A company operates a solar installation in the desert in Western Australia. It is reviewing its operating practices with a view to making them more efficient
. a) The solar installation generates electric power from sunlight and incurs operating costs for cleaning the solar modules (sometimes called solar panels) and replacing solar modules that have failed. The annual revenue from the electric power is variable due to variable cloudiness and solar module failure and has a mean of $2.78m and a standard deviation of $0.32m. The annual operating costs have a mean of $0.51m and a standard deviation of $0.12m. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the annual profit = annual revenue – annual operating costs.
b) Expected revenue varies systematically from one month to another, being higher in the summer when there is more sunshine. Monthly operating costs follow the same probability model regardless of the month (same mean and standard deviation apply to all months). Calculate, if possible, the mean and standard deviation of (i) monthly operating costs (ii) monthly profits. If a calculation is not possible, give the reason.
c) The solar installation is located in the desert 100 km from the nearest office of the company that operates it and the company sends a maintenance crew out quarterly (once every 3 months) to clean dust and sand off the solar modules and check for mechanical or electrical problems. Each solar module is also monitored electronically over the Internet so that the operating company is alerted immediately when a solar module fails. On average 1.3 modules fail per month and the maintenance crew replaces any failed modules on their quarterly visits. Module failures are independent of each other and occur at random. The loss of a few solar modules does not impact revenue enough to justify the cost of sending the maintenance crew before the next quarterly visit. However the operating company decides that if more than 7 modules have failed they should send the maintenance crew out immediately to replace the failed modules. What is the probability of the maintenance crew having to go to the solar installation before the end of the regular 3-month period?
d) If 8 modules fail, the maintenance crew loads 9 replacement modules into their truck in case one is smashed during the 100 km drive, much of which is over uneven dirt tracks through the desert. Past experience shows that the probability of any individual module being smashed on this journey is 0.043. The operations manager wants the probability that the crew arrives with less than 8 working modules to be < 0.05. How many replacement modules should the maintenance crew load into their truck so as to achieve this objective? Answer this question, stating your assumptions clearly, and comment on whether the assumptions are likely to be true.
e) The solar modules are covered by a 25-year warranty which covers the cost of the replacement module itself but not the cost of driving 100 km and installing it. The operating company plans on visiting the site only once every 3 months and is therefore considering purchasing “business continuity insurance” which would cover the loss of revenue from failed solar modules for an annual premium of $5000. In order to decide whether it is worth paying this premium the company needs to calculate its expected revenue loss from failed modules. The average loss of revenue from one failed module is $200 per month. If one module fails during a 3-month period, we assume it fails in the middle of that period so that it has failed for a total of 1.5 months and the loss of revenue is 1.5*200 = $300. We make similar assumptions if 2,3,4, … modules fail during the 3 month period. Considering the probabilities of 0,1,2, …,10 modules failing during a 3-month period, what is the expected revenue loss during a 3-month period? Based on this expected loss, should the company purchase business continuity insurance?

Santana Rey created Business Solutions on October 1, 2019. The
company has been successful, and its list of customers has grown.
To accommodate the growth, the accounting system is modified to set
up separate accounts for each customer. The following chart of
accounts includes the account number used for each account and any
balance as of December 31, 2019. Santana Rey decided to add a
fourth digit with a decimal point to the 106 account number that
had been used for the single Accounts Receivable account. This
change allows the company to continue using the existing chart of

Metropolitan Hydro (MH) is a private company that owns and operates all of the province's electricity generation and transmission systems. It is deciding whether it should follow IFRS or ASPE in the upcoming year. The company must choose now and is looking to analyze the impact of following IFRS or ASPE. Each year, MH must prepare and submit audited financial statements to the government. The company generates and sells electricity to residential and commercial customers. It is committed to the following: Identifying and providing innovative solutions that will improve the reliability and efficiency of electrical delivery Sustainability (including not only profitability but also environmental sustainability)—in this regard, MH has a publicly available environmental policy against which the company is measured by the government The company has just finished a new project to install smart meters in all residential houses. The meters allow residents to track usage and power supply and demand. Each meter is very expensive and will likely become technologically obsolete in three years. MH decided to pursue this strategy nonetheless due to its commitment to sustainability. The company wants all customers to think about using electricity wisely and the meters help with this. The company generally requires a security deposit (amounting to the cost of the meter) when a customer signs up to receive electricity or when the meter is first installed. The value of the meter declines over time and after three years it is worthless. If customers cancel their electricity delivery contract early, they get the full amount back once they return their meters. Otherwise, at the end of three years, MH retains the security deposit and has no obligation to return the cash. MH is rate-regulated. This means that it must ask for government approval whenever it wants to raise the rates that it charges for electricity. Generally, the government allows the company to recover all costs incurred in generating the electricity plus a reasonable profit margin. Therefore, rates are set as being equal to “cost plus reasonable profit margin.” This means that, once approved, the company is able to charge revenues equal to all costs incurred plus a reasonable profit. Under ASPE, special “rate-regulated accounting” exists. One of the features of this special accounting is that companies following rate-regulated accounting are able to defer any losses that are incurred on disposition of assets, on the basis that they can recover these losses from future revenues. IFRS does not allow this. Sometimes MH signs supply contract agreements with other suppliers of electricity to ensure that power supplies to MH customers are not disrupted. Under the terms of these contracts, MH locks in the quantity and price of electricity. However, the contracts do not explicitly include net settlement provisions. Because electricity is a commodity, the contracts may be bought and sold on the regional commodities exchange. MH is concerned about maintaining a consistent supply of electricity to its customers, since many of its generating stations are getting very old and the incidence of breakdown and generating station closures due to the age of the equipment is increasing. There is no market for these old generating stations (and MH would probably replace the capacity with newer, greener forms of electricity, such as wind or solar). Often the land that these stations are sitting on is polluted with chemicals. Technically, since this pollution occurred many years ago in most cases, there are no laws in place to force cleanup. Currently, the company is doing a voluntary land assessment and remediation program to identify the extent of this pollution. The company expects that it would recover all of the cleanup costs it might incur from future revenues through increased customer rates. However, there is always the chance that future governments might change the ability to build these costs into the rates charged to customers. Some of the generating stations are located on lands held by First Nations. The company is negotiating to obtain legal title to the lands but understands that it may have to relocate the assets. The assets in question are material. MH obtains much of its financing through bonds and commercial paper issuances. Therefore, it is important that it retain its good credit ratings. Currently, it has a very good credit rating, awarded by both S&P and Moody's credit rating agencies. This good rating helps keep costs (and therefore customer rates) down. There are debt covenants in the debt agreements that limit the amount of debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total assets). Debt may not exceed 75% of total assets under these covenants. (Currently, the actual debt to total assets ratio is 65%.) Instructions Assume the role of an accounting consultant hired to determine which set of accounting standards to follow. Discuss the financial reporting issues relating to the above. Use the case analysis framework presented in the Case Primer, including an overview, analysis, and recommendations.
