QuestionThe ACCA's Code of Ethics and Conduct deals with which of the following issues?

A.Integrity, objectivity and independence, confidentiality, conflicts of interest.

B.The qualifications of persons appointed as finance directors to listed companies.

C.Threats to the independence and objectivity of auditors.

D.The academic qualifications of persons seeking to become student members of the ACCA.

E.The provision of other services to audit clients.

The correct answers are: Integrity, objectivity and independence, confidentiality, conflicts of interest; Threats to the independence and objectivity of auditors; The provision of other services to audit clients.

The ACCA's Code of Ethics and Conduct does not deal with the qualifications of persons appointed as finance directors to listed companies (the ACCA's Rulebook does not deal with this issue at all except to the extent that in general, members should not take on work which they are not competent to perform). Nor does it deal with the academic qualifications of persons seeking to become student members of the ACCA - this is dealt with in legislation and other ACCA regulations.

(b) Calculate Alvaro Pelorus’s capital gains tax liability for the tax year 2006/07 on the assumption that all

available reliefs are claimed. (8 marks)

正确答案:

 


(iii) Tyre has entered into two new long lease property agreements for two major retail outlets. Annual rentals are paid

under these agreements. Tyre has had to pay a premium to enter into these agreements because of the outlets’

location. Tyre feels that the premiums paid are justifiable because of the increase in revenue that will occur

because of the outlets’ location. Tyre has analysed the leases and has decided that one is a finance lease and

one is an operating lease but the company is unsure as to how to treat this premium. (5 marks)

Required:

Advise the directors of Tyre on how to treat the above items in the financial statements for the year ended

31 May 2006.

(The mark allocation is shown against each of the above items)

正确答案:
(iii) Retail outlets
The two new long lease agreements have been separately classified as an operating lease and a finance lease. The lease
premium paid for a finance lease should be capitalised and recognised as an asset under the lease. IAS17 ‘Leases’ says that
costs identified as directly attributable to a finance lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. It will be included
in the present value calculation of the minimum lease payments. The finance lease will be recognised at its fair value or if
lower the present value of the minimum lease payments. The premium will be depreciated as part of the asset’s value over
the shorter of the lease term and the asset’s useful life. Initially, a finance lease liability will be set up which is equal to the
value of the leased asset.
The operating lease premium will be spread over the lease term on a straight line basis unless some other method is more
representative. The premium will be effectively treated as a prepayment of rent and is amortised over the life of the agreement.

(c) Discuss the practical problems that may be encountered in the implementation of an activity-based system

of product cost management. (5 marks)

正确答案:
(c) The benefits of an activity-based system as the basis for product cost/profit estimation may not be straightforward. A number
of problems may be identified.
The selection of relevant activities and cost drivers may be complicated where there are many activities and cost drivers in
complex business situations.
There may be difficulty in the collection of data to enable accurate cost driver rates to be calculated. This is also likely to
require an extensive data collection and analysis system.
The problem of ‘cost driver denominator level’ may also prove difficult. This is similar to the problem in a traditional volume
related system. This is linked to the problem of fixed/variable cost analysis. For example the cost per batch may be fixed. Its
impact may be reduced, however, where the batch size can be increased without a proportionate increase in cost.
The achievement of the required level of management skill and commitment to change may also detract from the
implementation of the new system. Management may feel that the activity based approach contains too many assumptions
and estimates about activities and cost drivers. There may be doubt as to the degree of increased accuracy which it provides.
(alternative relevant examples and discussion would be acceptable)
