Section A – All 15 questions are compulsory and must be attempted.

Each question is worth 2 marks.
1. Strength Co produces and sells cement. The following issues have been
highlighted during the finalisation phase of financial statements:
Issue 1: A former employee of the company has started litigation for unfair
dismissal. Strength Co has consulted a professional law firm in this regard. The firm
has suggested the likelihood of plaintiff’s victory to be less than probable.
Issue 2: The mining of limestone, used in the manufacturing of cement, has caused
environmental pollution to the surrounding villages. Strength Co has a valid license
to manufacture cement in the designation location and no anti-pollution legislation
exists in the regime. However, given the environment-friendly slogan of Strength
Co, it has contributed almost $200,000 every year to rectify such damage.
In accordance with IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets, which of these issues should be recorded by creating a provision in the
financial statements?
A) 1 Only
B) 2 Only
C) Both 1 and 2
D) Neither 1 nor 2
2. Technology Co has undertaken the following two research and development
projects:
Project 1: After incurring $50 million, the business has been able to develop
solarpowered smartphone. However, the cost of material to be used in each
smartphone has turned out to be far higher than planned. Consequently, there are
doubts over commercial viability of the project. Nevertheless, Technology Co can
utilise these findings to make other commercially viable solar-powered electronic
products.
Project 2: This project was started to develop specialised bio-medical equipment,
having ability to detect all types of cancers in a single scan. A sum of $75 million
has so far been incurred on the project. The management of Technology Co
considers this project to be commercially viable and, given the preliminary results,
there is a high chance of successful development. However, to be completed, the
project requires another $125 million. Technology Co has planned an IPO next year
which, management believes, can generate the funds to complete this project.
