II. Specific application
1. Future operating losses
In the past, provisions were recognized for future operating losses on the grounds of prudence. However these should not be provided for the following reasons.
①They relate to future events;
②There is no obligation to a third party. The loss-making business could be closed and the losses avoided.
2. Onerous contracts
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
A common example of an onerous contract is a lease on a surplus factory. The leaseholder is legally obliged to carry on paying the rent on the factory, but they will not get any benefit from using the factory.
The least net cost of an onerous contract should be recognized as a provision. The least net cost is the lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract or of terminating it and suffering any penalty payments.
Some assets may have been bought specifically for the onerous contract. These should be reviewed for impairment before any separate provision is made for the contract itself.
1Demo
Droopers has recently bought all of the trade, assets and liabilities of Dolittle, an unincorporatd business. As part of the take-over all of the combined business’s activities have been relocated at Droopers main site. As a result Dolittle’s premises are now empty and surplus to requirements.
However, just before the acquisition Dolittle had signed a three year lease for their premises at $6000 per calendar month. At 31 December 2003 this lease ad 32 months left to run and the landlord had refused to terminate the lease. A sub-tenant had taken over part of the premises for the rest of the lease at a rent of $2500 per calendar month.
Required
(a) Should Droopers recognized a provision for an onerous contract in respect of this lease?
(b) Show how this information will be presented in the financial statements for 2003 and 2004. Ignore the time value of money.
Solution:
Droopers has a legal obligation to pay a further $192000 to the landlord, as a result of a lease signed before the year end. Therefore an onerous contract exists and must be provided for.
There is also an amount recoverable form the sub-tenant of $80000(32×2500). This will be shown separately in the balance sheet as an asset.
The $192000 payable and the $80000 recoverable can be netted off in the income statement.

3. Restructuring
A restructuring is a programme that is planned and controlled by management and has a material effect on:
①The scope of a business undertaken by the reporting entity in terms of the products or services it provides; or
②The manner in which a business undertaken by the reporting entity is conducted;
Restructuring includes terminating a line of business, closure of business locations, changes in management structure, and refocusing a business’s operations.
Restructuring provisions have always been quite common, and have often been misused. IAS37 restricts the recognition of restructuring provisions to situations where an entity has a constructive obligation to restructure.
A constructive obligation will only arise if:
①There is a detailed formal plan for restructuring. This must identify the businesses, locations and employees affected; and
②Those affected have a valid expectation that the restructuring will be carried out. This can be by starting to implement the plan or by announcing it to those affected.
The constructive obligation must exist at the year-end.(Any obligation arising after the year end may require disclosure under IAS10)
A board decision alone will not create a constructive obligation unless:
①The plan is already being implemented. For example, assets are being sold, redundancy negotiations have begun; or
②The plan has been announced to those affected by it. The plan must have a strict timeframe without unreasonable delays; or
③The Board itself contains representatives of employees or other groups affected by the decision.(This is common in mainland Europe.)
An announcement to sell an operation will not create a constructive obligation. An obligation will only arise when a purchaser is found and there is a binding sale agreement.
A restructuring provision should only include the direct costs of restructuring. These must be both:
(a) Necessarily entailed by the restructuring; and
(b) Not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity;
The following costs must not be provided for because they relate to future events:
(a) Retaining or relocating staff;
(b) Marketing;
(c) Investment in new systems and distribution networks;
(d) Future operating losses (unless arising from an onerous contract)
(e) Profits on disposal of assets.

- acca考试怎么搭配科目?
-
建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考,这样可以提高备考效率,减轻备考压力,1、F1-F4:为随时机考科目,难度较低,这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9:如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话,推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7(8)再考F8(7),这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段:选修科目中,建议企业首选AFM!第二部分科目进行选择,如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好,可以通过选择AAA,如果SBL掌握的好,可以自己选择APM。
