This assessment task consists of four (5) questions. A total of 75 marks are allocated to the questions below, which will then be converted to a mark out of 15%.
All workings, when appropriate, must be shown to substantiate your answers.

Question 1 [12 marks]

Events after the reporting period

Boots Ltd is finalising its financial statements for the reporting period ending 30 June 2015. On 20 September 2015, before the financial statements have been finalised and authorised for issue, the company’s directors became aware of the following situations:

a) The company owns a factory in Sydney that was completely destroyed by a severe hail storm on 10 July 2015. The factory had a carrying amount in the draft financial statements of $600,000. The factory was insured for $600,000, and Boots Ltd expects to receive this money from the insurer in October 2015.

b) On 12 July 2015, the financial cost of inventory shipped from overseas is determined. The inventory was received in June 2015 and the cost was estimated for accounting purposes. The revised cost is $200,000 lower than the prior estimate.

c) On 15 July 2015, Smith Ltd, a major customer of Boots Ltd, indicated that it was bankrupt. At this date, Smith Ltd owed $45,000 to Boots Ltd. This amount was owed to Boots Ltd from a sale made to Smith Ltd in June 2015.

d) It is discovered, on 18 July 2015, that a divisional manager has been under-depreciating plant and equipment. The motivation of the manager was to maximise the division’s profit figure in order to maximise his bonuses. The carrying amount of the relevant plant and equipment in Boots’ draft financial statements is $2,500,000. An investigation by the company’s internal audit division, presented to Boots’ directors on 25 July 2015, suggests that the plant and equipment has a recoverable amount of $1,500,000.

Assume all amounts are material for financial statement purposes.

Required:

With reference to AASB 110, explain whether the above events will be classified as either adjusting or non-adjusting events after the end of the reporting period, providing reasons for your decision. State the appropriate accounting treatment for each event in Boots Ltd’s 2015 financial statements.

Question 4 [15 marks]

Property, plant and equipment

Storm Ltd commences operations on 1 July 2013, and on this date, acquires two items of plant:

Plant A: $120,000
Plant B: $350,000

Both assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Plant A has an estimated useful life of 10 years, and an estimated residual value of $20,000. Plant B has an estimated useful life of 5 years, and an estimated residual value of $0.

At 30 June 2014, Storm Ltd decides to use the revaluation model for the plant. The fair value of Plant A is $80,000, and the fair value of Plant B is $300,000. The remaining useful life and residual value of each item has not changed.

At 30 June 2015, the fair value of Plant A is $75,000, and the fair value of Plant B is $200,000.
Assume a tax rate of 30%.

Required:

Prepare journal entries for Storm Ltd at 1 July 2013, 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015 to record the above. Show narrations and all relevant workings.

Question 5 [15 marks]

Impairment of assets

Rosie Ltd has a division that represents a separate cash generating unit. At 30 June 2014, the carrying amounts of the assets of the division, valued pursuant to the cost model, are as follows:

Assets:
$
Cash
5,000
Plant and equipment
200,000
Less: accumulated depreciation
(60,000)
Land
300,000
Inventory
30,000
Accounts receivable
35,000
Patents and trademarks
60,000
Goodwill
10,000
Carrying amount of cash generating unit
580,000

The receivables were regarded as collectable, and the inventory’s fair value less costs to sell was equal to its carrying amount. The patents and trademarks have a fair value less costs to sell of $50,000, and the land has a fair value less costs to sell of $280,000.

The directors of Rosie estimate that, at 30 June 2014, the fair value less costs to sell of the division amounts to $520,000, while the value in use of the division is $530,000.

As a result, management increased the depreciation of the plant and equipment from $30,000 p.a. to $40,000 for the year ended 30 June 2015.

By 30 June 2015, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was calculated to be $28,000 greater than the carrying amount of the assets of the unit.
Required:

Determine how Rosie Ltd should account for the results of the impairment test at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015, and prepare any necessary journal entries. Provide explanations where appropriate to support your answer. Show all workings.

Presentation
Physical presentation of assignments
It is essential that presentation of assignments adheres to accepted standards in relation to neatness and layout, as you are practicing to present material in a work situation. Correct formatting and referencing procedures of material should be strictly adhered to for essays. You should submit a proper reference list (using APA referencing style) for all essay type assignments. A reference list contains only those works cited or quoted from in your essay. A bibliography is acceptable for practical-type assignments.

For practical questions:
All journal entries must include narrations unless otherwise specified;
Any ledger accounts should preferably be shown in 'T' account format and dates and descriptions are included;
Journal entries and ledger accounts must reflect the strict order of sequence of events; financial statements (including extracts) should include proper headings and accord with presentation standards.
Penalties will be incurred if material is not correctly referenced and if presentation is not of an acceptable standard.

Please also note the following:
Journal entries, ledger accounts, worksheets and financial statements should always balance. If you have to submit a piece of work that does not balance because you cannot detect your error please include some comment about the source of your problem so the marker can provide appropriate feedback.
Include workings where appropriate. Partial marks can be allocated for workings where the final answer is incorrect.
Requirements
You must submit your assignment via Turnitin in Word file only. Any submissions in Excel or PDF files will not be marked.
