Determining the correct accounting treatment for warranty obligations and legal provisions in Kamara LTD’s financial statements.

Kamara LTD manufactures and sells health equipment and has a financial year-end of March 2024. It offers a one-year guarantee for equipment supplied directly to clients. One of the company’s clients is suing the business at the financial year-end for failing to fix equipment within the guarantee period. The company argues that the issue is due to the client disregarding usage instructions, and Kamara LTD believes it is not liable.

Discuss how the environmental liability for LALUPON Plc, arising from hazardous pollution, should be accounted for in its financial statements.

LALUPON Plc owns a piece of land in a residential area. PONJEB Ltd has leased the piece of land from LALUPON Plc and is using it to store and dispense gas. The Federal government has announced its intention to enact environmental legislation requiring property owners to accept liability for environmental pollution. As a result, LALUPON Plc introduced a hazardous policy and has begun to apply the policy to its properties.

LALUPON Plc has had a report of a gas leakage and subsequent fire outbreak which damaged surrounding properties, but no life was lost. LALUPON Plc has no right of recourse against PONJEB Ltd or its insurance company for the clean-up and compensations to owners of properties destroyed. At April 30, 2014, it is virtually certain that draft legislation requiring a clean-up of the land and payment of compensations to victims will be enacted.

Required:
Discuss how the above events should be accounted for in the financial statements of LALUPON Plc.

CR – May 2019 – L3 – Q5 – Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11)

Account for a joint arrangement and decommissioning obligations under IFRS 11 and handle the provision for a major overhaul under IAS 37.

a. LPG Plc. is a publicly traded entity on the Nigerian Stock Exchange involved in the production of and trading in natural gas in Nigeria. LPG Plc. jointly owns a gas storage facility with another entity, Tan Oil Nigeria Limited. Both parties extract gas from onshore gas fields in the Niger Delta, which they own and operate independently from each other. LPG owns 55% of the gas storage facility and Tan Oil Nigeria owns 45%. Services and costs are shared between them according to their percentage holding, however, decisions regarding the storage facility require unanimous agreement of the parties. The gas storage facility is pressurised so that the gas is pushed out when extracted. When the gas pressure is reduced to a certain level, the remaining gas is irrecoverable and remains in the gas storage facility until it is decommissioned. The Nigeria law requires the decommissioning of the storage facility at the end of its useful life. LPG Plc. wishes to know how to treat the agreement with Tan Oil Nigeria Limited, including any obligation or possible obligation arising on the gas storage facility.

NB: Ignore accounting for the irrecoverable gas.

b. LPG purchased a major gas plant on 1 January, 2018 and the Directors estimated that a major overhaul is required every two years. The costs of the overhaul are approximately ₦25 million, which comprises ₦15 million for parts and equipment and ₦10 million for labour. The Directors proposed to accrue the cost of the overhaul over the two years of operations up to that date and create a provision for the expenditure.

Required:
Discuss, with reference to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), how LPG Plc should account for the agreement in (a) above (11 marks) and the transactions in (b) for its year ended 31 August, 2018. (4 marks)

Calculate provisions and charges for emission modifications in 2015 and 2016 for Gama Plastic Limited.

Gama Plastic Limited owns a number of plastic recycling plants in various parts of the country which supply most of the raw material used by Gama Plastic Limited for its production of household and corporate plastic products.

On December 1, 2015, the directors of Gama Plastic Limited announced publicly that it intends to voluntarily reduce the level of harmful emissions from its recycling plants through modifications of the plants.

Date Amount (N’000)
December 31, 2016 100,000
December 31, 2017 80,000
December 31, 2018 140,000

No contract was signed until 2016, but Gama Plastic Limited prides itself on its excellent public image and has a well-known reputation for meeting both legal and constructive obligations.

The directors of Gama Plastic Limited believe that it is appropriate to use discounted cash flow techniques and that an appropriate rate would be 10%, with the following discount factors:

Year PV Factor
1 0.909
2 0.826
3 0.751
4 0.683
5 0.620
6 0.564

Required:

Assuming the actual cash cost of the modification is a reliable estimate, calculate the provisions that should be included in the statement of financial position and the charges to the statement of profit or loss of Gama Plastic Limited in respect of the proposal for each of the years 2015 and 2016.

Explain criteria for recognizing provisions, differentiate between provisions and contingent liabilities, and apply IAS 37 to specific company scenarios.

a. IAS – 37 applies to all provisions and contingencies apart from those covered by the specific requirement of other standards.

Therefore, provisions differ from other liabilities because there is uncertainty about timing or amount of the future cashflow required to settle the liability.

Required:

  1. Explain the criteria for recognition of provisions in the financial statements and distinguish between provisions and contingent liabilities.
    (6 Marks)

b. The following activities took place in THREE different companies:

  1. Otapiapia Plc: A Rat Trap Company based in Nigeria has just secured exportation of rat killers to South Africa. The advertising slogan of the rat killers is “KILL the BLACKS.” A South African anti-racist movement with a representative in Nigeria is claiming N15,000,000 from the company as damages because the advertising slogan allegedly compromises the dignity of black people. The company’s legal representative believes that the success of the claim will depend on the judge who presides over the case. They estimate, however, that there is a 70 percent probability that the claim will be thrown out and a 30 percent probability that it will succeed.
  2. Ire-Akari Motors Plc: A Nigerian company that specialises in the manufacture of “made-in-Nigeria cars.” During the current financial year, 100 cars have been completed and sold. During testing, a defect was found in their steering mechanism. All 100 customers that bought the cars were duly informed of the defect and were told to bring their cars back to have the defects repaired at no cost. All the customers have indicated that this is the only remedy they require. The estimated cost of the recall is N10.5m. The manufacturer of the steering mechanism, a quoted company with sufficient funds, has accepted responsibility for the defect and has undertaken to reimburse Ire-Akari Motors Plc for all costs that it might incur.
  3. Abeokuta Electricity Company Plc: This company sold a number of electricity transformers with a warranty in the year ended December 31, 2015. At the beginning of the year, the provisions for warranty stood at N5,625,000. A number of claims have been settled during the period for N3,000,000. At the year-end, there were unsettled claims for 300 customers. Experience is that 40% of the claims submitted do not fulfil warranty conditions and can be defended at no cost. The average cost of settling other claims will be N52,500 each.

Required: Explain how the matters in (b)(i) to (b)(iii) above should be accounted for in the financial statements of the three companies using figures to illustrate your points where appropriate.
