QUESTION TWO
The inventory records of ZUP indicate the following regarding its best-selling product for the
month of January:
Required:
Calculate the dollar amount of ending inventory and cost of goods sold under each of the
following cost flow assumptions:
a. Weighted-average cost, periodic inventory.
Page 8 of 19
Solution
a.
WAC per unit = COGAS / units available for sale
=(6,000x4+4,000x3.7+8,000x2.8),(6,000+4,000+8,000)= 61,200 / 18,000 = 3.40

QUESTION SEVEN
Sigma Company has a piece of equipment with an original cost of $1,440,000. The accumulated
depreciation had a balance of 480,000 at the end of 2017. The equipment's fair value at the end
of 2017 was $1,056,000. This is the second year that the company has revalued this equipment.
The prior revaluation adjustment was $20,000.
Required:
a. Record the journal entry for the revaluation adjustment assuming that Sigma uses the
elimination method.
b. Record the journal entry for the revaluation adjustment assuming that Sigma uses the
proportional method.
Solution
a. Elimination method
b. Proportional method
* Just prior to the year-end revaluation, the carrying value is $960,000. The fair value of
$1,056,000 is a 10% increase. Therefore, under the proportional method, both the gross carrying
amount and accumulated depreciation increase by 10%.

below. What impairment, if any, exists on these product lines?
Product A Product B
Original cost $7,222,000 $12,536,000
Accumulated depreciation 2,500,000 4,200,000
Fair value 5,062,000 8,616,000

Since fair value less costs to sell is greater than net carrying value, there is no impairment.
Product B
Value in use $8,300,000
QUESTION TEN
A partial statement of financial position of Bluewater Ltd. on December 31, 2019, showed the
following property, plant, and equipment assets accounted for under the cost model (accumulated
depreciation includes depreciation for 2019):

Less: accumulated depreciation 50,000
$300,000
Equipment 120,000
Less: accumulated depreciation 40,000
80,000
Bluewater uses straight-line depreciation for its building (remaining useful life of 20 years, no
residual value) and for its equipment (remaining useful life of 8 years, no residual value).
Bluewater applies IFRS and has decided to adopt the revaluation model for its building and
equipment, effective December 31, 2019. On this date, an independent appraiser assessed the fair
value of the building to be $275,000 and that of the equipment to be $90,000.
Instructions
Prepare the necessary general journal entry(ies), if any, to revalue the building and the equipment
as at December 31, 2019, using the proportionate method to revalue the building and the
equipment. Do not round intermediate calculations but round final amounts to the nearest dollar.
