Calculation of Depreciation (question 2)
The depreciation calculation for machinery and the building for the years 2013, 2014, 2015 and
2016 has been shown below in the table. The depreciation method being used for building is
straight line method, 93000 being the residual value and life being 8 years, on the other hand, the
company has decided to use diminishing value method for machinery (Das, 2017).

WDV as on 30th June 2016 319,462.50 45,831.66
As per Para 62 of AASB Standard 116, a company is allowed to review the depreciation method
at least once at the end of each financial year if at all there is a significant change in the
consumption pattern of the asset based on the expected future economic benefits and then the
changed pattern would be applied and it would be called the change in the accounting estimate.
Im the given case, the company was allowed to change the method but there were no significant
changes in consumption pattern and hence they continued with the same (Choy, 2018).
James and Jess wanted to change the depreciation method for the machinery from written down
value to units of production method because for them, the units were not being produced
optimally at the beginning and therefore the depreciation should be charged based on production

utilisation of machine was being done in the beginning.
Revaluation (questions 3)
As per the revaluation model as defined in Para 31 of AASB 116, any plant property or
equipment after the initial recognition shall be carried at the revalued amount if it can be reliably
measured, being the fair value on the date of revaluation less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. If an item of PPE is revalued, then all the assets
belonging to the same class will have to be revalued (Goldmann, 2016). In case there is an
incease in the carrying amount of the asset due to revaluation, it will be recognised in the other
comprehensive income and will be shown as revaluation surplus under the head equity (Dichev,
2017). However, the increase shall be recognised in P&L account to the extent it reverses the
impact of decrease in the value of same asset due to revaluation. On the other hand, if there is a
decrease in the carrying value of the asset due to revaluation, then the revaluation loss needs to
be shown in the profit and loss account. However, any decrease will be first adjusted against the
revaluation surplus balance under equity and in the other comprehensive income in case the same
asset was revalued upwards in the past.

Revaluation and Impairment (question 5)
a. The company Dream Furnitures Pty Ltd. would not like to record the revaluation loss for
the building as it would be first set off against the revaluation surplus balance and then
the remainder would be charged to profit and loss account. This would lead to decrease in
profits (Carlin, 2011). Similarly, for machinery, the impairment loss would be directly
charged to the profit and loss account and again the profitability would be impacted. The
company cannot change the model of the building from revaluation to the cost model as
in such a case the model for all the assets lying in the same class would also need to be
changed. In the given case, the along with the building, the change would also be

Qualitative Characteristics (question 6)
While preparing the financial statements, the companies need to follow and ensure that the
qualitative charteristics of the financials are being followed while reporting. The enhancing
qualitative charteristics which Dream Furnitures Pty Ltd needs to follow are mentioned below.
These are required to ensure the reliability of the financial statements and that it becomes
relevant to the user and they get reasonable assurance to rely on the same and take their
investment decisions.
1. Comparability: This ensures the user to compare the current year data with the last year
and do the trend analysis and fin out what are the similarities and what are the
differences. This will be significantly affected if the methods of accounting are changed
every now and then (Knechel & Salterio, 2016).
2. Verifiability: This is one of the new concepts in reporting and any financial report is
verifiable when a group of knowledgeable person are able to reach to a consensus based
on the given information as to whether it gives the faithful representation of matters.
3. Timeliness: It is a very important aspect as the report needs to be delivered in time to the

Revenue Recognition (question 7)
As per AASB 15 on Revenue from Contracts with customers, there is a five step model for
recognise revenue, which are identifying the contract and its terms and conditions from which
the revnue will be derived (Para 9-16), then the performance obligation that needs to be met is to
be identified (Para 22-23), post which the transaction price is being detrmined by the parties to
the contract in agreement with each other and considering the total efforts that will be required
(Para 47-49). After this step, the allocation of the transaction price is being done based on the
different activities or some other parameters depending on the company (Para 73-75) (Visinescu,
et al., 2017). Finally the reveue is being recognised for the period to which it pertains based on
all the above steps.
In the given case, joining fees and the monthly membership fees are not separate performance
obligations as one the former is collected as a one time fees at the outset and is non refundable
and is basically taken on account of admisistrative expenses where as the other being monthly
membership fees is based on the performance or service to the members on the monthly basis.
But the non refundable is not on account of any specific goods of services, therefore, it is not a
separate performance obligation (Jefferson, 2017). Therefore, here the non refundable joining
fees would be allocated over the period of 24 months as & when the monthly memebership fees
is received and recognised based on the performance of services. Post 2 years, there is a material
