This question relates to the impairment test of an asset, applying IAS 36.

Due to a change in Pusiga Ltd’s production plans, an item of machinery with a carrying value of GH¢11 million at 31 December 2017 (after adjusting for depreciation for the year) may be impaired due to a change in use. An impairment test conducted on 31 December 2017 revealed its fair value less cost of disposal to be GH¢5 million. The machine is now expected to generate an annual net income of GH¢2 million for the next three years at which point the asset would be sold for GH¢2.4 million. An appropriate discount rate is 10%. Pusiga charges depreciation at 20% on a reducing balance method on machinery.

Note:

  • The present value of ordinary annuity of GH¢1 at 10% for one year, two years, and three years is 0.909, 1.736, and 2.487 respectively.
  • The present value of GH¢1 at 10% for one year, two years, and three years is 0.909, 0.826, and 0.751 respectively.

Required:
In accordance with IAS 36: Impairment of Assets, explain with justification the required accounting treatment in the financial statements of Pusiga Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2017.

MA – May 2019 – L2 – Q1a – Decision making techniques

Assess the financial impact of purchasing a new machine on a manufacturing company’s profitability.

Hukportie Ltd is a manufacturer of product “Okwada” which is sold for GH¢5 per unit. Variable costs of production are currently GH¢3 per unit, and fixed costs excluding depreciation is GH¢350,000. The current machine which was purchased for GH¢120,000 has a written down value of GH¢20,000 and a resale value of GH¢12,000. This can however be used for the next four years.

A new machine is available which would cost GH¢90,000. This could be used to make product “Okwada” for a variable cost of only GH¢2.50 per unit. Fixed costs, however, would increase by GH¢7,500 per annum as a direct consequence of purchasing the machine. The machine would have an expected life of 4 years and a resale value after that time of GH¢8,000. Sales of product Okwada are estimated to be 75,000 units per annum.

Hukportie limited expects to earn at least 12% per annum from its investments. Taxation and depreciation should be ignored.

Required:

Advise whether Hukportie Ltd should purchase the new machine. (10 marks)
