Motivate is an entity that prepares financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards. The consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2004 has just been prepared in draft form in readiness for presentation to the board of directors. You are provided with the following additional information regarding transactions during the period: (i) On 30 September 2003, Motivate sold a wholly owned subsidiary (Redundant) to Newco, an entity that was a subsidiary of a bank. The proceeds of disposal were $15 million and the net assets of Redundant at 30 September 2003 were $10 million. Newco borrowed $15 million from its parent to finance the purchase at an annual interest cost of 10%. The loan is repayable on 30 September 2023. As part of the sale agreement Motivate continued to control the operating and financial policies of Redundant and is due to receive an operating fee from Newco payable annually in arrears on 30 September each year. The fee is to be computed as: · the operating profit of Redundant for each year to 30 September; less · the interest payable by Newco on the borrowing to finance the purchase · if the interest payable exceeds the operating profit, then Motivate is required to make a payment to Newco in respect of the difference · in the year to 30 September 2023 any fee payable by Newco will be reduced by the loan repayment to the bank and if necessary Motivate will make a payment to Newco to fund any shortfall. The profit from operations of Redundant for the six months to 31 March 2004 was $200,000, but the directors of Motivate have made no entries in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2004 in respect of the operating fee.
