On January 4, 2018, Runyan Bakery paid $324 million for 10 million shares of Lavery Labeling Company common stock. The investment represents a 30% interest in the net assets of Lavery and gave Runyan the ability to excercise significant influence over Lavery's operations. Runyan chose the fair value option to account for this investment. Runyan received dividends of $2.00 per share on December 31, 2018, and Lavery reported net income of $160 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The market value of Lavery's common stock at December 31, 2018 was $31 per share. On the purchase date, the book value of Lavery's net assets was $800 million and:
a. The fair value of Lavery's depreciable assets, with an average remaining useful life of six years, exceeded their book value by $80 million.
b. The remainder of the excess of the cost of the investment over the book value of net assets purchased was attributable to goodwill.
Required:
1-a. Prepare all appropriate journal entries related to the investment during 2018, assuming Runyan accounts for this investment under fair value option, and accounts for the Lavery investment in a manner similar to what it would use for securities for which there is not specific influence.
1-b Calculate the effect of these journal entries on 2018 net income, and the amount at which the investment is carried in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.
2-a Prepare all appropriate journal entries related to the investment during 2018, assuming Runyan accounts for this investment under the fair value option, but uses equity method accounting to account for Lavery's income and dividends, and then records a fair value adjustment at the end of the year that allows it to comply with GAAP.
2-b Calculate the effect of these journal entries on 2018 net income, and the amount at which the investment is carried in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.

The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) often is based on the clinical effects of dopamine deficiency and the development of a motor disorder. However, the so-called “non-motor” features may develop before any motor signs. Discuss and explain what the non-motor features are, how they arise, what organs, cells and molecules may be involved and if the non-motor features can be used as biomarkers for PD. How are the nonmotor features related (connected) to the motor features of PD?

Research has shown that 70% of new Small Medium Enterprises
(SMEs) are started by graduates while 30% are started by
non-graduates. It is also known that 60% of SMEs started by
graduates are successful i.e. they survive beyond 3 years, while
only 20% of those started by non-graduates are successful.
a) If it is known that a new SME has failed, what is the
probability that it was started by a non-graduate? [6]
b) What is the probability that a new SME will be successful? [4

The company provides a reconciliation of the $5.66 EPS figures to the income statement’s reported EPS figure of $8.78. Also referred to as “Core EPS” in a PepsiCo-related press release, this figure, $5.66, is a non-GAAP financial measure many companies choose to report. What does a non-GAAP financial measure mean? What does the terminology “core” suggest to you? What is the reason that many companies provide non-GAAP financial information in their financial reports?

You have been conducting an audit of the financial reports of Rainbow Forest Ltd (Rainbow Forest). Rainbow Forest Ltd is a publishing company, specialising in books and other promotional material for special industry sectors and professional bodies. Over the last three years Rainbow Forest has been experiencing difficult trading conditions resulting in operating losses and deferred dividends. In particular, Rainbow Forest has had difficulty managing its cash flow. Book sales are down on the prior year and longstanding customers are no longer making bulk purchases, but instead they are producing e-books which are emailed to members on the mailing list. Whilst Rainbow Forest can still provide online technical support services and web design advice, they have lost a major source of revenue and 20% of employees have been made redundant. You have been told by different sources that Senior Management is under a lot of pressure to turn this difficult situation around and improve both sales and profitability. You note that some of the reports you have been provided are either incomplete or are not consistent with what you have been told. Based on your initial understanding of the entity and its environment, you have concluded that Rainbow Forest Ltd is a going concern risk.

Dreamtime Jewellers Limited (DJL) is a small network of jewellery stores and DJL is considering building a new store. The new store costs $2.5 million and managers plan to partly fund the store with a $1 million five-year bank loan.
In addition, DJL must spend $150,000 on excavation before they build the new store. Because this expense will reduce the new store’s profitability, managers have suggested that the excavation expense be spread out equally over the five-year analysis period.
The ATO states that excavation qualifies as a business expense in the year incurred. DJL has already spent $100,000 conducting market research to determine the most lucrative location for a new store.
If the directors approve the new store DJL anticipates that it will require an additional $400,000 of inventory today on top of the existing level of $1.5 million, and accounts payable will increase by $270,000. The accounts receivable balance will increase from the current level of $5.4 million to $6.2 million if the new store proceeds.
DJL must dispose of $120,000 of redundant jewellery equipment today if the new store is approved. The equipment initially cost $300,000 four years ago and is fully depreciated for tax purposes. Assume the company tax rate is 30%.
