CR – May 2018 – L3 – Q2c – Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement Corporate reporting

Show the accounting treatment for a convertible loan note under IFRS 9 for income statement and financial position.

Alfa Limited issued a GH¢5,000,000 18% convertible loan note at par on 1 July 2015 with interest payable annually in arrears. Three years later, on 30 June 2018, the loan note becomes convertible into equity shares on the basis of GH¢100 of loan note for 50 equity shares, or it may be redeemed at par in cash at the option of the loan note holder. The Financial Accountant of Alfa Limited has observed that the use of a convertible loan note was preferable to a non-convertible loan note as the latter would have required an interest rate of 24% in order to make it attractive to investors.

The present value of GH¢1 receivable at the end of the year, based on discount rates of 18% and 24%, can be taken as:

Year 18% 24%
1 0.847 0.806
2 0.718 0.650
3 0.609 0.524

Required:
Show the accounting treatments for the convertible loan note in Alfa Limited’s:
i) income statement for the years ended 30 June 2016, 2017, and 2018. (3 marks)
ii) statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, 2017, and 2018. (4 marks)

MA – Nov 2020 – L2 – Q2b – Budgetary Control, Cash Budgets and Master Budgets

Prepare various budgets and an income statement for October 2019 for Mercury Company’s TomaCan product.

Mercury Company’s management wants to prepare budgets for one of its products, TomaCan, for October 2019.

The firm sells the product for GH¢75 per unit and has the following expected sales (in units) for these months in 2019:

July August September October November December
6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 11,000

The production process requires 5 kilos of Atadwe and 3 kilos of Ginger. The firm’s policy is to maintain an ending finished goods inventory each month equal to 15% of the following month’s budgeted sales, but in no case less than 1,300 units. All materials inventories are to be maintained at 10% of the production needs for the next month, but not to exceed 3,000 kilos. The firm expects all inventories at the end of September to be within the guidelines. The purchase department expects the materials to cost GH¢1.75 per kilo for Ginger and GH¢5.00 per kilo for Atadwe respectively.

The production process requires direct labor at two Skill Levels (SL). The rate for labor at SL1 is GH¢45 per hour, and for SL2 is GH¢25 per hour. SL1 can process one batch of TomaCan per hour, while SL2 uses double the time of SL1 for the same output. Each batch consists of 10 units.

Variable manufacturing overhead is GH¢100 per batch plus GH¢75 per direct labor-hour. Fixed production overhead is GH¢51,240. It is the plan of Mercury Company to spend a third of variable and fixed production overhead costs on selling and administration expenses. The company is in the 25% tax bracket but enjoys a rebate of 50% because of its location. The company uses an actual cost system. The unit cost of production in October is the same as that of September.

Required: On the basis of the preceding data and projections, prepare the following budgets:

i) Production budget for October (in units).
ii) Direct materials purchases budget for October (in kilos).
iii) Direct materials purchases budget for October (in Cedis).
iv) Direct manufacturing labor budget for October (in Cedis).
v) Income statement for the month of October 2019.
