PLEASE NOTE
Please bear the following definitions in mind while working through the Study Unit.

Goodwill

The term Positive Goodwill is now referred to only as Goodwill.

 Goodwill is disclosed as a non-current asset in the consolidated annual financial


statements.

The term Negative Goodwill is now referred to as the excess of fair value above cost.

 The excess of fair value above cost must be recognised immediately in the profit
and loss (credited to other expenses in the Income Statement) by the acquirer in
the period in which it occurred. It will therefore have an influence on Retained
Earnings.

General reserve

The description of the nature and purpose of each reserve in equity must be disclosed.
By implication a general reserve, with no specific purpose, cannot be created anymore.

USING THIS GUIDE

This guide has been designed to help you with your studies. It consists of:

 a course syllabus;
 a study schedule;
 study material on some of the topics required by the syllabus;
 study sessions; and
 assignments for submission.

Course syllabus

The syllabus is a list of all the topics covered in this course. The topics have
been numbered, and these topic numbers are used in the study schedule.

Study schedule

You will find a study schedule on the page following the course syllabus.
It gives you an overall view of your course at a glance. The study schedule
breaks the syllabus down into manageable components called study sessions.
It indicates the topics covered in each study session, the study units you
should use, and the assignments for submission that you have to complete.

To ensure that you have all the study units for this course, tick off the
numbers of the units you have received from the College on your study
schedule.

Study Session

In the study schedule you will see that one or more study units have been
prescribed for each study session. You should make a detailed and thorough
study of the prescribed study units, complete the relevant assignment, and
submit your answers to the College before proceeding to the next study
session.

Assignments

This study guide contains all the assignments that you have to complete and
submit to the College. Additional assignments that may appear in the study
units themselves are for revision only. You must not submit them for grading.

You should only attempt an assignment when you thoroughly understand the
subject matter covered in the study session.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Financial Accounting II / © ICG / Page 2
You must complete each assignment within the given time limit. This gives you
important practice for examinations, since your results will depend not only on
how well you know your work but also on whether you were able to reproduce
your knowledge within the required time.

Always ensure that your assignment answers are set out neatly.

The most effective way to learn accounting is by practising it. The assignment
and the additional assignments provide you with the opportunity of doing this,
so make use of them!

Supplementary reading

The prescribed study units, in conjunction with the additional information and
examples given in this study guide, cover the syllabus comprehensively.
However, you cannot overlook the importance of undertaking supplementary
reading. Whenever possible, read the financial pages of the press. For
supplementary reading on syllabus topics, consult the following texts:

_____________________________________________________________________________
Financial Accounting II / © ICG / Page 17
Prescribed units

Formation of a company, types of shares and classes of shares: Study Units


D20059592-E1 and D20059595-E1

Work through Study Unit D20059592-E1, from the heading 'Company


Accounts' to just before the heading 'External Capital', and the whole of Study
Unit D20059595-E1.

Issue of shares and debentures, and capitalisation shares: Study Unit


D20059595-E1

Study from the heading 'Starting a Public Company' to just before Example 5.

Bear in mind the following:

 The total proceeds from the issue of no par value shares is credited to a
'stated capital account'.
 Where par value shares are issued at a premium – in other words an
amount in excess of the nominal value of the shares – the nominal value
is credited to the capital account, and the premium is credited to a share
premium account.

You should also study from 'Shares and dividends' to the heading 'GAAP and
Deferred Taxation'.

Study from 'Capitalisation and Rights Issues' to before the heading 'Forfeiture
of Shares'.

Study the issue of debentures from 'External Equities' to before the heading
'Short- and Long-term Liabilities'.

Conversion of shares

A company, if so authorised by its articles, may by special resolution convert


all of its ordinary or preference share capital – consisting of shares of par
value – into stated capital consisting of shares of not par value. When such a
conversion takes place, the balances on the capital account and share
premium accounts are transferred to the credit of the stated capital account.

EXAMPLE 1

A company has 500 000 ordinary shares of R1 each, issued at R1,10 per
share. It was decided to convert the shares into no par value shares.

The journal entry to record the conversion will be as follows:

Ordinary share capital account 500 000


Share premium account 50 000
Stated capital account 550 000

Conversion of par value shares to shares of no par value.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Financial Accounting II / © ICG / Page 18
Redemption of preference shares and debentures: Study Unit D20059602-E1

Study from 'Redeemable Preference Shares' to just before the heading 'The
Sinking Fund Method'. Ignore the 'sinking fund method'.

Study from 'Redemption of Debentures' to just before the heading 'Use of


Sinking Fund', and from 'Collateral Security' to just before 'Conversion of
Debentures'. Ignore the 'sinking fund method'.

Although the conversion of debentures into shares is not included in your


syllabus, we recommend that you also make a study of this topic.

Note the example which deals with the redemption of debentures at the end of
the term. You are also required to study the following example, which deals
with the redemption of debentures at the end of the term and in instalments.

EXAMPLE 2

On 1 January 2004 Kallis Ltd. issued 1 000 12% debentures of R100 each,
at a discount of 6%. Interest is payable annually in arrears on 31 December.
The company's year end is 31 December.

Required

Record all journal entries, including those for cash transactions, where the
debentures are redeemable at par:

1. at 31 December 2007; and

2. by equal annual drawings over a period of four years, commencing


31 December 2004.

Question 1

The RMP CC has been in existence for some years. Its members are P, M and
R. Their respective shares of the financial interest are P 25%, M 35% and R
40% as at 31 December 2006. The corporation's balance sheet as at that date
showed the following figures.

R R R
FUNDS EMPLOYED
Members' contributions 320 000
Undrawn income 5 420
Members' funds 325 420
Loan from R 150 000
475 420

EMPLOYMENT OF FUNDS

Current liabilities
Creditors 28 000
Taxation 2 400 30 400 125 420
475 420

The balances on the members' accounts were as follows:

P M R Total
R R R R
Investment account 125 000 175 000 20 000 320 000
Undrawn income 1 355 1 897 2 168 5 420
126 355 176 897 22 168 325 420

In the next year, 2007, the following occurred.

On 30 June, in response to R's request, her loan was reduced by R25 000, but
no repayment was made as it was agreed that her contribution of R20 000
should be repaid to her on 31 December 2007. At that date the assets were
revalued. The value of the land and buildings was assessed at R300 000 and
the value of the plant and machinery was found to be almost the same as its
depreciated value. The undrawn income for the year was R1 290. With effect
from 31 December, R's share is to be 35% while P's will be 27% and M's 38%.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Financial Accounting II / © ICG / Page 39
Required

(a) Draft the member's net investment statement at 31 December 2007.

(b) Show the closing balances on the members' accounts and the total for
each member.

(c) Explain why the closing balance for each member on the net investment
statement will not agree with the total of the balances of their ledger
accounts which you have determined in exercise 1.2 above.

Question 2

The balances on the net investment statement of XYZ CC at 31 December


2006 were as follows:

X Y Z Total
R R R R
30% 40% 30% 100%
112 500 150 000 112 500 375 000

The members' contribution were as follows:

X R100 000
Y 100 000
Z 100 000
R300 000

The balance of R75 000 arose from a revaluation of land and buildings two
years earlier.

It was agreed that X should retire and should sell his interest to Y and Z for
R120 000 – each to pay R60 000. At the same time, M is to join the
corporation. M is prepared to contribute R10 000 in cash and provide a loan of
R50 000. What percentage interest should Y and Z offer to M, which would be
fair to themselves?

Financial Accounting II / © ICG / Page 61
The plant purchased for cash was sold for R32 500 on 31 October 2007.

An initial deposit of R20 000 was paid on 1 March 2007 for the plant bought on
HP. The agreement called for three further payments at six monthly intervals,
each to be R20 000. These included interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The
cash price of this plant was R74 450. It was used on this contract until
31 August 2007, when it was transferred to another contract. At that date its
value for depreciation purposes was fixed at R58 000. Hire purchase interest is
to be charged to the contract.

The cash received in each year represented the contract price of all work
certified in that year, less 10% for retention and less the penalty in 2007.

When the annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006 were
completed, M N Ltd. anticipated that the contract would be completed by
30 September 2007. They also anticipated that:

 the realisable value of the plant bought for cash would be R38 550 at
30 September 2007; and
 expenditure still to be increased in 2007 would total R530 000 (excluding
depreciation).

They did not anticipate that any additional plant would be required in 2007.

All depreciation was charged to contracts by the straight-line method and was
calculated by reference to the anticipated market value of the plant at the
completion of the contract.

Credit was taken for the estimated profit on uncompleted contracts in the
proportion of the contract price of the work certified to the total contract price.

Required

Prepare the contract account for the two years 2006 and 2007 and to show the
transfer to the income statement.

Ignore taxation.
