The Accountant of Aba who is not a Chartered Accountant credited the value of the building to revenue. It has been advised that the recognition of this transaction should be done in line with the provisions of IAS 20: Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. It is the group’s policy to recognise grants relating to assets as deferred income.

v) Goodwill was reviewed for impairment at the end of the reporting period and had suffered an impairment loss equivalent to 10% of goodwill at acquisition which is to be treated as an operating expense.

CR – Nov 2021 – L3 – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10)

Prepare consolidated financial position of Makoko Group for the year ended Dec 31, 2021, and discuss accounting implications of significant influence.

Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited is a global merchant of cash crops. A policy of strategic acquisitions over the years has placed the company in a position to source for export products competitively. The lockdown arising from the recent pandemic posed a significant challenge for the export of their products throughout the year 2020. At a board meeting to review the performance of the company for that year and discuss the impact of the pandemic, the Managing Director noted the significant drop in the general performance indices. In order to get a greater market presence and higher demand locally, the board decided to acquire the following investments on January 1, 2021:

  • 60% of the equity share of Ojodu Limited;
  • 50% of 10% loan notes of Ojodu Ltd at par;
  • 40% stake in the ordinary shares of Egbeda Confectioneries Limited.

In the opinion of the board, both Ojodu Limited and Egbeda Confectioneries Limited are the biggest local customers of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited and a control through shareholding would give the investing company greater stake in the operational decisions of the investee companies. Importantly, it would also boost revenue by allowing unrestricted access to local markets. It is believed that this will forestall any adverse impact of further lockdowns that may hinder export sales in the future.

The draft financial statements of the companies for the year are as follows:

Statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021

Additional Information:

  1. Makoko Limited paid N90 million for the acquisition of Ojodu Limited when the retained earnings of Ojodu Limited were N13 million.
  2. The fair value of Ojodu’s freehold property was N6.5 million higher than the carrying amount as at the date of acquisition. This valuation has not been reflected in the books of Ojodu Limited.
  3. Makoko Limited paid N41 million for the shareholding in Egbeda Limited when the retained earnings of Egbeda Limited were N12 million.
  4. An impairment test as at December 31, 2021 showed that goodwill was impaired by N3.5 million and the investment in Egbeda Limited was impaired by N0.8 million.
  5. During the year, Makoko Limited sold products to Egbeda Limited at a price of N8 million. These goods had cost Makoko Limited N5 million. Half of the goods were still in the inventory of Egbeda Limited as at December 31, 2021.
  6. The companies issued share capital has not changed since the date of acquisition.
  7. No dividends were paid during the year.
  8. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are to be measured at the appropriate proportion of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets.

Required: a. Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Makoko Group for the year ended December 31, 2021. (20 Marks)

b. The Directors of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited are concerned about getting significant influence, if not absolute control, of all entities they intend to buy into. The five-year strategic plan of the company (2020 – 2024) focuses on having control of the cash crops segment of the agribusiness sector of the economy. This is in order to make them ready to roll out the next developmental phase of the business, which is to migrate from exporting raw products to finished products for industrial and household use.

Towards this goal, the board requires the Group Accountant to make a presentation on the accounting implications of gaining significant influence in another entity.

Required: Discuss the issues involved in the requirements of the Board as specified above. (5 Marks)

c. A friend to the Chief Accountant of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited, who is a consultant to Ojodu Limited and Egbeda Confectionaries Limited, is requesting for information on the new acquisitions from his friend, the Chief Accountant.

Required: Identify the ethical issues involved in the above scenarios and their implications. (5 Marks)

FR – May 2019 – L2 – Q3 – Preparation of Financial Statements

Preparation of Statement of Profit or Loss and Statement of Financial Position for Frafraha Ltd as at 31 March 2018.

The following trial balance was extracted from the books of Frafraha Ltd (Frafraha) on 31 March 2018:

The following notes may be relevant:

  1. Frafraha applies the revaluation model of IAS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment to its land and buildings. A revaluation took place on 31 March 2017 and resulted in the fair value of GH¢62 million shown above. This figure included GH¢22 million in respect of land. The buildings were deemed to have a 40-year useful economic life remaining at that date. No depreciation has yet been charged for the accounting period ended on 31 March 2018. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales. On 31 March 2018, a further revaluation took place, which revealed a fair value of GH¢24 million for the land and GH¢41 million for the buildings. This is to be recorded in the books in accordance with the accounting policy of Frafraha.
  2. Plant & equipment is being depreciated at 25% per annum straight line from the date of purchase to the date of sale. On 1 October 2017, a piece of plant was purchased at a cost of GH¢12 million. This replaced another piece of plant which had cost GH¢8 million some years ago and was fully depreciated prior to 31 March 2017. A trade-in allowance of GH¢1 million was received for the old plant. The only entries made to record this transaction were to credit cash and debit suspense with the net payment of GH¢11 million. No other item of plant was more than three years old at 1 April 2017.
  3. The inventories figure in the trial balance is the opening inventories balance measured on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Due to a change in Frafraha’s business, the company decided to change its accounting policy with respect to inventories to a weighted average basis, as follows:
Date FIFO (GH¢’000) Weighted Average (GH¢’000)
31 March 2016 33,200 30,300

CR – Aug 2022 – L3 – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements

This question requires the preparation of a consolidated statement of financial position for Labone Group, considering investments in subsidiaries and intercompany transactions.

Below are the summarised statements of financial position of three entities: Labone Ltd (Labone), Nungua Ltd (Nungua), and Teshie Ltd (Teshie) as at 31 December 2021.

Statements of financial position as at 31 December 2021 Labone Nungua Teshie
Assets GH¢million GH¢million GH¢million
Non-current assets
Property, plant, and equipment 1,150 800 400
Investment in Nungua 560 – –
Investment in Teshie 60 – –
Other investment 140 – –
Total non-current assets 1,910 800 400
Current assets 490 200 100
Total assets 2,400 1,000 500
Equity and liabilities
Equity
Equity shares of GH¢1 each 400 320 200
Retained earnings 1,225 440 200
Other reserves 95 – –
Total equity 1,720 760 400
Non-current liabilities 300 80 40
Current liabilities 380 160 60
Total equity and liabilities 2,400 1,000 500

Additional information:

i) On 1 January 2018, Labone acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Nungua for cash consideration of GH¢560 million. At the same date, Labone acquired 70% of the equity share capital of Teshie for cash consideration. Labone has correctly recorded both transactions. At this time, the balances on the retained earnings, the fair values of non-controlling interests, and fair values of the identifiable net assets of Nungua and Teshie were as follows:

Nungua Teshie
Retained earnings GH¢300 million GH¢120 million
Fair value of non-controlling interests GH¢140 million GH¢80 million
Fair value of net assets GH¢640 million GH¢310 million

Any difference between the acquisition date fair value and book value of the identifiable net assets of both investees was due to land. Fair value adjustments should be deemed as temporary differences which are subject to tax of 20%. The fair values of identifiable net assets above are not yet adjusted for tax. Shortly after acquisition, Teshie incorporated the fair values (together with any tax effects) into its separate financial statements, but Nungua had not yet incorporated the fair values into its separate financial statements.

ii) On 1 October 2021, Labone disposed of 40% out of the 70% equity shares of Teshie for GH¢220 million. Labone credited the proceeds received to its “Investment in Teshie” and debited “Cash.” At this time, it was determined that the fair value of the remaining interest was GH¢180 million. Following the sale, Labone could only exert significant influence over Teshie.

iii) During the financial year, Labone transferred goods worth GH¢5 million every month to Teshie. By 31 December 2021, Teshie had not sold the last two months’ deliveries and had included them in its year-end inventory. Labone charges three-seventh (3/7) mark-up on all sales.

iv) Labone’s receivable balance includes GH¢12 million owed by Teshie in respect of the last three months’ sales. This balance agreed with the corresponding payables in Teshie’s financial statements.

v) In its separate financial statements, Labone has accounted for its investments in both Nungua and Teshie at cost. It is the policy of Labone group to measure goodwill in full and to record non-controlling interests at fair value at acquisition. Neither goodwill of Nungua nor that of Teshie has suffered any impairment since acquisition.

vi) Labone has two internal business segments: Construction Division and Merchandise Division. On 1 July 2021, the Construction Division entered into a 1-year fixed price contract to construct an ultra-modern office complex at a contract sum of GH¢60 million for a district government agency located in the Eastern zone of Ghana. Total estimated costs at the time the contract was concluded were GH¢52 million. Actual costs incurred up to 31 December 2021 amounted to GH¢32 million. At 31 December 2021, the Directors of Labone revised its total construction costs on the project to GH¢64 million. No progress payments have been received from the agency. The only entries made have been to include the costs incurred in Labone’s inventory. Labone measures progress to completion on the basis of cost.

vii) During the current year, Nungua and Teshie reported profits after tax of GH¢48 million and GH¢40 million respectively. Unless otherwise stated, it may be assumed that profits accrued evenly over the year and that no dividends were paid during the year.

(Note: Deferred tax adjustment should be ignored, unless otherwise indicated.)

Required:

Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position of the Labone Group as at 31 December 2021.
