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.

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.

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.

Advise on measuring the fair value of land for residential purposes in financial statements.

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.

CR – May 2021 – L3 – Q4 – Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13)

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

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.

Required:

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)

CR – Nov 2016 – L3 – Q4c – Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13)

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

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%.

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. (10 Marks)

CR – Nov 2022 – L3 – Q3 – Impairment of Assets (IAS 36)

Evaluate impairment of a CGU for Evo Plc, considering fair value, cost to sell, and cash flows.

Evo Plc acquired a cash-generating unit (CGU) several years ago. The directors of Evo Plc were concerned that the value of the CGU had declined because of a reduction in sales due to new competitors entering the market. At February 28, 2021, the carrying amounts of the assets in the CGU before any impairment testing were:

Asset Carrying Amount (N’m)
Goodwill 3
Property, Plant and Equipment 10
Other Assets 19
Total 32

The fair values of the property, plant, and equipment and the other assets at February 28, 2021, were N10 million and N17 million, respectively, and their costs to sell were N100,000 and N300,000, respectively. The CGU’s cash flow forecasts for the next five years are as follows:

Date (Year Ended) Pre-tax Cash Flow (N’m) Post-tax Cash Flow (N’m)

28 February 2025 3 1.5
28 February 2026 13 10

The pre-tax discount rate for the CGU is 8%, and the post-tax discount rate is 6%.

FR – May 2021 – L2 – Q2 – Impairment of Assets (IAS 36)

Analyze asset sale due to privatization, calculate impairment, and address valuation criteria per IAS 36.

As a result of privatisation and commercialisation exercise currently going on in the country, the Ministry of Transport sold the assets and liabilities of the newly constructed standard gauge railway to a private company known as Stalus Rail Limited (SRL) to ensure smooth operations of the railway services by freeing it from government bureaucracy.

The summarised extracts of the statement of financial position at fair value of SRL on January 1, 2019, reflecting the terms and conditions of the sales agreement of the Transport Ministry are as follows:

N’m Assets
Goodwill 150,000
Operating licence 900,000
Property – Train stations and land 225,000
Rail tracks and coaches 225,000
Two (2) train engines 750,000
Total Assets 2,250,000

Liabilities:

  • Sundry liabilities: Nil

The operating licence is for a ten-year period issued on January 1, 2019, by the Transport Ministry and is stated at cost. The carrying value of the property and rail track and coaches is based on value in use, while the engines are valued at their net selling prices.

On February 1, 2019, one of the train engines got damaged due to a technical fault from the manufacturer and was completely destroyed. The sale of the assets to SRL was without recourse to the Transport Ministry or the manufacturer of the engines.

In view of this, it was estimated that there would be reduced passenger capacity, and the estimated value in use of the whole train service business of SRL was assessed at N1,500 billion.

The number of passengers after one of the engines was damaged was below expectation, even allowing for the reduced capacity. Consequently, the value in use of SRL rail services was re-assessed on March 31, 2019, at N1,350 billion. On this date, SRL received an offer of N675 billion from Papaya Railway Services Limited (PRSL) for the operating licence (since it is transferable). The realisable value of the other assets has not changed significantly.

Required:

a. Draft a memo addressed to the MD of Stalus Rail Limited (SRL) explaining the basis of allocating an impairment loss to the assets of a cash-generating unit in accordance with IAS 36 on impairment of assets.
(6 Marks)

b. Calculate the carrying amount of the assets of SRL Limited as at February 1, 2019, and March 1, 2019.
(10 Marks)

c. Explain TWO conditions that must exist before an impairment loss can be reversed.
