Before her death, Lucy entered into the following transactions. Discuss the estate and income tax ramifications of each of these transactions.
A. Lucy borrowed $600,000 from her brother, Irwin, so that Lucy could start a business. The loan was on open account, and no interest or due date was provided for. Under applicable state law, collection on the loan was barred by the statute of limitations before Lucy died. Because the family thought that Irwin should recover his funds, the executor of the estate paid him $600,000.
B. Lucy promised her sister, Ida, a bequest of $500,000 if Ida would move in with her and care for her during an illness (which eventually proved to be terminal). Lucy never kept her promise, as her will was silent on any bequest to Ida. After Lucy’s death, Ida sued the estate and eventually recovered $600,000 for breach of contract.
C. Before her death, Lucy incurred and paid certain medical expenses but did not have the opportunity to file a claim for recovery from her insurance company. After her death, the claim was filed by Lucy’s executor, and the reimbursement was paid to the estate.

A mass m = 13 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =7.4 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incline that makes an angle θ = 32° with the horizontal and has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.31. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 32° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T =59 N.
What is the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline? (On the horizontal surface.)
What is the speed of the block right before it begins to travel up the incline?
What is the work done by friction after the block has traveled a distance x = 4.1 m up the incline? (Where x is measured along the incline.)
What is the work done by gravity after the block has traveled a distance x = 4.1 m up the incline? (Where x is measured along the incline.)
How far up the incline does the block travel before coming to rest? (Measured along the incline.)
On the incline the net work done on the block is:
positive
negative
zero

An interesting and popular hypothesis is that individuals can temporarily postpone death to survive a major holiday or important event such as a birthday. In a study, it was found that there were 6062 deaths in the week before Thanksgiving, and 5938 deaths the week after Thanksgiving (based on data from “Holidays, Birthdays, and Postponement of Cancer Death,” by Young and Hade, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 292, No. 24).
(a) If people can postpone death until after Thanksgiving, then the proportion of deaths in the week before should be less than 50%. By hand, use the p-value method and a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of deaths in the week before Thanksgiving is less than 50%. Use excel to confirm the p-value you found. Hint: the command =norm.s.dist(test statistic, true) finds the left tail probability for z. (b) Based on the result, does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone death to survive the Thanksgiving holiday? (c) Suppose the hypothesis test in a) was to find if the proportion is different from 50%; redo the hypothesis test by hand using the p-value method and compare the results. Confirm your p-value using excel.

In relation to the statement of financial position, where AASB 101 requires entities to disclose further sub-classifications of the minimum line items on the face of the statement or in the notes, the directors of Protek Ltd want to report only the minimum line items on the face of the statement, and leave the sub-classifications to be disclosed in the notes.
Part A
As the accountant for the entity, prepare the following statements of Protek Ltd the year ended 30 June 2020 in accordance with AASB101:
Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income;
Statement of financial position; and
Statement of changes in equity.
In preparing the above statements, you should use the line items that a listed company is likely to use and refer to paragraphs 54, 82, 82A and 106 of AASB 101 in determining the line items to be presented. Show all workings to support your figures presented in the statements. Disclosure notes and comparative figures are not required.
Note: In preparing the statements for Part A, you should consider only information given in this part and ignore information given in Part B below.
Part B
The following events occurred after the preparation of statements was completed in Part A above.
Event 1
The directors have asked you to review the doubtful debts allowance due to the high level of bad debts expense that occurred during the year. The allowance is currently measured based on 4% of trade debtors’ balances following the advice of Jane, who is one of the directors. After reviewing industry averages, you have advised the directors that the allowances should be revised to 8% of the trade debtors’ balances and the directors agreed to your proposal and adopt the new basis from 1 July 2019. This change is considered material in Protek Ltd’s case.
Required:
State if the above situation would constitute a change in accounting policy or a change in accounting estimate. Explain and support your answers by making reference to relevant paragraphs in AASB108.
Prepare necessary adjusting entries and/or notes disclosures required to account for the change in the doubtful debt allowance for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Event 2
Protek Ltd stored its masks in rented warehouses located in several locations. One of the warehouses in Orange was destroyed by bushfires on 29 July 2020. From the accounting records, there were 8,000 boxes of N95 masks stored in that warehouse, with cost of inventories valued at $120,000. Unfortunately, there was no insurance policy acquired to cover this loss and the loss is considered material for Protek Ltd.
The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were authorised for issue by the directors on 28 August 2020.
Required:
Classify the above event as either an adjusting or non-adjusting event after the end of the reporting period. Justify your answer by making reference to AASB110.
Consistent with your answer to (i) above, prepare any journal entries and/or note disclosures required to comply with the requirements of AASB110.
