Part 1 AAA Ltd purchased 2 equipment items on 1 January 20x1. Equipment 1 has a 2-year useful life (salvage value is zero
with zero disposal cost) and will generate cash flows of $500 at the end of each year.
Equipment 2 has a 5-year useful life and will generate cash flows of $250 each at the end of each of the last 4 years.
AAA Ltd operates in ideal conditions under certainty. The interest rate is constant at 5% per annum All cash flows from operations in one period are paid out as
dividend on the first day of the following period (assuming that dividends can be paid of share capital as well)

3. What is the total economic income, to the nearest dollar, of AAA Ltd for the annual period ending December 31, 20x2?Approach #2
Total Economic Income= $1,430.8120 - $1,362.6781= $68.1339= $68 (Nearest Dollar)
14
3. What is the total economic income, to the nearest dollar, of AAA Ltd for the annual period ending December 31, 20x2?Approach #3
Total Economic Income = Interest Rate * PV of the net asset at the start of the year= 0.05 x $1,362.6781= $68.1339= $68 (Nearest Dollar)

4. How will your answers above change if no dividends are paid out by AAA Ltd?
If dividends are not given out, interest on cash generated by machine will be
earned.
4. How will your answers above change if no dividends are paid out by AAA Ltd?There will be no changes to Question 1.
The interest earned from the cash flow will not affect the valuation of the two equipment.
4. How will your answers above change if no dividends are paid out by AAA Ltd?There will be no changes to Question 2.
No interest is earned yet at December 20x1 because cash is only first generated at December 20x1.
4. How will your answers above change if no dividends are paid out by AAA Ltd?There will be changes to Question 3.
Interest will be earned at December 20x2 from the cash flow of $500 generated from Equipment 1.
Hick’s definition of Economic Income:PV of the firm at the end of the year – PV of the firm at the start of the year
Approach #1PV of the firm at the start of 20x2= Cash + Value of Machine
= $1,362.6781
PV of the firm at the end of 20x2= Cash + Value of Machine
= $1,455.8120
20
3. What is the total economic income, to the nearest dollar, of AAA Ltd for the annual period ending December 31, 20x2?
Total Economic Income= $1,455.8120 - $1,362.6781= $93.1339= $93 (Nearest Dollar)
21
3. What is the total economic income, to the nearest dollar, of AAA Ltd for the annual period ending December 31, 20x2?Approach #2
Total Economic Income= $68 + (0.05 x $500)= $68 + $25= $93

Part 2 – Michelle TanExplain clearly why each of the following statements is TRUE or FALSE
23
A. Financial information need not be a prediction or forecast to have predictive value
True A piece of financial information can be said to have predictive value if it allows users to predict future outcomes, so as to make good financial decisions or evaluate future events.
Financial information need not be a prediction or forecast itself to have predictive value. Users employ financial information with predictive value as a tool in making their own predictions.
24
B. Financial information has confirmatory value if it provides feedback about previous evaluations
True Information with confirmatory value should be such that it confirms or changes previous evaluations, therefore being capable of making a difference in its users’ decisions.
E.g. A piece of information that allows users to confirm a previously estimated outcome has confirmatory value.
25
C. Neutral information does not mean information with no purpose or no influence on behaviour
True A piece of information is neutral when it is not biasedly selected or presented in order to increase the probability that it will be received more favourably or unfavourably by users.
Such information can still be relevant and useful in influencing users’ decisions.
26
D. Faithful representation does not mean accurate in all respects True Faithful representation = Complete, neutral, free from error
Free from error Completely accurate Free from error No errors or omissions in the description of the phenomenon, and process to produce reported information has been selected and applied with no errors
27
D. Faithful representation does not mean accurate in all respects Estimate of an unobservable price/value cannot be determined to be accurate or inaccurate.
However, the information would be free from error and faithfully represented as long as… - it is specified clearly and accurately that it is an estimate
- the nature and limitations of the estimation process are explained
- no errors have been made in selecting and applying the process for coming up with the estimate
28
E. Verification of data must be done only by direct means/observation to ensure verifiability
False Verification of data can be done by direct or indirect means
Direct means/observation Verifying an amount or other representation through direct observation.
E.g. Counting cash
29
E. Verification of data must be done only by direct means/observation to ensure verifiability
Indirect means/observation Checking inputs to a model, formula or other technique and recalculating the outputs using the same methodology.
e.g. Verifying the carrying amount of inventory by checking the inputs and recalculating the ending inventory using the same cost flow assumption

Part 3 – Brenda KwongFair Value Measurement of Asset
31
QuestionCCC Ltd owns an asset that can be traded in five differently located markets. CCC Ltd does not have access to the market at location 3.
What is the fair value of the asset?

Definition of Fair Value
… fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
(FRS 113 para 9)
34
Characteristics of Asset A fair value measurement is for a particular asset or liability…take into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Such characteristics include, for example, the following:
(a) the condition and location of the asset; and (b) restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the asset
(FRS 113 para 11)
35
Definition of Market A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(a) in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
(b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
(FRS 113 para 16)
36
Access The entity must have access to the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date.
(FRS 113 para 19) Since CCC Ltd does not have access to the market at Location 3, we do not consider location 3 when determining Principal/Most Advantageous market.
37
Principal Market The market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability.
(FRS 113 Appendix A)

Market at Location 1 has the highest number of trades Principal Market
39
Fair Value in Principal Market Location is a characteristic of the asset Fair value of the asset would be measured using the price that would be received in that market, after taking into account transport costs
Fair Value = Price of asset – Transport cost = $30 - $3
= $27
40
Transaction Costs? No adjustment for transaction costs of $4 Transaction costs are not a characteristic of an asset or a liability; rather, they are specific to a transaction and will differ depending on how an entity enters into a transaction for the asset or liability
(FRS 113 para 25)
41
Extension: Most Advantageous Market The market that maximises the amount that would be received to sell the asset or minimises the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs
(FRS 113 Appendix A)
42
Applying Most Advantageous Market

Net Proceeds $23 $21 $21 $28Market at Location 5 has the highest net proceeds Most Advantageous Market
43
Fair Value in Most Advantageous Market Fair Value = Price of asset – Transport cost
= $32 - $2= $30
Price adjusted for transport cost but not transaction costs
44
ConclusionHowever, since CCC Ltd has access to principal market (Market at Location 1), fair value measurement would be for the transaction taking place at principal market.
Thus, Fair Value of Asset = $27
45
Part 4 – Yeoh Keong YeeExplain clearly why each of the following statements is TRUE or FALSE
46
A. An entity must determine the highest and best use for a financial asset before it can measure its fair value under FRS 113. False FRS 113: 28 “The highest and best use of a non-financial asset…”
E.g. PPE have multiple uses and need to determine highest and best use for FV
FRS 113 also applicable to Financial Assets, but FV already reflected in the financial market, no need to determine Highest and Best use.
47
B. Fair value measurement of an asset shall generally take into account the condition and location of the asset and restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the asset under FRS 113 True
48
B. Continued FRS 113: 11 :A fair value measurement is for a particular asset or liability. Therefore, when measuring fair value an entity shall take into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Such characteristics include, for example, the following:
(a) the condition and location of the asset; and (b) restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the asset.
49
B. Continued E.g. If the asset is located at a remote part, more cost would be incurred to bring from the current location to the market.
50
C: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date True
51
C. Continued FRS 113:76 : “Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.”
i.e. It is the most reliable evidence of fair value and thus should go unadjusted, except for conditions fulfilled in Para 79.
52
D. For recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, the entity shall disclose the effect of such measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period True
53
D. Continued FRS 113: 91(b) “for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the effect of the measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period.”
Eg. May have too many unrealized gains, resulting in suspicions for it, thus need to disclose effects of it to users in the P/L and OCI.
54
E. Linsmeier(2010) suggests that the historical amortized cost models delay recognition of losses on loans and debt securities, which in turn delay recognition of underlying economic problems True
55
E. Continued The paper mainly emphasizes bank’s Amortized cost model for financial instruments.
Also slow to recognize impairment losses because it will effect their bottom-line (P/L).
Thus severely overstated the value Increased exposure to credit & interest rate risk affected their economic viability

FRS 113 – Fair Value Measurement
“A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account… by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use…”
“Highest and best use”: Principal Market VS Most Advantageous Market
60
Principal Market: Greatest Volume and Activity level Asian Market European Market Australasian
Market
Volume of market - units 4,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,000
Price $19 $16 $22
Costs of entering market ($2) ($2) -
Possible Fair Value $17 $14 $22
Transaction costs ($1) ($2) ($2)
Net Proceeds $16 $12 $20
Note: Price is adjusted for
transportation costs, but not transaction
costs. Hence Fair Value is $17.
61
Fair Value of Asset Principal Market in this case will clearly be the Asian
market, with the highest volume and activity level at 4,000,000 units, which in the case, would make the fair value of the asset $17.
Note that it is only in the absence of a principal market then do we consider the most advantageous market, i.e. gives the most net proceeds [Australasian market]
62
Fair Value of Asset However, it is to be noted that if Asian market does
indeed have the highest volume and activity level, why is Ankara not trading in that market already? Do they not have access to the Asian market? If so, Asian market cannot be considered a principal market
[FRS113:19]
We would then have to consider the next market, and so forth. In considering the Fair Value of this asset, there has to be much consideration as to what markets Ankara has access to.

Entity adjusts that rate by 2% to reflect its non-performance risk (i.e. the risk that it will not fulfill the obligation)
Discount rate used to compute present value of cash flows is 4% + 2% = 6%
