3CORPORATE ACCOUNTING
Answer to Question 1:
First Investment Relationship
According to the given situation, LBX Pty Limited primarily had different shareholders that
had around 25% of shares that was essentially assumed by Millionaires Club along with Pty
Limited whilst the left over shares are possessed by the founder of the company LBX Pty
Limited. Additionally, it is significant to allow for all the evidences as well as situations for
assessing control over financiers. However, Millionaires Club has three different seats in the
Board and has authority to put forward views in some of the central activities that occur
within the business concern. As per the stipulations mentioned under paragraph B-19 of the
standard AASB 10, a financier has the authority to exercise control over the process directing
diverse functionalities of the business concern (Aasb.gov.au, 2017).
Second Investment Relationship
In this case it is imperative to take into consideration that Millionaires Club have the need to
engage in the process of assessment of the rights for the purpose of determination of
consolidation necessities that manage all of the actions. However, the actions that controlled
by a financier necessarily have the protecting rights at the time when they engage in
particular events or else situations. It can be hereby observed that financial exercises of BBT
are essentially controlled by different officials of Millionaires Club for a time period of
around 5 years. Thus, it can be said that the controls primarily remain in the hands of the
officials of Millionaires Club who are responsible to look after diverse financial operations of
the company. In a way, it can be hereby forecasted that consolidation is not required and
cannot be undertaken at the time when different associates of Millionaires Club do not have
position in the Board (Carnegie & O’Connell, 2014).

4CORPORATE ACCOUNTING
Third Investment Relationship
According to the given state of affairs, it can be said that CTL has two different financiers in
which Millionaires Club reflects accountability in delivering loan and BJL for managing the
managerial actions. However, when there are two different financiers engaged in any dealing,
then diverse actions of CTL have the need to be focussed or else controlled by the two
investors collectively and then designed jointly (Carnegie & O’Connell, 2014). In this case,
both the financiers have the need to be in agreement to a specific solution to any difficulty
encountered by the business concern, or else it might prove to be very complicated.
Nonetheless, CTL cannot be properly controlled by a single individual financier. Again, the
concern in CTL can be analysed from specific joint arrangement according to stipulations of
AASB 11 (Aasb.gov.au, 2017).
Fourth Investment Relationship
Analysis of this investment situation reveals that there are three different financiers that are
present in the case. In this case, each of the financiers has identical share of around 33.3%.
However, it can again be observed from this case that daily functionalities of PGH Pty
Limited are directed appropriately by Millionaires Club since they have no more than one
seat in the company’s Board. However, the two shareholders referred to as CCL as well as
GJL possess barely one seat out of the total seats of three existent in the Board, However,
they are considered as passive financiers. Again, it is evidently stipulated in the Paragraph B-
19 of the regulation standard AASB 10 that at the time when a financier demonstrates passive
interest towards corporation, then they predominantly have certain unique association with
the financier (Schaltegger et al., 2017). However, it can be hereby mentioned that
Millionaires Club has ample authority to exercise control over PGH Pty Limited where these
financiers are permitted for certain rights and reflects additional passive concern towards the

5CORPORATE ACCOUNTING
business concern. Thus, engagement of Millionaires Club in actions on a daily basis activities
led to exerting certain control with huge exposure on inconsistency in return (Beekes et al.,
2015).

6CORPORATE ACCOUNTING
Fifth Investment Relationship
Analysis of the present situation helps in understanding the fact that Millionaires Club is the
possessor of approximately 75% of shares of the company JB Hi-Fi. However, Millionaires
Club does not hold any seat in the Board of the company. Therefore, they are not responsible
for management or else any type of decision making process that is associated to finance as
well as operations. Again, it can be hereby observed that there had taken place consolidation
of company’s assets owing to insufficiency on top of continuous poor as well as unsteady
performance (Henderson et al., 2015). Again, it can be hereby noted that Millionaires Club in
real possesses major fraction of shares of the company JB Hi-Fi in which they do not even
have voting authority. Essentially, it is the authority of a financier to exert control though
they do not possess voting authority according to B-38 of the regulation standard AASB 10.
Again, there had been adequate control that is undertaken by the financiers at the time when
they get involved in the process of management of pertinent actions and maintenance of
contractual necessities. Again, it can be stated that JB Hi-Fi is not involved in the process of
direction of actions that occur in business and therefore control cannot be exerted.
