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
Page3of9

Chartered Accountants Ireland DIPLOMA IN IFRS 2011 Course Exam: QUESTIONS


concession and structured the payments so that they start in the 15th month after the asset
has been delivered. Exactly 75% of the rental fee is to cover the usage of the equipment.
The supplier is obligated under this contract to maintain the asset, and if the entity were
to enter into a contract of this type independently, this would be expected to be
approximately 25% of the contract value. The copier was delivered on the last day of the
year and no payments have been made to date. The purchase price of a new copier would
have been 4,700.
(3) On 15 April 2011 the bonus issue of equity shares of one share for every five shares held
was and this was issued from retained earnings. There was also an issue of shares for
cash during the year on 1 May 2011.
(4) The secretary that typed up this report misplaced the amount that was paid for dividends
and as she was in a hurry to leave for vacation, asked you to work it out from the
information provided.
(5) During the year, Glen-apple plc purchased 100% of Pear Co for 2,000. The financial
statements are consolidated and include the year end balances as per IFRS. At the date of
acquisition, the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Pear Co were as follows:
Cash

1,000

Receivables

2,000

Machinery

1,000

Payables

2,000

(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.

Question 2 (comprises both a Part A and Part B)
Part A: McDowell Ltd.
McDowell Ltd. acquired an 80% equity interest in Penny Mart Ltd. on 1 January 2010. At
the date of acquisition, the following financial information is relevant:

the consideration was 45 million cash.

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.

Part B: Glen Oaks Chemist Ltd.
Glen Oaks Chemist Ltd. is a pharmacy located in a small industrial town primarily serving
the pharmaceutical requirements of the employees of two main companies in the town. One
of these companies, operating in the shipbuilding industry, has recently significantly reduced
its workforce, this being an impairment indicator under IAS 36. The impairment event
occurred on 30 June 2011. The business in its entirety is considered one cash generating unit.
After an impairment review, the value in use of Glen Oaks was estimated at 10,000, and the

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)

Question 3 Gates plc
Gates plc hired a new accountant on 15 October 2010.
After the new accountant conducted a review in November 2010, it was noted from a review
of email correspondence that the previous accountant (a relatively new and experienced) was
considering whether to make a provision for environmental damage caused during the
construction of an ocean based oil rig.
No provision was made in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2010 for
environmental damage.
Required:
Discuss the facts and circumstances that would indicate whether the adjustment for the
environmental damage is a change in accounting estimate or an accounting error.
Your answer should outline the determining factors that should be reviewed to determine the
correct classification of whether it is a change in estimate or an accounting error.
[10 Marks]
Part B: Timber Lodge Ltd.
Timber Lodge Ltd. is a luxury five star resort. The resort was recently inspected by the
National Park Services, and Timber Lodge was notified that 325 trees were infected with
Virus J.
Virus J kills a tree within a matter of months by destroying the root system; as the trees are
then not stable, they may fall at any time and thereby endanger life. Therefore, national park
regulations require that trees infected with Virus J be cut down within 180 days of
notification by the national park.
If the trees are not cut down by Timber Lodge, the national park will cut down the trees at a
cost of 1,000 per tree. If Timber Lodge cuts down the trees themselves, through securing the
assistance of university students during their summer holiday period, they estimate a cost of
500 per tree for such felling.
The notification from the national park was received on 15 May 2011.
Timber Lodges financial year end is 30 June. As of 30 June 2011, the trees were not
removed and no contract was signed for their removal.
Required:
Explain, based on IAS 37, the obligating event triggering the liability for the removal of trees
and the related accounting treatment in the financial statements for the year ending 30 June
2011.

The following information needs to be taken into account:


(a) The company's accounting policy in respect of depreciation of its property, plant and
equipment is as follows:
Buildings
Plant and equipment

Straight line to a zero residual value (see below)


10% reducing balance

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.

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)

On 1 September 2011, Patchet entered into a contractual arrangement with another


party, Able, to manufacture products together, using the expertise of both companies.
This involved setting up a new company, Dotun Electronics, in which each party holds
50% of the ordinary shares and is entitled to a 50% share of profits.
Equipment and cash to set up the business were contributed, by each investor, to Dotun
Electronics in pr0oportion to their ownership and in return for the share capital. The
arrangement is to last five years. After the five years, the arrangement can be
terminated and the parties can take back the equipment that they have contributed. Any
new equipment necessary during the period of the agreement will be purchased by one
of the parties and sold to Dotun Electronics in return for an increased shareholding and
rights to the equipment at the end of the arrangement. Each party to the arrangement
uses the equipment it has contributed to perform its part of the work under the
arrangement. Under the terms of the agreement, each party is liable to pay for the
supplies used by their equipment in the event that revenues do not cover costs. Dotun
Electronics also took out loan finance which was guaranteed by the two investors in
proportion to their ownership.
Dotun Electronics has a 31 December year end.
Under the terms of the agreement, financial and operating policy decisions must be
made together by both parties to the arrangement.
(10 marks)

(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

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%.

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)

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:

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.
Required:
Discuss the validity of the accounting treatment proposed by Rose and whether such a
proposed treatment raises any ethical issues. (8 marks)

Note 1 purchase of shares in Beta


On 1 October 2005 Alpha purchased an 80% equity shareholding in Beta. The equity of Beta as
shown in its own financial statements at that date was $32 million.
Alpha issued 20 million shares to the former shareholders of Beta in exchange for the shares
purchased. The market value of Alphas shares on 1 October 2005 was $2.
At the date of acquisition Beta owned a property with a book value of $28 million and a market value
of $35 million. Beta had purchased the property for $30 million on 1 October 2000 and estimated that
the depreciable amount of the property (the buildings element) was $16 million at 1 October 2000.
The estimated useful economic life of the building at 1 October 2000 was 40 years.
The directors of Alpha estimated that the buildings element of the property comprised 50% of its
market value at 1 October 2005. They considered that the original estimate of the total useful
economic life of the buildings element (40 years from 1 October 2000) was still valid.
At 1 October 2005 the plant of Beta had a book value of $12 million and a market value of $15 million.
The plant is depreciated on a straight line basis and the remaining useful economic life of the plant at
1 October 2005 was estimated at five years.
All depreciation is charged on a monthly basis and presented in cost of sales. No adjustments were
made to the individual financial statements of Beta to reflect the information given in this note.

27

Note 2 purchase of shares in Gamma


On 1 July 2007 Alpha purchased 40% of the equity shares of Gamma. This purchase allowed Alpha
to exercise a significant influence over Gamma, but Alpha was not able to control its operating and
financial policies. No material differences between the market value and the book value of the net
assets of Gamma was apparent at the date of the share purchase.
Note 3 impairment reviews
An impairment review at 31 March 2008 indicated that 25% of the goodwill on acquisition of Beta
needed to be written off. Apart from this, no other impairments of goodwill on acquisition of Beta have
been required.
No impairment of the investment in Gamma has yet been necessary.
All impairments are charged to cost of sales.
Note 4 inter-company sales
Alpha supplies products used by Beta and Gamma. Sales of the products to Beta and Gamma during
the year ended 31 March 2008 were as follows (all sales were made at a mark up of 25% on cost):

Note 1 Alphas investment in Beta


On 1 April 2010 Alpha acquired 80 million shares in Beta by means of a share exchange. Alpha
issued one share for every two shares acquired in Beta. On 1 April 2010 the market value of an Alpha
share was $4 and the market value of a Beta share was $180. The terms of the business
combination provide for an additional cash payment to the former shareholders of Beta on 30 June
2012 based on its post-acquisition financial performance in the first two years since acquisition. The
fair value of this additional payment was $20 million on 1 April 2010. The post acquisition
performance of Beta was such that the fair value of this payment had increased to $22 million by
30 September 2011. The investment in Beta and the non-current liabilities of Alpha at 30 September
2010 include $20 million in respect of the additional payment due to be made on 30 June 2012.

29

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.

Note 6 Alphas investment in Sigma


Alphas investment in Sigma does not give Alpha sole control, joint control or significant influence.
The investment was purchased on 1 January 2011 for $15 million. The investment was classified as
fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value of the investment in Sigma on 30
September 2011 was $16 million. In the tax jurisdiction in which Alpha is located unrealised profits on
the revaluation of equity investments are not subject to current tax. Any such profits are taxed only
when the investment is sold.
Note 7 Employees share option scheme
On 1 October 2009 Alpha granted 5,000 share options to 1,000 key employees. The options are due
to vest on 30 September 2013 provided the employees remain in employment at 30 September 2013.
On 1 October 2009 the directors of Alpha estimated that 90% of the key employees would satisfy the
vesting condition. Actual employee turnover was such that this estimate was revised to 92% on 30
September 2010 and 93% on 30 September 2011.
At 1 October 2009 the fair value of each share option was estimated to be $120. This estimate was
revised to $125 on 30 September 2010 and $128 on 30 September 2011. You can ignore the
deferred tax implications of the information in this note.
Alpha correctly recognised this transaction in the financial statements for the year ended 30
September 2010. However, they have made no additional adjustments in the financial statements for
the year ended 30 September 2011.
Note 8 Long-term borrowings
On 1 October 2010 Alpha issued 50 million loan notes of $1 each at par. The annual interest payable
on these notes is 5 cents per note, payable in arrears. The notes are redeemable at par on 30
September 2015 or convertible (at the option of the note-holders) into equity shares on that date. On
1 October 2010 investors in loan notes with no conversion option would have required an annual rate
of return of 8%. On 1 October 2010 the directors of Alpha included $50 million in long-term
borrowings in respect of the loan notes. The actual interest paid of $25 million was charged as a
finance cost in Alphas income statement for the year ended 30 September 2011.
Relevant discount factors are as follows:
Present value of $1 payable at the end of year 5
Cumulative present value of $1 payable at the end of years 1-5

Note 9 Modification of vehicles


On 1 January 2011 legislation was passed requiring Alpha to carry out modifications to its motor
vehicles to enable harmful emissions to be reduced. The modifications should have been completed
by 30 June 2011 at an estimated cost to Alpha of $3 million. In fact by 30 September 2011 none of
the vehicles had been modified although they continued to be used. It is likely that Alpha will be fined
$500,000 per month for the illegal use of the vehicles. The directors of Alpha are uncertain exactly
when they will carry out the modifications but they intend to do so sometime during the year ended 30
September 2012. They expect that a fine will become payable very shortly as legal action has
commenced against Alpha.
Required:

proceeds of the loan are to be received over the year to 30 November 2011 and are to be repaid
