(ii) Recycling is an issue for both the current performance statements and the single statement. Recycling occurs where an
item of financial performance is reported in more than one accounting period because the nature of the item has in some
way changed. It raises the question as to whether gains and losses originally reported in one section of the statement
should be reported in another section at a later date. An example would be gains/losses on the retranslation of the net
investment in an overseas subsidiary. These gains could be reported annually on the retranslation of the subsidiary and
then again when the subsidiary was sold.
The main arguments for recycling to take place are as follows:
1. when unrealised items become realised they should be shown again
2. when uncertain measurements become certain they should be reported again
3. all items should be shown in operating or financing activities at some point in time as all items of performance are
ultimately part of operating or financing activities of an entity.
There is no conceptual justification for recycling. Once an item has been recognised in a statement of financial
performance it should not be recognised again in a future period in a different part of that statement. Once an item is
recognised in the statement there is an assumption that it can be reliably measured and therefore it should be recognised
in the appropriate section of the statement with no reason to show it again.
Gains and losses should not be based on the notion of realisation. Realisation may have been a critical event historically
but given the current financial exposures of many entities, such a principle has limited value. A realised gain reflects the
same economic gain as an unrealised gain. Items should be classified in the performance statement on the basis of
characteristics which are more useful than realisation. The effect of realisation is explained better in the cash flow
statement. Realisation means different things in different countries. In Europe and Asia it refers to the amount of
distributable profits but in the USA it refers to capital maintenance. The amount of distributable profits is not an
accounting but a legal issue, and therefore realisation should not be the overriding determinant of the reporting of gains
and losses.
An alternative view could be that an unrealised gain is more subjective than a realised gain. In many countries, realised
gains are recognised for distribution purposes because of their certainty because this gives more economic stability to
the payment of dividends.

(i) National insurance contributions in 2007/08
The profit for the period ending 31 March 2008 is expected to be ￡1,200 (￡400 x 3).
No class 2 contributions will be due as the profit is less than the small earnings exception limit of ￡4,465.
No class 4 contributions will be due as the profit is less than the lower profits limit of ￡5,035.
Tutorial note
Adam will have paid class 1 contributions in respect of his earnings from Rheims Ltd, thus preserving his entitlement
to state benefits and pension, and therefore there is no disadvantage in claiming the small earnings exemption from
class 2 contributions.
(ii) Purchase and renovation of the theatre
The theatre is a capital purchase that does not qualify for capital allowances as it is a building but not an industrial
building. Accordingly, the cost of purchasing the theatre will not give rise to a tax deduction for the purpose of computing
AS’s taxable trading income.
The tax treatment of the renovation costs may be summarised as follows:
– The costs will be disallowed if the renovations are necessary before the theatre can be used for business purposes.
This is because they will be regarded as further capital costs of acquiring appropriate premises.
– Some of the costs may be allowable if the condition of the theatre is such that it can be used in its present state
and the renovations are more in the nature of cosmetic improvements.
(iii) VAT position
The grant of a right to occupy the theatre in exchange for rent is an exempt supply. Accordingly, as all of AS’s activities
will be regarded as one for VAT purposes, AS will become partially exempt once he begins to rent out the theatre.
AS will be able to recover the input tax that is directly attributable to his standard rated supplies, i.e. those in connection
with the supply of children’s parties. He will also be able to recover a proportion of the input tax on his overheads; the
proportion being that of his total supplies that are standard rated.
The remainder of his input tax will only be recoverable if it is no more than ￡625 per month on average and no more
than 50% of his total input tax.
If AS were to opt to tax the theatre, the right to occupy the theatre in exchange for rent would then be a standard rated
supply. AS could then recover all of his input tax, regardless of the amount attributable to the rent, but would have to
charge VAT on the rent and on any future sale of the building.
The decision as to whether or not to opt to tax the theatre will depend on:
– the amount of input tax at stake; and
– whether or not those who rent the theatre are in a position to recover any VAT charged.

正确答案：
(ii) Fair value option
As set out above, the standard permits entities to designate irrevocably on initial recognition any financial asset or liability
as one to be measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair value option was generally
introduced to reduce profit or loss volatility as it can be used to measure an economically matched position in the same
way (at fair value). Additionally it can be used in place of IAS 39’s requirement to separate embedded derivatives as
the entire contract is measured at fair value with changes reported in profit or loss.
Although the fair value option can be of use, it can be used in an inappropriate manner thus defeating its original
purpose. For example, companies might apply the option to instruments whose fair value is difficult to estimate so as
to smooth profit or loss as valuation of these instruments might be subjective. Also the use of this option might increase
rather than decrease volatility in profit or loss where, for example, a company applies the option to only one part of a
‘matched’ position. Finally, if a company applied the option to financial liabilities, it might result in the company
recognising gains or losses for changes in its own credit worthiness.
The IASB has issued an exposure draft amending IAS 39 in this area restricting the financial assets and liabilities to
which the fair value option can be applied.
I hope that the above information is useful.
