Q5: As the financial director of Bellrock plc, you have the following to consider in the
accounts for the year to 31 December 2014.
(i) A customer has made a claim against Bellrock for defective goods sold during the
current year. The claim is nearing settlement and Bellrock’s legal advisers think it is
probable that a sum of £300,000 will be paid by Bellrock in settlement, in addition to
all legal costs.
(ii) Bellrock sells goods with a warranty. If minor defects arose in all products sold,
repair  costs  of  £2  million  would  arise.  If  major  defects  arose  in  all  products  sold,
repair costs of £8 million would arise. Bellrock’s experience is that 20% of sales lead
to claims for minor defects and 5% lead to claims for major defects.
(iii) In September 2014 Bellrock relocated to new office premises. The lease on the
old premises runs to 31 December 2016 at a rent of £180,000 per year. Bellrock has
been unable to find a tenant to sub-let the old office premises.
(iv) Bellrock has a provision of £200,000 brought forward at 1 January 2014 against
a legal claim. During the year to 31 December 2014, Bellrock won this court action
and  therefore  the  provision  is  no  longer  needed.  However,  environmental  penalties
of some £200,000 have been threatened by the Health & Safety Executive and it is
probable  that  this  cost  will  have  to  be  paid.  The  directors  have  therefore  proposed
that the provision be carried forward.
(v) In October 2014, a member of staff was injured while demonstrating a mountain
bicycle.  The  Health  &  Safety  Executive  has  alleged  that  the  company  was  at  fault.
Bellrock Plc’s solicitors believe the company will lose this case brought against it.
Required
Explain, quantifying your answer where possible, how the above should be
accounted for in accordance with IAS 37.

Q6: A  company  prepares  financial  statements  to  31  December  each  year.  The
following  events  occurred  after  31  December  2013  but  before  the  financial
statements for the year to 31 December 2013 were authorised for issue:
(a) Inventory held at 31 December 2013 was sold to a customer.
(b) The company made a major investment in plant and equipment.
(c) The company made a take-over bid for another company.
(d)  A  customer  who  owed  an  amount  of  money  to  the  company  on  31  December
2013 was declared bankrupt.
(e) The company announced a major restructuring plan.
(f)  It  was  discovered  that  cash  shown  as  an  asset  in  the  statement  of  financial
position at 31 December 2013 had been stolen on 28 December 2013.
(g) It was discovered that a item of equipment shown as an asset in the statement of
financial position at 31 December 2013 had been stolen on 12 January 2014.

Required:
Classify  each  of  these  events  as  either  an adjusting  event or a  non-adjusting
event and  explain  how  each  event  should  be  dealt  with  in  the  company’s  financial
statements  for  the  year  to  31  December  2013.  It  may  be  assumed  that  all  of  the
events are material.

The Fundamental Research Project is designed to simulate the type of research work expected from a “Buy-Side” fundamental analyst. The project will focus on the examination and valuation of a stock from a selected investment universe. Students are expected to explore theories that underlie asset pricing, practiced techniques that identify asset-mispricing situations, and strategies that exploit the presence of temporary asset-mispricing. Students will experience the benefits and pitfalls various models: The Dividend Discount Model (DDM), The Gordon Growth Model, The Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF) and other relative valuation techniques. A key to success in the investment world is the ability to think out of the box. Through class discussions and teamwork the project is designed to illustrate and highlight Qualitative and Quantitative aspects of Investment Research.
