The following notes are relevant:
(i) On 1 October 2013, Quincy sold one of its products for $10 million (included in revenue in the trial balance).
As part of the sale agreement, Quincy is committed to the ongoing servicing of this product until 30 September
2016 (i.e. three years from the date of sale). The value of this service has been included in the selling price of
$10 million. The estimated cost to Quincy of the servicing is $600,000 per annum and Quincy’s normal gross
profit margin on this type of servicing is 25%. Ignore discounting.
(ii) Quincy issued a $25 million 6% loan on 1 October 2013. Issue costs were $1 million and these have been
charged to administrative expenses. Interest is paid annually on 30 September each year. The loan will be
redeemed on 30 September 2016 at a premium which gives an effective interest rate on the loan of 8%.
(iii) Non-current assets:
Quincy had been carrying land and buildings at depreciated cost, but due to a recent rise in property prices, it
decided to revalue its property on 1 October 2013 to market value. An independent valuer confirmed the value
of the property at $60 million (land element $12 million) as at that date and the directors accepted this valuation.
The property had a remaining life of 16 years at the date of its revaluation. Quincy will make a transfer from the
revaluation reserve to retained earnings in respect of the realisation of the revaluation. Ignore deferred tax on the
revaluation.
On 1 October 2013, Quincy had a processing plant installed at a cost of $10 million which is included in the
trial balance figure of plant and equipment at cost. The process the plant performs will cause immediate
contamination of the nearby land. Quincy will have to decontaminate (clean up) this land at the end of the plant’s
ten-year life (straight-line depreciation). The present value (discounted at a cost of capital of 10% per annum) of
the decontamination is $6 million. Quincy has not made any accounting entries in respect of this cost.
All other plant and equipment is depreciated at 12½% per annum using the reducing balance method.
No depreciation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended 30 September 2014. All
depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
Other than referred to above, there were no acquisitions or disposals of non-current assets.
(iv) The investments had a fair value of $15·7 million as at 30 September 2014. There were no acquisitions or
disposals of these investments during the year ended 30 September 2014.
12(v) The balance on current tax represents the under/over provision of the tax liability for the year ended 30 September
2013. A provision for income tax for the year ended 30 September 2014 of $7·4 million is required. At
30 September 2014, Quincy had taxable temporary differences of $5 million requiring a provision for deferred
tax. Any deferred tax adjustment should be reported in profit or loss. The income tax rate of Quincy is 20%.
Required:
(a) Prepare the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Quincy for the year ended
30 September 2014.
(b) Prepare the statement of changes in equity for Quincy for the year ended 30 September 2014.
(c) Prepare the statement of financial position of Quincy as at 30 September 2014.
(d) Calculate the increase in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment during the year ended
30 September 2014 from the perspective of:
(i) the change between the opening and closing statements of financial position and;
(ii) the statement of cash flows.
Comment on which perspective may be more useful to users of Quincy’s financial statements.
Notes to the financial statements are not required.

1 Note: References to ‘2014’ are in respect of the year ended 30 September 2014 and ‘2013’ refers to the year ended
30 September 2013.
Despite an increase in revenues of 48·4% (880/1,820 x 100) in 2013, the company has suffered a dramatic fall in its profitability.
This has been caused by a combination of a falling gross profit margin (from 40% in 2013 to only 30% in 2014) and markedly
higher operating overheads. An eight-fold increase in finance cost caused by the increased borrowing at double the interest rate of
existing borrowing and (presumably) some overdraft interest has led to the profit before tax more than halving. This is also borne
out by the dramatic fall in the company’s interest cover (from 79·6 in 2013 to only 5·9 in 2014).
This is all reflected in the ROCE falling from an impressive 61·7% in 2013 to only 19·5% in 2014 (though even this figure is
respectable). The fall in the ROCE is attributable to a dramatic fall in profit margin at operating level (from 21·9% in 2013 to only
8·7% in 2014) which has been compounded by a reduction in the non-current asset turnover, with only $2·23 being generated
from every $1 invested in non-current assets in 2014 (from $2·98 in 2013).
The information in the question points strongly to the possibility (even probability) that the new contract may be responsible for
much of the deterioration in Tangier’s performance. It is likely that the new contract may account for the increased revenue;
however, the bidding process was ‘competitive’ which implies that Tangier had to cut its price (and therefore its profit margin) in
order to win the contract.
The costs of fulfilling the contract have also been heavy:
Investment in property, plant and equipment has increased by $270 million (at carrying amount), representing an increase of 66%.
The increase in licence costs to manufacture the new engines has cost $100 million plus any amortisation (which is not identified
in the question).
The investment in Raremetal to secure materials supplies has cost $230 million. There has been no benefit in 2014 from this
investment in terms of dividends or capital growth. It is impossible to quantify the benefit of securing material supplies which was
the main reason for the investment, but it has come at a high cost. It is also questionable how the investment has ‘secured’ the
provision of materials as an 8% equity investment does not normally give any meaningful influence over the investee. An alternative
(less expensive) strategy might have been to enter into a long-term supply contract with Raremetal.
The finance cost of the new $300 million 10% loan notes to partly fund the investment in non-current assets has also reduced
reported profit and increased debt/equity (one form of gearing measure) from 18·3% in 2013 to 49·7% in 2014 despite issuing
$180 million in new equity shares. At this level, particularly in view of its large increase from 2013, it may give debt holders (and
others) cause for concern. If it could be demonstrated that the overdraft was not able to be cleared for some time, this would be
an argument for including it in the calculation of debt/equity, making the gearing level even worse. It is also apparent from the
movement in the retained earnings that Tangier paid a dividend during the year of $55 million (295,000 + 135,000 – 375,000)
which may be a questionable policy when the company is raising additional finance through borrowings.
It could be speculated that the 73% increase of administrative expenses may be due to one-off costs associated with the tendering
process (consultancy fees, etc) and the 77% higher distribution costs could be due to additional freight/packing/insurance cost of
the engines, delivery distances may also be longer (even abroad).
All of this seems to indicate that the new contract has been very detrimental to Tangier’s performance, but more information is
needed to be certain. The contract was not signed until January 2014 and there is no information of when production/sales started,
but clearly there has not been a full year’s revenue from the contract. Also there is no information on the length or total value of
the contract. Unless the contract is for a considerable time, the increased investment in operating assets represents a considerable
risk. There are no figures for the separate revenues and costs of the contract, but from 2014’s declining performance it does not
seem profitable, thus even if the contract does secure work for several years, it is of doubtful benefit if the work is loss-making. An
alternative scenario could be that the early costs associated with the contract are part of a ‘learning curve’ and that future
production will be more efficient and therefore the contract may become profitable as a result.

Pyramid would issue 4·8 million (7·2 million/3 x 2) shares. At a value of $6 each, this would amount to $28·8 million
and be recorded as $4·8 million share capital and $24 million (4·8 million x $5) other components of equity.

21(d) (i) The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at 30 September 2014 (from (b)) is $106·4 million.
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at 1 October 2013 based on the trial balance figures less the
acquisition of the new plant during the year is $82 million (see below). Thus the increase in property, plant and
equipment from the perspective of the statement of financial position is $24·4 million.

(ii) The increase in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment from a cash flow perspective would be only
$10,000, being the cash cost of the processing plant; the revaluation, capitalisation of the clean up costs and
depreciation are not cash flows.
Thus the statement of financial position shows an increase investment in property, plant and equipment of $24·4 million
whereas the cash investment is much less at $10 million. Although both figures are meaningful (but do have different
meanings), in this case, users are likely to find the cash investment figure a more intuitive measure of investment as
the effects of the revaluation and, particularly, the capitalisation of environmental costs are more difficult to understand.
They are also (subjective) estimates, whereas the cash payment is an objective test.
Workings (figures in brackets in $’000)
(i) Sales made which include revenue for ongoing servicing work must have part of the revenue deferred. The deferred
revenue must include the normal profit margin (25%) for the deferred work. At 30 September 2014, there are two more
years of servicing work, thus $1·6 million ((600 x 2) x 100/75) must be treated as deferred revenue, split equally
between current and non-current liabilities.

22(iv) Loan note and environmental provision
The finance cost of the loan note is charged at the effective rate of 8% applied to the carrying amount of the loan. The
issue costs of the loan ($1 million) should be deducted from the proceeds of the loan ($25 million) and not treated as
an administrative expense. This gives an initial carrying amount of $24 million and a finance cost of $1,920,000
(24,000 x 8%). The interest actually paid is $1·5 million (25,000 x 6%) and the difference between these amounts,
of $420,000 (1,920 – 1,500), is accrued and added to the carrying amount of the loan note. This gives $24·42 million
(24,000 + 420) for inclusion as a non-current liability in the statement of financial position.
The unwinding of the environmental provision of $6 million at 10% will cause a finance cost of $600,000.
