SUGGESTED SOLUTION TO MOCK EXAM
QUESTION 1
Part (a) – Discussion of accounting treatment of baking equipment.
LECTURER’S COMMENT
The transaction is a foreign currency transaction because Bake Away Ltd acquired
the baking equipment at a price that is denominated in a foreign currency, being
$55 900, and the corresponding creditor must also be settled in the foreign currency
($) (IAS 21.20).
Journal 1
Transaction date is 1 August 2019, the date that the baking equipment was shipped free on board. The
junior accountant used the incorrect spot rate as he/she used the spot rate on 1 July 2019 instead of
1 August 2019.
The journal entry that needs to be accounted for to correct the junior accountants incorrect acquisition
amount is as follows:
Dr Cr
R R
Equipment (SFP) 8 385
Foreign creditor / Foreign trade payable 8 385
$55 900 x R14,36 = R802 724 - 794 339 OR $55 900 x (14,36 – 14,21)
Journal 2
The journal that the junior accountant accounted for is correct.
Additional journal entry at year end: 30 June 2020
In terms of IAS 21, the monetary item, the outstanding foreign creditor balance must be translated to the
spot rate at year end.
The following journal entry should be accounted for:
Dr Cr
R R
Foreign exchange loss / difference (P/L) 5 871
Foreign creditor / Foreign trade payable 5 871
($55 900 – $25 000) x (R14,55 - R14,36)

LECTURER’S COMMENT
Depreciation starts as soon as an asset is available for use. The renovated section
of the building was only available for use on 1 July 2020. No depreciation will thus
be written of on the renovated section within the 2020 financial year.

LECTURER’S COMMENT
You will still receive a full year’s tax allowance on the equipment held within the non-
current asset held for sale classification.
LECTURER’S COMMENT
The mixing equipment is written off for accounting purposes and taxation purposes
over 6 years. If we look at the mixing equipment left under the property, plant and
equipment classification it makes sense that the carrying amount will equal the tax
base. Equal amounts of depreciation and tax allowances were received from the
2017 financial year to the end of the 2020 financial year. (The available for use date,
was the same as the brought into use date and no impairment losses was accounted
for).

LECTURER’S COMMENT
The value that the impairment loss can be allocated to is R2 162 500 + R796 044 =
R2 958 544. IAS 2 is outside the measurement scope of IAS 36 and thus no portion
of the impairment loss can be allocated to inventory.
1. 308 544 x (2 162 500 / 2 958 544) = 225 525

431 200
LECTURER’S COMMENT
The above base cost portion constitutes the temporary differences due to fair value
adjustments accounted for on the building of the investment property from
acquisition date to year-end date. Total fair value adjustments on the building within
previous financial periods amounted to R700 000. Total fair value adjustment on the
building within the current financial year, amounts to R100 000. Total fair value
adjustment from acquisition date until year-end date, thus amounts to R800 000.
The below base cost portion constitutes the temporary difference due to tax
allowances received on the building of the investment property from acquisition date
to year-end date. Total accumulated tax allowances received on the building of the
investment property from acquisition date until year-end date amounts to R900 000
(R4 500 000 x 5% x 4). The renovated section was only brought into use on
1 April 2020 (within the 2021 financial year) and will thus not affect your tax
allowance for the 2020 financial year.
LECTURER’S COMMENT
Please make sure that you answer what was required. This required asked for a
deferred tax note. You need to ensure that you know the difference between a
deferred tax note and a deferred tax calculation.
LECTURER’S COMMENT
Generally, a deferred tax reconciliation is required when the difference between the
opening and closing balance of deferred tax resulted from temporary differences
affecting other comprehensive income and profit or loss. Within this scenario the,
the movement in deferred tax only affected profit or loss.
