Hi

Please could u please do the case study. I need the solution very badly as soon as possible.

image text in transcribed ACCG926 - Corporate Accounting Conceptual issues in corporate accounting Wen Ltd is an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed company that has investments in a number of other entities. The ownership structure of the Wen Group as at 30 June 2015 is displayed as follows: Wen Ltd 45% Kos Ltd 50% Mert Mon Pty Ltd 70% 50% Ramsey Ltd 55% 80% Caz Ltd Debuchy Ltd 45% Alexis Ltd 90% Art Ltd 40% Ozil Ltd 40% Ox Ltd Background information: Mon Pty Ltd: This company is classified as a small proprietary company. The non-controlling shareholders of Mon Pty Ltd have indicated that they do not object to the company not preparing consolidated financial statements. Caz Ltd: This company is classified as a subsidiary within the Wen Group. On 1 January 2015 Caz Ltd sold an item of inventory to Wen Ltd at a profit. Wen Ltd has classified the item as machinery and has determined its useful life as five years. 1 Mert: Mert is a joint operation formed by Wen Ltd and Gabriel Ltd. Wen Ltd is responsible for the day to day management of the daily activities of the joint operation. For these services they charge an annual management fee to the joint operation. The amount of the management fee is based on the cost of providing the service plus a mark-up. The joint operation has capitalised the management services fee into the cost of production. Ox Ltd: This company is classified as an associate of the Wen Group. On 1 July 2014, the opening inventory of Ox Ltd included an item purchased from Wen Ltd during the 2013-2014 period. The item was sold at a profit. Ox Ltd sold the inventory to an external party during the year ended 30 June 2015. Kos Ltd: Wen Ltd has a 45% interest in Kos Ltd. Another major shareholder also holds a 45% interest in Kos Ltd. The remaining 10% interest is held by a large number of shareholders each holding small parcels of shares with no individual shareholder owning more than 1%. Wen Ltd has negotiated as part of the purchase agreement a right to purchase options in Kos Ltd which would increase its shareholding by a further 10%. The options have not been exercised to date but Kos Ltd's results continue to exceed expectations and the share price continues to remain well above the option exercise price. Whilst Wen Ltd is responsible for the day to day running of Kos Ltd, the management of Wen Ltd believe that some of its decision making capacity has been limited by conditions imposed by Westbank due to a bank loan taken out by Kos Ltd. Ramsey Ltd: Kos Ltd and Wilshere Ltd set up an entity Ramsay Ltd to manufacture a new product. Each party owns 50% of the shares of Ramsay Ltd and has two representatives on the board of directors. The agreement signed by both parties state that they share the assets and liabilities of Ramsay Ltd and that any products manufactured by the entity are distributed equally to them by the end of financial year. In addition, Kos Ltd and Wilshere Ltd each provide an interest free loan to Wilshere Ltd for initial production. 2 Debuchy Ltd: In addition to the 30% of voting shares, Wen Ltd also owns share options that are convertible into 25% of the voting shares of Debuchy Ltd. As at 30 June 2014, the share options were deeply out of the money, therefore Wen Ltd recognised Debuchy Ltd as its associate in the 30 June 2014 financial statements. During the 2014-2015 financial year, the share price of Debuchy Ltd improved and on 1 June 2015 Wen Ltd exercised the options to purchase 25% of the voting shares in Debuchy Ltd. Alexis Ltd: Debuchy Ltd has a 45% interest in Alexis Ltd. Two other individual shareholders, Walcott and Welbeck, each hold a 25% interest. The remaining 5% is owned by shareholders each owning small parcels of shares, with no individual shareholder owning more than 1%. Walcott and Welbeck are business partners and are well known investors in a number of successful investments. Debuchy Ltd is responsible for the day to day operations of Alexis Ltd. The seats on the board of directors are distributed as follows: Debuchy Ltd 2 Walcott 1 Welbeck 1 Art Ltd: This company is a subsidiary of Wen Ltd. It is based in Japan and it imports and distributes a range of products manufactured by Wen Ltd for the Japanese market. All the products are manufactured in Australia using Australian labour and materials. Selling prices are denominated in Japanese Yen but Wen Ltd determines the price of its products based on a mark-up on cost. Art Ltd retains 20% of profits for further expansion and the remaining 80% of profits are distributed to Wen Ltd as dividends. Ozil Ltd: At 30 June 2014 Art Ltd owned 70% of the voting shares in Ozil Ltd. As a result, Ozil Ltd was classified as a subsidiary in the 30 June 2014 consolidated financial statements. On 1 December 2014, Art Ltd sold 30% of the voting shares in Ozil Ltd to other investors. During the 2014-2015 financial year, Art Ltd held 2 out of 5 board seats and continued to provide strategic advice to Ozil Ltd. 3 You will be assigned into a group during the class and you will be required to discuss with your group members one of the following conceptual issues (as determined by your lecturer).
