We are pleased to welcome you to FAC3702 – Distinctive Financial Reporting and hope that you will find it both interesting and rewarding. We will do our best to make your study of this module successful. You will be well on your way to success if you start studying early in the semester and resolve to do the assignments properly.

This tutorial letter also contains important information about the scheme of work, resources and assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it at hand when working through the study material, preparing the assignments, preparing for the examination and addressing questions to your lecturers.

In this tutorial letter 101, you will find the assignments as well as instructions on the preparation and submission of the assignments. It also provides all the information you need with regard to the prescribed study material and other resources and how to obtain them. Please study this information carefully and make sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible.

Right from the start we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you receive during the semester immediately and carefully, as they always contain important and, sometimes, urgent information.

7 MODULE-SPECIFIC STUDY PLAN

7.1 Study programme

Use your myStudies@Unisa brochure for general time management and planning skills. Experience has shown that students often fail to plan their studies properly so as to achieve specific study goals at predetermined dates. This leads to a haphazard approach to their studies and the use of ineffective study techniques. We assume the following:

Studies should commence in January (first semester) and July (second semester) and that the full module should be completed by approximately the end of April (first semester) and August (second semester). This will leave sufficient time for revision.

NB: Those of you who register late should endeavour to put in extra effort in order to make up the lost time.

The table that follows can be used as a guideline on how to plan your study for FAC3702. If you submit your assignment online, submit it on or before the closing date, allowing you additional study time.

required to be studied for the completion of the assignment, but should, when the assignment is attempted, serve as a test of the knowledge that you have acquired by studying the work.

Take the suggested solution and compare your attempt in the time allowed to the solution and determine the differences. In respect of every error, determine why the error was made i.e. careless reading of the question, lack of knowledge, question not answered, carelessness in the answering of the question, unable to complete the question due to time, calculations not shown, etc. You have now revised the work for a second time and you have been exposed to the type of errors that you are prone to make and can therefore work on correcting them.

If you persevere with this proposed approach to studying this module, you will reap the benefit of sustained practice in answering questions and will undoubtedly enjoy success in the examination.

8 MODULE PRACTICAL WORK AND WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING There are no practicals for this module.

9 ASSESSMENT

9.1 Assessment plan

The Management of the University has taken a decision to introduce compulsory assignments to be submitted in all modules by set due dates. Submission of compulsory assignment 01 by its due date will give a student admission to the examination in the particular module and the marks obtained for both compulsory assignments 01 and 02 will contribute towards the final mark for that module.

Please note that the assignment questions for the first and second semester are different and the assignments have different unique numbers.

Students require a final mark of 50% to pass a module. This final mark is calculated as follows: (10% x mark obtained for both compulsory assignments) + (90% x mark obtained in the examination)

Example:

assignment 02)

The following details relate to the assets of Steelcor Ltd: Machine On 1 July 2012 Steelcor Ltd purchased a machine for an amount of R500 000, including inspection costs of R60 000. The machine was available for use, as intended by management, on acquisition date. The machine must be inspected every 3 years in order to comply with safety regulations. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steelcor Ltd had to inspect the machine on 31 December 2013 and incurred inspection costs amounting to R75 000. A residual value of Rnil was allocated to the machine and it is estimated that the machine will produce 600 000 units during its useful life. For the 2012 and 2013 financial years the machine produced 15 000 units and 45 000 units respectively. Delivery vehicle On 1 April 2013 Steelcor Ltd purchased a second-hand delivery vehicle for an invoice amount of R150 000. A special arrangement was made with the seller to defer payment until 30 June 2013. On acquisition date the vehicle was available for use, as intended by management. On acquisition date it was estimated that the vehicle had an expected useful life of 5 years and a residual value of Rnil was allocated to the vehicle. Administration building Steelcor Ltd owns an administration building that was initially held as an investment property on acquisition. The property was purchased on 1 January 2009 at a cost of R2 400 000 (Land: R700 000; Building: R1 700 000). During the 2012 financial year Steelcor Ltd decided to rather occupy the administration building themselves instead of renting it out and subsequently took occupation of the administration building on 30 April 2012. On 30 April 2012 it was estimated that the building had a remaining useful life of 30 years and a residual value of R500 000 was allocated to the building. The fair values and net replacement values of the administration property on the respective dates were as follows: Land Building Total R R R 30 April 2012 900 000 2 300 000 3 200 00031 December 2013 750 000 2 150 000 2 900 000

ASSIGNMENT 01 (first semester) (continued) Additional information 1. An extract from the accounting policy of Steelcor Ltd is as follows:

• Owner-occupied land and buildings are accounted for according to the revaluation model and machinery and vehicles are accounted for according to the cost model. On revaluation, accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

• Investment property is accounted for according to the fair value model. The carrying amount of investment property will be recovered through sale of the property.

• Depreciation on buildings and vehicles are provided according to the straight-line method and depreciation on machinery is provided according to the units of production method. Depreciation will be provided on the most recent revalued amounts. The remaining useful lives and residual values of the assets remained unchanged throughout the period.

• Any revaluation surplus is realised on sale of the underlying asset.

2. All the net replacement values and fair values were determined by Mr Shavimba, an independent sworn appraiser. These values were determined with reference to current market prices, on an arm’s length basis, of similar properties in the same area.

3. The South African normal tax rate is 28%. 66,6% of capital gains are taxable. 4. The South African Revenue Service allows the following capital allowances:

• No tax allowance on administration buildings. • A tax allowance on machinery according to the straight-line method over 5 years, not

proportioned for part of the year. • A tax allowance on the delivery vehicle according to the straight-line method over 4

years, not proportioned for part of the year. 5. Deferred tax is provided for on all temporary differences using the statement of financial

position approach. There are no other temporary differences except those mentioned in the question. The company will have sufficient taxable profit in future against which any unused tax losses can be utilised.

6. Assume that the inspection costs are significant and regarded as a separate component

of the machine. Major inspection costs are written off for taxation purposes when the costs are actually incurred.

7. The applicable pre-tax discount rate is 12%. 8. Assume that land and buildings are regarded as separate asset classes and that all

amounts are material.
