• The settlement of this obligation will result in a transfer of economic resources in the form
of cash of C420 000 (in respect of the issue price of the shares: C300 000, the premium:

C30 000 and the annual dividends: C30 000 x 3 years = C90 000).
The preference shares therefore meet the definition of a liability not that one of equity.

The change in residual and useful life took place after year end 1 March 2020, but the annual
financial statements were approved by the directors on the 3rd of March 2020.

The change in useful life and residual value is a non-adjusting event because it will take place after
the reporting financial year end which is 2020.
Student No:217017316
❖ The change will be accounted for in the accounting records on the next reporting financial year
2020.
There are no journal entries for 2019 since there are no adjusting event made for 2019, therefore
only disclosure is required.
I hope all the information provided will help in accounting for changes in residual and useful life.

QUESTION 2
A.
POWER
This is when an investor has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities (that is the activities that significantly affect the investees return).
When assessing whether any entity has power over an investee only substantive rights are
considered. Protective rights are not taken into account.
Substantive rights
• Exercisable when decisions about the direction of the relevant activities need to be made (in
most cases the rights need to be currently exercisable)
• The holder must have the practical ability to exercise the rights.
Dutch Berry and Wootworths have agreed that any key decisions that could possibly affect the
operations of Dutch Berry would necessitate the involvement of at least one director of Wootworths.
RETURNS
An investor is exposed, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee
when the investors return from involvement have the potential to vary as a result of the investees
performance.
Dutch Berry has committed itself to sell 200 000 bottles of grape juice (normally 90% of its capacity)
to Wootworths at a price that will be negotiated each year.
In addition to having power over the investee and exposure or rights to variables returns, an investor
must have the ability to use its power to affect its returns from its involvement with the investee.
Any decisions that impact the production or quality of the grape juice ear-marked to be sold to
Wootworths would require the unanimous consent of both parties.
ASSESSING CONTROL
The application guidance of IFRS 10 gives very detailed guidance of the factors that should be taken
into account in assessing the determination of control.
ii) In the annual financial statements, the R300 000 paid to Dutch berry by Wootworths would be
recorded as investments in subsidiaries in Wootwoorths statements of financial position. As
Wootworth acquired 90% of Dutch capacity, its subsidiary. Therefore, Wootworth’s consolidated
financial statements would include the 90% of its subsidiary capacity.
B)
Debt/equity instruments are publicly traded, or the company is in the process of issuing such
instruments or
one of its primary businesses is to hold assets in a fiduciary capacity (i.e. having the legal authority
and duty to make financial decisions) for a broad group of outsiders.
Student No:217017316
The entity publishes annual financial statements for internal and external purposes
C.

and disclosed on the statement of comprehensive income under expenses.
