Question 1 [15 marks]
Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors
Blake Ltd is finalising its financial statements for the reporting period ending 30
June 2015. A number of unrelated scenarios still need to be considered and
accounted for before the financial statements are finalised:
a) The company has, in the past, always recognised a provision for warranties
equal to 5% of sales made during the year. Due to increasing warranty costs and
the number of goods returned under warranty, the directors would like to
increase the provision to 8% of sales made during the year. The provision for
warranties account currently has a balance of $12,000, which is the balance
carried forward from 30 June 2014. Sales for the year ended 30 June 2015
amounted to $460,000.
b) During the verification process for accounts payable, it was discovered that
an amount of $80,000, incurred in May 2015 and payable to a supplier for raw
materials, was recorded in the accounting records as $8,000. The $80,000 owing
at 30 June 2015 was paid in July 2015.
c) During the verification process for office equipment, it became apparent that
an item of office equipment that was thought to be on hand at 30 June 2014 had
actually been destroyed in April 2014. The item had a cost of $40,000 and
accumulated depreciation of $24,000. No depreciation has been calculated or
recorded as yet for the year ended 30 June 2015.
d) During the verification process for accounts receivable, it was discovered
that the sales manager had undertaken fraudulent activity – raising fake sales
invoices in June 2015. The motivation of the manager was to ensure that his
sales targets were met, so that he was eligible for his performance bonus. The
fake sales invoices amounted to $122,000, with this entire amount included in
the accounts receivable balance at 30 June 2015.
e) On 1 July 2014, the directors revised the useful life of its building (acquired
2 years earlier on 1 July 2012 for $600,000, with an estimated useful life of 20
years and residual value of nil on this date). On 1 July 2014, the remaining
useful life was estimated to be 30 years. The building has been depreciated
using the straight-line method over its useful life. No depreciation has been
calculated or recorded as yet for the year ended 30 June 2015.
Assume all amounts are material for financial statement purposes.
Required:
With reference to AASB 108, explain whether each of the above scenarios is a
change in accounting estimate or an error. State the appropriate accounting
treatment (including any journal entries needed) for each scenario in the 2015
financial statements.

Question 2 [15 marks]
Accounting for share capital
On 1 April 2015, Sage Ltd was registered and issued a prospectus inviting
applications for 2,000,000 shares, at an issue price of $3.50, payable as follows:
$1.00 on application
$1.50 on allotment
$0.50 on first call
$0.50 on final call
By 30 April, applications had been received for 2,100,000 shares. At the
directors' meeting on 3 May, it was decided to allot shares to the applicants in
proportion to the number of shares for which applications had been made. The
surplus application money was offset against the amount payable on allotment.
All outstanding allotment money was received by 10 May. Legal costs re

company formation were $7,000 and were paid on 11 May. Share issue costs of
$3,000 were also paid on the same date.
The first call was made on 1 September 2015, with money due by 30 September
2015. The final call was made on 2 January 2016, with money due by 31
January 2016. All money owing in relation to the two calls was received by the
due dates except for the holders of 100,000 shares who did not pay either call,
and the holder of another 20,000 shares who did not pay the second call. On 10
March 2016, as provided in the company's constitution, the directors forfeited
these 120,000 shares.
On 25 March 2016, the forfeited shares were reissued as fully paid for a
consideration of $2.80 per share. Costs of forfeiture and reissue amounted to
$4,000, and were paid. The constitution allowed for the refund of any balance in
the forfeited shares account after reissue to former shareholders, so refunds
were made on 28 March 2016.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries to record the transactions of Sage Ltd up to and
including that which took place on 28 March 2016. Show all relevant dates,
narrations and workings.

Question 4 [15 marks]
Property, plant and equipment
Walkie Ltd acquires a new motor vehicle on 1 July 2013 for $90,000. The
motor vehicle is expected to have a useful life of six years, and has an estimated
residual value of $10,000. The straight-line method of depreciation is used.
On 1 July 2014, the directors of Walkie Ltd decide to adopt the revaluation
model for motor vehicles. The motor vehicle is revalued to $85,000 and its
7
useful life is reassessed: it is expected, at that date, to have a remaining useful
life of nine years. The estimated residual value remains unchanged at $10,000.
On 30 June 2015, the motor vehicle is revalued to $52,000. On this date, the
directors determine that the useful life and residual value does not need to be
reassessed.
On 30 June 2016, it is determined that the fair value of the motor vehicle does
not differ materially from its carrying amount. It is also determined that the
useful life and residual value does not need to be reassessed.
On 1 January 2017 it is unexpectedly sold for $45,000.
Required:
Prepare journal entries for Walkie Ltd between 1 July 2013 and 1 January 2017
to record the above. Show narrations and all relevant workings. Assume a tax
rate of 30%.

Question 5 [15 marks]
Impairment of assets
Jack Ltd has a division that represents a separate cash generating unit. At 30
June 2015, the carrying amounts of the assets of the division, valued pursuant to
the cost model, are as follows:
Assets: $
Cash 42,000
Plant and equipment 600,000
Less: accumulated depreciation (120,000)
Land 800,000
Inventory 90,000
Accounts receivable 27,000
Patent 150,000
Goodwill 10,000
Carrying amount of cash generating unit 1,599,000
The receivables were regarded as collectable, and the inventory's fair value less
costs to sell was equal to its carrying amount. The patent has a fair value less
costs to sell of $140,000, and the land has a fair value less costs to sell of
$825,000.
The directors of Jack estimate that, at 30 June 2015, the fair value less costs to
sell of the division amounts to $1,500,000, while the value in use of the division
is $1,560,000.
As a result, management increased the depreciation of the plant and equipment
from $40,000 p.a. to $45,000 for the year ended 30 June 2016.
By 30 June 2016, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was
calculated to be $55,000 greater than the carrying amount of the assets of the
unit.
Required:
Determine how Jack Ltd should account for the results of the impairment test at
30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016, and prepare any necessary journal entries.
Show all workings and provide references to the relevant accounting standard to
support your answer.
