Question 2 [15 marks] Accounting for share issues and options Sunny Ltd is looking to expand its operations, and in order to do this, the company needs to increase equity. On 1 January 2016, Sunny Ltd offered 4,000,000 ordinary shares to the public at an issue price of $3.00 per share, with $2.00 payable on application, and $1.00 due within one month of allotment. The closing date for applications was 31 January 2016. Sunny Ltd offered an additional incentive to investors: shareholders who acquired more than 25,000 shares were allowed to purchase options at 50 cents each. These options allowed investors to acquire shares in Sunny Ltd at $3.10 each on or before 30 June 2016. By 31 January 2016, applications had been received for 4,500,000 shares and 40,000 options. On 12 February 2016, 4,000,000 shares and 40,000 options were allotted, and excess application money was refunded to unsuccessful applicants. All applicants who acquired options also received shares. All allotment money is received by 12 March 2016, except for holders of 5,000 shares who failed to meet the instalment. On 20 March 2016, the 5,000 shares were forfeited, and on 5 April 2016 they were auctioned as fully paid. An amount of $2.80 was received for each share sold. Share re-issue costs amounted to $1,400, and were paid. The constitution provided for any surplus on resale, after satisfaction of unpaid instalments and any costs, to be returned to shareholders whose shares were forfeited. By 30 June 2016, the price of each of Sunny Ltds shares was $3.40. Holders of 30,000 options exercised their options in June 2016, with the remaining options lapsing.

Question 3 [15 marks] Intangible assets Groceries Online Ltd is an Australian supermarket that sells competitively priced groceries to customers across Australia. Groceries Online Ltd does not have any supermarket stores. Its focus is solely on making sales via online orders from customers, with grocery orders being packed at the closest warehouse and then either delivered to the customer, or picked up by the customer from the warehouse. The directors of Groceries Online Ltd believe that the company has done so well in recent years because its products are cheaper than at other supermarkets, and customers love the convenience and service. You are the financial accountant at Groceries Online Ltd and are currently preparing the financial reports for the year ended 30th June 2016. As you prepare these financial reports, the directors of Groceries Online Ltd have asked you to determine whether the following assets can be recognised in the companys financial statements: 1. Goodwill. The directors have worked tirelessly to build the company into the successful operation that consumers and investors know today. The directors have determined that the goodwill of the company amounts to $10,250,000. 2. The trademark name Groceries Online. Whilst there were not any costs incurred in developing this asset, the company has spent $850,000 on marketing and promotion costs over the past 2 years. As a result, the Groceries Online trademark name is known in millions of households across Australia. The directors estimate that the fair value of the trademark is $3,000,000, and it has an indefinite useful life. 3. Computer software. In 2016, the company purchased new computer software, costing $475,000. Groceries Online Ltd also paid a consultant $12,000 to install and test the software before the new system was made live. The software is used to manage and track all grocery orders/sales, from when the orders are received until they are delivered or picked up, as well as for inventory management. The directors estimate that the useful life of the computer software is 5 years. 4. Costs associated with a project aimed at developing a new high-tech warehousing system similar to a vending machine but on a factory-wide scale. Instead of having employees manually walking around the warehouse to fill each customer order, orders would be filled by the warehousing system at the press of a button. The selected products are dropped onto a conveyor belt, they move along the conveyor belt to the packaging area, and are boxed ready for the customer. The directors are confident that the project will be successful. In 2016, the directors spent $36,000 on research activities, $5,000 on design costs for the new warehousing system, and $2,000 on other general overhead expenses. Development activities will continue in 2016/17. Required: With reference to AASB 138, explain whether each of the above items/expenses can be recognised as an intangible asset in Online Groceries Ltds financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2016, and if so, the amount to be capitalised.

Question 4 [15 marks] Revaluation of property, plant and equipment Storm Ltd acquired an item of equipment on 1 July 2013 at a cost of $500,000. On 30 June 2014, Storms directors decide to continue using the cost model for equipment. They elect to depreciate the equipment acquired on 1 July 2013 using the straight-line method, over its useful life of five years. The estimated residual value is $50,000. The directors then decide to adopt the revaluation model for equipment from 1 July 2014. They determine that the fair value of this item of equipment on this date is $465,000. The useful life is revised on this date estimated to be six years from 1 July 2014. The estimated residual value remains unchanged. On 30 June 2015, Storms directors estimate that the fair value of the item of equipment does not differ materially from its carrying amount. On 30 June 2016, Storms directors estimate that the fair value of the item of equipment is $220,000. The item of equipment is sold on 30 September 2016 for $210,000. Assume a tax rate of 30%. Required: Prepare journal entries to account for all transactions that took place during the period 1 July 2013 to 30 September 2016, including entries for the acquisition of the equipment, depreciation, revaluations and its disposal.
