By 31 March 2019, the company had received applications for 800,000 preference shares and applications for 2,200,000 ordinary shares. On 15 April 2019, the ordinary and preference shares were allotted. The ordinary shares were allotted to applicants on a pro-rata basis, and the excess application money was retained and credited against amounts due on allotment. All allotment money was received by 15 May 2019.
The directors made the call on the ordinary shares on 1 August 2019, with amounts due by 1 September. By this date, amounts due on 1,960,000 ordinary shares had been received. On 15 September 2019, the shares on which call money had not been received were forfeited and sold as fully paid. An amount of $5.60 was received for each share sold. Costs of the forfeiture and reissue amounted to $7,000, and were paid. The constitution allows for the refund of any balance in the forfeited shares account after reissue to former shareholders, so refunds were made on 30 September 2019.

Question 3 [12 marks]
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
Firefly Ltd acquired an item of equipment on 1 July 2016 at a cost of $800,000. On 30 June 2017, Firefly’s directors decide to continue using the cost model for equipment. They elect to depreciate the equipment acquired on 1 July 2016 using the straight-line method, over its useful life of five years. The estimated residual value is $40,000.
The directors then decide to adopt the revaluation model for equipment from 1 July 2017. They determine that the fair value of this item of equipment on this date is $610,000. The remaining useful life is revised on this date – estimated to be six years from 1 July 2017. The estimated residual value is also revised on this date – to $50,000.
On 30 June 2018, Firefly’s directors estimate that the fair value of the item of equipment does not differ materially from its carrying amount.
On 30 June 2019, Firefly’s directors estimate that the fair value of the item of equipment is $550,000.
The item of equipment is sold on 31 December 2019 for $490,000.
Required:
Prepare journal entries to account for all transactions that took place during the period 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2019, including entries for the acquisition of the equipment, depreciation, revaluations and its disposal.

Question 4.
Impairment of assets
Flash Ltd has a division that represents a separate cash generating unit. At 30 June 2018, the carrying amounts of the assets of the division, valued pursuant to the cost model, are as follows:
Assets: $
Cash 143,000
Plant and equipment 750,000
Less: accumulated depreciation (250,000)
Land 300,000
Inventory 220,000
Accounts receivable 163,000
Patent 90,000
Goodwill 30,000
Carrying amount of cash generating unit 1,446,000
The receivables were regarded as collectable, and the inventory’s fair value less costs to sell was equal to its carrying amount. The patent has a fair value less costs to sell of $85,000, and the land has a fair value less costs to sell of $270,000.
The directors of Flash estimate that, at 30 June 2018, the fair value less costs to sell of the division amounts to $1,360,000, while the value in use of the division is $1,270,000.
As a result, management increased the depreciation of the plant and equipment from $50,000 p.a. to $56,000 for the year ended 30 June 2019.
By 30 June 2019, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was calculated to be $30,000 greater than the carrying amount of the assets of the unit.
Required:
