The following notes are relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements:
Tiles purchased 80% of the ordinary shares of Carpet on 1 May 20X3 for $96 million.
The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was $90 million. At the
acquisition date, the share capital and retained earnings of Carpet were $10 million
and $57 million respectively and other components of equity were $8 million. The
excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets over their carrying amounts at
the acquisition date was due to a broadcasting licence which, at 1 May 20X3, had a
remaining useful life of 5 years. Amortisation is presented in administrative expenses.
The non-controlling interest in Carpet at the acquisition date was calculated as its
proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiarys identifiable net assets.
Tiles purchased 80% of the ordinary shares in Hardwood four years ago for
$130 million. The fair value of Hardwoods net assets at the acquisition date was
$100 million and the non-controlling interest at the acquisition date was measured at
its fair value of $23 million. On 1 February 20X5, Tiles sold 70% of the ordinary shares
of Hardwood for $170 million. Hardwoods identifiable net assets were $140 million
at the disposal date. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Hardwood had not been
impaired. Tiles remaining 10% holding in the shares of Hardwood had a fair value of
$11 million on 1 February 20X5 and was designated to be measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income. The fair value of the 10% holding at 30 April
20X5 was $11.5 million. In the current year, Tiles has posted no accounting entries in
respect of Hardwood in its individual financial statements. Hardwood does not meet
the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation.

Tiles is a public limited company which has investments in a number of other companies.
These companies prepare their financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards. The draft statements of profit or loss for Tiles and its
investments for the year ended 30 April 20X5 are presented below:
ter
During the year, Tiles sold goods to Carpet for $14 million. All of the goods had been
sold to third parties by 30 April 20X5.
On 1 May 20X4, Tiles purchased an item of property, plant and equipment for
$30 million and attributed it a 30 year useful life. The depreciation charge for the
year has been accounted for. On 30 April 20X5, a surveyor valued the asset at
$32 million. Tiles has not yet accounted for this revaluation or for any deferred tax
relating to the asset. The assets cost is written down for tax purposes at a rate of
10% per annum. The applicable tax rate is 20%.
On 1 March 20X5, Tiles sold goods to a customer located overseas for CU25 million.
The sale was correctly recorded by Tiles but no other accounting entries have been
posted in respect of this transaction. By 30 April 20X5, the invoice had not been
settled. The following exchange rates are relevant:

Saffron, an entity unrelated to the Tiles group, operates in a country whose currency is the
Franc (FR). Saffron makes 70% of its sales in Francs and 30% of its sales in dollars ($). Any
dollar receipts are immediately converted into Francs. Saffrons ordinary shares are 90%
owned by another entity called Cumin. Cumins functional currency is the dollar. Saffrons
line of business is different from the rest of the Cumin group, and it operates with
considerable autonomy. Saffron relies on finance in the form of local-currency bank loans,
rather than intra-group finance.

Brick is a company that manufactures and sells mobile phones and mobile phone contracts.
It prepares its financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards and
has a year end of 30 April 20X4.
Brick launched a promotion during the year to attract new customers to its network.
Under this promotion, customers sign a non-cancellable contract to subscribe to the
Brick network for twelve months. The cost is $30 per month, payable at the end of
each month. This price includes a new handset and network access. The normal retail
price of these elements is as follows:
Handset
Network access (per month)
On 1 May 20X3, Brick bid $100m for a license to use the radio spectrum for the next
generation of mobile phone services. These services will be offered to customers
from 20X5.

(b)
ter
In total, 100,000 new customers signed up for this promotion. The contracts all
began on 1 March 20X4.
(7 marks)
Brick must pay a fee of 400,000 Dinar (DN) on 31 December 20X4. The directors of
Brick have become increasingly concerned about exchange rate fluctuations and
therefore, on 1 February 20X4, entered into a futures contract to buy DN400,000 for
$200,000 on 31 December 20X4. This contract was designated as a cash flow hedge,
all necessary documentation was completed, and all hedge effectiveness criteria
were met.
as
(c)
tud
Some investment analysts have argued in the press that Brick may have over-paid for
this license. Market research has shown that most customers are extremely satisfied
with current network speeds. It is therefore widely believed that this next
generation of mobile phone services will not gain mainstream popularity until 20X6
at the earliest. Under the terms of purchase, Brick is prohibited from selling the
license to other mobile phone operators.
(5 marks)
Brick needed to raise finance during the period and therefore entered into a sale and
finance leaseback transaction. On 1 May 20X3, it sold property, plant and equipment
with a carrying amount of $4.5m to the bank for proceeds of $6 million. This was
then leased back on a 15 year term, with payments of $650,000 due annually in
arrears. The rate of interest implicit in the lease is 7.1%.

Golden Gate is a newly formed public limited company involved in property development.
Their financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). The following accounting issues have arisen in the year ended
30 June 20X4 and need to be resolved.
(b)
During the year ended 30 June 20X4, a decision was made to relocate Golden Gates
key business functions in an attempt to reduce operating costs. The decision to
relocate was communicated to those affected in June 20X4. Relocation expenses will
not be paid until August 20X4 and are estimated at $3m. The directors of Golden
Gate do not believe that the cost of $3m should be shown in the financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 20X4 because no expenditure has been incurred.
(5 marks)
(c)
Golden Gate has a defined contribution pension scheme that all employees are
enrolled into. However, in the year ended 30 June 20X4, it set up an additional fund
(Fund) as a way of enhancing post-retirement benefits. The terms of the Fund are as
follows:
.co
m
Golden Gate owns investment properties, which are measured at fair value. The
investment properties are held to earn rental income in the long term. Although the
sales prices of similar properties are available, the directors believe that a fair value
measurement based on their estimates of future rental income would more faithfully
represent the value of the properties to Golden Gate. The directors are unsure as to
whether this complies with the requirements of IFRS.
(5 marks)
ter
ym
a
Employees with more than two years service will be automatically enrolled
into the Fund.
Golden Gates contributions into the Fund are voluntary. In the year ended
30 April 2015, its contributions were equivalent to 1% of wages and salaries.
Whilst the fund is in existence members will, upon retirement, receive an
annual lump sum based on their number of years of service.
Golden Gate can cancel the Fund at any point. If cancelled, no further benefits
or compensation will be paid to members.
tud
as
Previously, the national press have been critical of Golden Gate because of its low
levels of employee remuneration, which have generally increased below the level of
inflation. As a result, some believe that the announcement of the Fund is simply a
public relations exercise, and many employees remain sceptical about Golden Gates
commitment to it.
On 1 February 20X4, Golden Gate purchased a property located overseas for CU2m.
This property is to be sold in the ordinary course of business. On 30 June 20X4, it had
an estimated net sales price of CU2.5m. This valuation was confirmed post year-end.
There have been significant fluctuations in the currency markets. The following

A revised version of IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures was issued in
May 2011. The standard defines an associate as an entity over which an investor has
significant influence. IAS 28 states that associates should be accounted for using the
equity method in the consolidated financial statements. However, equity accounting,

Part (a) of this question is a group accounting question. Tiles lost control of Hardwood
during the year. Hardwood is therefore consolidated until the disposal date and a profit or
loss on disposal must be calculated. Part (b) of the question requires knowledge and
application of the rules governing functional currency. Remember to start your answer by
stating relevant definitions and rules per the accounting standard (IAS 21), and then apply
these to the scenario. Part (c) covers ethics, and this is something which should be expected
within the compulsory question. Make sure that your answer is specific to the question.

Part (b) requires knowledge of both IAS 38 Intangible Assets and IAS 36 Impairment of
Assets. In the exam, watch out for assets that were over-paid for or which are not
performing as well as expected they require an impairment review.
Brick has received $6m ($30 2 months 100,000) but has recognised revenue of
$23.4m ($20.9m + $2.5m). Therefore the difference of $17.4m ($23.4m $6m)
should be recognised as a receivable on the statement of financial position. (1 mark)

The value in use will be determined by estimating the future cash flows that will be

Since a license does not generate cash inflows and outflows by itself, it may have to
be tested for impairment as part of a larger cash generating unit (CGU).

The fact that significant cash inflows are not expected until 20X6 will mean that
impairment is more likely. This is because cash flows arising further in the future will
be discounted more heavily, thus reducing the value-in-use.

If a cash flow hedge meets all required conditions then the portion of the gain or loss
on the instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge shall be recognised in

In Section B questions, make sure that you demonstrate your knowledge of the relevant
rules from the accounting standards before applying them to the scenario. For instance,
there are easy marks to obtain for stating how a fair value should be measured (part a) and
when a provision should be recognised (part b).
Remember to attempt all parts of the question. If you miss out a part then you will lose
professional marks.

IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.
(1 mark)
ym

ter
When determining a fair value, the standard emphasises the use of level one inputs
wherever possible. These are unadjusted quoted prices on an active market. This
means that there must be a market which is trading with sufficient frequency and
volume for identical assets or liabilities to achieve a reliable estimate of fair value.
(1 mark)
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices in level one which are observable
for the asset or liability to be measured.
(1 mark)
tud
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. These should be kept to a minimum and used
only when insufficient data can be obtained from level 1 and 2 inputs.
(1 mark)
(IFRS 13 knowledge: 3 marks max)
Forecasts of future rental income are a level 3 input and must not be used to
determine a fair value if level 1 or 2 inputs can be obtained.

Golden Gate has access to selling price for similar properties. Although adjustments
would be required for differences such as size, location and age to determine the fair
value of their properties, this is likely to constitute a level 2 input.
(1 mark)
To recognise a provision as per IAS 37, the following criteria must be satisfied:
There must be a present obligation from a past event
There must be a probable outflow of economic benefit
The costs to settle the obligation must be capable of being estimated reliably.

Under defined contribution plans, investment risk (that assets invested will be

It is possible that the money in the Fund will not be sufficient to pay employees the
retirement benefits stated in the plan.
(1 mark)
Therefore it could be argued that Golden Gate does bear some actuarial and
investment risk because, if it continues with the Fund, it would need to make up for
this shortfall.
(1 mark)
as
However, of greater importance is the fact that Golden Gate has no obligation to pay
benefits to Fund members.
(1 mark)
cc
The scheme can be cancelled at any point and therefore no legal obligation exists.
(1 mark)
ea
It would also seem to be no constructive obligation to pay benefits because the Fund
is new and therefore there is no past practice of paying benefits to retired members.
(1 mark)
fre
Moreover, Golden Gate has historically paid low levels remuneration to employees.
The employees are therefore unlikely to have a valid expectation that Golden Gate
would continue with the Fund, particularly if its cost is higher than expected.
(1 mark)
As a result of Golden Gates lack of a legal or constructive obligation to pay further
contributions if the level of assets is insufficient, the Fund should be accounted for as
a defined contribution scheme.
(1 mark)
This means that the contributions payable in the period should be recognised as an
expense in profit or loss.

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which an entity
pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to

accounting was used (PPE of $14 million and goodwill of $1.92 million compared with
an investment in the associate of $3.27 million).

Kata is profitable so consolidating its results will improve the groups profit from
operations. This may have a positive impact on investor perception.

If Kata was accounted for using the equity method, the group would simply shows its
share of Katas profits as a single line below profit from operations. This would
therefore have no impact (positive or negative) on the groups operating profit.
