Question – Murgese (IFRS 16)

On 1 April 2019 Murgese Ltd signed a lease for a new head office building. The
lease is for three years and lease payments are £15,000 paid annually in arrears.
The building is estimated to have a useful life of 30 years.

As an incentive to enter into the lease, Murgese Ltd received £2,500 from the
lessor on 1 April 2019. The only accounting entries made were to credit cash with
the net £12,500 payment (£15,000 less the incentive), credit revenue with the
£2,500 incentive and debit operating expenses with £15,000. The interest rate
implicit in the lease is 7% pa.

Requirement

Explain the required IFRS financial reporting treatment of Issue above in


Murgese Ltd’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, preparing
all relevant calculations.

Question - Ticktoe Ltd (IAS 20)


Ticktoe Ltd is an unlisted UK company that prepares its financial statements in
accordance with IFRS. During its financial year ended 30 June 2010, the
company obtained, for the first time, various forms of government assistance, as
follows:
1. Advice was given by a government department on the export markets
available for Ticktoe Ltd's products. The advice was free, but Ticktoe Ltd's
marketing director estimates that the cost of obtaining similar advice from
a firm of consultants would be £30,000. The advice is likely to be useful to
Ticktoe Ltd for a period of at least three years.

2. A grant of £200,000 was received in respect of jobs created as part of an


urban regeneration project in which Ticktoe Ltd was involved. The project
started on 1 July 2009 and £150,000 was received during the year ended
30 June 2010. The remaining £50,000 will be received on 30 June 2011
provided that the jobs are still in existence at that date. The project has been
successful, and Ticktoe Ltd's directors think it is likely that the jobs will
continue to exist for the foreseeable future.

3. A grant application for £2 million in respect of a new factory building was


successful. The grant was received on 1 October 2009, the day the building

1
was completed. The cost of the building was £10 million, and its estimated
useful life is 50 years. Ticktoe Ltd's policy is to depreciate factory
buildings on a straight-line basis. The land on which the factory was built
was granted under a 50-year lease by the local government authority. The
formal commencement of the lease was 1 October 2009, and the rent is a
nominal sum of £1 per year. The fair value of the leasehold interest in this
land was £400,000 on 1 October 2009.

Ticktoe Ltd's directors are uncertain about the financial reporting treatment of
government assistance under IFRS.

Requirement

Write a report to the directors of Ticktoe Ltd that explains the IFRS financial
reporting treatment of the three issues above in Ticktoe Ltd's financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2010. Where a choice of accounting treatment or
presentation exists, explain and quantify the impact of the possible treatments on
the financial statements. (15 marks)
