ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
This Assignment is worth 20% of the total assessment for this unit. This assignment will be marked out of 100 and scaled down to being out of 20. The assignment has 5 questions.
Question 1
Read the following adaptation of an article entitled ‘CBA in payout on “toxic” products’ by Leo Shanahan that appeared in The Australian on 4 April 2015.
In 2012 a claim was lodged in the Federal Court against the Commonwealth Bank by Gloucester Council and an investment company, Clurname, alleging that CBA had breached its duty of care and engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct in selling them ‘toxic’ investments, ignoring their request for conservative investments. Eventually around 35 investors, who had been sold $140 million worth of AAA-rated collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), participated in the class action.
CBA settled with the investors for $50 million, including legal fees, and agreed to pay $1.5 million to International Litigation Partners, funder of the class action.
The bank refused to comment on the settlement, saying the court still had to approve it, although CBA had previously said the investor’s claim had no merit. In the course of the case it had been revealed that CBA had settled with at least 14 other CDO investors.
CBA had earlier been faced with the fallout from the frauds perpetrated by some of its financial planners, which led to public apologies and expensive settlements.
REQUIRED
On the basis of the brief information provided, consider how, if you were the chief accountant at the Commonwealth Bank, the case would be disclosed within the annual report of CBA. What factors would you consider in determining the form the disclosures should take, and in which years the disclosures would be made?
(15 Mark)
Question 2

• Date of entering lease: 1 July 2019.
• Duration of lease: four years.
• Life of leased asset: five years.
• Lease payments: $50 000 at the beginning of each year.

2. Prepare a schedule for the lease payments incorporating accrued interest expense.
3. Prepare the journal entries to account for the lease in the books of Hopeful Ltd at 1 July 2019, 30 June 2020 and 1 July 2020.
4. At the termination of the lease, Hopeful Ltd returns the portable sound recording studio to Lessor Ltd, but its fair value at that time is $25 000.

Question 3
Alexandra Bay Ltd has five employees. According to their particular employment award, long-service leave can be taken after 12 years, at which time the employee is entitled to 10 weeks’ leave. If an employee were to leave before the completion of 12 years’ service, no entitlement would be paid.
High-quality corporate bond rates exist with periods to maturity that exactly match the various periods that must still be served by the employees before LSL entitlements vest with them.
The projected inflation rate for the foreseeable future is 2 per cent. The projected probabilities that the employees will stay long enough for the LSL to vest—that is, for a total of 12 years—are as follows:
