets (excluding goodwill) having a carrying amount in the consolidated financial
statements of $50 million were allocated to this unit. The recoverable amount of these assets was
estimated at $52 million.
Note 3 Alphas investment in Gamma
On 1 October 2010 Alpha paid $52 million for 40% of the equity shares of Gamma. The retained
earnings of Gamma on 1 October 2010 were $60 million. You can ignore any deferred taxation
implications of the investment by Alpha in Gamma. The investment in Gamma has not suffered any
impairment since 1 October 2010.
Note 4 Inter-company sale of inventories
The inventories of Beta and Gamma at 30 September 2011 included components purchased from
Alpha during the year at a cost of $16 million to Beta and $10 million to Gamma. Alpha generated a
gross profit margin of 25% on the supply of these components. You can ignore any deferred tax
implications of the information in this note.
Note 5 Trade receivables and payables
The trade receivables of Alpha included $5 million receivable from Beta and $4 million receivable from
Gamma in respect of the purchase of components (see Note 4). The trade payables of Beta and
Gamma included equivalent amounts payable to Alpha.

November 2010 are $10 million. Jocatt enhanced the benefits on 1 December 2009 however,
these do not vest until 30 November 2012. The total cost of the enhancement is $6 million. The

Required:
(a) Prepare a consolidated statement of cash flows for the Jocatt Group using the indirect
method under IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Note: Ignore deferred taxation other than where it is mentioned in the question. (35 marks)
(b) Jocatt operates in the energy industry and undertakes complex natural gas trading arrangements,
which involve exchanges in resources with other companies in the industry. Jocatt is entering into
a long-term contract for the supply of gas and is raising a loan on the strength of this contract. The
proceeds of the loan are to be received over the year to 30 November 2011 and are to be repaid
over four years to 30 November 2015. Jocatt wishes to report the proceeds as operating cash flow
because it is related to a long-term purchase contract. The directors of Jocatt receive extra
income if the operating cash flow exceeds a predetermined target for the year and feel that
the indirect method is more useful and informative to users of financial statements than the direct
method.
(i) Comment on the directors view that the indirect method of preparing statements of cash
flow is more useful and informative to users than the direct method. (7 marks)
(ii) Discuss the reasons why the directors may wish to report the loan proceeds as an
operating cash flow rather than a financing cash flow and whether there are any ethical
implications of adopting this treatment. (6 marks)
Professional marks will be awarded in part (b) for the clarity and quality of discussion. (2 marks)
