Accounting for Assets and Liabilities
​ ​​ABC Ltd. owns a machine which originally cost Sh. 10,000,000. The accumulated depreciation associated with the machine was Sh 2,500,000 as at 31 December 2019. A mechanical engineer assessed the machine in early January 2020. The engineer's report stated that similar damaged machines had sold for Sh.1,000,000 in the recent past. In addition, due to the machine's unique nature, significant advertising costs of Sh. 100,000 would be incurred to find a buyer. The machine was not covered by insurance,

A power surge during the year ended 31 December 2019 reduced the machine's production capacity and shortened its expected life. ABC Ltd.'s management accountants estimated that the damaged machine would generate cash flows of Sh.3,000,000 per annum over an expected remaining useful life of 3 years. ABC Ltd.'s cost of capital is 9%. No impairment of the machine had been recorded in the accounts.

Required:
In the context of IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets), outline the necessary accounting treatment of the machine given the above information.

Note: The present value interest factor of an annuity of Sh.1 per year at 9% for 3 years is 2.5313.

Public Sector Accounting Standards
​ ​​The objective of International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) 18 "Segment Reporting" is to establish principles for reporting financial information by segments.

Required:
In the context of International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) 18 "Segment Reporting", explain how public sector entities identify segments that should be reported separately and indicate how this differs from reportable segments for commercial sector entities under International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 8 "Operating Segments".

Accounting for Assets and Liabilities
​ ​​On 1 January 2019, Dodoma Ltd. issued 1,000,000 bond instruments with a face value of Sh.100, at a market price of Sh.95. Bond brokers charged fees totalling Sh.1,800,000 in relation to the bond issue. The bonds carry a coupon rate of 5% and are redeemable in 3 years at face value. Dodoma Ltd. wishes to account for the bonds using the amortised cost method as per IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments).

However, there is some confusion about how the bonds should be accounted for. The cash received from the bond issue of Sh.95,000,000 has been recognised as a non-current liability. The broker fees of Sh.1,800,000 were deducted from the carrying amount of the non-current liability. The coupon payment of Sh.5,000,000 has been expensed in arriving at the profit before tax.

The effective rate of interest is 7.62%. The coupon interest payments are made at the end of the year.

Required:
Demonstrate how the bond issue should be accounted for in the books of Dodoma Ltd. for the year ended 31 December 2019.

​ ​​On 1 January 2019, Kamili Ltd. commenced a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. Under the pension plan, Kamili Ltd. has an obligation to provide staff with agreed post-employment benefits. Kamili Ltd. carries the actuarial and investment risk associated with the pension scheme.

The following information has been compiled for the financial year ended 31 December 2019:

Sh."000"
Interest income on plan assets
16,500
Employer contributions to plan
550,000
Current service cost
600,000
Interest on plan liability
18,000
Fair value of plan assets (31 December 2019)
580,000
Present value of plan obligations (31 December 2019)
620,000

Kamili Ltd's accountant was not sure which accounting standard to apply when accounting for the pension scheme.
The only adjustment made to account for the scheme was to expense the company's contribution of Sh.55,000,000 for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive incomes and to credit the cash account.

Required:
Evaluate the treatment Kamili Ltd.'s accountant has given the above issues and offer any correction, if and where necessary. Use journal entries.
