(ii) Describe the evidence you would seek to support the assertion that development costs are technically
feasible. (3 marks)
(ii) Evidence supporting the assertion that development costs are technically feasible would include the following:
– Review the results of scientific tests performed on the products, for example, the results of animal or human testing
of the products.
– Discuss any detrimental results of these tests, e.g. harmful side effects, with the scientists working on the project
to determine what corrective action is being taken.
– Enquire whether any licences necessary for continued development and/or commercial production have been
granted by the appropriate regulatory body.
– Compare expected to actual development costs incurred per product being developed. Where actual costs are in
excess of expected costs investigate whether the extra costs have been incurred in order to make good any problems
identified in the development process.
– Review board minutes for relevant discussion of the product development taking place during the year.
The following trial balance relates to Sandown at 30 September 2009:
The following notes are relevant:
(i) Sandown’s revenue includes $16 million for goods sold to Pending on 1 October 2008. The terms of the sale are that Sandown will incur ongoing service and support costs of $1·2 million per annum for three years after the sale. Sandown normally makes a gross profit of 40% on such servicing and support work. Ignore the time value of money.
(ii) Administrative expenses include an equity dividend of 4·8 cents per share paid during the year.
(iii) The 5% convertible loan note was issued for proceeds of $20 million on 1 October 2007. It has an effective interest rate of 8% due to the value of its conversion option.
(iv) During the year Sandown sold an available-for-sale investment for $11 million. At the date of sale it had a
carrying amount of $8·8 million and had originally cost $7 million. Sandown has recorded the disposal of the
investment. The remaining available-for-sale investments (the $26·5 million in the trial balance) have a fair value of $29 million at 30 September 2009. The other reserve in the trial balance represents the net increase in the value of the available-for-sale investments as at 1 October 2008. Ignore deferred tax on these transactions.
(v) The balance on current tax represents the under/over provision of the tax liability for the year ended 30 September 2008. The directors have estimated the provision for income tax for the year ended 30 September 2009 at $16·2 million. At 30 September 2009 the carrying amounts of Sandown’s net assets were $13 million in excess of their tax base. The income tax rate of Sandown is 30%.
(vi) Non-current assets:
The freehold property has a land element of $13 million. The building element is being depreciated on a
straight-line basis.
Plant and equipment is depreciated at 40% per annum using the reducing balance method.
Sandown’s brand in the trial balance relates to a product line that received bad publicity during the year which led to falling sales revenues. An impairment review was conducted on 1 April 2009 which concluded that, based on estimated future sales, the brand had a value in use of $12 million and a remaining life of only three years.
However, on the same date as the impairment review, Sandown received an offer to purchase the brand for
$15 million. Prior to the impairment review, it was being depreciated using the straight-line method over a
10-year life.
No depreciation/amortisation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended 30 September
2009. Depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges are all charged to cost of sales.
Required:
(a) Prepare the statement of comprehensive income for Sandown for the year ended 30 September 2009.
(13 marks)
(b) Prepare the statement of financial position of Sandown as at 30 September 2009. (12 marks)
Notes to the financial statements are not required.
A statement of changes in equity is not required.

3 Damian is the finance director of Linden Limited, a medium sized, unquoted, UK trading company, with a 31 July
year end. Damian personally owns 10% of the ordinary issued share capital of Linden Limited, for which he paid
￡10,000 in June 1998. He estimates that the current market value of Linden Limited is ￡9 million and that the
company will make taxable profits of ￡1·4 million in the forthcoming year to 31 July 2007.
(a) Damian believes that Linden Limited should conduct its activities in a socially responsible manner and to this
end has proposed that in future all cars purchased by the company should be low emission vehicles. The sales
director has stated that several of his staff, who are the main recipients of company cars, other than the directors,
are extremely unhappy with this proposal, perceiving it as downgrading their value and status.
The cars currently provided to the sales staff have a list price of ￡19,600, on which Linden Limited receives a
bulk purchase discount of 6% from the dealer, and a CO2 emission rate of 168 grams/kilometre. The company
pays for up to ￡400 of accessories, of the salesmen’s own choice to be fitted to the cars and all of the running
costs, including private petrol. The cars are replaced every three years and the ‘old’ cars are sold at auction,
because they are high mileage vehicles.
The low emission cars it is proposed to purchase will have the same list price as the current cars, but the dealer
is only prepared to offer a bulk discount of 5% on these vehicles. Damian does not propose to make any other
changes to Linden Limited’s company car policy or practice.
Required:
(i) Explain the tax consequences of the proposed move to low emission vehicles for both the individual
salesmen and Linden Limited, illustrating your answer by means of relevant calculations of the tax and
national insurance (NIC) savings arising. (9 marks)
(a) (i) Individual salesmen
The taxable benefit is determined by the list price of the vehicle plus the cost of the accessories (￡20,000) and the CO2
emission rate. The current vehicles have a CO2 emission rate of 168 grams/kilometre, so the benefit will be calculated
at the rate of 20% ((168 – 140)/5 + 15), resulting in a total annual car and car fuel benefit charge of ￡6,880 (20,000
x 20% + 14,400 x 20%). The low emission vehicles will be chargeable at the basic percentage rate of 15% resulting
in a total annual car and fuel benefit charge of ￡5,160 (20,000 x 15% + 14,400 x 15%). The salesmen will thus
make an annual income tax saving at their marginal rate of tax, i.e. ￡378 (1,720 x 22%) if they are basic rate taxpayers
and ￡688 (1,720 x 40%) if they are higher rate taxpayers.
Linden Limited
The current vehicles will be classed as ‘expensive’ cars based on the discounted list price plus the cost of the accessories
of ￡18,824 (19,600 x 94% + 400). The annual writing down allowances will thus be restricted to ￡3,000 throughout
the period of ownership, but there will be no restriction of the balancing allowance available on disposal. The low
emission vehicles will be eligible for a 100% first year allowance of ￡19,020 (19,600 x 95% + 400), but there will
also be a balancing charge on disposal equivalent to the sales proceeds. Therefore, the total of the allowances available
over the life of the cars will be effectively the same in both cases. As a single company with taxable profits of
￡1·4 million, Linden Limited will pay corporation tax at the small companies marginal rate of 32·75% in the year to
31 July 2007, giving a tax benefit in that year of ￡5,247 for each low emission car purchased ((19,020 – 3,000) x
32·75%).
The company will also make an annual saving in terms of the Class 1A national insurance contributions payable on the
salesmen’s benefits of ￡220 ((6,880 – 5,160) x 12·8%). But, as these Class 1A contributions are deductible for
corporation tax, the net saving will only be ￡205 (220 x (100 – 32·75)%).
As the VAT liability payable on the provision of private fuel is based on engine capacity (not the CO2 emission rate) this
will not necessarily be affected.
