Scenario 3: Leases
Part A
Chi Herbal Ltd should base their classification criteria on the following:
- The lessee cannot cancel the lease contract. A finance lease cannot be canceled as the lessee has the ownership of the property for the time agreed.
- The lessee enjoys all the rewards and takes all the risks of the asset until it is returned, on the date agreed.
- The finance lease treatment is similar to that of the loan as It appears in the balance sheets.
- Linhong, G., & Jun, L. (2017) stated that, the present value of the minimum lease payments is substantial all the economic
life of the leased asset.
PV of MLP = 30,500 x 2.8550 + 3,115 x 0.4972
= 30,500 + 85,650+ 1,350
=103,791
Present Value of Minimum Lease Payment ÷ Future Value= 103,791÷ 129,000 = 80.5%
(v) The five-year lease term represents the asset life (i.e. 5/6*100 =83.3%)
(vi) The lessee bears all maintenance and insurance costs consistent with ownership. The lessee incurs all insurance and maintenance cost just like the owner of the asset.
The Chi herbal should classify as a finance lease.
PV of MLP = 30 500 x 3.3522 + 3,115 x 0.4972
= 1,022,42.1 + 1548.778 =
=103790.9

Scenario 4: Intangible Assets
Introduction
In the 2014/2015, the chi herbal had finished the project believing that, it was going to be successful. Although the company had the freedom to do what it takes to make sure that, the problem is solved, but had to follow the guidelines provided in paragraph 57 of the AASB 138. The start and the end of the project should be predetermined in accordance with some factors listed and explained below. It is accountable for its outlay in the following ways (.
Technical feasibility
Linhong, G., & Jun, L. (2017) explained that, The company will be accountable for the unproductivity of the project if it occurs. It is very difficult to forecast the future of any business in terms of profitability or ability to serve what it is supposed. To reduce this, the Chi herbal must do some research. Regarding the international financial reporting standards, the carrying cost must be equal to the fair value of the asset.
During the viable period of the asset to be introduced, the chi herbal should make sure that the revaluation is taken into account. The revaluation process helps the owner of the asset to keep its updated value anytime and therefore avoid unproductive projects. The workability and flexibility are the other important aspects of the business projects to consider. It is not sensible when the machine that is not operable is introduced in the market for serving other people.
According to paragraph 57 of AASB, the asset should be categorized as either intangible or not tangible in nature. Intangible assets are like goodwill, permits, patents, copywrites and trademarks. This intangible asset is also considered in the valuation of the asset. Other intangible assets like the trademarks should be measured initially at cost according to the paragraph 58 of AASB. The chi herbal is accountable for such costs and should be taken care of at the start of the business. Both types of the assets should be well categorized so as for the project to be recognizable as stated by Linhong, G., & Jun, L. (2017). The fixed asset is considered as the asset that can be transferred and the intangible asset is known by its nature of not able to see, touch or physically transfer it. This is in accordance with paragraph 57 of AASB.
Scenario 1 Financing Company Operations
Intention to complete and sell
The chi herbal does the research, prepares the patent, and until it is complete, it can be used. It must be clear that the intention of the business is to complete and also to sell. Paragraph 34 of AASB states that the cost of research on an internal project should be considered when incurred. The chi herbal must have considered this during the research period of 2011 and 2012. From where it now moves to the testing period. Wong, K., & Joshi, M. (2015) stated that, for the patenting, the government will make sure that every move until the time it is complete is countable and it followed the provisions of AASB and the law.
Chi herbal will keep records of the patent administration so as to keep evidence of ownership. Bear in mind that, anybody can claim for the properties that are viable economically and hence still the innovative or incentive techniques of the other. The chi herbal should be accountable for any error or misrepresentation until it is complete.
The project must be able to sell and being used
In the year 2016/2017, the project was modified to make it sellable due to arising design problems. The chi herbal must reduce the claims related to the warranty regarding the operation of the filter system. The chi herbal is accountable for such claims and should make sure that everything operates at a very high efficiency. The project must have the demand, and the filter system usable by the users. The intangible assets are acquired when the government is sure that, what you did is viable and carries an economic value.
A good invention or innovation attracts the economic factors and therefore, its survival will be based on them and their fore leads to the legal ownership. The invention and innovation show a unique acquired skill of a person that should be protected. The chi herbal must have come up with the solution to solve the existing problem, and therefore, the solution must be usable by the whole community as should be researched in 2011 to 2012 and 2012 to 2013. And, the testing in 2014 and 2015 should ensure the compatibility between the customer and the problem.
The existence of a market
Chi herbal is accountable to make sure that there is a market for their product. There must be a customer and a certain price which the customer is supposed to pay. As done in 2026/2017, the research done to modify the design may be meant to enhance the market share, ore to attract hire price. More so, the chi herbal identified the market before, in connection to the available gap for the need for filters, to eliminate the iron content.
Linhong, G., & Jun, L. (2017) also concluded that, for the market to exist, there must be a high demand for the product is started. Chi herbal had been looking at what the farmers are going through and thereafter came the solution to solve this and enable the customers to use the clean water in their production and hence increases the productivity. This company had also helped to curb the problem that could arise due to shortages of the farming products in the market. The shortage is also the determinant what the customers want from the filter system
Availability of resources
The chi herbal will be accountable for the resources available. This company had enough resources when they were making this product. The resources include human resource and the raw materials. The company used the raw materials in a way that could help them achieve what they wanted. This means that they could be able to budget for the available resources and come up with a sensible product that can boost the economy.
More so, the resources also include the acceptance of the project by the government that could lead to the patent offers. In 2016/2017, the company had prepared some fees to pay for the patent. In 2017/2018, the company had to pay some fees for the patent, so that, no one could come up with the fake product like that. Chi herbal also had enough financial resources to cater for every activity needed regarding this project.
Ability to measure costs reliably
After the modification of the design in 2016/2017, the product cost was readily available. According to the paragraph 57 of AASB 138. Linhong, G., & Jun, L. (2017) explained that, It is advisable to record and measure the cost outlay appropriately, whether intangible or tangible. This will help with the knowledge of patent cost and other intangible assets. It also helps the project to run in a way that is profitable and accountable.
Conclusion
The cost incurred in 2017/2018 is the only amount that can be capitalized. The expensed money is all the amount of money incurred until 2016 and 2017.
