4 INTEGRATED QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS

QUESTION 1 (28 marks) (50 minutes)

You are the senior accountant of Room N Roof Ltd, a property rental company based in Gauteng, South
Africa. The company has a 31 December year end.
Sandton property

Room N Roof Ltd owns an office park in Sandton that was originally purchased on 31 March 20x17 for
R2 500 000 (Land: R750 000; Building: R1 750 000). A portion of 90% of the floor space of the property
is currently being rented out to different companies whilst the remainder of the floor space of the property
is used by Room N Roof Ltd as its company head office. The 10% portion of the floor space of the
property occupied by Room N Roof Ltd can be considered insignificant and cannot be sold separately.

On acquisition date an estimated useful life of 25 years and a residual value of R750 000 was allocated
to the building. The building was available for use, as intended by management, as well as brought into
use on 1 May 20x17.

The carrying amount and tax base of the building, which you can assume to be correct, for the years
ended 31 December 20x17 and 31 December 20x18 are as follows:

Carrying
amount Tax base
R R
Cost ............................................................................................... 1 750 000 1 750 000
Depreciation / Wear and tear ......................................................... (26 667) (87 500)
Carrying amount / Tax base 31 December 20x17 .......................... 1 723 333 1 662 500
Depreciation / Wear and tear ......................................................... (40 000) (87 500)
Carrying amount / Tax base 31 December 20x18 .......................... 1 683 333 1 575 000

Despite the economic downturn, Sandton based properties are in high demand and property prices in
the area have escalated over the years. Management of Room N Roof Ltd took cognisance of this fact
and decided that the fair value model presents a more relevant and reliable indication of the Sandton
property’s value. Therefore, management changed the accounting policy for the valuation of the Sandton
property from the cost model to the fair value model.

An independent sworn appraiser determined the fair value of the land and building for the respective
periods as follows:
Land Building
R R
31 December 20x17....................................................................... 800 000 2 000 000
31 December 20x18....................................................................... 895 000 2 250 000
31 December 20x19....................................................................... 1 050 000 2 400 000

The chief financial officer advised you of management’s decision to account for the Sandton property at
its fair value rather than at cost less accumulated depreciation. He requested you to determine the
accounting implications of this decision and inform him of your findings.

QUESTION 1 Suggested solution

PART A

To: The Chief Financial Officer


Date: xx July 20x23

Subject: Accounting implications of management’s decision to measure the Sandton


property at its fair value rather than at cost less accumulated depreciation

Accounting treatment

This decision amounts to a voluntary change in accounting policy to account for investment property
according to fair value model instead of the cost model.

This change in accounting policy should be accounted for retrospectively and comparative figures
should be restated, according to the requirements of IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting
estimates and errors.

Disclosure Requirements

1. Notes to the annual financial statements

The following should be disclosed in the notes to the annual financial statements for a voluntary change
in accounting policy, according to the requirements of IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting
estimates and errors:
 The nature of the change in accounting policy (i.e. change from cost model to fair value model)
 Reason why the change in accounting policy provides more relevant and reliable information
(fair value is a better indication of the property value).
 The amount of the adjustment for each financial statement line item affected for the current
period and each prior period presented (i.e. the effect on the financial years ended 20x19, 20x18
and 20x17.
 The amount of the adjustment relating to periods before those presented (i.e. the cumulative
adjustment on the opening balance of retained earnings).

2. Statement of financial position

According to the requirements of IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements, a third statement of


financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (1 January 20x18) should be presented if
there is a retrospective application of a change in accounting policy. This means an entity shall present
three statements of financial position as at:
(a) the end of the current period;
(b) the end of the preceding period; and
(c) the beginning of the preceding period. This third statement of financial position does not need to
be supported by notes.

QUESTION 2 (46 marks) (83 minutes)


Jam Pathways Ltd (JamPath) provides a broad range of logistical solutions throughout Southern Africa.
JamPath was founded in March 20x17 by Grey Rademan and has a 31 March year end. The company
elected International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as the company’s financial reporting
framework.
The main operating divisions include general distribution, retail logistics and truck rental. The truck rental
division includes commercial vehicle rentals and full maintenance leasing.
JamPath had 200 000 ordinary shares in issue as at 31 March 20x23.

Contract with Reddy Logistics (Reddy)


On 15 June 20x22, JamPath entered into a lease agreement to lease one of its Volvo FH16 trucks to
Reddy, a company that transports timber, wood chip and forestry products to various furniture
manufacturers in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. The agreement contains a lease in terms of IFRS 16,
Leases. The agreement stipulates the commencement date of the lease will be the day when the Volvo
truck is delivered to Reddy’s facilities.
Reddy had proposed to pay R410 000 bi-annually for the use of the truck. However, JamPath’s legal
counsel managed to convince Reddy to agree to pay R422 437 bi-annually in advance. The lease term
ends on 30 June 20x26. Jam Path incurred initial direct costs of R7 000 to negotiate the lease and the
market-related interest rate was 12% per annum.
The details in the JamPath fixed asset register reveal the following
Cost price ........................................................................................................ R3 023 500
Purchase date .................................................................................................. 1 April 20x21
Carrying amount on 1 April 20x22 ..................................................................... R2 437 800
Residual value ................................................................................................. R95 000
The truck was both ready for use and taken into use by JamPath on acquisition date.
The lease agreement further stipulates that ownership of the truck will be transferred to Reddy on
30 June 20x26, upon payment of the R80 000 residual value guarantee. On 1 July 20x22, the fair value
of the truck was R2 453 800.

The truck was made available to Reddy and brought to use on 1 July 20x22. It is the accounting policy
of JamPath to account for delivery vehicles in accordance with the cost model. Depreciation is
accounted for in accordance with the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the delivery
truck. The expected useful life of the delivery truck was five years on the date of purchase by JamPath.
The South African Revenue Service grants a s11(e) allowance of four years, apportioned over time, for
these delivery trucks.
Human Resource matters
JamPath’s monthly payroll for the year ended 31 March 20x23 included gross salaries amounting to
R451 500 per month after the salary increase. (Refer to the minutes attached below).
Membership to the JamPath Provident Fund, a defined contribution plan, is compulsory for all
employees. The employer contributes 8% of the employee’s gross monthly salaries towards the
provident fund and the employees contribute 6%. JamPath’s leave cycle coincides with its financial year.
There are 252 working days per leave cycle.
10
FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 2 (continued)

All employees of JamPath are entitled to 28 working days of annual vacation leave per leave cycle. All
employees are required to take a minimum of 15 days annual leave per leave cycle. Employees who
earned 60% of the gross salaries of the company took all their leave during the year and the remaining
employees took on average only 22 days. Any unused leave days are accumulated to the next leave
cycle, limited to five days. Unused leave days in excess of five days are forfeited. Experience has shown
that on average only four of the five unused leave days that are carried forward are indeed taken during
the next leave cycle. The leave pay accrual for the year ended 31 March 20x22 amounted to R20 125.
There were no resignations or new appointments of employees during the current financial year.

QUESTION 3 (18 marks) (32 minutes)

Flattering Soaps Ltd is a soap manufacturing company based in Cape Town, South Africa. The company
has a 30 June financial year end.

The following revenue transactions have taken place during the financial year ended 30 June 20x20:

Transaction 1: Sale to US company

On 1 January 20x20, Flattering Soaps Ltd entered into a contract for the sale of 10 boxes of soap to a
US based company. Due to the fact that Flattering Soaps Ltd anticipated that the Rand would deteriorate
in the foreseeable future, the transaction was dominated in US dollars ($). The total selling price of the
soaps sold amounted to $1 000 and the customer settled the amount on 10 February 20x20. The soaps
were shipped free on board on 31 January 20x20.

The following foreign exchange rates are applicable:


Spot rate
Date $1 = R
1 January 20x20 ................................................................. ...................... 14,50
31 January 20x20 ............................................................... ...................... 14,55
10 February 20x20 .............................................................. ...................... 14,20

The cost to manufacture the soaps amounted to R9 500.

The above transaction has not been recorded yet in the accounting records of Flattering Soaps Ltd.

Transaction 2: Cash sales

Flattering Soaps Ltd mainly sells soaps for cash to customers. The total sales for the year ended 30
June 20x20 amounted to R8 500 000. Included in total sales is an amount of R1 200 000 for cash sales
made during the month of June 20x20. Control of the soaps is transferred to the customer as soon as
the cash is received. Flattering Soaps Ltd’s policy is to allow customers to return the soaps, within 30
days from date of purchase, for a full refund if they are unsatisfied with the product. Flattering Soaps Ltd
uses the expected value method and estimated, based on experience, that 10% of the soaps sold will
be returned. The cost of the soaps sold amounted to R900 000.

The inexperienced financial clerk of Flattering Soaps Ltd only recorded the following journal entries to
account for the above cash sales for the year:

b) Cash sales of soaps


Based on the fact that dissatisfied customers are allowed to return the soaps within 30 days from date
of purchase for a full refund, these cash sales of soaps are regarded as sales with a right of return.
According to the requirements of IFRS 15, Revenue revenue should be recognised when control has
passed i.e. when the cash is received. For revenue transactions with a right of return, the following
should be recognised in the accounting records of Flattering Soaps Ltd:

Sales value of soaps sold


 Revenue only relating to the soaps sold and expected not to be returned i.e. 90% of R1 200 000
should be recognised. Therefore, revenue should be adjusted(debited) relating to the soaps sold
and expected to be returned i.e.10% of R1 200 000 = R120 000
 A refund liability should be credited relating to the soaps sold and expected to be returned, 10% of
R1 200 000 = R120 000

Cost of sales of soaps sold:


 A right of return asset should be debited relating to the cost of the soaps sold and expected to be
returned i.e.R900 000 x 10% = R90 000.
 Cost of sales should be credited relating to the cost of the soaps sold and expected to be returned
i.e. R900 000 x 10% = R90 000.

QUESTION 4 (50 marks) (90 minutes)

Bevmart Ltd is a manufacturer of fast-moving consumer goods, situated in Midrand, South Africa. The
company is listed on the JSE and has a 30 June year end (the current financial year has 365 days).
Bevmart Ltd has two manufacturing divisions, processed foods, and fresh foods (this includes fresh and
flash frozen fruits and vegetables).

Bevmart Ltd operates a 5-day working week. All employees are entitled to 20 days of accumulating
leave per year, vesting.

The following information relates to the fresh and frozen foods division as well as some of the assets of
the company:

Fresh and frozen foods division (FF division)

The FF division of Bevmart Ltd manufactures and packages both fresh and flash frozen foods. During
the current financial year, the management of Bevmart Ltd noticed a decline in the orders for their FF
division products. The marketing division of Bevmart Ltd embarked on a consumer research project, the
results of the study showed that as part of cost-saving measures, consumers are planting their own
community vegetable gardens, providing fresh fruits and vegetables to the community, resulting in the
decline in demand for store bought fruits and vegetables. On 30 June 20x23, the recoverable amount
of the FF division was estimated to be R1 450 000.

The FF division consists of the following assets:

Goodwill (carrying amount) ........................................................................................... R125 000


Packaging machinery.................................................................................................... Note 1
Inventory ....................................................................................................................... Note 2
Delivery vehicle............................................................................................................. Note 3

1. Bevmart Ltd purchased the packaging machinery on 5 August 20x20 at a cost of R1 575 000. An
amount of R18 500 was paid in cash, on 6 August 20x20, for the delivery of the packaging
machinery. Since the packaging machinery is very specialised, Bevmart Ltd had to pay a consultant
R5 700 to train their employees on how to use the packaging machine effectively. The packaging
machinery was available for use, as intended by management, and brought into use on 1 September
20x20. The packaging machinery has an estimated useful life of 7 years and a residual value of
R185 000 was allocated to it. On 30 June 20x23, the recoverable amount of the packaging
machinery was estimated to be R950 000.

2. On 30 June 20x23, the carrying amount and net realisable value of the inventory amounted to
R48 000 and R45 000, respectively.

3. Bevmart Ltd purchased the delivery vehicle, which was specifically customised for the transport of
flash frozen vegetables on 30 April 20x21, at a cost of R723 850. On acquisition date, the delivery
vehicle was wrapped at a cost of R95 000, in specific Bevmart Ltd branding, to assist with public
brand awareness. The delivery vehicle was available for use, as intended by management, and
brought into use, on 31 May 20x21. On acquisition date, the delivery vehicle had an estimated useful
life of 850 000km. No residual value was allocated to the delivery vehicle. On 1 July 20x22,

FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 4 (continued)

management of Bevmart Ltd estimated the remaining useful life of the delivery vehicle to only be
650 000km, due to the bad road conditions in South Africa. The delivery vehicle travelled
135 458km’s and 123 500km’s for the 20x22 and 20x23 financial years, respectively. The
recoverable amount of the delivery vehicle on 30 June 20x23, was unknown.

As part of the financial year end procedures, the junior accountant of Bevmart Ltd, prepared the following
two calculations:

Monitoring software

Bevmart Ltd purchased an artificial intelligence monitoring software on 4 April 20x23, from an
international software developer, at a cost of $185 000. The full invoice amount is payable by
Bevmart Ltd on 31 August 20x23. The software will be used to monitor the speed and driving habits of
Bevmart Ltd’s drivers. The software was available for use, as intended by management, on
1 May 20x23. On acquisition date it was determined that the software has an estimated useful life of 8
years, and no residual value was allocated to it. The speed and driving habit report created by the
monitoring software, if found favorable by the insurance company, will be used to calculate a monthly
insurance rebate.

Preservative formula

During the prior financial year, the management of Bevmart Ltd embarked on a research and
development project to develop a healthier preservative alternative, to be used in the production of
processed foods. The research commenced on 1 July 20x22 and on 1 September 20x22 all the criteria
for the recognition of an internally generated intangible asset were met. The development of the formula
was completed on 28 February 20x23. The formula was available for use, as intended by management,
on 1 March 20x23. The formula has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a residual value of Rnil was
allocated to it.

The following costs were incurred during the research and development phase:
1 July 20x22 –
28 February 20x23

1. Total water and electricity cost incurred for the period 1 July 20x22 to 28 February 20x23 amounted
to R164 550. The costs were incurred evenly throughout the period.
2. Three laboratory technicians, which are permanent employees of Bevmart Ltd, worked full time on
the research and development of the formula in the 20x23 financial year. Each laboratory assistant
is paid a monthly salary of R55 000. Bevmart Ltd’s permanent employees receive a 6% increase on
1 July of each year. All Bevmart Ltd’s permanent employees took 15 days annual leave during the
current 20x23 financial year. Once development of the preservative formula was completed, these
three laboratory technicians started a new research project.
3. Laboratory equipment was used for the period 1 September 20x22 until 31 December 20x22, during
the development of the formula. The total depreciation on the laboratory equipment, for the full 20x23
financial year, which you can assume has been calculated correctly, amounted to R75 000.
4. The research and development division of Bevmart Ltd donated a brand-new SUV to an employee
of the Department of Health, who will assist Bevmart Ltd to ensure the approval and classification of
their new formula as a “healthier and safer than any other preservatives currently available”, is
obtained. The vehicle was purchased on 1 February 20x23, at a cost of R1 150 000. The vehicle
was delivered to the employee of the Department of Health, on acquisition date. On acquisition date
it was determined that the vehicle has an estimated useful life of 5 years, and no residual value has
been allocated to it.

QUESTION 4: Suggested solution

a) Critically discuss the junior accountant’s impairment loss and allocation of impairment loss
calculations on the FF division.

Impairment loss calculation:

 The junior accountant correctly included all 4 assets of the FF division in the calculation of the
carrying amount of the FF division on 30 June 20x23.
 The junior accountant correctly calculated the impairment loss of the FF division as on
30 June 20x23, as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the
FF division.
 Goodwill was correctly included in the calculation of the carrying amount of the FF division at an
amount of R125 000.
 Packaging machinery:
o The carrying amount of the packaging machinery as on 30 June 20x23 amounting to
R1 026 786, was incorrectly calculated.
o The cost of R1 575 000 was correctly capitalised towards the cost of the packaging
machinery.
o The delivery cost constitutes a directly attributable cost and therefore the R18 500 was
correctly capitalised towards the cost of the packaging machinery.
o The fees to train employees to use the packaging machinery was incorrectly capitalised
towards the cost of the machinery. The fees to train the employees to use the packaging
machine is not a directly attributable cost and should thus not be capitalised towards the
cost of the packaging machinery, it should be expensed to the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income.
o The correct residual value of R185 000 was used to calculate the depreciable amount of the
packaging machinery.
o The correct total useful life of 7 years, converted to 84 months, was used to calculate the
carrying amount of the packaging machinery on 30 June 20x23.
o The correct depreciation period since available for use, until year-end on 30 June 20x23,
totalling 34 months, was used to calculate the carrying amount of the packaging machinery
on 30 June 20x23.
o The recoverable amount on the packaging machinery is available on 30 June 20x23, the
junior accountant should have tested the machinery for impairment. The recoverable amount
was lower than the carrying amount and therefore an impairment loss should have been
accounted for where the carrying amount was written down to the recoverable amount.
 Inventory:
o The carrying amount of the inventory was included in the calculation of the carrying amount
of the FF division at the incorrect value.
o According to IAS 2, Inventory is carried at the lower of the carrying amount and net realisable
value. On 30 June 20x23 the inventory had a net realisable value of R45 000, which is lower
than the carrying amount and thus the inventory should be included in the carrying amount
of the FF division at R45 000.
 Delivery vehicle
o The carrying amount of the delivery vehicle as on 30 June 20x23 amounting to R532 774,
was incorrectly calculated.
o The cost of R723 850 was correctly capitalised towards the cost of the delivery vehicle.

25
FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 4: Suggested solution (continued)

o The cost of the delivery vehicle was calculated incorrectly, the R95 000 paid to wrap the
vehicle in Bevmart Ltd branding, is not necessary to get the asset into the location and
condition necessary to be used, as intended by management. OR The R95 000 can be seen
as advertising cost which is not a directly attributable cost to be capitalised towards the cost
of the delivery vehicle.
o The depreciable amount of the delivery vehicle was correctly calculated with no residual
value being deducted from the cost there-of as no residual value was allocated to the
vehicle.
o The inputs used to calculate the accumulated depreciation was correct. The junior
accountant correctly used the total useful life of 850 000km’s and the distance travel from
the date that the delivery vehicle was available for use until the end of the previous financial
year of 135 458km’s. Due to the fact that depreciation on delivery vehicles is accounted for
using the units of production method, the junior accountant was correct to not apportion the
accumulated depreciation from the date the asset was available for use.
o The current year depreciation on the delivery vehicle was calculated incorrect. The useful
life of the delivery vehicle was changed from 850 000km to 650 000km in the current
financial year. This should be treated as a change in estimate. As a result, the current year
depreciation on the delivery vehicle should be calculated using the carrying amount at the
beginning of the year and not the original cost.
o The remainder of the inputs used to calculate the current year depreciation was correct. The
junior accountant correctly used the new estimated remaining useful life of 650 000km’s
together with the total distance of 123 500km’s travelled in the current financial year.
o As a result of the fact that the recoverable amount on the delivery vehicle is not available on
30 June 20x23, the junior accountant correctly could not have tested the delivery vehicle for
impairment.

The correct carrying amount of the FF division is:

Goodwill 125 000


Packaging machinery 950 000
Carrying amount
(1 575 000 + 18 500) – [(1 593 500 – 185 000) / 84 x 34] 1 023 393
Recoverable amount (950 000)
Impairment loss 73 393
Inventory 45 000
Delivery vehicles 492 882
Carrying amount at the beginning of the year
723 850 – (723 850 / 850 000 x 135 458) 608 496
Current year depreciation (608 496 / 650 000 x 123 500) (115 614)
Carrying amount of CGU 1 612 882

26
FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 4: Suggested solution (continued)

The correct impairment loss of the CGU is as follows:


Carrying amount of CGU (from above) 1 612 882
Recoverable amount (1 450 000)
Impairment loss on CGU 162 882

The junior accountant was correct to allocate the impairment loss to the assets within the CGU, but
unfortunately made the following mistakes in the allocation of the impairment loss:
1. The impairment loss should first be fully set off against the goodwill amount of R125 000, it should
not be allocated to goodwill on a pro-rata basis.
2. Since inventory is outside of the scope of IAS 36 measurement, the impairment loss should not be
allocated to inventory.
3. Since the packaging machine’s recoverable amount is known, the asset was already impaired to the
recoverable amount. No further impairment loss should be allocated to the packaging machinery.
4. The remaining impairment loss on the CGU should thus all be allocated to the delivery vehicle.

b) Profit before tax note for the year ended 30 June 20x23

Profit before tax is stated after taking the following into account:

c) Ethical considerations regarding the donation of the SUV

The CFO is a qualified chartered accountant, a CA(SA), and must adhere to the SAICA Code of
Professional Conduct, which requires all CA (SA)’s to comply with the relevant laws of South Africa.

The donation of the SUV to an employee from the department of health, will be made to ensure approval
and classification of the new formula for a specific purpose, to be endorsed as healthier and safer than
any other product.

This is not a donation but should rather be seen as a bribe. The bribing of any state official is against
the law in South Africa (Prevention and combatting of corrupt activities act (PRECCA)). Although the

CFO did not buy the vehicle or pay the bribe himself, he will still be complicit in the bribe if he does not
report it to the relevant authorities.
28
FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 4: Suggested solution (continued)

By being involved in the bribing of a state employee, the CFO is acting against the PRECCA act and
therefore it constitutes non-compliance with the laws and regulations. Non-compliance with laws and
regulations are non-adherence to the SAICA Code of Professional Conduct. Involvement in illegal acts
is unethical and therefor the donation of the SUV will be seen as unethical.

QUESTION 5 (50 marks) (90 minutes)

Masana Transport Ltd (“Masana”) is a transport and logistics company based in Kwakhethomthandayo,
Kwazulu-Natal. Masana has become one of the largest transportation and logistics companies in
Southern Africa. Masana is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and has a 30 June year
end. Masana’s presentation currency is ZAR.

The following relates to some of the transactions, assets, and liabilities of Masana for the year ended
30 June 20x23:

Debentures

On 1 July 20x22, Masana issued 100 000 debentures in the Egyptian Stock Exchange, for EGP4 300
000. The debentures bore a fixed coupon rate of 8% per annum, compounded annually. Masana paid
EGP172 000 transaction costs, in cash, on 1 July 20x22. The coupon interest rate is payable annually
in arrears on 30 June and the debentures are compulsory redeemable on 30 June 20x27, for EGP60
each.

These are the only debentures issued by Masana. They were issued with the intent to raise funds and
not to make any short-term profits. The accountant has determined that the fair value of the debentures
do not provide any more relevant information, nor does it prevent any accounting mismatch.

The debentures are Egyptian Pound denominated and all transactions related to the issued debentures
are settled in Egyptian Pounds.

The following dates and exchange rates are applicable:


Date Spot rate
EGP1 = R
1 July 20x22 .................................................................................................................... R0,58
30 June 20x23 ................................................................................................................. R0,52
Average exchange rate for the period 1 June 20x22 – 30 June 20x23 ............................. R0,64

Trans-Tech Division

Masana has a separate division that specialises in fleet tracking technologies, named the Trans-Tech
Division.

During the 20x23 financial year, a competitor entered the market and launched a fleet tracking solution
that was more efficient and cost effective than the tracking solutions offered by Masana. As a result,
there was a significant decline in the demand for the tracking solutions offered by Masana.

On 31 May 20x23, Masana’s board of directors made the decision to sell the Trans-Tech division due
to the declining competitive edge. Consequently, Masana’s directors decided to focus only on
transportation and logistics in future. On 31 May 20x23, all the requirements to be classified as held for
sale were met and management expected the sale to be concluded, in a single transaction by
31 December 20x23, for cash. On 31 May 20x23, the Trans-Tech division had a fair value less cost to
sell and value in use amounting to R2 350 000 and R2 400 000, respectively.

FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 5 (continued)

The carrying amount of the respective assets of the Trans-Tech division on 31 May 20x23, were as
follows:
R
I-track application ......................................................................................... Refer to note 1
Inventory (Net realisable value amounting to R250 000) ............................. 270 000
Trade and other receivables ....................................................................... 850 000

On year-end on 30 June 20x23, the carrying amount of the Trans-Tech division equalled the fair value
less cost to sell thereof.

Masana accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the cost model and amortisation is provided
for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Masana carries its inventory at the lower of its carrying amount and net realisable value.
Masana accounts for changes in accounting estimates in accordance with the reallocation method.

Note 1

During the 20x21 financial year, Masana commenced with a research and development project to
development a new tracking application called I-track. The application will provide real-time tracking
data such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS) locations and full-trip history on any vehicle with an
installed device. The application uses radio frequency and GPS tracking technology to detect and
counteract signal jamming.

The research of the I-track application commenced on the 1 October 20x20. On 1 March 20x21, the
board of directors determined that the I-track application satisfied all the criteria for an intangible asset
recognition and approved the development of the application. The development of the application was
concluded on 30 April 20x21.

Masana employed a software developer to work on the application during both the research and
development phase of the application. The software developer earns a monthly salary of R300 000.
During April 20x21, Masana consulted with Professor Web, an expert in application testing and paid her
a once-off consultation fee of R750 000, on 30 April 20x21.

Masana used an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software in the development and coding
of the I-track application. The IDE was acquired on 01 July 20x19, for R4 500 000. The IDE was
available for use as intended by management on the acquisition date and on this date the IDE had an
estimated useful life of 6 years and an insignificant residual value. On 1 July 20x20, management
estimated that the IDE had a remaining useful life of 4 years. The residual value of the I-track application
remained unchanged throughout the period.

The total electricity cost, directly attributable to both the research and development of the I-track
application amounted to R288 000 and was incurred evenly during the period.

On 1 May 20x21, the I-track application was available for use as intended by management. On this date
an estimated useful life of 10 years and a residual value of R325 000 was allocated to the I-track
application.
31
FAC3764/2024/Study pack 3

QUESTION 5 (continued)

On 31 May 20x23, the recoverable amount of the I-track application was correctly determined to amount
to R1 360 000.

Contract with Zamalek Coal Ltd (“Zamalek”)

On 1 January 20x23, Masana signed a contract with Zamalek to transport 10 000 tons of coal from Piet
Retief to the Richards Bay Port Terminal during the second quarter of the calendar year at R320 per
ton. The terms of the contract further stipulate that Masana would give Zamalek a 20% discount for any
future coal transportation services done during the third quarter of the calendar year. The contract
between Masana and Zamalek is a valid contract in terms of IFRS 15. Transport of the 10 000 tons coal
as agreed upon within the signed contract, was completed by Masana by the end of 30 June 20x23.

Masana intends to offer a 5% discount to all its customers during the third quarter of the calendar year
as part of a marketing strategy. In terms of the contract, Zamalek cannot use the 5% discount in addition
to the contractually stipulated 20% discount offer.

On 1 January 20x23, Masana estimated that Zamalek will require transportation services for 15 000
tons of coal at a price of R395 per ton during the third quarter of the calendar year. In addition, Masana
estimated that there is a 90% likelihood that Zamalek will use the discount offered in the signed contract.

Fleet of trucks

On 1 July 20x20, Masana acquired a fleet of 5 trucks to use in its operations for R1 450 000, each. The
purchase price of the entire fleet was paid in full, and the fleet was ready for use as intended by
management on acquisition date. Each truck was estimated to have a 5-year useful life and an
insignificant residual value. The estimated useful life and residual value remained unchanged
throughout the period.

On 1 July 20x21, Masana’s directors decided to lease out the fleet of trucks to Dynamo Trans Ltd
(“Dynamo”) from 1 July 20x21 until 30 June 20x23, due to the continued strike at the Richards Bay Port
Terminal. According to the lease agreement, Masana would receive lease payments amounting to
R1 980 000, paid annually in arrears. The lease payments will increase by 10% each year. Ownership
of the trucks will not transfer to Dynamo at the end of the lease period. Masana incurred R250 000 initial
direct costs at the inception of the lease.

Masana appointed an IFRS specialist during the 20x23 financial year to ensure that all accounting
transactions are accounted for in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In a
meeting held with the junior accountant of Masana, the IFRS specialist discovered that the entity has
been incorrectly accounting for the lease with Dynamo. The junior accountant confirmed that she
accounted for the lease since inception thereof, as follows:
• No trucks were derecognised;
• No depreciation was recognised on the trucks from 1 July 20x21;
• Lease payments of R 1 980 000 was recognised as income in both the 20x22 and 20x23 financial
years; and
• The initial direct costs incurred at inception of the lease were immediately recognised as an expense.

Masana accounts for vehicles in accordance with the cost model and depreciation is provided for on the
on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.

The IFRS specialist requested the junior accountant to prepare a correction of error note in relation to
the accounting of the lease between Masana and Dynamo and the following note was presented by the
junior accountant at a finance team meeting:

Employee matters

For the financial year ended 30 June 20x23, Masana’s total annual net salary amounted to R3 500 000,
whilst Masana withheld a total of R650 000 employee tax payable to the South African Receiver of
Revenue (SARS). In a recent executive management meeting held on the 3 July 20x23, the Chief
Financial Officer, a registered CA(SA) proposed that the employee tax payable to SARS withheld for
the month ended 30 June 20x23, should be used to fund the performance bonus of the executive
management. He added that it is unlikely that SARS will query the non-declaration and non-payment of
the withheld employee tax if it does not happen frequently.

Assumptions
All amounts are material, and you may ignore the implications of Value-Added Tax (VAT).

Taxation
The South-African normal tax rate is 27%. The capital gains tax inclusion rate is 80%.
The junior accountant correctly calculated all applicable tax bases.
The South African Revenue Service does not issue revised assessments on prior years.
