A statement you grind out slowly with notes open is not practice. 2 Tag every line to its partner account before you touch a number: sales+>receivables, COGS>>inventory+payables, each expense>>its payable or prepayment, the asset notes>>the disposal chain. 3 Build each cash line from its T-account, let the cash figure balance the account, then assemble the three sections. 4 Reconcile the three subtotals to the actual movement in cash. If it doesn't tie, the error is yours to find - that hunt is the most valuable minute you'll spend. 5 Only now open the solution. Compare account by account, not just the final number - a right answer reached the wrong way will not survive a different question. The difficulty ladder Q Problem What makes it harder 1 ABC Ltd - direct method The full template, one disposal. Net operating comes to zero - a deliberate "does it still reconcile?" nerve test. 2 XYZ Ltd - direct method Two depreciable asset classes; a vehicle both bought and sold in the year; prepaid insurance; tax payable falls. 3 MCQ drill - six items Impairment, revaluation, sustainability, associates - the half of the paper that isn't cash flow. i Both cash-flow questions are the genuine article ABC Ltd and XYZ Ltd are the real Week-2 tutorial questions for this unit, year ended 30 June 2023.

AASB 112 25-MARK WRITTEN Q Accounting for Income Tax Why the tax you report and the tax you owe are two different numbers The accountant and the tax office look at the same year and reach different profits. Accounting profit follows the accrual rules of the AASBs; taxable profit follows the cash-flavoured rules of the Income Tax Assessment Act. The tax you owe now is the current tax; the timing gaps that will reverse later are deferred tax. Get those two ideas straight and the heaviest question on the paper becomes a worksheet you fill in. THE WHOLE TOPIC The two profits one rate Current tax payable = Taxable profit x 30% - not accounting profit x 30% Deferred tax = the rate applied to timing differences that reverse in a future year Two kinds of difference AASB 112 Difference Reverses? Deferred tax? Permanent - fines, Never No entertainment, exempt income, goodwill impairment

B. Deferred Tax（25 marks）：记住“算movement，不是算closing balance”

书里把这题的本质写得很清楚：

• Current tax payable = taxable profit × 30%（不是 accounting profit × 30%）
• Deferred tax = temporary differences × 30%；永久性差异只影响 current tax，不进 deferred tax。[17]Source: monash-acx2100-financial-accounting-exam-bible.pdf20-MARK WRITTEN Q Consolidation When one company controls another, the group reports as one entity A parent that controls a subsidiary must publish accounts for the whole group - not because the group is a legal entity (it isn't), but because investors in the parent want to see the economic reality they actually own. The rule is brutal in its simplicity: take 100% of the parent + 100% of the subsidiary, line by line, then eliminate everything that would be double-counted or that never happened from the group's point of view. Everything in this chapter is a variation on that one move. THE WHOLE TOPIC Group accounts = (Parent + Subsidiary, 100% each) - eliminations eliminate: the parent's investment vs the sub's pre-acquisition equity . and every intragroup transaction Control - the trigger AASB 10 17 You consolidate if and only if the investor has control. Control is a matter of judgement and rests on capacity, not actual day-to-day exercise. All three elements must be present: Element What it means 1 . Power Existing rights giving the current ability to direct the investee's relevant activities - usually voting rights, or rights to appoint/remove key management 2 . Exposure or rights to returns that vary with Variable returns the investee's performance - dividends, access to its network, economies of scale 3 . Link The ability to use the power to affect the amount of those returns Power & share ownership 118 § >50% presumes power - but <50% can still control Owning >50% of voting rights presumes power (unless evidence rebuts it). But <50% can give control where other shares are dispersed/apathetic: hold 45% while 30 shareholders each hold <2% and rarely attend = you control. Conversely a 48% holder running day-to-day ops does not control if a 52% holder can take over whenever it disagrees. i Parent . subsidiary . group Parent = an entity that controls one or more entities. Subsidiary = an entity controlled by another. Group = a parent and its subsidiaries, presented as a single economic entity - the definition that drives every elimination. ★ What the exam asks for Half of a 20-mark constructed-response question, combining W10 and W11. You acquire a subsidiary and must: do the acquisition analysis (find goodwill), write the BCVR and pre-acquisition entries, then eliminate intragroup transactions with their tax effects - often across two reporting periods. "Show all workings". The journals are the marks. 27 . asksia. ai/library ASKSIA LIBRARY . ACX2100 . ACF2100 . ACB2120 . FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING THE METHOD - 4. 1 . THE METHOD AT ACQUISITION DATE Three steps, every time Acquisition analysis - BCVR entries - pre-acquisition elimination At the date the parent gains control, the group accounts are built with three worksheet steps. They are worksheet entries only - the parent's and sub's own ledgers are never touched, and because the worksheet is rebuilt from scratch each period, these entries are repeated every year (the topic's single most important mechanical rule). The full process has five steps; steps 1-3 below are the acquisition-date core. 1 Acquisition analysis. Compare what the parent paid (consideration transferred) with the fair value of identifiable net assets (FVINA) it acquired. The difference is goodwill (if you overpaid) or a gain on bargain purchase (if you underpaid). 2 BCVR entries. The sub carries some assets below fair value. Restate each to FV in the group accounts, recognising the tax effect as a deferred tax liability and the after-tax balance in a Business Combination Valuation Reserve.

Putting either into consideration is the classic 25-mark error. i Check the (a) entry balances Debits: 2,920 + 720 + 360 + 500 + 500 +589 = 5,589. Credits: 740 +300 +24 +4,000 +300+200 +25 = 5,589.

D. Consolidation（20 marks）：两条“条件反射”决定你能不能拿高分

书里给的合并定义很硬核：

Group accounts = (Parent + Subsidiary, 100% each) − eliminations。[17]Source: monash-acx2100-financial-accounting-exam-bible.pdf20-MARK WRITTEN Q Consolidation When one company controls another, the group reports as one entity A parent that controls a subsidiary must publish accounts for the whole group - not because the group is a legal entity (it isn't), but because investors in the parent want to see the economic reality they actually own. The rule is brutal in its simplicity: take 100% of the parent + 100% of the subsidiary, line by line, then eliminate everything that would be double-counted or that never happened from the group's point of view. Everything in this chapter is a variation on that one move. THE WHOLE TOPIC Group accounts = (Parent + Subsidiary, 100% each) - eliminations eliminate: the parent's investment vs the sub's pre-acquisition equity . and every intragroup transaction Control - the trigger AASB 10 17 You consolidate if and only if the investor has control. Control is a matter of judgement and rests on capacity, not actual day-to-day exercise. All three elements must be present: Element What it means 1 . Power Existing rights giving the current ability to direct the investee's relevant activities - usually voting rights, or rights to appoint/remove key management 2 . Exposure or rights to returns that vary with Variable returns the investee's performance - dividends, access to its network, economies of scale 3 . Link The ability to use the power to affect the amount of those returns Power & share ownership 118 § >50% presumes power - but <50% can still control Owning >50% of voting rights presumes power (unless evidence rebuts it). But <50% can give control where other shares are dispersed/apathetic: hold 45% while 30 shareholders each hold <2% and rarely attend = you control. Conversely a 48% holder running day-to-day ops does not control if a 52% holder can take over whenever it disagrees. i Parent . subsidiary . group Parent = an entity that controls one or more entities. Subsidiary = an entity controlled by another. Group = a parent and its subsidiaries, presented as a single economic entity - the definition that drives every elimination. ★ What the exam asks for Half of a 20-mark constructed-response question, combining W10 and W11. You acquire a subsidiary and must: do the acquisition analysis (find goodwill), write the BCVR and pre-acquisition entries, then eliminate intragroup transactions with their tax effects - often across two reporting periods.

THE METHOD AT ACQUISITION DATE Three steps, every time Acquisition analysis - BCVR entries - pre-acquisition elimination At the date the parent gains control, the group accounts are built with three worksheet steps. They are worksheet entries only - the parent's and sub's own ledgers are never touched, and because the worksheet is rebuilt from scratch each period, these entries are repeated every year (the topic's single most important mechanical rule). The full process has five steps; steps 1-3 below are the acquisition-date core. 1 Acquisition analysis. Compare what the parent paid (consideration transferred) with the fair value of identifiable net assets (FVINA) it acquired. The difference is goodwill (if you overpaid) or a gain on bargain purchase (if you underpaid). 2 BCVR entries. The sub carries some assets below fair value. Restate each to FV in the group accounts, recognising the tax effect as a deferred tax liability and the after-tax balance in a Business Combination Valuation Reserve.

你需要养成两条反射（书里称它们“carry the whole chapter”）

1. BCVR 是 after-tax：资产uplift 先按70%进BCVR，30%进DTL；然后在 pre-acquisition entry 里消掉。[5]Source: monash-acx2100-financial-accounting-exam-bible.pdfUnder the equity method, a dividend received from an associate is: A recognised as dividend revenue B a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment (Dr Cash / Cr Investment) C credited to the asset revaluation surplus D ignored entirely 49 . asksia. ai/library ASKSIA LIBRARY . ACX2100 . ACF2100 . ACB2120 . FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING - EXAM MORNING If you remember nothing else Six anchors across the whole paper - read it once, slowly, then breathe You already know this. This page is not new material; it is the short list of moves that quietly win the most marks. Read it once, then close the book. i 1 . Cash flow - rebuild every line Each cash figure comes from one T-account: opening + increases - decreases = closing, solve for cash. Six operating lines, the disposal chain, the dividend two-step. The three sections must reconcile to the movement in cash - if they don't, the error is yours to find before you leave the question. i 2 . Deferred tax - movement, not balance Run the four-step worksheet (carrying amount . tax base · temporary difference . DTA/DTL at 30%). Then journalise the movement from last year's balance to this year's - never the closing balance itself. A taxable difference builds a DTL; a deductible difference builds a DTA. i 3 . Business combinations Goodwill = Consideration transferred - FV of identifiable net assets (FVINA). Acquisition-related costs (legal, advisory) are expensed; share-issue costs go to equity. A bargain purchase (negative goodwill) is a gain in P/L after re-checking the FVINA. i 4 . Consolidation BCVR is after-tax: an asset uplift is recognised net (×70%) with a DTL on the 30%. The BCVR is eliminated in the pre-acquisition entry. Tax-effect every intragroup profit elimination - unrealised profit in closing inventory or on an asset sale is reversed net of 30% tax. i 5 . MCQs - the three that recur AASB S2 (climate) is mandatory; AASB S1 voluntary. Significant influence 20-50% (or 20%+ voting) - equity method.
