Balance end of year € 750,000

Notes:

1. In June of 20X5, the company, a textile manufacturer, entered into irrevocable fixed price contracts to purchase enough silk to meet production needs for 20X6. The price of silk increased dramatically over the summer due to a shortage on world markets. In September the company’s designers decided to make last minute changes to next year’s product line with the result that less silk will be required than originally anticipated. In October the company sold its excess silk contracts to other manufacturers, realizing a gain of €30,000 on the sale. This is the third time in the last four years that Rorre Enterprises has been able to sell excess contracts at a profit.

2. In December the bookkeeper noticed that he had failed to record depreciation on the company’s vehicles and certain production equipment for the three-year period 20X3 to 20X5. The vehicles and equipment were being depreciated over eight years using a straight-line rate of €15,000 per year. The bookkeeper added the €45,000 to depreciation expense for the current year.

3. In late December 20X4, Rorre sold Pag Retail goods costing €30,000 for €60,000. The sale was appropriately recorded in 20X4 but the goods were included in the inventory count at December 31, 20X4, because they had not yet been delivered to the customer.

4. Included in other expenses is a loss of €30,000 on closure of operations. The company had operations in Canada, which it closed in September 20X5. The sales and operating expenses for the Canadian operation up to the date of closure were as follows:

Sales € 160,000 Less:Cost of sales 55,000Depreciation 16,000Other expenses 119,000

190,000 Loss € (30,000 )

5. The accountant failed to consider taxes. The company’s tax rate is 40%.

6. A freak spring flood caused a great deal of damage to the company’s manufacturing facilities and inventory. This is the first flood the area has experienced since records

Page 9: sophiasapiens.chez.comsophiasapiens.chez.com/gestion/Financial-Accounting/…  · Web viewFinancial Accounting: ... o.How should the account receivable of an individual ... The price

started to be maintained. The company’s insurance covered all of the loss except for €60,000.

7. The company uses the allowance method to determine bad debt expense. During 20X5, the accountant performed a study and determined that the company should have been providing for bad debts at a rate of 4% of sales instead of 3%. As a result, the company had underprovided for bad debts by a total of €40,000 in prior years.

Required1. (16 marks)

Prepare, in good form, the income statement for Rorre Enterprise. The company had 20,000 ordinary shares outstanding for the entire year.

2. (5 marks)

Prepare, in good form, the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for Rorre Enterprise as it relates to accumulated profits.

Question 4 (22 marks)Each of the following describes situations that a company may encounter.

1. A company experienced a €250,000 loss due to a fire caused by a lightning strike. The company is in an area subject to lightning strikes.

2. A company’s major supplier of raw materials experienced a prolonged strike. As a result, the company could not obtain the materials necessary to manufacture its product and had to write off €100,000 of inventory. This is the first time the company has incurred a loss due to raw material shortages. However, strikes are not unusual in the industry.

3. A company purchased machinery that cost €90,000 three years ago. The estimated useful life was 12 years, and the estimated residual value was €80,000. The straight-line method of depreciation has been used. At the end of the current year, the company’s accountant decided that the machine should be depreciated over a 16-year total life and the estimated residual value should be €10,000.

4. Six months into the fiscal year, a company decided to discontinue the operations of its retail division, which qualifies as an identifiable business segment. The division was sold three months before the end of the year for €312,000 cash. The book value of the assets of this division equalled €360,000. The division had a before tax operating loss of €40,000 for the current year to the date of sale.

5. During the year a company laid off five workers who no longer had the skills required to work for the company. In order to avoid a wrongful dismissal lawsuit, the company paid the employees €80,000 as severance pay. In turn, the employees agreed not to take any legal action against the company.

6. A company’s accountant failed to record depreciation expense on the company’s fleet of delivery vehicles for the last two years.

Page 10: sophiasapiens.chez.comsophiasapiens.chez.com/gestion/Financial-Accounting/…  · Web viewFinancial Accounting: ... o.How should the account receivable of an individual ... The price

7. A parcel of company land with a cost of €200,000 was expropriated by the local government for use in the construction of a new highway. The company received €500,000 for land.

Required1. Briefly define and describe the accounting treatment for each of the following:

i. Errorii. Change in accounting policyiii. Change in accounting estimateiv. Income or expenses not part of ordinary operationsv. Discontinued operations

2. For each situation described above state whether it would be found in the income statement, the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity or that it would not be found in either statement. In addition, state the specific classification that would be used if the item would be included in the income statement or the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

(8 marks for requirement 1; 14 marks for requirement 2. Of the 8 marks for requirement 1, 2 marks will be awarded for writing skills — that is, proper sentence structure, grammar, spelling, and so on.)

Question 2 (29 marks)Multiple choice (1 mark each)a. 3)

In accounting, revenue is recognized using the revenue principle and expenses are recognized using the matching principle.

b. 3)

The functional approach presents operating expenses based on their purpose within the organization.

c. 2)

The relocation is part of normal operations (however infrequent) and as such, this relocation would be shown as part of ongoing activities. Note that extraordinary items no longer exist according to IAS 1.

d. 2)

It may take some time after the decision is made until all assets are sold and the operations cease. Income from discontinued operations is disclosed separately from the initial disclosure event onwards.

e. 1)

The enterprise should have recorded depreciation for the two years. This would qualify as an error, which would be accounted for by an adjustment to opening retained earnings.

f. 4)

Page 13: sophiasapiens.chez.comsophiasapiens.chez.com/gestion/Financial-Accounting/…  · Web viewFinancial Accounting: ... o.How should the account receivable of an individual ... The price

Since the change relates to a building, depreciation expense will be adjusted over the remaining life of the building. Therefore income will be adjusted for the current and future years.

g. 1)

Changes in accounting policy are treated retroactively. Therefore, any change to prior years’ depreciation expense would be treated as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.

h. 3)

The loan receivable is in arrears; therefore it would be treated as a current asset because it is already past due.

i. 2)

The net asset form of preparing the balance sheet focuses on the accounting equation in the form A – L = OE.

j. 4)

The management discussion and analysis may make reference to future plans but this would not be contained in the notes to the financial statements.

k. 1)

The investment is an asset while the other items are all components of shareholders’ equity.

l. 4)

The sale of a division would represent a separate line of business.

m. 3)

The advance payment is in respect of goods that will be delivered with in six months; it therefore represents a current liability.

n. 1)

Changes in accounting estimates are included as a part of operating profit from normal activities and as such are not presented net of tax.

o. 1)

A credit balance in accounts receivable represents a liability to the customer.

(2 marks each)p. 3)

(€27,000 – €8,000) – €2,000 – (€10,000 – €3,000) + €7,000

q. 2)

Page 14: sophiasapiens.chez.comsophiasapiens.chez.com/gestion/Financial-Accounting/…  · Web viewFinancial Accounting: ... o.How should the account receivable of an individual ... The price

Items (i) and (iii) and (iv) are not clearly distinct from ordinary operations. However, one would not expect to be hit by a meteorite as a normal course of events. As such, it is the only item that should have separate disclosure — although items (i) and (iii) might if they are material.

r. 1)

[€10,800 – (€10,800/36 20)] (1 – 0.4)

s. 3)

– €40,000 + €50,000 – €30,000 + €80,000. The change in accounting estimate is only reflected in current and future earnings.

t. 1)

(€16,000 + €18,000 + €4,000) – €34,000

u. 2)

€1,000,000 + €760,000 + €250,000 – 50,000

v. 2)

(€80,000 – €60,000) 5 × 0.6. They would have to correct for the excess depreciation net of tax.

Question 4 (22 marks)Requirement 1 (8 marks)

i. Errors result from many sources including miscalculations, oversight, omissions, fraud, and misinterpretation or misapplication of accounting principles and methods. Errors must be given retroactive correction with restatement of prior period financial statements.

ii. Changes in accounting policy result from changes in the accounting treatment accorded transactions or events from one period to the next. Changes in accounting policy are given retroactive treatment with the restatement of prior period financial statements — as long as the change in policy will provide more relevant information.

iii. Changes in accounting estimates are part of the normal activity of a business and as such are given prospective treatment.

iv. Income or expenses that are unusual and material may occur infrequently, but essentially, they are related to normal business activity. These gains and losses are

included as part of income from operating activities but are may be given separate disclosure if they are material.

v. A discontinued operation is a separate component of an enterprise for which there is a formal plan of disposal. Separate disclosure is provided of operating income of the discontinued operation and any gain or loss realized as a result of the disposal of the operation.

Requirement 2 (14 marks)

1. The loss would be treated as an operating expense as part of profit from operating activities. The size of the loss may justify separate disclosure of the event in the income statement or the notes to the financial statements.

2. The loss would be treated as an operating expense as part of profit from operating activities. The size of the loss may justify separate disclosure in income statement or the notes to the financial statements.

3. The change in useful life and residual value of the machine are changes in estimates resulting from new information. The changes should be accounted for prospectively.

4. The operating loss for the year is disclosed separately, providing disclosure of revenues and expenses for the operation for the period. Separate disclosure is also provided of the loss on disposal of the operation.

5. The payment would be treated as an operating expense as part of profit from operating activities. The size of the expense may justify separate disclosure in income statement or the notes to the financial statements.

6. Failure to record depreciation represents an error which would result in retroactive correction to prior period financial statements.

7. The gain would likely be shown separately from ordinary activities in the income statement due to materiality.
