2020
Section A
QUESTION 1
(a) Peterson plc had 10 million ordinary shares in issue throughout the year ended 30
June 20X3. On 1 July 20X2 it had issued £2 million of 6% convertible loan stock, each £5 of loan stock convertible into 4 ordinary shares on 1 July 20X6 at the option of the holder.
Peterson plc had profit for the year ended 30 June 20X3 of £1,850,000. It pays tax on profits at 30%.
Required:
Calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 20X3.
(b) Pikton plc, who has a 31st December year-end, entered into a four-year lease for
a piece of equipment on 1 January 20X0 which requires lease payments of £20,000 to be made annually in advance. Pikton plc paid £20,000 on 1 January 20X0 at the commencement of the lease and has 3 remaining payments of £20,000 due on 1 January 20X1, 1 January 20X2, 1 January 20X3. The rate of interest implicit in the lease was 10%. Both the lease term and the asset’s estimated useful life were four years. Pikton uses straight line depreciation for all its assets. Pikton paid initial direct costs for the leased item of £1,000.
Required:
Using IFRS16 Leases, prepare the relevant SOFP and SOCI extracts for the year ended 31st Dec 20X1 (2nd year of the lease) that depict all the relevant figures in relation to the lease above. Make sure to present the lease liability broken down into its current and non-current part.
(c) Walk Talk, a mobile phone company, gives customers a “free” mobile phone when they sign a two-year contract at a price of £20 per month for the provision of network services. The mobile phone has a stand-alone price of £180 if bought independently. Other telecommunication providers offer similar two-year network contracts as a stand-alone service without a free mobile phone for £17.5 per month. Ignore any financing income.
Required:
According to “IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers”, explain how many performance obligations should be recognised in the above example; how Walk Talk must allocate the revenue across each performance obligation; at which point in time it should recognise revenue in relation to each performance obligation, providing the relevant figures in each case.
(d) Read the following statements and answer whether they are True or False (no further explanation is required):
(i) After initial recognition, investment property can be measured either using the fair value model or the cost model.
(ii) Assets held for sale are not depreciated and are measured at the lower
value between their fair value less costs to sell and their carrying amount.
(iii) An impairment loss can be reversed, with the exception of goodwill
impairment, when the circumstances that caused the impairment loss are favourably resolved.
(iv) An operating lease makes a company appear less geared and more
profitable when compared to purchasing the leased asset using a loan.
(v) Small changes in closing inventory have the biggest impact on profit when closing inventory is a fraction of profit, rather than a multiple of profit.
(vi) When classifying costs according to function in the SOCI, advertising costs
are allocated to administration expenses.
(vii) Unrealised gains and losses are classified under “other comprehensive
income” in the statement of comprehensive income.
(viii) Indirect production costs such as factory rent and depreciation of factory
equipment form part of the cost of inventory and are only expensed in the Income Statement when the inventory is sold.
(ix) During times of deflation, LIFO will provide the highest closing inventory
figure and the highest profit figure, compared to FIFO and AVCO in a given accounting period.
Section B
QUESTION 2
(a) Baker plc has suffered an impairment loss of £90,000 to one of its cash-generating
units (CGUs). This amount includes a specific impairment loss for the CGU’s patent, which is now estimated to have no value. Land and buildings have a fair value of £95,000 with estimated costs to sell of £5,000. Plant and machinery have a net selling price of £25,000.
The carrying amounts of the assets in the CGU prior to adjusting for impairment are:
|
£000 |
Goodwill |
50 |
Patent |
10 |
Land and buildings |
100 |
Plant and machinery |
50 |
Required:
(i) Explain what a cash-generating unit (CGU) is.
(ii) Explain how you will allocate the CGU’s impairment loss across the various assets
in the CGU and the reasoning behind your choices, according to IAS36 Impairment of Assets. Present a table displaying the carrying amount of the CGU’s assets after adjusting for impairment.
(b) There is one high-level difference between IFRS and US GAAP in the way they
approach accounting regulation. Name and explain this difference and briefly discuss its implications for financial reporting.
QUESTION 3
(a) Details of Micro plc’s non-current assets at 1 October 20X8, before being revalued
that day, were:
|
Freehold Land & Building £m |
Cost/valuation |
280 |
Accum. Depreciation |
(40) |
Carrying amount |
240 |
The land and building were revalued previously on 1 October 20X3 with £80 million attributable to the land and £200 million to the building. At that date, the estimated remaining life of the building was 25 years. A further revaluation was not needed until 1 October 20X8 when the land and building were valued at £85 million and £180 million respectively. The remaining estimated life of the building at this date was 20 years (the depreciation method choice and residual value assumptions remain unchanged).
There were no further changes (acquisitions or disposals) to the land and building during the year to 30 September 20X9.
Required:
Record the revaluation transaction that took place on 1 October 20X8 using the appropriate accounting entries. Present the table above as at 30 September 20X9.
(b) Inventory valuation offers ample opportunity for subjectivity and creative
accounting. Explain why and how profit is impacted by inventory valuation and under which circumstances a change in inventory valuation will have the biggest impact on profit. Describe 2 ways in which closing inventory figures can be inflated to boost profit figures (you must include at least one legal method involving accounting choice and judgement in your discussion).
QUESTION 4
Barker plc has been making trading losses for many years.
Below you will find a summary of its statement of financial position as at 31 Dec 20X5:
|
£m |
Equity |
|
Ord share capital (£1 shares) |
50 |
Retained losses |
(40) |
|
10 |
Non-current Liabilities |
|
10% debentures (£1) |
30 |
|
|
Net assets at book value |
40 |
Net assets in this example are defined as total assets – current liabilities.
The company is changing direction and revamping its product range and markets. Based on its new forecasts, Barker plc expects to make £7 .5 million profit before interest and tax every year from 1 January 20X6.
The going concern value of Barker’s net assets as at 31/12/20X5 is £35 million and the estimated break-up / liquidation value of Barker’s net assets as at 31/12/20X5 is £32.5 million.
To move forward, Barker’s management has proposed a capital reconstruction scheme which will require shareholders and debtholders to absorb the retained losses.
The proposed reconstruction scheme involves:
• cancelling all existing ordinary shares and debentures, writing off losses and reducing net asset values to £35 million;
• issuing 50,000,000 new ordinary shares of 20 pence each, with existing shareholders receiving 30,000,000 ordinary 20 pence shares and existing debenture holders to be issued with 20,000,000 ordinary 20 pence shares;
• issuing 20,000,000 new 12.5% debentures of £1 each to be given to existing debenture holders.
Required:
(a) Analyse the effect of liquidation by explaining the payoffs that debenture holders
and ordinary shareholders will receive in the event of Barker plc going into liquidation.
(b) Assuming Barker continues to operate, calculate the annual income that debenture holders and shareholders should expect with and without the proposed reconstruction taking place.
(c) Using the information from (a) and (b) above, discuss which of the three alternative solutions (liquidate, continue with reconstruction, continue without reconstruction) would debenture holders and shareholders prefer and explain why. In your discussion include numerical estimations of the expected return and discuss risk.
