2102AFE Additional Study Questions Only (Solutions)

Topic 1 Accounting Regulation and the Conceptual Framework
Question 1
Whether or not we need a conceptual framework is a matter of opinion. Also, what is included within
a conceptual framework will also be a matter of opinion. For example, we might not all agree on the
stated objectives of general purpose financial reporting or on the qualitative characteristics that
financial information should possess.
Ideally we would have had a conceptual framework prior to the development of Accounting Standards
as this may have enabled the development of Accounting Standards that are consistent with one
another. Also, if there is agreement on certain fundamental and key issues then such issues would not
need to be debated each time a new accounting standard is being developed. It is a costly process to
develop a conceptual framework, and one which will require ongoing work.

Question 2
According to the AASB Framework, an item of information is relevant if it is likely to influence
users resource allocation decisions. An item of information is reliable if it faithfully represents,
without bias, a particular transaction.
There is normally considered to be a trade-off between relevance and reliability. For example,
historical cost information may be particularly reliable, but for many decisions it may not be
particularly relevant. Current fair value data may be particularly relevant for particular decisions (for
example, in relation to a decision about selling an asset), but what management thinks the item is
currently worth will not ultimately be known until disposal. That is, the reliability of the information
may not be clear. This may particularly be the case for the market valuations attributed to unique and
thinly traded assets.
Further, financial statement data is typically audited prior to distribution. This may take many weeks.
The data becomes more reliable as a result of the audit but, being less timely, it becomes less relevant
for current investment decisions.

Question 5
(a) At 31 December 2014
Is there a present obligation as a result of an obligating event?
On the basis of the evidence available when the financial statements were approved, there is no
obligation as a result of past events.
Conclusion
No provision is recognised (see paragraphs 15 and 16). The matter is disclosed as a contingent
liability unless the probability of any outflow is regarded as remote (paragraph 86 (b)).
(b) At 31 December 2015
Is there a present obligation as a result of an obligating event?
On the basis of the evidence available, there is a present obligation.
Is there a probable outflow?
Probable.
Can a reliable estimate be made?
Yes. Given that the company is being sued, it is probably possible for them to make an estimate,
based on a range of possibilities (para 25).
Conclusion
A provision is recognised for the best estimate of the amount to settle the obligation (paragraphs 1416).

Question 7
Step 1: Determine the Recoverable Amount
RA is the higher of:

Fair value less costs of disposal = $205,000 (higher)

Value in Use = $155,000

Therefore, RA = $205,000
Step 2: Compare RA and CA

RA = $205,000
CA = $185,000 ($250,000 cost - $65,000 accumulated depreciation)
RA ($205,000) > CA ($185,000) so there is NO impairment loss

Therefore, NO journal entries are required.

Topic 6 Leases
Question 8
Requirement 1
The lease would be classified by both lessee and lessor as a finance lease as substantially all of the
risks and rewards incidental with ownership have been transferred as a result of the lease
arrangement.
This is evidenced by the fact that:

the lease is non-cancellable (by definition),

the lease term, at 67% (4years/6years), could be argued to represent a major part of the
economic life of the machine, and

the present value of the minimum lease payments is substantially all of the fair value of the
machine at the inception of the lease:
PV of MLP = 40,000 + 40,000 x 2.5771 [T2 8% 3 yrs]
= 40,000 + 103,084
= 143,084/154,109
= 93%

Topic 8 Revenue and Financial Statement Presentation
Question 10
AASB 118: paragraph 14:
Revenue from the sale of goods is only to be recognised when all of the following conditions have
been satisfied:
a) the entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods
b) the entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually
associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods
c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably
d) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the
entity
e) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

The manufacturer should recognise revenue when JJs Transport resells the goods to a third party.
JJs Transport has an unlimited right of return if it is not able to sell those goods to a third party.
Accordingly, the manufacturer has not transferred to JJs Transport the significant risks and
rewards of ownership.
If there is no market for the goods, it is the manufacturer who suffers, not JJs Transport (who can
simply return the goods to the manufacturer).
