On 1 October 2007 an item of plant was disposed of for RM2.5 million cash. The
proceeds have been treated as sales revenue by Candel. The plant is still included
in the above trial balance figures at its cost of RM8 million and accumulated
depreciation of RM4 million (to the date of disposal)
All plant is depreciated at 20% per annum using the reducing balance method.
Depreciation and amortization of all non-current assets is charged to cost of sales.

(ii) Non- current assets – intangible

In addition to the capitalized development expenditure (of RM20 million) further
research and development costs were incurred on a new project which
commenced on 1 October 2007. The research stage of the new project lasted until
31 December 2007 and incurred RM1.4 million of costs. From that date the
project incurred development costs of RM800,000 per month. On 1 April 2008 the
directors become confident that the project would be successful and yield a profit
well in excess of its costs. The project is still in development at 30 September
2008
Capitalized development expenditure is amortized at 20% per annum using the
straight line method. All expensed research and development is charged to cost of
sales.
(iii) Candel is being sued by a customer for RM2 million for breach of contract over a
cancelled order. Candel has obtained legal opinion that there is a 20% chance that
Candel will lose the case. Accordingly Candel has provided RM400,000 (RM2

These have not been provided for as the legal action will not go to court until next
year.

premium which gives them an effective finance cost of 12% per annum.

cost of RM200,000. This upgrade led to a reduction in the production time per unit of the
goods being manufactured using the machine. The upgrade also increased the estimated
remaining life of the machine at 1 October 20x7 to 4,500 machine hours and its estimated
residual value was revised to RM40,000.

Section B: Answer any TWO questions

Question 3

On 1 January x0, Miplex acquired Steamdays, a company that operates a scenic railway along
the coast of a popular tourist area. The summarized statement of financial position at fair
value of Steamdays on 1 January x0, reflecting the terms of the acquisition is shown below:

RM’000
Goodwill 200
Operating licence 1,200
Property - train station and land 300
Rail track and coaches 300
Two steam engines 1,000
Purchase consideration 3,000

The operating licence is for ten years. It was renewed on 1 January x0 by the transport
authority and is stated at the cost of its renewal. The carrying amounts of the property, rail
track and coaches are based on their cost. The engines are valued at their net selling prices.

On 1 February x0, the boiler of one of the steam engines exploded, completely destroying
the whole engine. Fortunately no one was injured but the engine was beyond repair. Due to
its age, a replacement could not be obtained. Because of the reduced passenger capacity, the
estimated value in use of the whole of the business after the accident was assessed at RM2
million.

Passenger numbers after the accident were below expectations even after allowing for the
reduced capacity. A market research report concluded that tourists were not using the railway
because of their fear of a similar accident occurring to the remaining engine. In the light of
this, the value in use of the business was reassessed on 31 March x0 at RM1.8 million. On
this date, Miplex received an offer of RM900,000 in respect of the operating licence (it is
transferable). The realizable value of the other net assets has not changed significantly.

Required:

Calculate the carrying amount of the assets of Steamdays (in Miplex’s financial position) at 1
February x0 and 31 March x0 after recognizing the impairment losses in accordance to
MFRS 136.
