(b) Ambush loaned $200,000 to Bromwich on 1 December 2003. The effective and stated interest rate for this

loan was 8 per cent. Interest is payable by Bromwich at the end of each year and the loan is repayable on

30 November 2007. At 30 November 2005, the directors of Ambush have heard that Bromwich is in financial

difficulties and is undergoing a financial reorganisation. The directors feel that it is likely that they will only

receive $100,000 on 30 November 2007 and no future interest payment. Interest for the year ended

30 November 2005 had been received. The financial year end of Ambush is 30 November 2005.

2.Additionally the directors wish to know how the provision for deferred taxation would be calculated in the followingsituations under IAS12 ‘Income Taxes’:(i) On 1 November 2003, the company had granted ten million share options worth $40 million subject to a twoyear vesting period. Local tax law allows a tax deduction at the exercise date of the intrinsic value of the options.The intrinsic value of the ten million share options at 31 October 2004 was $16 million and at 31 October 2005was $46 million. The increase in the share price in the year to 31 October 2005 could not be foreseen at31 October 2004. The options were exercised at 31 October 2005. The directors are unsure how to accountfor deferred taxation on this transaction for the years ended 31 October 2004 and 31 October 2005.(ii) Panel is leasing plant under a finance lease over a five year period. The asset was recorded at the present valueof the minimum lease payments of $12 million at the inception of the lease which was 1 November 2004. Theasset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the five years and has no residual value. The annual leasepayments are $3 million payable in arrears on 31 October and the effective interest rate is 8% per annum. Thedirectors have not leased an asset under a finance lease before and are unsure as to its treatment for deferredtaxation. The company can claim a tax deduction for the annual rental payment as the finance lease does notqualify for tax relief.(iii) A wholly owned overseas subsidiary, Pins, a limited liability company, sold goods costing $7 million to Panel on1 September 2005, and these goods had not been sold by Panel before the year end. Panel had paid $9 millionfor these goods. The directors do not understand how this transaction should be dealt with in the financialstatements of the subsidiary and the group for taxation purposes. Pins pays tax locally at 30%.(iv) Nails, a limited liability company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Panel, and is a cash generating unit in its ownright. The value of the property, plant and equipment of Nails at 31 October 2005 was $6 million and purchasedgoodwill was $1 million before any impairment loss. The company had no other assets or liabilities. Animpairment loss of $1·8 million had occurred at 31 October 2005. The tax base of the property, plant andequipment of Nails was $4 million as at 31 October 2005. The directors wish to know how the impairment losswill affect the deferred tax provision for the year. Impairment losses are not an allowable expense for taxationpurposes.Assume a tax rate of 30%.Required:(b) Discuss, with suitable computations, how the situations (i) to (iv) above will impact on the accounting fordeferred tax under IAS12 ‘Income Taxes’ in the group financial statements of Panel.

3.4 Ryder, a public limited company, is reviewing certain events which have occurred since its year end of 31 October2005. The financial statements were authorised on 12 December 2005. The following events are relevant to thefinancial statements for the year ended 31 October 2005:(i) Ryder has a good record of ordinary dividend payments and has adopted a recent strategy of increasing itsdividend per share annually. For the last three years the dividend per share has increased by 5% per annum.On 20 November 2005, the board of directors proposed a dividend of 10c per share for the year ended31 October 2005. The shareholders are expected to approve it at a meeting on 10 January 2006, and adividend amount of $20 million will be paid on 20 February 2006 having been provided for in the financialstatements at 31 October 2005. The directors feel that a provision should be made because a ‘valid expectation’has been created through the company’s dividend record. (3 marks)(ii) Ryder disposed of a wholly owned subsidiary, Krup, a public limited company, on 10 December 2005 and madea loss of $9 million on the transaction in the group financial statements. As at 31 October 2005, Ryder had nointention of selling the subsidiary which was material to the group. The directors of Ryder have stated that therewere no significant events which have occurred since 31 October 2005 which could have resulted in a reductionin the value of Krup. The carrying value of the net assets and purchased goodwill of Krup at 31 October 2005were $20 million and $12 million respectively. Krup had made a loss of $2 million in the period 1 November2005 to 10 December 2005. (5 marks)(iii) Ryder acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, Metalic, a public limited company, on 21 January 2004. Theconsideration payable in respect of the acquisition of Metalic was 2 million ordinary shares of $1 of Ryder plusa further 300,000 ordinary shares if the profit of Metalic exceeded $6 million for the year ended 31 October2005. The profit for the year of Metalic was $7 million and the ordinary shares were issued on 12 November2005. The annual profits of Metalic had averaged $7 million over the last few years and, therefore, Ryder hadincluded an estimate of the contingent consideration in the cost of the acquisition at 21 January 2004. The fairvalue used for the ordinary shares of Ryder at this date including the contingent consideration was $10 per share.The fair value of the ordinary shares on 12 November 2005 was $11 per share. Ryder also made a one for fourbonus issue on 13 November 2005 which was applicable to the contingent shares issued. The directors areunsure of the impact of the above on earnings per share and the accounting for the acquisition. (7 marks)(iv) The company acquired a property on 1 November 2004 which it intended to sell. The property was obtainedas a result of a default on a loan agreement by a third party and was valued at $20 million on that date foraccounting purposes which exactly offset the defaulted loan. The property is in a state of disrepair and Ryderintends to complete the repairs before it sells the property. The repairs were completed on 30 November 2005.The property was sold after costs for $27 million on 9 December 2005. The property was classified as ‘held forsale’ at the year end under IFRS5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ but shown atthe net sale proceeds of $27 million. Property is depreciated at 5% per annum on the straight-line basis and nodepreciation has been charged in the year. (5 marks)(v) The company granted share appreciation rights (SARs) to its employees on 1 November 2003 based on tenmillion shares. The SARs provide employees at the date the rights are exercised with the right to receive cashequal to the appreciation in the company’s share price since the grant date. The rights vested on 31 October2005 and payment was made on schedule on 1 December 2005. The fair value of the SARs per share at31 October 2004 was $6, at 31 October 2005 was $8 and at 1 December 2005 was $9. The company hasrecognised a liability for the SARs as at 31 October 2004 based upon IFRS2 ‘Share-based Payment’ but theliability was stated at the same amount at 31 October 2005. (5 marks)Required:Discuss the accounting treatment of the above events in the financial statements of the Ryder Group for the yearended 31 October 2005, taking into account the implications of events occurring after the balance sheet date.(The mark allocations are set out after each paragraph above.)(25 marks)

  • 第1题:

    (ii) Explain the accounting treatment under IAS39 of the loan to Bromwich in the financial statements of

    Ambush for the year ended 30 November 2005. (4 marks)


    正确答案:
    (ii) There is objective evidence of impairment because of the financial difficulties and reorganisation of Bromwich. The
    impairment loss on the loan will be calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows. The future cash flows
    will be $100,000 on 30 November 2007. This will be discounted at an effective interest rate of 8% to give a present
    value of $85,733. The loan will, therefore, be impaired by ($200,000 – $85,733) i.e. $114,267.
    (Note: IAS 39 requires accrual of interest on impaired loans at the original effective interest rate. In the year to
    30 November 2006 interest of 8% of $85,733 i.e. $6,859 would be accrued.)

    (d) Sirus raised a loan with a bank of $2 million on 1 May 2007. The market interest rate of 8% per annum is to

    be paid annually in arrears and the principal is to be repaid in 10 years time. The terms of the loan allow Sirus

    to redeem the loan after seven years by paying the full amount of the interest to be charged over the ten year

    period, plus a penalty of $200,000 and the principal of $2 million. The effective interest rate of the repayment

    option is 9·1%. The directors of Sirus are currently restructuring the funding of the company and are in initial

    discussions with the bank about the possibility of repaying the loan within the next financial year. Sirus is

    uncertain about the accounting treatment for the current loan agreement and whether the loan can be shown as

    a current liability because of the discussions with the bank. (6 marks)

    Appropriateness of the format and presentation of the report and quality of discussion (2 marks)

    Required:

    Draft a report to the directors of Sirus which discusses the principles and nature of the accounting treatment of

    the above elements under International Financial Reporting Standards in the financial statements for the year

    ended 30 April 2008.


    正确答案:
    (d) Repayment of the loan
    If at the beginning of the loan agreement, it was expected that the repayment option would not be exercised, then the effective
    interest rate would be 8% and at 30 April 2008, the loan would be stated at $2 million in the statement of financial position
    with interest of $160,000 having been paid and accounted for. If, however, at 1 May 2007, the option was expected to be
    exercised, then the effective interest rate would be 9·1% and at 30 April 2008, the cash interest paid would have been
    $160,000 and the interest charged to the income statement would have been (9·1% x $2 million) $182,000, giving a
    statement of financial position figure of $2,022,000 for the amount of the financial liability. However, IAS39 requires the
    carrying amount of the financial instrument to be adjusted to reflect actual and revised estimated cash flows. Thus, even if
    the option was not expected to be exercised at the outset but at a later date exercise became likely, then the carrying amount
    would be revised so that it represented the expected future cash flows using the effective interest rate. As regards the
    discussions with the bank over repayment in the next financial year, if the loan was shown as current, then the requirements
    of IAS1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ would not be met. Sirus has an unconditional right to defer settlement for longer
    than twelve months and the liability is not due to be legally settled in 12 months. Sirus’s discussions should not be considered
    when determining the loan’s classification.
    It is hoped that the above report clarifies matters.

  • 第3题:

    (d) The management of Wonderland plc have become concerned about the increased level of operating costs

    associated with its petrol-driven ferries and have made a strategic decision to dispose of these. They are now

    considering entering into a contract with the Newman Steamship Company (NSC), a shipping organisation based

    in Robynland. The contract would entail NSC providing transport to and from Cinola Island for all visitors to the

    zoo and circus.

    As a result of negotiations with NSC, the directors of Wonderland plc are considering two options whereby NSC

    will become responsible for the transportation of visitors to and from Cinola Island with effect from 1 December

    2007 or 1 December 2008.

    Additional information is available as follows:

    (1) NSC would require Wonderland plc to pay for the necessary modifications to their steamships in order that

    they would satisfy marine regulations with regard to passenger transportation. The only firm which could

    undertake this work is currently working to full capacity and would require a payment of £2,450,000 in

    order to undertake the work necessary so that the ferries could be in operation by 1 December 2007. The

    same firm would require a payment of £1,725,000 in order to make the necessary modifications so that

    the ferries could be in operation by 1 December 2008. The government of Robynland would be willing to

    pay a grant of 8% towards the cost of getting the ferries into operation by 1 December 2007, but would not

    be willing to pay a grant in respect of any later date.

    (2) On 1 December 2002 Wonderland plc paid £500,000 to the Port Licencing Authority of Robynland. This

    payment was for a licence which entitles Wonderland plc to use all harbour facilities in Robynland during

    the five-year period ending 30 November 2007. The licence could be renewed on 1 December 2007 at a

    cost of £150,000 per annum.

    (3) Redundancy payments would need to be paid in respect of loss of employment. These would amount to

    £1,200,000 if the contract with NSC commenced on 1 December 2007. This amount would reduce to

    £750,000 if the contract commenced on 1 December 2008.

    (4) Wonderland plc has a contract for the provision of petrol for its ferries which is due to expire on 30 November

    2008. Early termination of the contract would incur a penalty charge of £76,000. An emergency reserve

    stock of petrol held by Wonderland plc, which cannot be used after 30 November 2007 due to marine

    regulations regarding the age of fuel, could be sold for £55,000 on 1 December 2007 but not on any date

    thereafter.

    (5) The ferries could be sold for £3,300,000 on 1 December 2007. If retained after 1 December 2007 the

    ferries would require servicing during the year ending 30 November 2008 which would incur costs

    amounting to £150,000. The resale value of the ferries on 1 December 2008 would be £2,900,000.

    (6) Stock of consumable items which originally cost £150,000 could be sold on 1 December 2007 for

    £110,000 and on 1 December 2008 for £50,000.

    Required:

    (i) On purely financial grounds, advise whether the management of Wonderland plc should enter into a

    contract with NSC with effect from 1 December 2007 or 1 December 2008. You may ignore the time

    value of money. (9 marks)

    听力原文: Some banks offer other types of loans repayable by monthly installments, such as business development loans, house improvement loans, and farm development loans. These may be either secured or unsecured. Secured loans attract a slightly lower rate of interest than unsecured loans. Some banks offer revolving credit schemes. These normally involve loans repayable by regular monthly installments, but they differ from other loans repayable by installments in two respects. First, the borrower need not take up the full amount of the loan at the outset. Secondly, as his repayments reduce his indebtedness, he can "top up" his loan by borrowing more, provided that the total debt outstanding does not exceed his agreed credit limit. In 1967 some banks introduced a new form. of account called a "budget account". The object is to allow personal customers to spread the incidence of normal personal and household expenditure.

  • 第13题:

    (c) Issue of bond

    The club proposes to issue a 7% bond with a face value of $50 million on 1 January 2007 at a discount of 5%

    that will be secured on income from future ticket sales and corporate hospitality receipts, which are approximately

    $20 million per annum. Under the agreement the club cannot use the first $6 million received from corporate

    hospitality sales and reserved tickets (season tickets) as this will be used to repay the bond. The money from the

    bond will be used to pay for ground improvements and to pay the wages of players.

    The bond will be repayable, both capital and interest, over 15 years with the first payment of $6 million due on

    31 December 2007. It has an effective interest rate of 7·7%. There will be no active market for the bond and

    the company does not wish to use valuation models to value the bond. (6 marks)

    Required:

    Discuss how the above proposals would be dealt with in the financial statements of Seejoy for the year ending

    31 December 2007, setting out their accounting treatment and appropriateness in helping the football club’s

    cash flow problems.

    (Candidates do not need knowledge of the football finance sector to answer this question.)


    正确答案:

    (c) Issue of bond
    This form. of financing a football club’s operations is known as ‘securitisation’. Often in these cases a special purpose vehicle
    is set up to administer the income stream or assets involved. In this case, a special purpose vehicle has not been set up. The
    benefit of securitisation of the future corporate hospitality sales and season ticket receipts is that there will be a capital
    injection into the club and it is likely that the effective interest rate is lower because of the security provided by the income
    from the receipts. The main problem with the planned raising of capital is the way in which the money is to be used. The
    use of the bond for ground improvements can be commended as long term cash should be used for long term investment but
    using the bond for players’ wages will cause liquidity problems for the club.
    This type of securitisation is often called a ‘future flow’ securitisation. There is no existing asset transferred to a special purpose
    vehicle in this type of transaction and, therefore, there is no off balance sheet effect. The bond is shown as a long term liability
    and is accounted for under IAS39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. There are no issues of
    derecognition of assets as there can be in other securitisation transactions. In some jurisdictions there are legal issues in
    assigning future receivables as they constitute an unidentifiable debt which does not exist at present and because of this
    uncertainty often the bond holders will require additional security such as a charge on the football stadium.
    The bond will be a financial liability and it will be classified in one of two ways:
    (i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities that the entity either has incurred for
    trading purposes and, where permitted, has designated to the category at inception. Derivative liabilities are always
    treated as held for trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. An example of a liability held
    for trading is an issued debt instrument that the entity intends to repurchase in the near term to make a gain from shortterm
    movements in interest rates. It is unlikely that the bond will be classified in this category.
    (ii) The second category is financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. It is the default category for financial liabilities
    that do not meet the criteria for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. In most entities, most financial
    liabilities will fall into this category. Examples of financial liabilities that generally would be classified in this category are
    account payables, note payables, issued debt instruments, and deposits from customers. Thus the bond is likely to be
    classified under this heading. When a financial liability is recognised initially in the balance sheet, the liability is
    measured at fair value. Fair value is the amount for which a liability can be settled between knowledgeable, willing
    parties in an arm’s length transaction. Since fair value is a market transaction price, on initial recognition fair value will
    usually equal the amount of consideration received for the financial liability. Subsequent to initial recognition financial
    liabilities are measured using amortised cost or fair value. In this case the company does not wish to use valuation
    models nor is there an active market for the bond and, therefore, amortised cost will be used to measure the bond.
    The bond will be shown initially at $50 million × 95%, i.e. $47·5 million as this is the consideration received. Subsequentlyat 31 December 2007, the bond will be shown as follows:

    (4 marks)


    正确答案:
    (ii) Procedures to verify the number of serious accidents during 2007 could include the following:
    Tutorial note: procedures should focus on the completeness of the disclosure as it is in the interest of Sci-Tech Co to
    understate the number of serious accidents.
    – Review the accident log book and count the total number of accidents during the year
    – Discuss the definition of ‘serious accident’ with the directors and clarify exactly what criteria need to be met to
    satisfy the definition
    – For serious accidents identified:
    ? review HR records to determine the amount of time taken off work
    ? review payroll records to determine the financial amount of sick pay awarded to the employee
    ? review correspondence with the employee regarding the accident.
    Tutorial note: the above will help to clarify that the accident was indeed serious.
    – Review board minutes where the increase in the number of serious accidents has been discussed
    – Review correspondence with Sci-Tech Co’s legal advisors to ascertain any legal claims made against the company
    due to accidents at work
    – Enquire as to whether any health and safety visits have been conducted during the year by regulatory bodies, and
    review any documentation or correspondence issued to Sci-Tech Co after such visits.
    Tutorial note: it is highly likely that in a regulated industry such as pharmaceutical research, any serious accident
    would trigger a health and safety inspection from the appropriate regulatory body.
    – Discuss the level of accidents with representatives of Sci-Tech Co’s employees to reach an understanding as to
    whether accidents sometimes go unreported in the accident log book.

  • 第22题:


    John, CPA, is auditing the financial statements of ABC Bank Co.for the year ended December 31,20×8. The following information is available:


    (a)John assessed the risk of material misstatements in short-term loan account at 80% and plans to limit to 10% the risk of failing to detect misstatements in the account equal to the tolerable error assigned to the account.


    (b) John is testing the operating effectiveness of the loan approval procedure(a control activ- ity) related to granting loans. In 20×8,ABC Bank granted to 10 000 loans in total. John deter- mined that the acceptable risk of assessing control risk too low is 10%. He selected a sample made up of 60 sampling units and tested without any deviation found. Some Poisson Risk Factors(Relia- bility Factors) are reprinted as follows:



    (c) John is using the Ratio Estimation Variable Sampling method to test the long-term loan balance at December 31, 20×8. The total recorded balance is RMB¥300 billion , made up of 4 000 items. John designed a sample made up of 200 items . The book value of the sample is RMB¥16. 5 billion. However, the audited value is RMB¥15. 6 billion.


    (d) John is performing substantive procedures on interest income from short-term loan. The average annual market interest rate for short-term loan is 5 percent. The audited short-term loan balances of ABC Bank Co. at the end of each month in 20×8 are as follows:



    Required :


    (1) Based on (a) , calculate the acceptable detection risk.


    (2) Based on (b) , calculate the upper limit of population deviation rate.


    (3) Based on (c), make a point estimate of the misstatement in the population. Sampling error need not to be considered.


    (4) Based on (d) , develop the expected result of interest income from short-term loan.


    (5) Assume that after the tests mentioned in (d) , John found that the interest income from short-term loan was understated by RMB¥0. 05billion. Prepare the adjusting entry.





    答案:
    解析:

    (1) acceptable detection risk = audit risk/the risk of material misstatement s = 10%/80% = 12. 5%


    (2) The upper limit of population deviation rate = Poisson risk factor/sample size = 2. 3/60 = 3. 83 %


    (3) ratio = 156/165 = 94. 54%


    estimate the actual value of the population = 3 000*94. 54% = 283. 62 billion a point estimate of the misstatement in of the population =3 000 -283. 62 *10 = 16. 38 billion


    (4) the expected result of interest income from short-term loan = (300 +320 +310 +300 + 330 +320 +320 +290 +310 +330 +300 +290)*5% =18. 6 billion
