Q5: As the financial director of Bellrock plc, you have the following to consider in the
accounts for the year to 31 December 2014.
(i) A customer has made a claim against Bellrock for defective goods sold during the
current year. The claim is nearing settlement and Bellrock’s legal advisers think it is
probable that a sum of £300,000 will be paid by Bellrock in settlement, in addition to
all legal costs.
(ii) Bellrock sells goods with a warranty. If minor defects arose in all products sold,
repair costs of £2 million would arise. If major defects arose in all products sold,
repair costs of £8 million would arise. Bellrock’s experience is that 20% of sales lead
to claims for minor defects and 5% lead to claims for major defects.
(iii) In September 2014 Bellrock relocated to new office premises. The lease on the
old premises runs to 31 December 2016 at a rent of £180,000 per year. Bellrock has
been unable to find a tenant to sub-let the old office premises.
(iv) Bellrock has a provision of £200,000 brought forward at 1 January 2014 against
a legal claim. During the year to 31 December 2014, Bellrock won this court action
and therefore the provision is no longer needed. However, environmental penalties
of some £200,000 have been threatened by the Health & Safety Executive and it is
probable that this cost will have to be paid. The directors have therefore proposed
that the provision be carried forward.
(v) In October 2014, a member of staff was injured while demonstrating a mountain
bicycle. The Health & Safety Executive has alleged that the company was at fault.
Bellrock Plc’s solicitors believe the company will lose this case brought against it.
Required
Explain, quantifying your answer where possible, how the above should be
accounted for in accordance with IAS 37.
