A.2 (i) The license should be recognised as intangible asset at initial cost of Rs. 52 million (50+2).
The transfer fee being directly attributable cost should be included while refundable tax
of Rs. 1 million should not be included in cost.
The useful life of license will be restricted to the original five years as the renewal cost of
Rs. 40 million is significant which should be considered separate intangible at the time of
renewal. The residual value of license at the end of five years as zero because there is no
commitment by 3rd party to purchase the license and there is no active market for the
license. The amortization for the year should be Rs. 10.4 million (52/5).
(ii) As per IAS 38, Rs. 5 million (2+3) for planning and content development should be
expensed out. Website is developed primarily for promoting and advertising SL’s
products and services. So, SL will not be able to demonstrate how it will generate probable
future economic benefits.
Rs. 7 million incurred for acquisition of the web servers should be capitalized under
property, plant and equipment and depreciated over useful life.
Since webhosting fees is paid for one year, Rs. 0.42 (1/12×5) million will be expensed
out while Rs. 0.58 million will be recorded as prepayment.

3. Share Capital
3.3: Shares issued for consideration other than cash were issued against plant and machinery.
3.4: All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the AL’s residual assets. Holders of the
shares are entitled to dividends from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share
at the general meetings of the AL.
A.4 (i) CML’s management view is incorrect as per IAS 21. Foreign currency trade payables are
monetary item, which need to be retranslated at closing rate of Rs. 240 per USD
i.e. Rs. 744 million which should result in an exchange loss of Rs. 106 million to be taken
to profit or loss. However, advance to other foreign suppliers being a non-monetary item
should not be retranslated at the closing rate. The decline in exchange rate on
31 August 2022 should be a non-adjusting event as no condition existed on 31 July 2022.
(ii) CML’s management view is incorrect as per IAS 37. This is an onerous contract because
the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic
benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under the contract reflect
the least net cost of exiting from the contract which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it
i.e. Rs. 150 million and any penalties arising from failure to fulfil it i.e. Rs. 85 million. So
CL should recognize a provision of Rs. 85 million irrespective of the management’s
decision of fulfilling the contract.
