The present value of $1 receivable at the end of each year, based on discount rates of 6% and 10% can be taken
as:
6% 10%
End of year 1 0·94 0·91
2 0·89 0·83
3 0·84 0·75
4 0·79 0·68
(iv) The draft financial statements contain an accumulating provision for the cost of restoring (landscaping) the site
of a quarry that is being operated by Deltoid. The result of an environmental audit has concluded that the
provision has been calculated on the wrong basis and is materially underprovided. A firm of environmental
consultants has summarised the required revision:
current provision required provision
$000 $000
Income statement charge – year to 31 March 2002 180 245
Balance sheet liability – at 31 March 2002 1,200 2,150
The directors consider that the incorrect original estimate constitutes a fundamental error.
(v) Deltoid made a 1 for 4 bonus issue of shares on 1 March 2002 utilising the revaluation reserve. This has not
yet been recorded in the above financial statements.
ACCA博客:blog.52acca.com
ACCA书店:shop.52acca.com
(vi) The directors of Deltoid wish to propose a final dividend that will give an earnings yield of 4% to the ordinary
shareholders. This is to be based on the current market price of Deltoid’s shares of $2·00 each. The bonus shares
in note (v) will rank for the final dividend. No interim dividends have been paid during the year. Deltoid discloses
proposed dividends as a note to the financial statements.
Required:
(a) Redraft the balance sheet of Deltoid as at 31 March 2002 making appropriate adjustments for the items in
(i) to (vi) above. (20 marks)
Note: work to the nearest $000 and show separately your working for the accumulated profits included in the
balance sheet.
(b) Calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share for Deltoid for the year to 31 March 2002. Assume a tax
rate of 25% and that only the actual loan interest paid is available for tax relief.
Ignore deferred tax. (5 marks)

3 It is generally recognised in practice that non-current assets should not be carried in a balance sheet at values that
are greater than they are ‘worth’. In the past there has been little guidance in this area with the result that impairment
losses were not recognised on a consistent or timely basis or were not recognised at all. IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’
was issued in June 1998 on this topic.
Required:
(a) (i) Define an impairment loss and explain when companies should carry out a review for impairment of
assets; (3 marks)
(ii) Describe the circumstances that may indicate that a company’s assets may have become impaired.
(7 marks)
(b) Shiplake is preparing its financial statements to 31 March 2002. The following situations have been identified
by an impairment review team:
(i) On 1 April 2001 Shiplake acquired two subsidiary companies, Halyard and Mainstay, in separate
acquisitions. Consolidated goodwill was calculated as:
Halyard Mainstay
$000 $000
Purchase consideration 12,000 4,500
ACCA博客:blog.52acca.com
ACCA书店:shop.52acca.com
A review of the fair value of each subsidiary’s net assets was undertaken in March 2002. Unfortunately both
companies’ net assets had declined in value. The estimated value of Halyard’s net assets as at 1 April 2001
was now only $7 million. This was due to more detailed information becoming available about the market
value of its specialised properties. Mainstay’s net assets were estimated to have a fair value of $500,000
less than their carrying value. This fall was due to some physical damage occurring to its plant and
machinery. Shiplake amortises all goodwill over a five-year life. (3 marks)
(ii) Shiplake has an item of earth-moving plant, which is hired out to companies on short-term contracts. Its
carrying value, based on depreciated historical cost, is $400,000. The estimated selling price of this asset
is only $250,000, with associated selling expenses of $5,000. A recent review of its value in use based on
its forecast future cash flows was estimated at $500,000. Since this review was undertaken there has been
a dramatic increase in interest rates that has significantly increased the cost of capital used by Shiplake to
discount the future cash flows of the plant. (4 marks)
(iii) Shiplake is engaged in a research and development project to produce a new product. In the year to
31 March 2001 the company spent $120,000 on research that concluded that there were sufficient
grounds to carry the project on to its development stage and a further $75,000 had been spent on
development. At that date management had decided that they were not sufficiently confident in the ultimate
profitability of the project and wrote off all the expenditure to date to the income statement. In the current
year further direct development costs have been incurred of $80,000 and the development work is now
almost complete with only an estimated $10,000 of costs to be incurred in the future. Production is
expected to commence within the next few months. Unfortunately the total trading profit from sales of the
new product is not expected to be as good as market research data originally forecast and is estimated at
only $150,000. As the future benefits are greater than the remaining future costs, the project will be
completed, but due to the overall deficit expected, the directors have again decided to write off all the
development expenditure. (4 marks)
(iv) Shiplake owns a company called Klassic Kars. Extracts from Shiplake’s consolidated balance sheet relating
to Klassic Kars are:
$000
Goodwill 80,000
Franchise costs 50,000
Restored vehicles (at cost) 90,000
Plant 100,000
Other net assets 50,000

ACCA Learning Web:en.52acca.com ACCA Forum:forum.52acca.com
ACCA学习网:www.52acca.com ACCA论坛:bbs.52acca.com
The restored vehicles have an estimated realisable value of $115 million. The franchise agreement contains
a ‘sell back’ clause, which allows Klassic Kars to relinquish the franchise and gain a repayment of
$30 million from the franchisor. An impairment review at 31 March 2002 has estimated that the value of
Klassic Kars as a going concern is only $240 million. (4 marks)
Required:
Explain, with numerical illustrations where possible, how the information in (i) to (iv) above would affect the
preparation of Shiplake’s consolidated financial statements to 31 March 2002. (15 marks as indicated)

4 You are the assistant financial controller of Judicious. One of your company’s credit controllers has asked you to
consider the account balance of one of your customers, Breadline. He is concerned at the pattern of payments and
increasing size and age of the account balance. As part of company policy he has obtained the most recently filed
financial statements of Breadline and these are summarised below. A note to the financial statements of Breadline
states that it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wheatmaster, and its main activities are the production and distribution
of bakery products to wholesalers. By coincidence your company’s Chief Executive has been made aware that
Breadline may be available for sale. She has asked for your opinion on whether Breadline would make a suitable
addition to the group’s portfolio.

From your company’s own records you have ascertained that sales to Breadline for the year to 2001 and 2000 were
$1,200,000 and $800,000 respectively and the year-end account receivable balances were $340,000 and
$100,000 respectively. Normal credit terms, which should apply to Breadline, are that payment is due 30 days after
the end of the month of sale. You are also aware that the company has not changed its address and is trading from
the same premises. A note to Breadline’s financial statements says that the profit on the disposal of the freehold
premises has been included in cost of sales as this is where the depreciation on the freehold was charged.
Note: a commercial rate of interest on the loan note of Breadline would be 8% per annum.
Required:
(a) Describe the matters that may be relevant when entity financial statements are used to assess the
performance of a company that is a wholly owned subsidiary. (5 marks)
Note: your answer should give attention to related party issues.
(b) From the information above and with the aid of suitable ratios, prepare a report for your Chief Executive on
the overall financial position of Breadline. Your answer should include reference to matters in the financial
statements of Breadline that may give you cause for concern or require further investigation. (20 marks)

5 Merryview specialises in construction contracts. One of its contracts, with Better Homes, is to build a complex of
luxury flats. The price agreed for the contract is $40 million and its scheduled date of completion is 31 December
2002. Details of the contract to 31 March 2001 are:
Commencement date 1 July 2000
Contract costs: $000
Architects’ and surveyors’ fees 500
Materials delivered to site 3,100
Direct labour costs 3,500
Overheads are apportioned at 40% of direct labour costs
Estimated cost to complete (excluding depreciation – see below) 14,800
Plant and machinery used exclusively on the contract cost $3,600,000 on 1 July 2000. At the end of the contract
it is expected to be transferred to a different contract at a value of $600,000. Depreciation is to be based on a time
apportioned basis.
Inventory of materials on site at 31 March 2001 is $300,000.
Better Homes paid a progress payment of $12,800,000 to Merryview on 31 March 2001.
At 31 March 2002 the details for the construction contract have been summarised as:
Contract costs to date (i.e. since the start of the contract) excluding all depreciation 20,400
Estimated cost to complete (excluding depreciation) 6,600
ACCA博客:blog.52acca.com
ACCA书店:shop.52acca.com
Required:
(a) Prepare extracts of the financial statements of Merryview for the construction contract with Better Homes
for:
(i) the year to 31 March 2001; (8 marks)
(ii) the year to 31 March 2002. (7 marks)
(b) Merryview conducts its activities from two properties, a head office in the city centre and a property in the
countryside where staff training is conducted. Both properties were acquired on 1 April 1999 and had estimated
lives of 25 years with no residual value. The company has a policy of carrying its land and buildings at current
values. However, until recently property prices had not changed for some years. On 1 October 2001 the
properties were revalued by a firm of surveyors. Details of this and the original costs are:
land buildings
$ $
Head office – cost 1 April 1999 500,000 1,200,000
– revalued 1 October 2001 700,000 1,350,000
Training premises – cost 1 April 1999 300,000 900,000
– revalued 1 October 2001 350,000 600,000
The fall in the value of the training premises is due mainly to damage done by the use of heavy equipment during
training. The surveyors have also reported that the expected life of the training property in its current use will only
be a further 10 years from the date of valuation. The estimated life of the head office remained unaltered.
Note: Merryview treats its land and its buildings as separate assets. Depreciation is based on the straight-line
method from the date of purchase or subsequent revaluation.
Required:
Prepare extracts of the financial statements of Merryview in respect of the above properties for the year to
31 March 2002. (10 marks)
