Part One

Daisy Ltd has a net profit after tax of $3 400 000 for the year ending 30 June 2012.  For the entire financial year Daisy Ltd had two million $1.00 cumulative preference shares on issue which provide dividends at a rate of 10% per year.  The preference share dividends were not treated as part of interest expense.

At 1 July 2011 Daisy Ltd had 1 800 000 fully paid up shares on issue.  On 1 October 2011 a further 200 000 fully paid ordinary shares were issued at an issue price of $5 per share.  On 1 May 2012 Daisy Ltd made a 1 for 4 bonus issue of ordinary shares.  The last sale price of an ordinary share before the bonus issue was $5.50.  The basic earnings per share for the year ending 30 June 2011 was $2 per share.

Required

(i)            Calculate the earnings per share for the year ending 30 June 2012.  Round number of shares to the nearest whole number and show all calculations.

(ii)          What is the comparative earnings per share for the previous year to be reported in the 2012 financial reports?  Show workings.

(iii)        Explain briefly how your answer to this question would differ had there been a rights issue as opposed to a bonus issue of shares.

Note:

The formula for the adjustment factor is as follows:

	Adjustment factor =	Px
		Po
	where: Px = theoretical ex rights price =	(Po x No) + Pr
		No + 1

 

	Where Po =	last sale price or, if higher, the last bid price cum rights.
	No =	the number of ordinary shares required for one right.
	Pr =	the subscription price of the right (or the present value of the subscription payable price in instalments) plus the present value of dividends forgone in respect of ordinary shares required for  one right not presently participating in dividends.

QUESTION SIX

Topic:  Revenue Recognition

 Part One

On 28 June 2013 Nancy Ltd sells plant at a cost of $5 million to Olive Ltd.  Included in the sale was a put option that gives Olive Ltd the right to require Nancy Ltd to buy back the plant on 1 August 2013 for $5.2 million.  Under what circumstances should Nancy Ltd recognise the sale on 28 June 2013?  Explain.

Part Two

A company sells 50 products for $50 each.  Sales are made for cash rather than on credit terms.  The customary business practice of the company is to allow a customer to return any unused product within 30 days and receive a full refund.  The cost of each product is $30.  To determine the transaction price, the company decides that the approach that is most predictive of the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled is the most likely amount.  Using the most likely amount, the company estimates that six products will be returned.  The company's experience is predictive of the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled.  The cost of recovering the products is considered to be immaterial and it is expected that the returned products will be later resold at a profit. 

Required

Provide the following journal entries (brief narrations required) to account for:

(a)  initial sale

(b)  transfer of inventory to the customer

(c)  refund provided to customer when the goods are ultimately returned

(d)  placement of returned goods back into inventory
