Notes:
а.
Included in Helios property at the date of acquisition was a leasehold property
recorded at its depreciated historical cost of $400,000. On 1 April 20X8 the leasehold
property was sublet for its remaining life of four years at an annual rental of $80,000
payable in advance on 1 April each year. The directors of Electra are of the opinion
that the fair value of this leasehold property is best reflected by the present value of
its future cash flows. An appropriate cost of capital for the group is 10% per annum.
The present value of $1 annuity received at the end of each year where interest
rates are 10% can be taken as:
2$
3 year annuity
2,50
4 year annuity
3,50
b. The software of Helios represents the depreciation cost of the development of an
integrated business accounting package. It was completed at a capitalized cost of
$2,400,000 and went on sale on April 1 20X7. Helios directors are depreciating the
software on a straight line basis over an eight-year life (i.e. $300,000 per annum).
However the directors of Electra are of the opinion that a five year life would be
more appropriate as sales of business software rarely exceed this period.
с.
The inventory of Electra on 31 March 20X9 contains goods at a transfer price of
$25,000 that were supplied by Helios who had marked them up with a profit of 25%
on cost. Unrealized profits are adjusted for against the profit of the company that
made them.
d. On 31 March 20X9 Helios remitted to Electra a cash payment of $55,000. This was
not received by Electra until early April. It was made up of an annual repayment of
the 10% loan note of $40,000 (interest had been already paid) and $15,000 on the
current account balance.
е.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually. At 31 March 20X9 there was an
impairment loss of $120,000 in value of goodwill since acquisition.
Required:
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position of Electra as at 31 March 20X9.
