(a) Kayte operates in the shipping industry and owns vessels for transportation. In June 2014, Kayte acquired Ceemone whose assets were entirely investments in small companies. The small companies each owned and operated one or two shipping vessels. There were no employees in Ceemone or the small companies. At the acquisition date, there were only limited activities related to managing the small companies as most activities were outsourced. All the personnel in Ceemone were employed by a separate management company. The companies owning the vessels had an agreement with the management company concerning assistance with chartering, purchase and sale of vessels and any technical management. The management company used a shipbroker to assist with some of these tasks.
Kayte accounted for the investment in Ceemone as an asset acquisition. The consideration paid and related transaction costs were recognised as the acquisition price of the vessels. Kayte argued that the vessels were only passive investments and that Ceemone did not own a business consisting of processes, since all activities regarding commercial and technical management were outsourced to the management company. As a result, the acquisition was accounted for as if the vessels were acquired on a stand-alone basis.
Additionally, Kayte had borrowed heavily to purchase some vessels and was struggling to meet its debt obligations. Kayte had sold some of these vessels but in some cases, the bank did not wish Kayte to sell the vessel. In these cases, the vessel was transferred to a new entity, in which the bank retained a variable interest based upon the level of the indebtedness. Kayte’s directors felt that the entity was a subsidiary of the bank and are uncertain as to whether they have complied with the requirements of IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements as regards the above transactions. (12 marks)
(b) Kayte’s vessels constitute a material part of its total assets. The economic life of the vessels is estimated to be 30 years, but the useful life of some of the vessels is only 10 years because Kayte’s policy is to sell these vessels when they are 10 years old. Kayte estimated the residual value of these vessels at sale to be half of acquisition cost and this value was assumed to be constant during their useful life. Kayte argued that the estimates of residual value used were conservative in view of an immature market with a high degree of uncertainty and presented documentation which indicated some vessels were being sold for a price considerably above carrying value. Broker valuations of the residual value were considerably higher than those used by Kayte. Kayte argued against broker valuations on the grounds that it would result in greater volatility in reporting.
Kayte keeps some of the vessels for the whole 30 years and these vessels are required to undergo an engine overhaul in dry dock every 10 years to restore their service potential, hence the reason why some of the vessels are sold. The residual value of the vessels kept for 30 years is based upon the steel value of the vessel at the end of its economic life. At the time of purchase, the service potential which will be required to be restored by the engine overhaul is measured based on the cost as if it had been performed at the time of the purchase of the vessel. In the current period, one of the vessels had to have its engine totally replaced after only eight years. Normally, engines last for the 30-year economic life if overhauled every 10 years. Additionally, one type of vessel was having its funnels replaced after 15 years but the funnels had not been depreciated separately. (11 marks)

Discuss the accounting treatment of the above transactions in the financial statements of Kayte.

Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in
rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near
their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and
Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities'
(5) outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within
the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before
the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration,
for example, in the interplay of black and other giazes with the red surface of the fired pot.
Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather
(10) than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.; its distinctive color and luster
were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln's temperature during an extended
three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters
who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were
usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized the they
(15) did not share in the concerns of the other.
The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to
Confine themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage
Jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C.
Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine
(20) ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of
pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create
particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for
other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to
facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted
(25) pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means-as numerous featureless statuettes and
unattractive cases testify.
The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its
A.production techniques
B.similarity to other crafts
C.unusual materials
D.resemblance to earlier pottery
