A
  • Can be
  • IF entity can demonstrate the delay was caused by events beyond control
23
Q

A
  • Any loss shown on SPL
  • No further depreciation should be charged
    -Any gain or loss on sale recorded in SPL like a normal disposal

It’s value will be recoverable through its sale rather than its use

26
Q

27

What are the disclosures needed for NCA held for sale and discontinued operations?

A
  • Single amount in the statement of Profit or loss comprising of

A
  • Revenue, expenses and pre-tax profit or loss
  • Related income tax expense
  • Post-tax gain or loss on disposal of asset or measurement to fair value - cost of disposal
31
Q

Define Inventories

A

Assets that are:
- Held for sale in the ordinary course of business (finished goods)
- In the process of production for sales (work in progress)
- Raw materials or supplies for the production process

32
Q

How is inventory measured?

A

At the lower of
- cost
or
- net realisable value (NRV)

33
Q

What are the components of the cost of inventories?

A
  • Cost of purchase (Purchase price - discounts, import duties or taxes, directly attributable costs of delivery and installation)
  • Cost of Conversion (costs directly related to units of production of material, labour, overheads)
  • Other costs (bringing inventory to current location and condition)
34
Q

What are fixed production overheads??

A

Indirect costs such as the cost of factory management and administration remain relatively constant - based on normal level of production

35
Q

What are variable production overheads?

A

Include indirect materials and labour costs and vary with production

36
Q

What are the estimation methods of finding the approximate value of stock?

A

Standard cost: normal levels of materials and supplies, labour - should be regularly reviewed and revised

Retail Method: cost is determined by reducing the value of inventory by the percentage of gross margin

37
Q

What are the estimation techniques used to approximate the cost for interchangeable items?

A

First in, First out

Weighted average cost

38
Q

What is the FIFO method of approximating inventory cost?

A

Calculation of cost is on the basis that the quantities in hand represent the most recent purchases/production

-older items are used first

39
Q

What is the weighted average cost approximation method for the cost of inventories?

A

Cost calculated by the weighted average price = total cost of items/total number of items

Price is recalculated on periodic basis as each shipment is received, and as items are removed

40
Q

Which cost approximation method is not permitted by IAS2 and why

A

Last in, First out (LIFO) - does not bear a good approximation of to actual cost

41
Q

Define Net realisable Value

A

Estimated selling price in the ordinary cost of business
less
- estimated costs of completion
- estimated costs necessary to make sale (marketing, selling, distribution)

42
Q

Why might the NRV be less than the cost of inventories?

A
  • Increase in cost of manufacturing items
  • Physical determination of inventories
  • Errors in production
43
Q

What disclosures are needed in financial statements for inventories>?

A
  • Accounting policies to measure inventories (cost formula)
  • Total carrying amount of inventories
  • Carrying amount at Net Realisable value
44
Q

Define events after the reporting period

A

Events favourable and unfavourable occur between end of the reporting period and when financial statements are authorised for issue

45
Q

What are the two types of events after the reporting period?

A
  • Adjusting events after the reporting period - evidence of conditions that existed
  • Non-adjusting events after the reporting period indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period
46
Q

What are ways in which assets can be impaired as an adjusting event?

A
  • Credit customer has gone bankrupt
  • The recoverable amount of PPE has fallen below the carrying amount
  • Evidence that the Net realisable value of inventories is less than the carrying amount
47
Q

What are other examples of adjusting events?

A
  • Resolution of court case
  • determination of Cost of assets purchased or proceeds from assets sold
  • Evidence that going concern basis may no longer be appropriate
  • Discovery of fraud or error
48
Q

What are examples of non-adjusting events

A
  • Acquisition or disposal or subsidiary after the reporting date
  • Announcement of a plan to discontinue operation after the end of the reporting date
  • Major transaction in shares, PPE after reporting date
  • Litigation due to events after the reporting date
  • Destruction of PPE (fire, flood) after end of reporting date
49
Q

What is the accounting treatment for adjusting events?

A

The amounts in financial statements are changed to incorporate new information

50
Q

What is the accounting treatment for non-adjusting events?

A
  • no changes made to amounts in the financial statements
  • A disclosure note is included: nature of event + financial effect if quantifiable
51
Q
