F2 Exam Dumps : F2 Advanced Financial Reporting

Which TWO of the following are true for an entity raising equity finance using a rights issue rather than a placing of equity shares to new investors?

You are a Financial Controller at BCD and are in the process of preparing the year-end financial statements. A member of your finance team has come to see you about her provisions balance at year-end.

She says that the Managing Director has asked her to increase the provisions balance by $1 million overall. She thinks this is because BCD has had a very good year in terms of profit, and the Managing Director wants to put some profit aside to protect against any future reductions in profit. $1 million is material to BCD.

You believe that the provisions balance was fairly stated without the additional $1 million.

Which TWO of the following would be appropriate actions in this scenario?

ST acquired two financial investments in the year to 31 December 20X8.  One of these investments was initially classified as held for trading, the other as available for sale.  ST remeasured both investments at fair value at 31 December 20X8 in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  The resulting gains were calculated as follows:

• Gain on held for trading investment $50,000 

• Gain on available for sale investment $40,000

What was the value of the gain that ST presented in its other comprehensive income when it prepared its financial statements for the year to 31 December 20X8?
