ACCT20073 Company Accounting - Assignment Help

Details and instructions

This is the first part of assessment task 2. You can choose to do Part A either as an individual or you can pair up with another student who is currently enrolled in the unit.

Academic Learning Centre

To ensure you understand the questions, instructions and expectations, it is highly recommended to seek help and guidance from the Academic Learning Centre (ALC). The ALC can help you with your writing skills and check your narrative answers for grammatical correctness and that your arguments and explanations are clear and logical. The ALC will also help you to ensure that you have actually answered the questions.

Formatting

Please be mindful that assignments are marked in electronic format. To assist with making the marking process efficient, effective and not time-consuming, you must comply with the following formatting requirements:

  • Font: Times New Roman, 12 point, 1.5 line spacing
  • Document type: Your answer for all questions must be in Word This will allow the marker to use track-changes to indicate where you received marks. Please do not submit a pdf document as this will not be marked. Also, please do not submit an excel file for your figures and calculations or copy and paste a table from an excel spreadsheet for any calculations into your Word document. Use the “insert table” function within Word and type all figures into the table. Show all calculations below the table. Ensure the marker will be able to use the track-changes function in Word to indicate in your table where you received or lost marks for your figures.
  • Page: Portrait orientation
  • Footer: Your full name(s) and student ID(s), page number and number of pages (e.g. Cat Bird s0123456, page 1 of 3)
  • Marking criteria sheet: Ensure you type in your name(s) and student ID(s) in the marking criteria sheet and ensure it is the first page of your submitted assignment.
  • File saving convention: Include your student name(s) in the name of the file when you save the document, and ensure that you include the appropriate .doc or .docx at the end. For example, save your file as: Cat Bird.docx

Plagiarism

Work submitted by a student that is the work of another person with no referencing or acknowledgement, is considered to be plagiarism. Turnitin will compare the similarities of your assignment when you submit it on Moodle. If the turnitin score is high, your assignment will be investigated for possible plagiarism. Such investigation may take a considerable amount of time and hence your assignment will not be returned within the expected timeframe. Furthermore, if there is evidence of plagiarism, a Plagiarism Incident Report (PIR) will be lodged. You will then receive notification from the University with details of the necessary course of action.

You can check the turnitin score of your assignment when submitting it. Please note: if you choose to redo and resubmit your assignment in the hope of reducing the turnitin score, it will take 24 hours before turnitin will give you another score. Also, be aware that the turnitin scores keep on changing as and when more students submit their assignments. Consequently, as similarities between assignments increase, the turnitin score of your assignment that the UC will get in Moodle may be different as to the score you received initially. It is therefore possible that your assignment may be investigated for plagiarism even though you may believe that your turnitin score is low. To avoid any concern, anxiety and stress about the turnitin score, do your own work.

Submission requirements

You must submit your assignment electronically through the secure upload facility in the Moodle system. Please follow the formatting requirement. Please ensure that the marking criteria sheet is the first page of your assignment and that you completed the required information. If you do the assignment in a pair, only upload the file once in one student’s Moodle account. The marked assignment will be returned to that student’s account. Therefore, please contact the student who uploaded the pair file to get a copy of the marked assignment.

Be mindful that there is a 5% penalty per day for late submission. You will be penalised immediately with a full day’s penalty if you submit your assignment after the due time, even though you may only be a few hours late. The penalty is not proportioned to the number of hours you submit your assignment late.

Question 1:

Rob Ltd purchased two new machines for cash on 1 January 2020. Machine A cost $6000 and Machine B cost $12000. Each machine was expected to have a useful life of 8 years, and residual values were estimated at $300 for Machine A and $600 for Machine B.

On 30 June 2021, Rob Ltd adopted the revaluation model to account for the class of machinery. The fair values of Machine A and Machine B were determined to be $5 000 and $10 000 respectively on that date. The useful life and residual value of Machine A were reassessed to 6 years and $250. The useful life and residual value of Machine B were reassessed to 6 years and $500.

On 2 January 2022, extensive repairs were carried out on Machine B for $5500 cash. Rob Ltd. expected these repairs to extend Machine B’s useful life by 3 years, and it revised Machine B’s estimated residual value to $800.

Rob Ltd decided to replace Machine A. It traded in Machine A on 31 March 2022 for new Machine C, which cost $7000. A $3500 trade-in was allowed for Machine A, and the balance of Machine C’s cost was paid in cash. Transport and installation costs of $150 were incurred in respect to Machine C. Machine C was expected to have a useful life of 7 years and a residual value of $750.

Rob Ltd uses the straight-line depreciation method, recording depreciation to the nearest month and the nearest dollar. The end of its reporting period is 30 June.

On 30 June 2022, fair values were determined to be $11000 and $6500 for Machines B and C respectively.

Required:

Prepare general journal entries to record the above transactions and the depreciation journal entries required at the end of each reporting period up to 30 June 2022.

Please show all the required calculations as note at the end of your answer.

Question 2:

Raj Ltd anticipated that its assets may be impaired in June 2022. Land is measured by Raj Ltd at fair value. At 30 June 2022, the entity revalued the land to its fair value of $15 000. The land had previously been revalued upwards by $3 000. As a result of its impairment testing, Raj Ltd calculated that the recoverable amount of the entity’s assets was $146 500. The carrying amounts of the assets of Raj Ltd prior to adjusting for the impairment test and the revaluation of the land were as follows.

Non-current assets
Plant and equipment                           585 000

Accumulated depreciation               (292 500)

Land (at fair value 1/7/2021)              55 500
Buildings                                         $360 000

Accumulated depreciation                (72 000)

Goodwill                                              25 000

Accumulated impairment losses         (12 500)

Trademarks — labels                           30 000
Current assets
Cash                                                      5 500
Receivables                                          7 200

Required:

  1.  Prepare the journal entries required on 30 June 2022 in relation to the measurement of the assets of Raj Ltd.
  2. Assume that, as the result of the allocation of the impairment loss, the plant and equipment was written down to $266 000. If the fair value less costs of disposal of the plant and equipment was determined to be $250 000, outline the adjustments, if any, that would need to be made to the journal entries you prepared in part 1 of this question, and explain why adjustments are or are not required.
