Stenberg plc is preparing its financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2020.
On 1 May 2020, the company purchased a factory for the manufacture of optical disks,
paying £24,000,000. The factory will be depreciated over its estimated life of 10 years
using the straight line method on a full year basis with no residual value.
The asking price for the factory had been £30,000,000. However, Stenberg plc estimated
the net present value of the factory’s future expected net cash flows at £28,500,000 and
the price eventually agreed with the vendor was £24,000,000.
During October 2020 a rival company announced that it had patented a new technology
which has been enthusiastically greeted by the major players in the industry. Stenberg
plc now feels that it may be necessary to revise downwards its expectations for the
factory. It now believes that the net present value of the expected net cash flows from the
factory as at 30 November 2020 was £20,500,000. The net realisable value of the factory
was estimated at £14,000,000 as at 30 November 2020.
Required:
Discuss whether or not there is evidence of impairment and describe how the factory
should be treated in the financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2020.

Colbert imputes a 6% interest rate on this zero-interest note transaction. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale on January 1, 2020, and compute the total amount of revenue to be recognized in 2020.

b) Colbert sells 20 nonrefundable $100 gift cards for 3D printer paper on March 1, 2020. The paper has a standalone selling price of $100 (cost $80). The gift cards expiration date is June 30, 2020. Colbert estimates that customers will not redeem 10% of these gift cards. The pattern of redemption is as follows.

Redemption Total
March 31 50 %
April 30 80
June 30 85


Prepare the 2020 journal entries related to the gift cards at March 1, March 31, April 30, and June 30.
