QUESTION 1c

Q C) In the context of IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets), outline the necessary accounting treatment of the machine given the above information.
Note: The present value interest factor of an annuity of Sh1 per year at 9% for 3 years is 2.5313. (4 marks)

A

Solution

Carrying amount of the machine ➫ 10,000,000 - 2,500,000 = 7,500,000.

Recoverable amount is the higher of:
(i) Fair value - Cost of sale ➫ 1,000,000 - 100,000 = 900,000

(ii) Value in use ➫ 3,000,000 x 2.5313 = 7,593,900.

⁂Recoverable amount = 7,593,900.

The recoverable amount of the machine is higher than carrying amount therefore, an impairment should not be recognized on the machine.

Discontinuing operations	(970)	(200)

Notes
As retail operations appear to meet the criteria of IFRS 5 to be classified as discontinued operations, continuing operations should be separated in the income statement.

The building appears to meet the criteria of IFRS 5 to be classified as held for sale and should therefore be recorded at fair value less costs to sell, with a loss recognized in gain or loss on transfer. This amount of 280 million shillings (2000-1720) is included in losses from discontinued operations.

Other expected closing costs should be deferred as the IAS 37 conditions for recognition of restructuring costs appear to have been achieved.

QUESTION 5a

Q Demonstrate how the bond issue should be accounted for in the books of Dodoma Ltd. for the year ended 31 December 2019. (10 marks)

A

Solution

According to IFRS 8, amortized cost model, financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the cash received. All expenses directly attributable to the issuance of bonds are offset against the carrying amount of the debt.

Therefore, at initial recognition the bond should be measured at:

Fair value of consideration received	95,000,000
Less:Transaction cost	(1,800,000)
Carrying amount	93,200,000

Debt Amortization Schedule
Period	Bal b/d	Effective Interest Expense	Coupon Interest Payment	Bal c/d
1	93,200,000	7,101,840	(5,000,000)	95,301,840
2	95,301,840	7,262,000	(5,000,000)	97,563,840
3	97,563,840	7,434,365	(5,000,000)	100,000,000

1,000,000 x 100 = 100,000,000

The correct accounting treatment therefore should be.

Winding up effect ➫ 7,101,840 - 5,000,000 = 2,101,840.
