(a) A director of Enca, a public listed company, has expressed concerns about the accounting treatment of some of the company’s items of property, plant and equipment which have increased in value. His main concern is that the statement of financial position does not show the true value of assets which have increased in value and that this ‘undervaluation’ is compounded by having to charge depreciation on these assets, which also reduces reported profit. He argues that this does not make economic sense.

Respond to the director’s concerns by summarising the principal requirements of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment in relation to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, including its subsequent treatment.

(b) The following details relate to two items of property, plant and equipment (A and B) owned by Delta which are depreciated on a straight-line basis with no estimated residual value:

At 31 March 2014 item A was still in use, but item B was sold (on that date) for $70 million.

Note: Delta makes an annual transfer from its revaluation surplus to retained earnings in respect of excess depreciation.

Required:

Prepare extracts from:

(i) Delta’s statements of profit or loss for the years ended 31 March 2013 and 2014 in respect of charges (expenses) related to property, plant and equipment;

Overdraft interest is payable at an annual rate of 6·17% per year, with payments being made each month based on the opening balance at the start of that month.

life, sold his home near London on 22 March 2006 and, together with his wife (a French citizen), moved to live

fees, for the board meetings held on 18 April and 16 May 2006, be refunded, on the grounds that, as he is no

at its offices in Cambridge.

tax status, Damian is uncertain whether he should make the refunds requested. However, as Peter is a friend of

the company’s founder, Linden Limited’s managing director is urging him to do so, stating that if the tax does

have to be paid, then Linden Limited could always bear the cost.

is a UK tax liability the implications of the managing director’s suggestion. You are not required to consider

national insurance (NIC) issues. (4 marks)

Cross training can be used in almost any position in almost any industry.I cross trained some of my design engineers to go on field installation trips and get first hand knowledge of how their designs worked, or didn’t work, in the field. Cashiers can be trained to stock shelves and stockers trained to cashier. This allows you to quickly open additional registers if the customer queue gets too long.

As you prepare cross training plans, you need to consider both the company benefits and the employee benefits. Carefullyselect the employees to be cross trained. Some people like to learn new things. Some are more comfortable sticking to what they know. Don’t decide which employees are ready for a change based on their age or performance.
