The following information is relevant:

(i) Pythias’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose the directors of Pythias considered a share price for Sara of K3.50 per share to be appropriate.

(ii) At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Sara’s property, plant and equipment was equal to its carrying amount with the exception of Sara’s plant which had a fair value of K4 million above its carrying amount. At that date the plant had a remaining life of four years. Sara uses straight-line depreciation for plant assuming a nil residual value. Also at the date of acquisition, Pythias valued Sara’s customer relationships as a customer base intangible asset at fair value of K3 million. Sara has not accounted for this asset. Trading relationships with Sara’s customers last on average for six years.

(iii) At 30 September 2011, Sara’s inventory included goods bought from Pythias (at cost to Sara) of K2.6 million. Pythias had marked up these goods by 30% on cost. Pythias’s agreed current account balance owed by Sara at 30 September 2011 was K1.3 million.

(iv)Impairment tests were carried out on 30 September 2011 which concluded that consolidated goodwill was not impaired, but, due to disappointing earnings, the value of the investment in Austin was impaired by K2.5 million.

(v) Assume all profits accrue evenly through the year.

Required:

Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Pythias as at 30 September 2011.

On October 15, 2020, the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On January 1, 2021, 20 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 20 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026, at 80% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2021, which was $15. The fair value of the 20 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $3 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize forfeitures only when they occur.



Ten percent (2 million) of the options were forfeited when an executive resigned in 2022. All other options were exercised on July 12, 2025, when the stock’s price jumped unexpectedly to $39 per share.

Required:
1. When is Ensor’s stock option measurement date?
2. Determine the compensation expense for the stock option plan in 2021. (Ignore taxes.)
3. Prepare the journal entries to reflect the effect of forfeiture of the stock options on Ensor’s financial statements for 2022 and 2023.
5. Prepare the journal entry to account for the exercise of the options in 2025.

In October 1929, the U.S. stock market suddenly crashed after a long period of growth. It was the beginning of the Great Depression era with falling incomes and prices that came to a definite end only right before Pearl Harbor, and the start of World War II.

In contrast, in 2001, the dotcom bubble burst, but the economy quickly got back on its feet a few quarters later. In 2007-2008 the US housing market crashed and set off a financial crisis that initially mirrored the great depression. After a few years, however, it became evident that the US economy had escaped such a threat with only a “great recession” rather than a “great depression”.

Discuss one or more of the following prompts:

  • Why did the Great Depression last much longer than the Great Recession?
  • What are the analogies and the differences in the policy responses to these similar shocks? (Distinguish monetary and fiscal policy).
  • Japan in the 1990s and the Euro area in the 2010s were much less successful in responding to the crisis. What do you think explains the difference? Lack of reforms? Monetary policy? Fiscal policy? Explain.

harp's incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent. The present value factor for one month at an annual interest rate of 12 percent (1 percent per month) is 0.9901. Sharp must close its books and prepare financial statements on December 31.

  1. Prepare journal entries, assuming that Sharp entered into the forward contract as a fair value hedge of a 130,000 ruble receivable arising from a sale made on October 1, 2017. Include entries for both the sale and the forward contract.
  2. Prepare journal entries, assuming that Sharp entered into the forward contract as a fair value hedge of a firm commitment related to a 130,000 ruble sale that will be made on January 31, 2018. Include entries for both the firm commitment and the forward contract. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the forward rate.
