Used in conjunction with our answers they provide an indication of all possible points that could be made, issues that could be covered and approaches to adopt. Attempting mock exams There are three mock exams that provide practice at coping with the pressures of the exam day. We strongly recommend that you attempt them under exam conditions. Mock exams 1 and 2 reflect the question styles and syllabus coverage of the exam; Mock exam 3 is the December 2009 paper. Using your BPP Learning Media Practice and Revision Kit 10393 www. ebooks2000. blogspot. com ix Revising F7 General exam support from BPP Learning Media BPP Learning Media is committed to giving you the best possible support in your quest for exam success.

With this in mind, we have produced guidance on how to revise and techniques you can apply to improve your chances of passing the exam. This guidance can be found on the BPP Learning Media web site at the following link: www. bpp. com/acca/examtips/revising-for-ACCA-exams. doc A paper copy of this guidance is available by emailing learningmedia@BPP. com Topics to revise What we do know about F7 is that Question 1 will be a consolidation question. This can be a statement of financial position or income statement or both, and it will probably include an associate, so be prepared for all of this. Therefore you must revise all the consolidation workings, and you must know how to account for an associate. All questions are compulsory.

Question 2 will be a single company accounts preparation question. This allows the examiner to bring in more complex issues that he would not test in the consolidation question. Make sure you can deal with finance leases, deferred tax, calculating finance costs using the effective interest rate, prior period adjustments, discontinued operations and construction contracts. Question 3 will be on statements of cash flow or interpretation of accounts. You have studied both of these at 1. 1, so make sure you can do them well. Other recent questions have involved non-current assets and impairment, intangible assets, EPS, provisions and regulatory issues. These are all likely topics for questions 4 and 5.

There will be a certain amount of discussion in some of the questions, so be prepared to write about financial reporting topics, such as the Framework or specific accounting standards. Question practice This is the most important thing to do if you want to get through. All of the most up-to-date exam questions from the previous syllabus and all the F7 questions to date are in this kit. Practice doing them under timed conditions, then go through the answers and go back to the study text for any topic you are really having trouble with. Come back to a question week later and try it again – you will be surprised at how much better you are getting.

Be very ruthless with yourself at this stage – you have to do the question in the time, without looking at the answer. This will really sharpen your wits and make the exam experience less worrying. Just keep doing this and you will get better at doing questions and you will really find out what you know and what you don’t know. x Revising F7 11393 www. ebooks2000. blogspot. com Passing the F7 exam If you have honestly done your revision then you can pass this exam. What you must do is remain calm and tackle it in a professional manner. The examiner stresses a number of points which you should bear in mind. • You must read the question properly.

Students often fail to read the question properly and miss some of the information. Time spent reading the question a second time would be time well spent. Make yourself do this, don’t just rush into it in a panic. Workings must be clear and cross-referenced. If the marker can read and understand your workings they can give you credit for using the right method, even if your answer is wrong. If your answer is wrong and there are no workings, or they are illegible and incomprehensible, you will get no marks for that part of the question. Stick to the timings and answer all questions. Do not spend too long on one question at the expense of others.

The number of extra marks you will gain on that question will be minimal, and you could have at least obtained the easy marks on the next question. Do not neglect the short parts of the question. If you get a 20-mark consolidation with a 5-mark discussion topic at the end, leave time for that last part. You can’t afford to throw away 5 marks. Make sure you get the easy marks. If an accounts preparation question contains something that you are unable to do, just ignore it and do the rest. You will probably only lose a few marks and if you start trying to puzzle it out you might waste a lot of minutes. Answer the question. In a discussion-type question you may be tempted to just write down everything you know about the topic. This will do you no good.

The marking parameters for these questions are quite precise. You will only get marks for making points that answer the question exactly as it has been set. So don’t waste your time waffling – you could be scoring marks somewhere else. • • • • • Note that you have 15 minutes reading time at the start of this exam, during which you are allowed to make notes on the question paper. Use this to read the questions carefully and underline important points. Make note of any points that occur to you which you may otherwise forget. Get really familiar with the paper and focus on what you can do, not the bits you think you can't do. Gaining the easy marks

The first point to make is that you do not get any marks for just writing down the formats for a financial statement. But, once you have put the formats down, you are then in a position to start filling in the numbers and getting the easy marks. Also, correct formats will give you a guide so that you don’t miss things. For instance, it’s easy to forget about the minority interest in a group income statement. So that’s a good place to start. Having put down the formats, then go through the workings and slot in the figures. Make sure you get in all the ones you can do easily. Complicated parts are well worth doing if you are able to do them – there will be marks for those. Complicated parts which you don’t know how to do are best left alone.

If you have an interpretation question, you will not get many marks for just producing lots of ratios or restating information you have already been given in the question. You have to be able to evaluate the information and see what judgements can be made. So go through the information critically and see which ratios are actually relevant. Then calculate them and say something sensible about them. Revising F7 12393 www. ebooks2000. blogspot. com xi Exam information Format of the exam All questions are compulsory.

The overall performance of candidates in this paper was poor. A significant number of candidates did not attempt either or both of Questions 4 and 5. Answers to sections of the paper requiring written comment, interpretation or analysis were weak or non-existent. December 2008 2 3 4 5 Consolidated income statement and statement of financial position Single company statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position Ratio analysis and comparison of performance for two companies Discussion and scenario on provisions Non current asset and depreciation – financial statement extracts Marks 25 25 25 15 10 100 xii Revising F7 13393 www. ebooks2000. blogspot. com Examiner's comment. There was a generally improved performance at this diet but some areas still need improvement. The best answered sections of the paper were the computational elements, the analysis and discursive areas were much weaker. Some candidates wasted time producing ever-elaborate workings and unnecessary journals which were confusingly presented. This made their scripts very difficult to mark. June 2008 2 3 4 5 Consolidated income statement plus calculate goodwill on acquisition and discuss treatment of associate Redraft financial statements Statement of cash flows and comment on cash flow management Explain qualitative characteristics and apply to inventory Accounting for convertible loan note Marks 25 25 25 15 10 100 Examiner's comment. I am disappointed in the overall performance of candidates. Answers were weak in sections requiring written comment and analysis, which accounted for 33 marks. The first two questions were done quite well. In question 3 candidates often scored well on the cash flow statement but the interpretation was generally weak. Question 4 was mixed, question 5 on the financial instrument was very badly answered by most candidates.

The overall pass rate for this paper was disappointing. Performance was poor on questions requiring written comment and analysis. Many candidates did not answer the question that was asked. The first two questions were generally done well. Candidates did well on the ratios in Question 3, but their analysis was poor.

Questions 4 and 5 were not well done.

Whilst you will spend some time looking at your notes and Paper F7 Passcards, you should spend the majority of your revision time practising questions. We recommend two ways in which you can practise questions. • • Use BPP Learning Media's question plan to work systematically through the syllabus and attempt key and other questions on a section-by-section basis Build your own exams – attempt questions as a series of practice exams These ways are suggestions and simply following them is no guarantee of success.

You or your college may prefer an alternative but equally valid approach. BPP Learning Media's question plan The BPP Learning Media plan below requires you to devote a minimum of 30 hours to revision of Paper F7. Any time you can spend over and above this should only increase your chances of success. Step 1 Step 2 Review your notes and the chapter summaries in the Paper F7 Passcards for each section of the syllabus. Answer the key questions for that section. These questions have boxes round the question number in the table below and you should answer them in full. Even if you are short of time you must attempt these questions if you want to pass the exam.

You should complete your answers without referring to our solutions. Step 3 Step 4 Attempt the other questions in that section. Attempt Mock exams 1, 2 and 3 under strict exam conditions. Planning your question practice 18393 www. ebooks2000. blogspot. com xvii Syllabus section The conceptual framework 2010 Passcards chapters 1 Questions in this Kit 1, 2, 3 Done Comments Peterlee is a straightforward question on the Framework and Derringdo gets you to apply the Framework to the issue of revenue recognition. Make sure you do Porto from the pilot paper. This question covers a lot of material and is good revision. All of these questions are good. Candel and Pricewell are the most recent.

Broadoak is a full question on IAS 16, so make sure you do it. The other questions reflect what you may see for a 10 or 15-mark question. Dexterity is a 25-mark on goodwill and intangible assets, so it covers a lot of ground. Emerald is a recent question. Wilderness is an excellent question on impairment. See if you can do it in the time. Partway is a recent question on discontinued operations. Question 27 is a good preparation question on the basics. Question 28 looks at the effect of related parties on group accounts. This is the context within which the examiner will examine related parties. Highveldt does not require the whole position statement, but gets you to produce the key workings.

Pedantic is from the December 2008 paper. , Start with the preparation question, and then do Hydan, which is a recent question. Do the two preparation questions first and then Patronic and Pacemaker, which are the latest exam questions. Start with the preparation question and make sure you also do Torrent and Beetie. Make sure you do Bodyline, which is a full question on provisions. Promoil is a good example of a 15-mark question from the December 2008 paper.

Required Explain the purpose and authoritative status of the Framework. (5 marks) (b)

Of particular importance within the Framework are the definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. Required Define assets and liabilities and explain the important aspects of their definitions. Explain why these definitions are of particular importance to the preparation of an entity's statement of financial position and income statement. (8 marks) (Total = 13 marks) 2 Derringdo (2. 5 6/03 part) 20 mins Revenue recognition is the process by which companies decide when and how much income should be included in the income statement. It is a topical area of great debate in the accounting profession. The IASB looks at revenue recognition from conceptual and substance points of view.

There are occasions where a more traditional approach to revenue recognition does not entirely conform to the IASB guidance; indeed neither do some International Accounting Standards. Required (a) Explain the implications that the IASB's Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (Framework) and the application of substance over form have on the recognition of income. Give examples of how this may conflict with traditional practice and some accounting standards. (6 marks) Derringdo sells goods supplied by Gungho. The goods are classed as A grade (perfect quality) or B grade, having slight faults. Derringdo sells the A grade goods acting as an agent for Gungho at a fixed price calculated to yield a gross profit margin of 50%.

Derringdo receives a commission of 12·5% of the sales it achieves for these goods. The arrangement for B grade goods is that they are sold by Gungho to Derringdo and Derringdo sells them at a gross profit margin of 25%. The following information has been obtained from Derringdo's financial records: $'000 Inventory held on premises 1 April 20X2 – A grade 2,400 – B grade 1,000 – A grade 18,000 Goods from Gungho year to 31 March 20X3 – B grade 8,800 Inventory held on premises 31 March 20X3 – A grade 2,000 – B grade 1,250 Required Prepare the income statement extracts for Derringdo for the year to 31 March 20X3 reflecting the above information.

(9 marks) (b) During the year ended 31 March 20X6, Porto experienced the following transactions or events: (i) (ii) Entered into a finance lease to rent an asset for substantially the whole of its useful economic life.

The company's income statement prepared using historical costs showed a loss from operating its hotels, but the company is aware that the increase in the value of its properties during the period far outweighed the operating loss.

(4 marks) (Total = 13 marks) 4 Regulatory framework (2. 5 12/04) 45 mins Historically financial reporting throughout the world has differed widely. The International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation (IASCF) is committed to developing, in the public interest, a single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global accounting standards that require transparent and comparable information in general purpose financial statements.

The various pronouncements of the IASCF are sometimes collectively referred to as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) GAAP. Required (a) (b) (c) Describe the functions of the various internal bodies of the IASCF, and how the IASCF interrelates with other national standard setters.

Included in sales revenue is $27 million, which relates to sales made to customers under sale or return agreements. The expiry date for the return of these goods is 30 April 20X1. Winger has charged a mark-up of 20% on cost for these sales. A lease rental of $20 million was paid on 1 April 20X0. It is the first of five annual payments in advance for the rental of an item of equipment that has a cash purchase price of $80 million. The auditors have advised that this is a finance lease and have calculated the implicit interest rate in the lease as 12% per annum. Leased assets should be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. On 1 April 20X0 Winger acquired a new property at a cost of $200 million.

For the purpose of calculating depreciation only, the asset has been separated into the following elements. Separate asset Land Heating system Lifts Building Cost $'000 50,000 20,000 30,000 100,000 Life freehold 10 years 15 years 50 years (b) (c) The depreciation of the elements of the property should be calculated on a straight-line basis. The new property replaced an existing one that was sold on the same date for $95 million. It had cost $50 million and had a carrying value of $80 million at the date of sale. The profit on this property has been calculated on the original cost. It had not been depreciated on the basis that the depreciation charge would not be material.

Plant and machinery is depreciated at 20% on the reducing balance basis. (d) The figure for development expenditure in the list of account balances represents the amounts deferred in previous years in respect of the development of a new product. Unfortunately, during the current year, the government has introduced legislation which effectively bans this type of product. As a consequence of this the project has been abandoned. The directors of Winger are of the opinion that writing off the development expenditure, as opposed to its previous deferment, represents a change of accounting policy and therefore wish to treat the write off as a prior period adjustment. 5

At 31 March 2008, customers who had not paid for the goods, had the right to return $2·6 million of them. Dexon applied a mark up on cost of 30% on all these sales. In the past, Dexon's customers have sometimes returned goods under this type of agreement. The non-current assets have not been depreciated for the year ended 31 March 2008. Dexon has a policy of revaluing its land and buildings at the end of each accounting year. The values in the above statement of financial position are as at 1 April 2007 when the buildings had a remaining life of fifteen years. A qualified surveyor has valued the land and buildings at 31 March 2008 at $180 million.

Plant is depreciated at 20% on the reducing balance basis. (iii) The investments at fair value through profit and loss are held in a fund whose value changes directly in proportion to a specified market index. At 1 April 2007 the relevant index was 1,200 and at 31 March 2008 it was 1,296. In late March 2008 the directors of Dexon discovered a material fraud perpetrated by the company's credit controller that had been continuing for some time. Investigations revealed that a total of $4 million of the trade receivables as shown in the statement of financial position at 31 March 2008 had in fact been paid and the money had been stolen by the credit controller.

An analysis revealed that $1·5 million had been stolen in the year to 31 March 2007 with the rest being stolen in the current year. Dexon is not insured for this loss and it cannot be recovered from the credit controller, nor is it deductible for tax purposes. During the year the company's taxable temporary differences increased by $10 million of which $6 million related to the revaluation of the property. The deferred tax relating to the remainder of the increase in the temporary differences should be taken to the income statement. The applicable income tax rate is 20%. The above figures do not include the estimated provision for income tax on the profit for the year ended 31 March 2008.

After allowing for any adjustments required in items (i) to (iv), the directors have estimated the provision at $11·4 million (this is in addition to the deferred tax effects of item (v)). On 1 September 2007 there was a fully subscribed rights issue of one new share for every four held at a price of $1·20 each. The proceeds of the issue have been received and the issue of the shares has been correctly
