S Inc. has been having financial difficulties recently due to the economic climate
in its industry sector. However, its financial
director Mr. Philip discovered that
there are a number of government financial assistance schemes. Details of the
assistance are as follows:
(a)
S Inc. has received three grants of $10,000 each in the current year
relating to ongoing research and development projects. One grant
relates to the Cuckoo project which involves research into the effect of
various chemicals on the pitch of the human voice
. No constructive
conclusions have been reached yet.
The second relates to the development of a new type of hairspray which
is expected to be extremely popular. Commercial production will
commence in 2021 and large profits are foreseen. The third relates
to
the purchase of high powered microscopes.
(b)
In 2018, S Inc.'s premises were entirely isolated from the outside world
for four months due to the renovation of roads by the local council. All
production was lost in that period. Mr. Philip has been assured
by the
council's officers that a $25,000 compensation grant will be paid on
submission of the relevant triplicate form. Mr. Philip had not yet filled the
form on 31 December 2019.
(c)
S Inc. entered into an agreement with the government that, in exchange
for
a grant of $60,000, it will provide "vocational experience" tours around
its factory, for twelve young criminals per month over a five year period
starting 1 January 2019. The grant was to be paid on the date S Inc.
purchased a minibus (useful life three
years) to take the inmates to the
factory and back. The bus was bought and the grant received on 1
January 2019.
The grant becomes repayable on a pro rata basis for every monthly visit
not fulfilled. During 2019 five visits did not take place due to the
pressure
of work and this pattern is expected to be repeated over the next four
years.
No repayment have been made yet.
Explain to Mr. Philip how to account for these grants on 31 December 2019.
