Case brief

Situation

Brasserie Lavandou SA (fictitious entity) closes its books on 31 December 20X5. A region notifies it at the closing date that three grants received must be repaid: an equipment grant presented as deferred income (A), an equipment grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (B) and a training grant recognised as income in 20X4.

Your assignment

Characterise the change; compute the immediate expense for A (cumulative releases already recognised) and for the training grant, and the catch-up depreciation for B; reconcile the deferred income of A; identify the missing information; assess the impairment of the new carrying amount of B; record the repayments (case data) and present their effect; conclude.

Work on this file as you would in practice: read the situation, open the documents, sort the useful information, then carry out the work requested. The solution is revealed once you submit.

Advanced level: no help, the work is grouped by kind.
