Processing Plant (at cost; purchased 10 April 2013)	$148 650
Accumulated Depreciation - Processing Plant	109 135
Trucks Control (at cost)	291 400
Accumulated Depreciation Control - Trucks	174 200

The Trucks Control and Accumulated Depreciation Control - Trucks accounts are supported by subsidiary ledgers. Details of trucks owned at 31 December 2016 are as follows:

Truck	Purchase Date	Cost	Estimated Useful Life	Estimated Residual Value
1	25 August 2013	$61 000	4 years	$3 400
2	05 March 2014	$70 600	4 years	$3 400
3	02 August 2014	$75 600	4 years	$3 600
4	23 October 2014	$84 200	5 years	$3 200

Additional information

- Rhys uses the general journal for all entries, calculates depreciation to the nearest month, balances his accounts 6-monthly, and records amounts to the nearest dollar.

- Rhys uses straight-line depreciation for all depreciable assets except the processing plant, which is depreciated at 30% p.a. on the diminishing balance.

The following transactions and events occurred during 2017:

January 27 Traded-in Truck 1 for a new truck (Truck 1A) which cost $84 100. A trade-in allowance of $10 200 was received and the balance was paid in cash. Registration and painting costs of $1500 were also paid in cash. Rhys estimated Truck 1A's useful life and residual value at 5 years and $4600.

June 02 Modernised the processing plant at a cash cost of $61 574. Although the modernisation significantly expanded the plant's operating capability and efficiency, Rhys decided that no revision to the depreciation rate was warranted.

July 24 Sold Truck 3 for $25 000 in cash.

September 28 Exchanged Truck 2 (fair value at exchange date: $10 640) for computer equipment. The computer equipment's fair value was $10 550 at exchange date. The computer equipment originally cost $26 600 and had been depreciated in the previous owner's accounts by $15 850 to date of exchange. Rhys estimated the computer equipment's useful life and residual value at 4 years and $320.

PART D

Biloba Limited (Biloba) has three divisions, A, B and C, which operate independently of each other to produce medical products. The company has headquarters and a research centre that are located in Brisbane, with the three divisions being located in regional Queensland. The research centre, which has only recently been established, interacts with all the divisions to improve both products and processes.

There is not yet any basis on which to determine how the work of the research centre will be allocated to each of the three divisions, as that will depend on the priorities of the company overall and on issues that arise in each of the divisions. The company headquarters provides approximately equal

services to each of the divisions, but an immaterial amount to the research centre. Neither the headquarters nor the research centre generates cash inflows.

On 30 June 20X8, the net assets of Biloba were as follows:

	Division A $	Division B $	Division C $	Head office $	Research centre $
Land	440,000	280,000	160,000	110,000	35,000
Plant and equipment	840,000	620,000	540,000	80,000	45,000
Accumulated deprec.	(240,000)	(200,000)	(160,000)	(10,000)	(12,000)
Inventories	300,000	220,000	200,000	0	0
Accounts receivable	180,000	160,000	100,000	0	0
	1,520,000	1,080,000	840,000	180,000	68,000
Liabilities	120,000	100,000	100,000	0	0
	1,400,000	980,000	740,000	180,000	68,000

Management of Biloba believes that there are economic indicators to suggest that the company's assets may have been impaired. Accordingly, they have had value in use assessed for each of the divisions as follows:

Division A $1,550,000
Division B $1,000,000
Division C $750,000

Required:

Determine how Biloba should account for any impairment of the entity. Justify your decisions and complete any required journal entries.

In Tonto's previous shareholder meetings, shareholder groups have not acted together and there are no arrangements in place to make collective decisions. Cavendish has the power to block decisions concerning the refinancing of Tonto's long-term borrowings.

Voting rights in Tonto are in accordance with ordinary shareholdings.

The tax rate for both Lone Ranger and Tonto is 30%.

Part E.2

Required:

(a) Calculate the share of Tonto's:
• current year profit
• post-acquisition opening retained earnings
• post-acquisition reserves that Lone Ranger should recognise under the equity accounting method when Lone Ranger prepares its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20X4. You are not required to prepare journal entries.

(b) Assume that Lone Ranger controls Tonto once 65% of voting rights are held. Calculate the gain or loss on remeasuring the 30% interest held in Tonto that will be recognised in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations when Lone Ranger gains control of Tonto on 30 June 20X4.

(c) Identify whether the gain or loss calculated in (b) should be recognised in the statement of profit or loss or in other comprehensive income within Lone Ranger's consolidated financial statements. Justify your selection with a specific reference to the relevant Accounting Standards.
