PART B

Q11. Read the attached article, published by AccountingWeb, in Appendix A about Tesco plc, a UK supermarket chain with interests throughout Asia, and read Note 12 to the financial statements on Property, Plant and Equipment.

You have been approached by a client who has invested in Tesco plc and is concerned by the disclosures. Write a report to your client, using the relevant accounting standards, identifying and explaining the sections that apply to the disclosed accounting treatment and explain in detail how and why they apply.

Your client is confused by the term "kitchen sinking" which applies in the UK. You have been advised that in Australia it is known as "taking a big bath." Conduct research to explain what these terms mean and place this explanation in the context of impairment testing and how this may have been employed in the case of Tesco plc.

In your answer pay strict attention to referencing with respect the accounting standards and the paragraphs contained therein that you have quoted and the websites visited quoting the website and the times of access.

Your report should be written as a business report with an executive summary, an introduction, the main findings, a conclusion and references. Marks will be awarded to reflect presentation, business English, content and referencing. (see CDU Report Format in Assessment Area)

Q12. Read the attached article, from the Sydney Morning Herald, in Appendix B on the theft of rare coins from the NSW State Library.

Would you consider these coins to be heritage assets? Give explanations for your conclusion.

How do these coins differ from the definition of an asset in the Conceptual Framework?

What problems can you identify when trying to recognise these coins as assets?

How do the coins fall within the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment as defined by AASB 116?

What use would be gained by placing a financial value on them?

Who would benefit by having a financial value placed upon them and why?

How would valuers identify a fair value if cost was not available?

What problems do you envisage that valuers would have when trying to ascertain fair value?

Who would be better at establishing a fair value, the Museum Director or an independent valuer? Give reasons for your answer and identify the disclosure requirements of such a valuation.

Suggest alternative methods of assessing the Museum Director's performance. How could this be contained within the annual report and financial statements?
