(a) IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors contains guidance on the use of accounting policies and accounting estimates.

(b) The directors of Tunshill are disappointed by the draft profi t for the year ended 30 September 2010. The company’s assistant accountant has suggested two areas where she believes the reported profi t may be improved:

(i) A major item of plant that cost $20 million to purchase and install on 1 October 2007 is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a fi ve-year period (assuming no residual value). The plant is wearing well and at the beginning of the current year (1 October 2009) the production manager believed that the plant was likely to last eight years in total (i.e. from the date of its purchase). The assistant accountant has calculated that, based on an eight-year life (and no residual value) the accumulated depreciation of the plant at 30 September 2010 would be $7·5 million ($20 million/8 years x 3). In the fi nancial statements for the year ended 30 September 2009, the accumulated depreciation was $8 million ($20 million/5 years x 2). Therefore, by adopting an eight-year life, Tunshill can avoid a depreciation charge in the current year and instead credit $0·5 million ($8 million – $7·5 million) to the income statement in the current year to improve the reported profi t. (5 marks)

(ii) Most of Tunshill’s competitors value their inventory using the average cost (AVCO) basis, whereas Tunshill uses the fi rst in fi rst out (FIFO) basis. The value of Tunshill’s inventory at 30 September 2010 (on the FIFO basis) is $20 million, however on the AVCO basis it would be valued at $18 million. By adopting the same method (AVCO) as its competitors, the assistant accountant says the company would improve its profi t for the year ended 30 September 2010 by $2 million. Tunshill’s inventory at 30 September 2009 was reported as $15 million, however on the AVCO basis it would have been reported as $13·4 million. (5 marks)

Required:

Comment on the acceptability of the assistant accountant’s suggestions and quantify how they would affect the fi nancial statements if they were implemented under IFRS. Ignore taxation.

Note: the mark allocation is shown against each of the two items above.

(b) The following items have arisen during the preparation of Borough’s draft financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2011:

(i) On 1 October 2010, Borough commenced the extraction of crude oil from a new well on the seabed. The cost of a 10-year licence to extract the oil was $50 million. At the end of the extraction, although not legally bound to do so, Borough intends to make good the damage the extraction has caused to the seabed environment. This intention has been communicated to parties external to Borough. The cost of this will be in two parts: a fixed amount of $20 million and a variable amount of 2 cents per barrel extracted. Both of these amounts are based on their present values as at 1 October 2010 (discounted at 8%) of the estimated costs in 10 years’ time. In the year to 30 September 2011 Borough extracted 150 million barrels of oil.

(ii) Borough owns the whole of the equity share capital of its subsidiary Hamlet. Hamlet’s statement of financial position includes a loan of $25 million that is repayable in five years’ time. $15 million of this loan is secured on Hamlet’s property and the remaining $10 million is guaranteed by Borough in the event of a default by Hamlet. The economy in which Hamlet operates is currently experiencing a deep recession, the effects of which are that the current value of its property is estimated at $12 million and there are concerns over whether Hamlet can survive the recession and therefore repay the loan.

Required:

Describe, and quantify where possible, how items (i) and (ii) above should be treated in Borough’s statement of financial position for the year ended 30 September 2011.

In the case of item (ii) only, distinguish between Borough’s entity and consolidated financial statements and refer to any disclosure notes. Your answer should only refer to the treatment of the loan and should not consider any impairment of Hamlet’s property or Borough’s investment in Hamlet.

Note: the treatment in the income statement is NOT required for any of the items.

The following mark allocation is provided as guidance for this requirement:

(i) 5 marks

(ii) 4 marks

The following scenario relates to questions 1–5.

Adana died on 17 March 2016, and inheritance tax (IHT) of ￡566,000 is payable in respect of her chargeable estate. Under the terms of her will, Adana left her entire estate to her children.

At the date of her death, Adana had the following debts and liabilities:

(1) An outstanding interest-only mortgage of ￡220,000.

(2) Income tax of ￡43,700 payable in respect of the tax year 2015–16.

(3) Legal fees of ￡4,600 incurred by Adana’s sister which Adana had verbally promised to pay.

On 22 April 2006, Adana had made a chargeable lifetime transfer of shares valued at ￡500,000 to a trust. Adana paid the lifetime IHT of ￡52,250 arising from this gift. If Adana had not made this gift, her chargeable estate at the time of her death would have been ￡650,000 higher than it otherwise was. This was because of the subsequent increase in the value of the gifted shares.

C.The personal representatives of Adana’s estate on 30 September 2016

D.The personal representatives of Adana’s estate on 17 September 2016

B.￡207,750

C.￡147,750

D.￡200,000

How much of the IHT payable in respect of Adana’s estate would have been saved if, under the terms of her will, Adana had made specific gifts of ￡400,000 to a trust and ￡200,000 to her grandchildren, instead of leaving her entire estate to her children？A.￡240,000

B.￡160,000
