Notes:

• Included in Helios property at the date of acquisition was a leasehold property recorded at its depreciated historical cost of $400,000. On 1 April 20X8 the leasehold property was sublet for its remaining life of four years at an annual rental of $80,000 payable in advance on 1 April each year. The directors of Electra are of the opinion that the fair value of this leasehold property is best reflected by the present value of its future cash flows. An appropriate cost of capital for the group is 10% per annum. The present value of $1 annuity received at the end of each year where interest rates are 10% can be taken as:

$

• year annuity                    2,50
• year annuity                    3,50
• The software of Helios represents the depreciation cost of the development of an integrated business accounting package. It was completed at a capitalized cost of

$2,400,000 and went on sale on April 1 20X7. Helios directors are depreciating the software on a straight line basis over an eight-year life (i.e. $300,000 per annum). However the directors of Electra are of the opinion that a five year life would be more appropriate as sales of business software rarely exceed this period.

• The inventory of Electra on 31 March 20X9 contains goods at a transfer price of

$25,000 that were supplied by Helios who had marked them up with a profit of 25% on cost. Unrealized profits are adjusted for against the profit of the company that made them.

• On 31 March 20X9 Helios remitted to Electra a cash payment of $55,000. This was not received by Electra until early April. It was made up of an annual repayment of the 10% loan note of $40,000 (interest had been already paid) and $15,000 on the current account balance.
• Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually. At 31 March 20X9 there was an impairment loss of $120,000 in value of goodwill since acquisition.
