(7 marks)(分数:16.67)_二、Section B TWO quest(总题数:3,分数:75.00)The directors of Yanong, a public limited company, have seen many different ways of dealing with the measurementand dis
10、closure of the fair value of assets, liabilities and equity instruments. They feel that this reduces comparabilityamong different entities financial statements. They would like advice on several transactions where they currently usefair value measurement as they have heard that the introduction of I
11、FRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, while notinterfering with the scope of fair value measurement, will reduce the extent of any diversity and inconsistency.(分数:25.00)(1).(a)Yanong owns several farms and also owns a division which sells agricultural vehicles.

Yanong plantedthe maize fields during the quarter to 31 October 2014 at an operating cost of $10 million. The fie
14、lds originallycost $20 million. There is no active market for partly grown fields of maize and therefore Yanong proposes to usea discounted cash flow method to value the maize fields.

Yanong has several plots of farmland which areunproductive. The company feels that the land would have more value if it were used for residential purposes.T
17、here are several potential purchasers for the land but planning permission has not yet been granted for use ofthe land for residential purposes. However, preliminary enquiries with the regulatory authorities seem to indicatethat planning permission may be granted. Additionally, the government has re
18、cently indicated that moreagricultural land should be used for residential purposes. Yanong has also been approached to sell the land for commercial development at a higher price than that forresidential purposes. Yanong would like advice on how to measure the fair value of the land in its financial

In the first of these laboratories, the research and development activity is funded internally and centrally for eachof the three sales di
22、visions. It does not carry out research and development activities for other entities. Each ofthe three divisions is given a budget allocation which it uses to purchase research and development activitiesfrom the laboratory. The laboratory is directly accountable to the division heads for this expen
23、diture. The second laboratory performs contract investigation activities for other laboratories and pharmaceuticalcompanies. This laboratory earns 75% of its revenues from external customers and these external revenuesrepresent 18% of the organisations total revenues. The performance of the second l
24、aboratorys activities and of the three separate divisions is regularly reviewed bythe chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition to the heads of divisions, there is a head of the secondlaboratory. The head of the second laboratory is directly accountable to the CODM and they discuss the oper
25、atingactivities, allocation of resources and financial results of the laboratory. Klancet is uncertain as to whether the research and development laboratories should be reported as two separatesegments under IFRS 8 Operating Segments, and would like advice on this issue.(8 marks)(分数:8.33)_(2).(b)Kla
26、ncet has agreed to sell a patent right to another pharmaceutical group, Jancy. Jancy would like to use thepatent to develop a more complex drug. Klancet will receive publicly listed shares of the Jancy group in exchangefor the right. The value of the listed shares represents the fair value of the pa
27、tent. If Jancy is successful indeveloping a drug and bringing it to the market, Klancet will also receive a 5% royalty on all sales.

Klancet will retain ownership of patent rights attached to the drug. Rettois not involved in the market
30、ing and production of the drug. Klancet has agreed to make two non-refundablepayments to Retto of $4 million on the signing of the agreement and $6 million on successful completion of thedevelopment. Klancet and Retto have entered into a second collaboration agreement in which Klancet will pay Retto
31、 fordeveloping and manufacturing an existing drug. The existing drug already has regulatory approval. The new drugbeing developed by Retto for Klancet will not differ substantially from the existing drug. Klancet will have exclusivemarketing rights to the drug if the regulatory authorities approve i
32、t. Historically, in this jurisdiction, new drugsreceive approval if they do not differ substantially from an existing approved drug. The contract terms require Klancet to pay an upfront payment on signing of the contract, a payment on securingfinal regulatory approval, and a unit payment of $10 per
33、unit, which equals the estimated cost plus a profitmargin, once commercial production begins. The cost-plus profit margin is consistent with Klancets otherrecently negotiated supply arrangements for similar drugs. Klancet would like to know how to deal with the above contracts with Retto.

35、for clarity and quality of presentation.(2 marks) (分数:8.33)_IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statementsdefines profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The purpose ofthe statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is to show an entitys financial performance in a waywhich is usefu
36、l to a wide range of users so that they may attempt to assess the future net cash inflows of an entity.The statement should be classified and aggregated in a manner which makes it understandable and comparable.However, the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is calling for a shift in t
37、hinking more to the long term,to think beyond what can be measured in quantitative terms and to think about how the entity creates value for itsowners. Historical financial statements are essential in corporate reporting, particularly for compliance purposes, butit can be argued that they do not pro
38、vide meaningful information. Preparers of financial statements seem to be unclearabout the interaction between profit or loss and other comprehensive income (OCI) especially regarding the notion ofreclassification, but are equally uncertain about whether the IIRCs Framework constitutes suitable crit
39、eria for reportpreparation.

On a separate issue, Cloud purchased an
44、item of property, plant and equipment for $10 million on 1 May 2013.The asset is depreciated over five years on the straight line basis with no residual value. At 30 April 2014, theasset was revalued to $12 million. At 30 April 2015, the assets value has fallen to $4 million. The entity makesa trans
