The directors of a company are considering the company’s draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
The following material points are unsolved:
a. From past experience, the management estimated that 6% of trade receivables were uncollectible.
b. Land is measured using the revaluation model. In February 2018, the company received confirmation that land has a fair value increase of $10,500 million at 31 December 2017. Land is not subject to depreciation.
c. The balance on current tax in the trial balance (Debit 4,800 million) represents the under/over provision of tax liability of the previous year. Current tax expense amount is estimated to be $2,700 million. The tax consultant advised that the deferred tax liability balance (including the tax effects of item b) should be $7,400 million at 31 December 2017. Corporate tax rate is 20%.
With reference to relevant International Accounting Standards,
Explain whether each of the above items (a) to (c) should be included in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. If the answer is yes, what should be the adjustment /amount that would appear in the financial statements? (Note: the items do not carry equal weighting).

In year 0 of project A, your company is required to make $1M investment but in year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 the investment level is only $250K per year. Benefits are forecasted to start in year 3 and continue for the next 20 years varying by each year. Breakeven period is somewhere between year 6 and 7. There is another project alternative (call it project B) that is known but not pursued because the payback period is after year 10 and so the current engineering manager assigned to conduct the economic analysis did not consider this alternative. (a) Should the company invest the time and effort in conducting an analysis for the alternative project? Why or Why not? (b) Create a spreadsheet to show a reasonable analysis for the 20-year period. Use numbers provided and make-up numbers that have not been provided to you as part of this question.

An investor invests $53,030.00 and receives an annuity of $7,000.00 at the end of each year for 12 years and an additional payment of $15,000.00 at the end of the 13th year. Each time he gets a $7,000.00 payment, he immediately deposits $4,000.00 in a savings account that earns 9%. Find the annual yield received by the investor over the 13 year period.
Please provide a mathematical explanation to the answer if possible. I am more concerned with semantics.
