What is the explanatory variable and what is the response variable?
Create a scatterplot below (go ahead and enter the data into your calculator first, but draw a beautiful scatterplot).
Does it appear that there is a linear relationship between alcohol consumption and heart attacks? Is there a positive association or negative association?
Compute the linear regression equation and the correlation coefficient.
Interpret the slope and y-intercept in the context of alcohol consumption and heart disease.
Superimpose the regression equation on the scatterplot.
Predict the rate of heart attacks for a country where the average wine consumption is 3 liters/person/year
Would it be appropriate to try to predict the death rate from heart attacks for Estonia where the per capita wine consumption is 15 liters/year? Why or why not?

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.

Below is an extract from the initial trial balance of
Zamzam provided to the auditors for the financial
year ended 31 December 2020 (‘FY2020’), before any of the errors
and omissions identified and
noted below, were corrected and taken into consideration:
General ledger account Balance
Dr/ (Cr)
4000/000: Current tax expense (p/l) R420 651
4200/000: Deferred tax expense (p/l) R65 187
9100/000: SARS payable (SoFP) R420 651
9200/000: Deferred tax (SoFP) – 31 December 2020 R54 160
5400/000: Revaluation surplus: Owner-occupied land (SoCE) – 1
January 2020 (R117 500)
5500/000: Revaluation surplus: Owner-occupied land (OCI) (Before
tax) R150 000
The only errors and omissions identified by the auditors (not yet
correctly accounted for in the above
balances) are listed below:
Error 1: Incorrect depreciation expense on the office
building
The depreciation expense on the office building was incorrectly
calculated as R67 000 instead of
R77 000. Zamzam used R67 000 in the current tax calculation for the
current financial year. The
South African Revenue Service (SARS) does not allow any capital
allowances on the office building.
It is the intention of Zamzam to use the office building until the
end of its useful life.
Omission 1: Exclusion of current tax effect on exchange of
assets
Zamzam exchanged its old air conditioners for more technologically
advanced air conditioners on
30 June 2020. The effect of both the old and new air conditioners
were omitted from the current tax
calculation for the current financial year. Details of the old and
new air conditioners include the
following:
Old air conditioners
Cost on 1 January 2019 (ready for and taken into use on this date;
paid immediately
in cash)
R170 000
Fair value on 30 June 2020 R150 000
Useful life as of 1 January 2019 10 years
New air conditioners
Fair value on 30 June 2020 (ready for and taken into use on this
date) R160 000
Useful life as of 30 June 2020 10 years.
The residual values of both the old and new air conditioners were
considered to be immaterial. The
useful life and residual value estimates remained unchanged. The
exchange transaction had
commercial substance as defined in terms of IAS 16 Property, Plant
and Equipment. The SARS
allows a section 11(e) wear and- tear allowance over 15 years on
both the old and new air
conditioners; apportioned for periods shorter than a year. Zamzam
has never had any intention to
sell any of its air conditioners. The SARS deems the exchange
transaction as if the old air
conditioners were sold and the new air conditioners were obtained
for the same consideration as
would be recognised for accounting purposes in terms of IAS
16.
Omission 2: Deposits received in the current financial year
Zamzam receives deposits for large orders placed from new
customers. The deposit is refundable
on cancellation of the order, which results in control only passing
when the order will be delivered.
At the end of the current financial year, Zamzam received deposits
to the value of R90 000 which
were correctly classified as revenue received in advance. The
effect of these deposits were however
not taken into account in the current tax calculation for the
current financial year. No such deposits
were received at the end of the prior financial year.
Omission 3: Exclusion of allowance for credit losses in the current
financial year
The SARS allows a section 11(j) deduction of 25% of the accounting
allowance for credit losses
each year. Zamzam did not recognise the doubtful debt as part of
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for
the purposes of SARS. The effect of the allowance was correctly
accounted for in the current financial
year’s deferred tax calculation. However, the FY2020 current tax
calculation does not include the
effect of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit
losses of Zamzam amounted to the
following at the respective dates:
Description Amount
Dr / (Cr)
Balance on 31 December 2019 (R145 000)
Balance on 31 December 2020 (R170 000)
Other relevant information:
1. The correctly calculated accounting profit before tax, after
correctly taking into account the
above errors and omissions amounted to R1 950 000. This profit
includes a net non-deductible
permanent difference of R2 000. The latter consists of dividends
received form a local listed
company to the value of R10 000 and the remaining balance consists
of other non-deductible
expenses incurred during the current financial year. The latter
items were correctly accounted
for in the current year tax calculation.
2. The assessed loss for the financial year ended 31 December 2019
amounted to R360 000.
3. Zamzam’s board has always been of the opinion that the company
will make taxable profits in
the foreseeable future to utilise any unused tax losses.
4. Zamzam always utilises any tax deductions received from SARS in
the year of assessment
they are entitled to do so.
5. Assume that none of the identified errors and omissions affect
any of the prior year balances.
6. Assume that all other information provided are correct and
accurately accounted for to the
extent that it is not affected by the errors and omissions
noted.
ZigZag provided an extract of the asset register as at the end of
the current and prior financial year:
ASSETS CARRYING AMOUNTS
31 December 2020

Land (1) 3 800 000 3 000 000
Office buildings (2) 1 900 000 1 370 000
Industrial buildings (3) 3 333 333 3 666 667
Machinery (4) 1 800 000 2 700 000
Additional information:
1. Land is vacant land and it is classified as investment property.
The land was acquired on
1 April 2019 at R2 800 000. The fair value adjustments have been
accounted for at the end of
the respective financial years.
2. The office building was acquired on 1 July 2019 for R1 400 000
and was revalued for the first
time on 31 December 2020 to its fair value of R1 900 000. The
office buildings are depreciated
on the straight line basis over 20 years to its residual value of
R200 000. During 2019,
management expected to use the asset up to the end of its economic
life.
On 1 January 2020, management estimated the remaining useful life
of the building to have
changed to 10 years and the residual value to be R500 000.
In December 2020 the management changed the intention and decided
they were going to sell
the office building.
Office buildings have no capital allowances available.
3. Industrial buildings are depreciated over 12 years on the
straight line basis. In terms of the
Income tax act, a section 13 allowance of 5% applies to the
industrial buildings. The buildings
were bought on 1 January 2019, with the intention to keep the
building, for an amount of
R4 000 000 paid in cash immediately with its residual value
regarded as being insignificant.
4. Machinery is depreciated on a straight line basis at 20% per
year to Rnil residual value. The
SARS allows a section 12C allowance of 40%/20%/20%/20% on
machinery. The machinery had
a tax base of R1 800 000 on 31 December 2019 and R900 000 on 31
December 2020. No
additional machinery was acquired during FY2020.
5. ZigZag always pays their insurance in advance. At the end of
FY2020 the balance for insurance
paid in advance amounted to R35 000 (2019: R25 000).
6. On 1 December 2020, Zamdela, a loyal customer, ordered
transportation equipment from
ZigZag which will be delivered to him during December 2021. ZigZag
received R500 000 from
Zamdela in cash when the order was placed.
7. The accounting profit before tax, which included dividends
received of R40 000, amounted to
R3 200 000 for the year ended 31 December 2020. All above mentioned
movements were taken
into account in arriving at this accounting profit.
8. The deferred tax asset balance as at 31 December 2019 was R390
150 due to an assessed
loss of R2 200 000 that existed at that time. ZigZag expected to
make sufficient taxable profits
during 2020 and onwards to fully utilize assessed losses and other
deductible temporary
differences.
Accounting policies and other information for both companies:
Owner-occupied land is accounted for on the revaluation model and
is revalued at the end of
each financial year in terms of IAS 16.
Office buildings are carried on the revaluation model using the
net replacement method in
terms of IAS 16.
Machinery is measured on the cost model in terms of IAS 16.
Industrial buildings are measured on the cost model in terms of
IAS 16.
In terms of IAS 8 Change in accounting policies, estimates and
errors, changes in estimates
are accounted for using the re-allocation method.
All other items of property, plant and equipment are accounted
for on the cost model in terms
of IAS 16.
Investment property is accounted for on the fair value model in
terms of IAS 40 Investment
Properties.
Depreciation and amortisation are accounted for on the
straight-line method.
Assume a normal tax rate of 28% for FY2020 (2019: 27%) and that
80% of capital gains are
taxable.
There are no temporary differences other than those that are
apparent from the given
information.

The before-tax income for Nash Co. for 2020 was $101,000 and
$81,800 for 2021. However, the accountant noted that the following
errors had been made:
| 1. | Sales for 2020 included amounts of $35,500 which had been received in cash during 2020, but for which the related products were delivered in 2021. Title did not pass to the purchaser until 2021. | |
