Equity Method and Eliminating Entries, First Year
On January 1, 2020, Playtel Inc. acquired all of the stock of San Jose Cable for $250 million in cash. At the date of acquisition, Playtel’s shareholders’ equity accounts were as follows (in thousands):
| Common stock, $1 par | $5,000 |
| Additional paid-in capital | 25,000 |
| Retained deficit | (1,000) |
| Treasury stock | (800) |
| Total | $28,200 |
Both companies have a December 31 year-end. At the date of acquisition, San Jose’s reported net assets had book values approximating fair value. However, it had previously unreported indefinite-life identifiable intangibles valued at $50 million, meeting ASC Topic 805 requirements for capitalization. Impairment losses in 2020 for identifiable intangibles were $1 million. Goodwill from this acquisition was not impaired in 2020. San Jose reported net income of $4 million in 2020, and paid no dividends. Playtel uses the complete equity method to report its investment in San Jose on its own books.

During the year ended 30 June 2020, Starhub Ltd acquired the following investments in shares issued by other companies:
|
M3 Ltd |
$480 000 (42% of issued capital) |
|
Republic Ltd |
$680 000 (35% of issued capital) |
Starhub Ltd is unsure how to account for these investments and asked you for some professional advice.
Specifically, Starhub Ltd is concerned that it may need to prepare consolidated financial statements under AASB 10. The company provided the following information about the two investee companies:
M3 Ltd
The remaining shares in M3 Ltd are owned by:
o two sisters who hold 10% of shares respectively and
o a diverse group of investors who each hold a small parcel of
shares.
Historically, only a small number of the shareholders attend the general meetings or question the actions of the directors.
Starhub Ltd has nominated three new directors and expects that they will be appointed at the next annual general meeting. The current board of directors has five members, out of which three are retiring at the next annual general meeting.
Republic Ltd
The remaining shares in Republic Ltd are owned by:
o M3 Ltd which owns 20% of the shares,
o Pontes Ltd which owns 20% of the shares and
o a diverse group of investors who each own a small parcel of
shares.
The shareholders take a keen interest in the running of the company and attend all meetings.
Two of the other shareholders, including M3 Ltd, already have representatives on the board of directors who have indicated their intention of nominating for re-election.
QUESTION:
Advise Starhub Ltd as to whether, under AASB 10, it controls M3 Ltd and/or Republic Ltd. Support your conclusion.

Pretend that you are at a cocktail party talking to the CEO of a small company who has a minimal understanding of accounting. She learns that you are a CPA, buys you a beverage (adult-type if that is your preference), and engages you in conversation. She explains that her company is acting as the general contractor for the construction of its own manufacturing plant. She's been advised that the company must "capitalize interest" in connection with the project. She has no idea what that means. She's concerned that this will cost her company money. Explain the concept, the reasoning behind it, and potential advantages to the company from this entirely appropriate accounting. Remember, she is a knowledgeable business person, but not as well versed in accounting as she would like to be. Your explanation should be careful not to assume that she understands much accounting jargon.
Confidential note: She's seeking out every CPA she can find. The one who provides the best answer will be her new accountant!! If you want the business, (and the full 10 points), you might want to subtly and professionally "supplement" the responses of your competition. However, don't be a jerk...nobody likes a jerk :)
It's ok to have a little fun here, just make sure to be respectful of your classmates! Your score will be based upon the substance of your response, but if I'm entertained a little, I don't see how that could hurt.

You are the CEO of a company that has a choice of making a $500 million investment in either Ethiopia or Venezuela. The profits you can expect to make would be the same in both locations, so your choice will depend on your assessment of the political risks in each country. Do some research to assess the various risks of doing business in either county. Which one would you choose and why?
