12、 buildings to fair value at each reporting date.

14、ck but is unsure whether to carry out the repairs or whether to sell the block for a reduced price. The property has been left in the financial statements at a value of $20 million. A provision of $3 million for the repair costs was charged to other expenses.6. The following information relates to Z

15、ippys defined benefit pension scheme:No entries have been entered in the financial statements except that the contributions into the scheme have been correctly added to the pension schemes assets.7. On 1 January 2016, Zippy entered into a contract to sell 10,000 units of a new product, the Whizoo, t

16、o a customer for $1,000 per unit. It was agreed that if the customer ordered an additional 5,000 units, a volume discounted price of $950 per unit would apply. 6,000 units were manufactured and delivered in the four months to 30 April 2016.Minor defects were discovered in the first 6,000 units due t

Zippy and the customer agreed to net this amount off against subsequent payments for future orders. A further 7,000 units had been manufactured and delivered by 30 June 2016

18、without any defects. Zippy has included $6 million in revenue (6,000 x $1,000) for the first 6,000 units but has not recorded any additional revenue, as the directors are unsure of the correct accounting treatment.Required:（分数：50）(1).Prepare the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the

19、 Zippy Group for the year ended 30 June 2016.（分数：35）_(2).The directors of Zippy have heard that under alternative accounting practices actuarial gains and losses (the remeasurement component) can be immediately recognised in profit or loss or deferred using an applicable systematic method. Additiona

20、lly, past service cost can be recognised initially in other comprehensive income and then recycled to profit or loss. The directors are unsure as to the differences between other comprehensive income and profit or loss and the rationale as to why some gains can be and others cannot be recycled.Requi

21、red:With reference to pension schemes, discuss the differences between other comprehensive income and profit or loss and the rationale as to why some gains and losses can be and others cannot be recycled to profit or loss.

23、n the operating profit margin of Zippy. The directors of Zippy are unhappy that there is inconsistency on the presentation of gains and losses in relation to defined benefit schemes. Additionally, they believe that as the pension scheme is not an integral part of the operating activities of Zippy, i

24、t is misleading to include the gains and losses in profit or loss. They therefore propose to change their accounting policy so that all gains and losses on the pension scheme are recognised in other comprehensive income. They believe that this will make the financial statements more consistent, more

25、 understandable and can be justified on the grounds of fair presentation.Required:Discuss the accounting and ethical implications arising from the proposed change of accounting policy on Zippys defined benefit scheme.（分数：7）_Section B TWO questions ONLY to be attempted(a) Suntory, a private limited c

41、 (2 marks)（分数：25.00）_(a) Evolve is a real estate company, which is listed on the stock exchange and has a year end of 31 August.On 21 August 2016, Evolve undertook a scrip (bonus) issue where the shareholders of Evolve received certain rights. The shareholders are able to choose between:(i) receivi

42、ng newly issued shares of Evolve, which could be traded on 30 September 2016; or(ii) transferring their rights back to Evolve by 10 September 2016 for a fixed cash price which would be paid on 20 September 2016.In the financial statements at 31 August 2016, Evolve believed that the criteria for the

43、recognition of a financial liability as regards the second option were not met at 31 August 2016 because it was impossible to reliably determine the full amount to be paid, until 10 September 2016. Evolve felt that the transferring of the rights back to Evolve was a put option on its own equity, whi

44、ch would lead to recording changes in fair value in profit or loss in the next financial year. Evolve disclosed the transaction as a non-adjusting event after the reporting period. (8 marks)(b) At 31 August 2016, Evolve controlled a wholly owned subsidiary, Resource, whose only assets were land and

This measurement was in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

47、However, Evolve did not classify the non-current assets of Resource as held for sale in the financial statements at 31 August 2016 because there were uncertainties regarding the negotiations with the buyer and a risk that the agreement would not be finalised. There was no disclosure of these uncerta

48、inties and the original agreement was finalised on 20 September 2016. (9 marks)(c) Evolve operates in a jurisdiction with a specific tax regime for listed real estate companies. Upon adoption of this tax regime, the entity has to pay a single tax payment based on the unrealised gains of its investment properties.
