SOLUTION 1:- DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
i) How to account for the revision in useful terms of an asset: The IAS 16 deals with
the accounting of property, plant and equipments. According to this IAS, no
separate accounting treatment is done. The revised useful life is taken into
consideration for the calculation of depreciation. Also, there is no need to amend
the financial statements of previous years.
Accounting treatment is as follows:
Cost of Purchase as on 1 July 2015 $ 800000
Estimated useful Life 10 Year
Residual Value Nil
Revision in useful life
Remaining useful life as on 1 July 2017 6 Years
Residual Value Nil
Amount of Depreciation already
charged
$ 800000 / 10 = $ 80000 per annum
i.e. $ 80000*2 = $ 160000 depreciation charged in last two years
Depreciation to be booked from the year 2018 onwards
800000
(WDV as on 1 July 2017)/ Remaining useful Life 160000
640000
i.e. ($ 800000 - $ 160000) / 6 = $ 1,06,667 per annum 106666.667

(Being share forfeited balance returned
to shareholder)
ii) Refund of Forfeiture Share Account: The Company had forfeited the shares of the
shareholders, who did not pay the calls money within the due date. All these
happen as per agreements between the company and shareholders. In the instant
case, share was forfeited at $ 3.5 per share. But share refunded at $ 2.7 per share
($ 108000/40000). Difference of $ 0.8 per share amounting to $ 32,000 has not
been paid. Reason thereof is that due to default made by the former shareholders
new share were issued at only $ 3.2 per share. If the default is not made the
company would be receiving the amount at the rate of $ 4 per share. As such, this
loss to company will not be borne by it and company had paid to the former
shareholder at $ 3.2 per instead of $ 3.5 per share.
