Question:

Omega prepares financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards. In the year ended 31 March 2007 the following transactions occurred:

Transaction 1
On 1 April 2006 Omega began the construction of a new production line. Costs relating to the line are as follows:
Details Amount
$000
Costs of the basic materials (list price $12.5 million less a
20% trade discount) ..................... 10,000
Recoverable sales taxes incurred, not included in the purchase cost. .. 1,000
Employment costs of the construction staff for the three months to
30 June 2006 (Note 1) .................... 1,200
Other overheads directly related to the construction (Note 2) ....... 900
Payments to external advisors relating to the construction ....... 500
Expected dismantling and restoration costs (Note 3) ......... 2,000

Note 1
The production line took two months to make ready for use and was brought into use on 30 June 2006.

Note 2
The other overheads were incurred in the two months ended 31 May 2006. They included an abnormal cost of $300,000 caused by a major electrical fault.

Note 3
The production line is expected to have a useful economic life of eight years. At the end of that time Omega is legally required to dismantle the plant in a specified manner and restore its location to an acceptable standard. The figure of $2 million included in the cost estimates is the amount that is expected to be incurred at the end of the useful life of the production plant. The appropriate rate to use in any discounting calculations is 5%. The present value of $1 payable in eight years at a discount rate of 5% is approximately $0.68.

Note 4
Four years after being brought into use, the production line will require a major overhaul to ensure that it generates economic benefits for the second half of its useful life. The estimated cost of the overhaul, at current prices, is $3 million.

Note 5
Omega computes its depreciation charge on a monthly basis.

Note 6
No impairment of the plant had occurred by 31 March 2007.

Transaction 2
On 31 December 2006 the directors decided to dispose of a property that was surplus to requirements. They instructed selling agents to procure a suitable purchaser and advertised the property at a commercially realistic price.
The property was being measured under the revaluation model and had been revalued at $15 million on 31 March 2006. The depreciable element of the property was estimated as $8 million at 31 March 2006 and the useful economic life of the depreciable element was estimated as 25 years from that date. Omega depreciates its non-current assets on a monthly basis.
On 31 December 2006 the directors estimated that the market value of the property was $16 million, and that the costs incurred in selling the property would be $500,000. The property was sold on 30 April 2007 for $15.55 million, being the agreed selling price of $16.1 million less selling costs of $550,000. The actual selling price and costs to sell were consistent with estimated amounts as at 31 March 2007.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 were authorized for issue on 15 May 2007.
