CR – May 2015 – L3 – Q6 – Ethical Issues in Corporate Reporting

Analyze the financial reporting needs and efficiency challenges of not-for-profit organizations, including asset valuation at cost vs. fair value.

Question

NICE & DICE

NICE & DICE is a large charity located in Abuja and set up to provide support and assistance to disadvantaged people in major cities. Most of the charity’s income comes from members of the public through direct cash collections and regular monthly payments from donors. The other source of funding comes from government bodies who give grants to support specific projects that are recognized as being beneficial to the public good.

The charity publishes a detailed annual report. Performance is described largely in terms of an analysis of income received and the manner in which it has been spent. The trustees are concerned that this type of analysis does not really reflect the performance of the charity. They would like to report performance in terms of the work done rather than in terms of cash inflows and outflows. They want donors to appreciate how efficient the charity is.

The statement of financial position of the charity is a typical one for a large organization. NICE & DICE owns numerous properties in Abuja, some of which have been owned for many years. These are shown at historical cost less depreciation. The trustees do not wish to revalue the properties because this will create the impression that the charity is wealthy and that it does not require further financial support.

Required:
(a) Prepare a report to the trustees of Nice & Dice advising them on the reasons why specialized entities are required to publish detailed information about their activities. (5 Marks)
(b) Analyze the problems of quantifying and reporting the efficiency of not-for-profit organizations such as Nice & Dice. (5 Marks)
(c) Discuss the decision of the trustees to value its properties at cost less depreciation rather than at fair value. (5 Marks)

AT – Nov 2016 – L3 – SB – Q4 – Tax Planning and Management

Define fair value, determine fair value for a product in principal or non-principal markets, and compute fair value of land under IFRS 13.

Question

a. Prior to the advent of IFRS 13, many standards such as IAS 16, IAS 38, IAS 40, and IAS 39, among others, required the use of fair value. These various requirements have been harmonized with the introduction of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Required:
Define fair value in accordance with IFRS 13. (2 Marks)

b. One of the companies formally operating in Nigeria that had recently relocated its operations to Ghana as a result of the challenging business environment in Nigeria has access to both Lagos and Accra markets for its product. The product sells at slightly different prices (in naira) in the two active markets. An entity enters into transactions in both markets and can access the price in those markets for the product at the measurement date as follows:

Market	Lagos Market (₦’000)	Accra Market (₦’000)
Sale Price	260	250
Transaction Cost	(30)	(10)
Transport Cost	(20)	(20)
Net Price Received	210	220

Required:
i. Briefly explain the principal market of an asset in accordance with IFRS 13 and determine what fair value would be used to measure the sale of the above product if the Lagos market were the principal market.

(4 Marks)

ii. How is fair value determined in the absence of a principal market and what fair value would be used to measure the sale of the above product if no principal market could be identified? (4 Marks)

c. Megida Plc, a public limited liability company, has just acquired some hectares of land in Abuja earmarked by the government for an economic empowerment program of citizens given the harsh economic environment in Nigeria and so is only meant for commercial purposes. The fair value of the land if used for commercial purposes is ₦100 million. If the land is used for commercial purposes, it is expected that it will result in reducing unemployment. This will attract a tax credit annually, which is based upon the lower of 15% of the fair market value of the land or ₦10,000,000 at the current tax rate. The current tax rate as fixed by the government is 20%.

Megida Plc has determined that, given the nature of Abuja’s land, market participants would consider that it could have an alternative use for residential purposes. The fair value of the land Megida Plc has just acquired for residential purposes before associated costs is estimated to be ₦148 million. In order to transform the land from its commercial purposes to residential use, there are estimated legal costs of ₦4,000,000, a project viability analysis cost of ₦6,000,000, and costs of demolition of the commercial buildings of ₦2,000,000.

In addition, permission for residential use has not been formally given by Abuja Municipal Authority. This has created uncertainty in the minds of market participants. Consequently, the market participants have indicated that the fair value of the land, after the above costs, would be discounted by 20% because of the risk of not obtaining the planning permission from Abuja Municipal Authority.

Required:
Discuss the way in which Megida Plc should compute the fair value of the Abuja land with reference to the principles of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

CR – May 2016 – L3 – Q4c – Share-Based Payments (IFRS 2)

Discuss how the SARs granted by Yerokun Ltd should be accounted for under IFRS 2 and IFRS 13 from the grant date to April 30, 2014.

Question

On May 1, 2011, Yerokun Limited granted 500 share appreciation rights (SARs) to its 300 managers. All of the rights vested on April 30, 2013, but they can be exercised from May 1, 2013, to April 30, 2015. At the grant date, the value of each SAR was ₦10 and it was estimated that 5% of the managers would leave during the vesting period. The fair value of the SARs is as follows:

Date	Fair Value of SAR
April 30, 2012	₦9
April 30, 2013	₦11
April 30, 2014	₦12

All of the managers who were expected to leave employment did not leave the company as expected before April 30, 2013. On April 30, 2015, 60 managers exercised their options when the intrinsic value of the right was ₦10.50 and were paid.

Yerokun Limited is confused as to whether to account for SARs under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment or IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and would like to be advised as to how the SARs should have been accounted for from the grant date to April 30, 2014.

Question

Kantala Limited is a company based in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. It uses the revaluation model for its non-current assets. Kantala Limited has several plots of farmland which are unproductive.

The company feels that the land would have more value if it were used for residential purposes.

There are several potential purchasers for the land, but planning permission has not yet been granted by the Abeokuta Planning Authority for use of the land for residential purposes.

However, preliminary enquiries with the planning authority seem to indicate that the planning permission may be granted. Additionally, the Ogun State Government has recently indicated that some agricultural land should be used for residential purposes.

Evaluate fair value relevance versus historical cost and explain valuation techniques under IFRS 13.

Question

a. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. It focuses on assets and liabilities and on the exit (selling) price. It also takes into account market conditions at the measurement date. In other words, fair value measurement looks at the amount for which the holders of an asset could sell it and the amount which the holder of a liability would have to pay to transfer it.

i. Discuss the view that fair value is a more relevant measure to use in corporate reporting than historical cost. (4 Marks)

ii. Discuss the valuation techniques in fair value measurement in accordance with IFRS 13. (4 Marks)

Discuss IFRS 13’s principles in computing fair value for land with alternative uses in Abuja.

Question

Megida Plc, a public limited liability company, has acquired hectares of land in Abuja designated for economic empowerment programs, intended for commercial use. The fair value of the land for commercial purposes is estimated at N100 million. Utilizing the land for commercial purposes would contribute to reducing unemployment and attract an annual tax credit, which is based on the lower of 15% of the fair market value or N10,000,000, at a 20% tax rate.

Megida Plc has also considered an alternative use of the land for residential purposes, a choice market participants may support. The fair value of the land for residential purposes is estimated to be N148 million, excluding certain associated costs such as:

Legal costs: N4,000,000
Project viability analysis: N6,000,000
Demolition of commercial structures: N2,000,000

Due to uncertainty in obtaining residential use permission from the Abuja Municipal Authority, market participants would discount the fair value by 20%.

Explain the classification and measurement differences between investment properties and property, plant, and equipment.

Question

You are the Financial Controller of Uchena Nigeria plc. The company was established about 15 years ago. At the last annual general meeting of the company, a new Managing Director was appointed.

The new Managing Director is a non-finance executive with very little knowledge of accounting. He has requested for the past five years financial statements of the company for review.

He has prepared a list of issues based on his review as follows:

When I look at the statement of financial position of one of the past financial statements, one of the categories of non-current asset is investment properties and another category is property, plant, and equipment, in which all other properties are included. It is certain that the company invested in properties, so why do you have two categories for them in the statement of financial position? How did you decide what goes where?
A note to the financial statements states that investment properties are measured at their fair values and not depreciated. Don’t all non-current assets have to be depreciated over their estimated useful lives?
Another note to the financial statements states that property included in the property, plant, and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation rather than at fair value. Shouldn’t all properties be measured in financial statements on a consistent basis?
Finally, I can’t see from the financial statements where gains or losses relating to the measurement of investment properties are included; the profit statement includes two main components: profit or loss and other comprehensive income; where would the gains or losses go? Presumably, the treatment of gains or losses is the same for any non-current assets, which one is measured at fair value?

Required:

Provide answers to the issues raised by the Managing Director. You should justify your answers with reference to the relevant IFRS. (12 Marks)

Profit for the period	GH¢74,000	GH¢12,000	GMD116,000

Additional relevant information:
i) Bolga Ltd purchased 80% of Navrongo Ltd’s three million GH¢5 ordinary shares for GH¢12 million two years ago. At the acquisition date, the carrying value of Navrongo’s net assets was GH¢10 million, and this was deemed to be the same as their fair value. The non-controlling interest was measured using the proportion of net assets method. Goodwill on acquisition of Navrongo is not impaired. On 31 October 2019, Bolga Ltd sold one million, four hundred and forty thousand of its shares in Navrongo Ltd for GH¢13 million. The fair value of the interest retained was GH¢19 million. The retained earnings of Navrongo Ltd was GH¢5 million as at April 30, 2019. The only entry posted in Bolga Ltd’s individual financial statements was the GH¢13 million cash received. This was debited to the bank account and the credit posted to the suspense account.

ii) On 1 May 2019, Bolga Ltd acquired 60% of Serrekunda Ltd’s one million GMD1 ordinary shares for GMD284 million. Serrekunda is a Gambian-based company with Gambian Dalasi (GMD) as its currency. The non-controlling interest at acquisition was valued at GMD116 million using the fair value method. At 1 May 2019, the carrying amount of Serrekunda Ltd’s net assets was GMD240 million but the fair value was GMD280 million. The excess in the fair value was due to a brand with a remaining useful economic life of 5 years at the date of acquisition.

On 30 April 2020, it was determined that goodwill arising on the purchase of Serrekunda Ltd was impaired by GMD16 million. Goodwill impairments are charged as administrative expenses.

iii) On 28 February 2020, Navrongo Ltd paid a dividend of GH¢2 million to its ordinary shareholders.

iv) On 1 June 2019, Bolga Ltd started construction of a new building project and financed this out of its general borrowings. The construction was completed on 30 April 2020 at a total cost of GH¢20 million, excluding interest on borrowings. Bolga Ltd has had the following loans outstanding for the whole financial year:

10% bank loan: GH¢28,000
8% loan notes: GH¢12,000

All the interest for the year has been expensed to the statement of profit or loss. None of the loan notes are held by any other companies within Bolga Ltd.

v) On 1 November 2019, Bolga Ltd granted 20,000 share options to each of its 100 managers. These options will vest on 31 October 2021 if the managers are still employed. However, five managers had left the company by 30 April 2020, and it is expected that another five will leave by 31 October 2021. The fair value of the share options was GH¢3.10 on 1 November 2019, and GH¢10 on 30 April 2020. There have not been any accounting entries posted in relation to this scheme.

vi) The following exchange rates are relevant:

GMD: GH¢1
- May 1 2019: 10.0
- April 30 2020: 8.0
- Average for the year ended 30 April 2020: 9.2
