Topic 3: Accounting policies and other disclosures
Forever Young Ltd is a company that manufactures and supplies beauty products to local and international retailers. As the financial accountant of the company, the following events have been brought to your attention whilst finalizing the financial statements for the reporting period ending 30 June 2019:
1. During September 2018, a client filed a lawsuit against Forever Young Ltd, having suffered severe skin damage after consuming the company’s products. This was reported as contingent liability in its financial statements ending 30 June 2019. The case was not heard until the second week of July 2019. During that hearing, the judge handed down a decision against Forever Young Ltd where the company was liable to pay damages and costs totaling $500,000.
2. The company acquired a plant on 1 July 2013 which was depreciated on a straight-line basis. At that time, the plant had an estimated useful life of 15 years with zero residual value. During 2019, following the advice of an expert’s review, the directors have decided that the plant should have an estimated useful life of 20 years. There is no change required for its residual value. As at 1 July 2018, the plant has the following balances:
$ |
|
Cost of plant |
3,000,000 |
Accumulated depreciation |
(1,000,000) |
Carrying amount |
2,000,000 |
Prior to learning about the directors’ decision on this change, you have calculated the depreciation based on the original useful life of the plant for the financial statements ending 30 June 2019.
3. During July 2019, upon checking the asset register, you realised that something was missing. Forever Young Ltd acquired a new vehicle on 1 January 2018 for $80,000. Jane, an accounting clerk, has charged this cost to the vehicle maintenance expense account for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. The directors have decided that all motor vehicles are depreciated at 20% p.a. on a straight-line basis.
4. MyBeauty Ltd is a major client with a receivable overdue which amounts to $75,000. As you have heard of the financial instability of MyBeauty Ltd, you have allowed for doubtful debts of $25,000 for this client in the statements ending 30 June 2019. On 6 July 2019, a liquidator was appointed to process the bankruptcy of MyBeauty Ltd. You were advised on 16 July 2019 that no amount will be recovered from the liquidator in respect of the amount due.
You are to assume that all events described above are material. Ignore any tax effect.
