Parnell Company acquired construction equipment on January 1, 2017, at a cost of $75,200. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of five years and a residual value of $11,000 and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 1, 2018, the equipment was appraised and determined to have a fair value of $70,600, a salvage value of $11,000, and a remaining useful life of four years. In measuring property, plant, and equipment subsequent to acquisition under IFRS, Parnell would opt to use the revaluation model in IAS 16.

Assume that a U.S.–based company is issuing securities to foreign investors who require financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Thus, adjustments to convert from U.S. GAAP to IFRS must be made. Ignore income taxes.

Required:

  1. Prepare journal entries for this equipment for the years ending December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, under (1) U.S. GAAP and (2) IFRS.

  2. Prepare the entry(ies) that Parnell would make on the December 31, 2018 conversion worksheet to convert U.S. GAAP balances to IFRS.

Beta Inc. wants to construct a manufacturing plant in Brazil. The construction will cost 900 million Brazilian Real. Beta intends to operate the plant for 3 years. During the 3 years of operation, Real (BRL) cash flows are expected to be 300 million BRL, 300 million BRL, and 200 million BRL, respectively.

Operating cash flows will begin 1 year from today and are remitted back to the Canadian parent at the end of each year. At the end of the third year, beta expects to sell the plant for 500 million BRL.

Beta has a required rate of return of 17%. It currently takes 2.8743 BRL to buy 1 Canadian dollar, and the BRL is expected to depreciate by 5 percent per year.

A. Determine NPV of the project. Should Beta build the plant?

B. If the required rate of return is 12%, revised salvage value is 650 million BRL and BRL depreciates by 7.5% every year, what will be the new NPV?

Thomas Consultants provided Bran Construction with assistance in implementing various cost-savings initiatives

Thomas Consultants provided Bran Construction with assistance in implementing various cost-savings initiatives. Thomas’s contract specifies that it will receive a flat fee of $50,000 and an additional $20,000 if Bran reaches a prespecified target amount of cost savings. Thomas estimates that there is a 20% chance that Bran will achieve the cost-savings target. 

 

Required: 

1. Assuming Thomas uses the expected value as its estimate of variable consideration, calculate the transaction price. 

2. Assuming Thomas uses the most likely value as its estimate of variable consideration, calculate the transaction price. 

3. Assume Thomas uses the expected value as its estimate of variable consideration, but is very uncertain of that estimate due to a lack of experience with similar consulting arrangements. Calculate the transaction price.
