Question 1

a) Differentiate between the 'definition of assets' and the criteria for recognition of assets' provided in the conceptual framework.

b) If an asset is expensed in one financial year because future economic benefits were not deemed to be 'probable', can the same asset be reinstated in future periods if the benefits are subsequently assessed as probable? In this respect, does the ability to reinstate assets apply to all assets? Briefly explain.

c) AASB 101 stipulates a number of disclosures that many reporting entities are required to make. What specific disclosures are required by AASB 101 in relation to assets?

d) Is depreciation an allocation process or a valuation process? Provide reasons for your answer

e) In an article that appeared in The Australian Financial Review on 26 August 2011 ('Apple could easily flounder without its founder' by Mark Ritson), it was reported: The news that Steve Jobs has resigned from Apple and will be replaced as CEO by Tim Cook made global headlines yesterday What has followed since has been a frenzied discussion of what the loss of Jobs will mean for new product development timelines, share price issues and corporate culture. Apple's share price fell 5 per cent on the news of the resignation as questions were raised about Apple's prospects without its creative guru at the helm. But the real question for Apple as it enters its post-Jobs period is how well the brand will survive without the founder. Required The fact that the share prices fell following the departure of Steve Jobs is consistent with the view that Jobs was an 'asset' to the company. How do you think this 'asset' would have been disclosed in the financial statements of Apple?

f) What is a contingent asset? When should a contingent asset be disclosed within the notes to the financial statements? If something is initially disclosed as a contingent asset, when can it subsequently be recognised as an asset within the financial statements? Briefly explain.

Assume the tax rate for each company is 25% in all years. Any tax effects should be adjusted through the deferred tax liability account.

1. Fleming Home Products introduced a new line of commercial awnings in 2020 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 2% of sales. Sales of the awnings in 2020 were $2,900,000. Accordingly, warranty expense and a warranty liability of $58,000 were recorded in 2020. In late 2021, the company’s claims experience was evaluated, and it was determined that claims were far fewer than expected: 1% of sales rather than 2%. Sales of the awnings in 2021 were $3,400,000, and warranty expenditures in 2021 totaled $77,350.
2. On December 30, 2017, Rival Industries acquired its office building at a cost of $880,000. It was depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and no salvage value. However, plans were finalized in 2021 to relocate the company headquarters at the end of 2025. The vacated office building will have a salvage value at that time of $640,000.

Required:
For each situation:
1. Identify the type of change.
2. Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change, as well as any adjusting entry for 2021 related to the situation described.

Chapman Company obtains 100 percent of Abernethy Company’s stock on January 1, 2020. As of that date, Abernethy has the following trial balance:

During 2020, Abernethy reported net income of $80,000 while declaring and paying dividends of $10,000. During 2021, Abernethy reported net income of $110,000 while declaring and paying dividends of $30,000.

Assume that Chapman Company acquired Abernethy’s common stock for $500,000 in cash. Assume that the equipment and long-term liabilities had fair values of $220,000 and $120,000, respectively, on the acquisition date. Chapman uses the initial value method to account for its investment.

Prepare consolidation worksheet entries for December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Patricia, a CPA, is the new controller for a small construction company, Domingo Builders, that employs 75 people. The company specializes in custom homes greater than 3,500 square feet. The demand for large custom homes has significantly decreased because of the downturn in the economy. As a result of economic conditions their target market is dwindling, significantly affecting the company’s finances.

The ability to collect an outstanding receivable that is significant and material is in doubt. Prior to year-end Patricia discusses the outstanding receivable with the CEO. Patricia believes that the company owing the outstanding receivable will not last for another year. Patricia believes that the allowance for uncollectible accounts must be adjusted to a value that is reasonably realizable. The CEO disagrees.

The CEO is concerned that if the allowance adjustments are made, then Domingo will not look financially sound. Additionally, the CEO is concerned about the opinion that the auditor may provide as a result of the allowance adjustment. Anything less than a “clean opinion” would jeopardize Domingo’s ability to secure a much-needed bank loan. If the company cannot secure the loan next year, then Domingo might be out of business too.  

The CEO urges Patricia to ignore the allowance adjustment. After all, it is not certain that the outstanding receivable will be uncollectible; the company has not filed for bankruptcy. The CEO believes that Domingo can just weather the storm and will recover from the economic downturn. “I know business will pick up”.

Patricia reflects on what can be done. From her previous experience in public accounting, Patricia reflects on the audit process and information that she thinks the auditors would need to know.

McGuire Company acquired 90 percent of Hogan Company on January 1, 2019, for $234,000 cash. This amount is reflective of Hogan’s total acquisition-date fair value. Hogan's stockholders' equity consisted of common stock of $160,000 and retained earnings of $80,000. An analysis of Hogan's net assets revealed the following:

Any excess consideration transferred over fair value is attributable to an unamortized patent with a useful life of 5 years.

In consolidation at December 31, 2020, what net adjustment is necessary for Hogan's Patent account?

Yellowstone Mining Company had total depletable capitalized costs of $665,000 for a mine acquired in early 2019. It was estimated that the mine contained 950,000 tons of recoverable ore when production began. During 2019, 47,500 tons were mined, and 174,800 tons were mined in 2020. Required: 1. Compute the depletion expense in 2019 and 2020 for financial accounting purposes. 2-a. In 2019, 47,500 tons of ore were sold for $475,000. For tax purposes, operating expenses of the mine were $600,000. The taxpayer may deduct either cost depletion or percentage depletion, which for the type ore produced is 8 percent of production sold from the mine. (Assume, however, that percentage depletion is limited to the amount of net income from the property.) What would be the amount of percentage depletion allowable in 2019? 2-b. What would be the amount of cost depletion allowable for tax purposes in 2019, assuming that capitalized mineral costs are the same for tax purposes as for financial accounting purposes? 2-c. What will be the amount of depletion based on cost that the company could deduct on its tax return in 2020 if it deducts percentage depletion in 2019? 2-d. Suppose that in the first three years of the mine’s life, the company took percentage depletion totaling $820,000. In the fifth year of the mine’s life, production proceeds were $5,300,000. How much percentage depletion could the company deduct in the fifth year, considering allowable percentage depletion rate is 8%?

On January 1, 2017, Portland Company acquired all of Salem Company’s voting stock for $16,000,000 in cash. Some of Salem’s assets and liabilities at the date of purchase had fair values that differed from reported values, as follows:

Salem’s total shareholders’ equity at January 1, 2017, was $4,000,000. It is now December 31, 2020 (four years later). Salem’s retained earnings reflect the accumulation of net income less dividends; there have been no other changes in its retained earnings. Salem does not report any other comprehensive income. Cumulative goodwill impairment to the beginning of 2020 is $2,000,000. Goodwill impairment for 2020 is $500,000. Portland uses the complete equity method to account for its investment. The December 31, 2020, trial balance for Salem appears below.
