Model Answers have been developed by EDI to offer additional information and guidance to Centres, teachers and candidates as they prepare for LCCI International Qualifications. The contents of this booklet are divided into 3 elements:

(1) Questions –reproduced from the printed examination paper

(2) Model Answers –summary of the main points that the Chief Examiner expected to

see in the answers to each question in the examination paper,

plus a fully worked example or sample answer (where applicable) (3) Helpful Hints –where appropriate, additional guidance relating to individual

questions or to examination technique

Teachers and candidates should find this booklet an invaluable teaching tool and an aid to success. EDI provides Model Answers to help candidates gain a general understanding of the standard required. The general standard of model answers is one that would achieve a Distinction grade. EDI accepts that candidates may offer other answers that could be equally valid.

Eboue’s business suffered a major computer failure during the year ended 31 December 2009 and he has no double entry records from which to prepare his accounts. However, the following information is available:

(1) Land at 31 December 2008 cost ￡50,000. During 2009, a new building was purchased for ￡5,000.

Depreciation on buildings is charged at 2% on the book value at the end of the year. There were no disposals.

(2) During 2009, plant and machinery (cost ￡30,000, accumulated depreciation ￡9,000) was sold at a

loss of ￡2,000. Plant and machinery costing ￡40,000 was purchased. Depreciation is charged at 10% on the book value of all plant and machinery held at the year end.

(3) Trade purchases were ￡370,000, with payments to creditors of ￡357,750 and discounts received

of ￡7,800.

(4) Prepayments at 31 December 2009 increased by 10% on prepayments at 31 December 2008.

￡18,000 were sold for ￡13,700. Motor vehicles are depreciated at 15% on a reducing balance

basis for vehicles held throughout the year and at 7.5% on a reducing balance basis for vehicles purchased during the year.

(6) Sales were ￡475,000, with receipts from debtors of ￡459,800, discounts allowed of ￡8,600 and

The customers had still to decide whether or not to purchase these goods. Provision for obsolete stock was to be made at 10% of the value of closing stock.

(9) On 1 July 2009 a further ￡4,000 was borrowed long term. Interest for the period, at 10% per year,

was also added to the long term loan at 31 December 2009.

QUESTION 2

Kanu plc has an authorised share capital of 300,000 ordinary shares of ￡2 each. The company initially issued 100,000 shares at ￡2.50 per share. More recently it made a capitalisation (bonus) issue of one share for every four held. At that time the market price per share was ￡1.80.

REQUIRED

Calculate:

(a) The number of shares in issue after the capitalisation (bonus) issue.

(2 marks)

(b) The total amount received from the issue of shares.

(2 marks) Kanu plc has now issued a further 50,000 shares at ￡3 each, payable as follows:

￡

Application 0.50

Allotment (including premium) 1.50

First and final call 1.00

Applications were received for 100,000 shares. Applications for 25,000 shares were rejected and the application money refunded. The 50,000 shares were then allotted to the remaining applicants on a pro-rata basis. The surplus application money was then transferred to the allotment account, reducing the amount due on allotment. All amounts due were received.

REQUIRED

(16 marks)

(d) State, giving a reason, whether or not you consider the latest share issue to have been

underpriced.

QUESTION 3

The summarised Balance Sheets at 31 December 2009 of two companies are as follows:

Noca Cola plc Super Steel plc

￡000￡000

Net assets 600 4,000

Ordinary shares of ￡1 each 200 200

Share premium 150 250

Retained earnings 250 3,550

600 4,000

Barry plc is considering investing in either (or both) of these companies and believes the fair value of the net assets shown above to be as follows:

(1) Noca Cola plc - ￡900,000

(2) Super Steel plc - ￡1,500,000 less than book value.

Barry plc is prepared to pay ￡4,000,000 for 75% of the shares in Noca Cola plc and ￡2,700,000 for 80% of the shares in Super Steel plc. It would amortise the goodwill arising on the consolidation of Noca Cola plc over ten years and the goodwill arising on the consolidation of Super Steel plc over five years.

REQUIRED

(a) Calculate the goodwill that would appear in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Barry plc

at 31 December 2011, assuming acquisition takes place on 31 December 2009, of:

(i) Noca Cola plc only

(ii) Super Steel plc only

(iii) both companies.

(11 marks) Noca Cola plc is an internationally known company, producing fizzy drinks which have become famous. The company has made high profits in recent years, despite the drinks being regarded as unhealthy. Super Steel plc is the new name of a former state owned company. Profits in recent years have been low. Recently, many workers have been made redundant and the company is hopeful that profits will increase in the future.

REQUIRED

(b) Give, and discuss, two reasons why the value of goodwill in Noca Cola plc is likely to be higher

than the value of goodwill in Super Steel plc.

(6 marks) Barry plc is proposing to purchase the shares in Noca Cola plc by issuing 1,000,000 of its own ￡1 ordinary shares at ￡1.50, paying ￡2,000,000 in cash with the balance in 10% Debentures issued at par. Barry plc is proposing to purchase the shares in Super Steel plc by issuing 1,000,000 of its own ￡1 ordinary shares at ￡1.50 with the balance in cash. Barry plc currently has an issued share capital of

4,000,000 ordinary shares of ￡1 each.
