Appendix I Description of accounting issues Quality entered into a leasing agreement with the provincial government at the beginning of fiscal 2023. Quality was granted access to the timber resources from a parcel of province-owned land for a period of five years. Quality commenced harvesting the timber right away and as of year end had harvested 10% of the land. A condition of this agreement is that Quality replant trees at the end of the five-year lease agreement. Quality estimates that it will cost $500,000 to reforest the full plot at the end of five years. Eight percent is the appropriate discount rate to reflect this transaction. This obligation has not been recorded in the financial statements. This lease has already been analyzed and is being properly treated as an operating lease in accordance with ASPE 3065. On February 1, 2023, Quality paid $400,000 for a 25% interest in the common shares of Hinge Buddy Inc. (HBI). HBI is one of Quality's main suppliers of kitchen hardware. Quality's board was very keen to acquire HBI shares as it was viewed as a "wise strategic move." The CFO and sales manager for Quality have been appointed to the board of directors of HBI. The remaining HBI shares are held by the founder and president of HBI. The journal entry recorded related to this acquisition was: Dr. Investment in HBI Cr. Cash $400,000 $400,000 HBI has a December 31 year end and reported net income of $1,400,000 for 2023, which is its typical profit level. Bruce is not sure if this investment is being accounted for appropriately. He would like to account for the investment in a way that makes his financial statements "look good."
