Dorion Fresh Water Dorion Fresh Water (DFW) sells bottled water that comes from a freshwater spring in the town of Dorion, Ontario. DFW owns the land, and much of the surrounding area, where the freshwater spring is located. In addition, DFW has all of the equipment needed to extract the water from the spring and place it into bottles. As a young, newly qualified professional accountant, you are looking to get out of public practice and become an active owner/manager of a small business. An opportunity has arisen to purchase all of the common shares of DFW, and you are contemplating this acquisition. The significant competition in the bottled water market, combined with the relatively small operation of DFW and lack of brand equity, suggest that there is currently no significant goodwill associated with DFW's earnings. Accordingly, the purchase price will be based on DFW's net book value, calculated in accordance with ASPE, with an adjustment for only the fair value of capital assets. Your intention is to use your business network, and social media marketing skills, to expand DFW's operations and increase profitability. As part of your due diligence, you discovered the following information: 1. The long-term debt is payable to a local credit union. No payments must be made until the end of 10 years, at which point the principal and all accrued interest are due in full. DFW received $250,000 four years ago to this day, and interest accrues at 6% annually. 2. DFW implemented a new rewards program at the beginning of this year. DFW included a liner under the bottom of each cap. The liner includes the text: (1) free bottle of water or (2) please try again. One in 10 bottles includes a free bottle of water. The promotion was a success. A total of 105,455 bottles were sold during the year, and 4,556 free bottle liners were redeemed. The cost of a bottle of water is $0.75 and the retail value is $1.50. 3. Capital assets are appraised at $485,000 by an independent, qualified third party. 4. The capital stock includes common shares and preferred shares. There are 500 preferred shares with a cost and redemption value of S10 and $12 per share, respectively, and a 6% mandatory, cumulative dividend yield.
