The company received a government grant of PHP13,500 in respect of this asset.

Company policy was to depreciate the asset over 4 years on a straight-line basis
and to treat the grant as deferred income. Under IAS20 Government grants and

statement of financial position is reduced each year by the amount credited to
profit or loss.
The asset is depreciated over its useful life per IAS16.

8. The Dipper Company operates chemical plants. Its published policies include a

scenarios relating to Dipper would give rise to an environmental provision as

damage to be rectified

para 10. The spill is a past event which gives rise to a present obligation and
the need for a provision under para 14.
The government plans and any chemical spill relate to future events, while the
"possible" damage to wildlife gives rise to a contingent liability which should
be disclosed.

assets is an actuarial loss, while the employer contributions increase plan
assets.
