The company has adequate business interruption insurance.

b) Snapper held 1,000,000 shares in Prawn Ltd, representing 10% of that company's share capital, at 30 June 2016. These shares had a carrying amount of $500,000, reflecting a cost of $0.50 per share. On 1 August 2016, Snapper entered into a contract to purchase a further 5,000,000 shares in Prawn (50% of the company's share capital) for $5,000,000, reflecting the current market value at that date of $1 per share.

c) On 5 August 2016, the directors of Snapper Ltd approved the sale of its fishing business in Tasmania. The sale will result in a profit of $79,000 being made by Snapper Ltd.

The fine has been recognised in Snapper Ltd's draft financial statements at 30 June 2016 (with an expense of $55,000 recognised, and a payable of $55,000 recognised). On 12 August 2016, after weeks of correspondence and pleading with the Taxation Office, the Taxation Office reduced the fine from $55,000 to $5,000.

This motor vehicle was revalued for the first time on 30 June 2015, from $65,000 to $60,000. The directors determined that as at 30 June 2015, this motor vehicle had an estimated remaining useful life of 4 years, and an estimated residual value of $10,000.

The directors have determined that the fair value of this motor vehicle on 30 June 2016 is $58,000. At 30 June 2016, this motor vehicle had an estimated remaining useful life of 3 years, and the residual value remains unchanged at $10,000.
