Question 1

During the year to 31 December 2013, Acacia Mining Ltd built a new mining facility to take advantage of new laws regarding on-shore gas extraction. The construction of the facility cost K10 million, and to fund this, Acacia Mining Ltd took out a K10 million 6% loan on 1 January 2013, which will not be repaid until 2016. The 6% interest was paid on 31 December 2013. Construction work begun on 1st January 2013, and the work was completed on 30 November 2013. As not all funds were required immediately, Acacia Mining Ltd invested K3 million of the loan in 4% bonds from 1 January 2013 until 30 April 2013. Mining commenced on 1 December 2013 and is expected to continue for 10 years. As a condition of being allowed to construct the facility, Acacia Mining Ltd is required by law to dismantle it on 1 January 2024. Acacia Mining Ltd estimated that this would cost a further K3 million. As the equipment is extremely specialized, Acacia Mining Ltd invested significant resources in recruiting and training employees. Acacia Mining Ltd spent K600,000 on thus process in the year to 31 December 2013, believing it to be worthwhile as it anticipates that most employees will remain on the project for the entire 10 year duration. Acacia Mining Ltd has a cost of capital of 6%.

Required: Show, using extracts, the correct financial reporting treatment for the above items in financial statements for Acacia Mining Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2013.
