iii.The fair values of Jewel's Property, Plant and Equipment were equal to their book values with the exception of its plant, which had a fair value of GHS 12,000 in excess of its book value at the date of acquisition. The remaining life of all of Jewel's plant at the date of its acquisition was four years and this period has not changed as a result of the acquisition. Depreciation of plant is on a straight-line basis and charged to cost of sales. Jewel has not adjusted the value of its plant as a result of the fair value exercise.

iv.Revenues and profits should be deemed to accrue evenly throughout the year.

v.Following an impairment review, there was no impairment loss on any of the consolidated goodwill as at 31^st December 2017.

vi.Gem sells goods to Bauble at cost plus 30%. Bauble had GHS 12,000 of goods in its inventory included in the current assets at 31^st December 2017 which had been supplied by Gem.

vii.In addition, on 28 December 2017, Gem processed the sale of GHS1,500 of goods to Bauble, which Bauble did not account for until their receipt on 2^nd January 2018. The in-transit reconciliation should be achieved by assuming the transaction had been recorded in the books of Bauble before the year end. At 31^st December 2017, Gem had a trade receivable balance in the current assets of GHS2,000 due from Bauble which differed to the equivalent balance in Bauble's books due to the sale made on 28 December 2017.

viii. It is the group's policy to value the non-controlling interest at acquisition at its proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets.
