QUESTION 2
(65 marks)
Rainbow (Pty) Ltd "Rainbow" has a diverse portfolio of operations. Their revenue portfolio ranges
from retail, property, leisure and manufacturing operations, one of a few companies in Namibia with
such diversification. One of their successfactors is their ability to increase their return on assets based
on their investment decisions. They have been operational in the country for the last 25 years and its
head office is located in Walvis Bay. The current reporting date is 31 December 2021.
Part A
(41 marks)
Head Office building
Rainbow has occupied their office building for the last 15 years and decided per resolution on 2
January 2021 to sell it as is before the end of the current reporting period to generate cash flows in
this difficult economic environment. The following information pertains to the Office Building:
• Acquired: 1 January 2006
• Cost at acquisition: N$12 500 000
• Useful life: 20 years
• Residual value: N$450 000
The last impairment assessment was performed on 31 December 2020, when the recoverable amount
was determined to be N$2 500 000.
Rainbow's management regards the sale to be highly probable and have committed to a plan to
complete the sale by the anticipated date of 1 January 2022.
Advertising costs and estate agent fees of N$300 000 were paid on 2 April 2021 to attract potential
buyers.
No significant changes have been made to the plan up until April 2021 and the estate agent has
indicated that the price set is in line with market expectations and therefore regarded as reasonable.
On 02 April 2021, the fair value less cost to sell amounted to N$2 300 000 and N$2 100 000 on 31
December 2021. The sale was completed on 31 December 2021 and proceeds were received to the
amount of N$2 200 000.
Required:
i. Discusswhether the Head Office building should be classified as Held for Sale per IFRS5, and
if so, when it should be classified as such.
(14 marks)
ii. Calculate the carrying amount on 31 December 2020 and any impairment losses if applicable.
(5 marks)
iii. Assuming the Head Office building meets the IFRS5 classification criteria; provide the general
journal entries of Rainbow (Pty) Ltd for the reporting periods ended 31 December 2020 and
2021. Provide the classification of the accounts (SPL,SFP,OCI etc).

Part B
Plant
(24 marks)
Rainbow owns a plant that originally cost N$700 000, with a residual value of nil. At 1 January 2019,
the accumulated depreciation amounted to N$140 000. The useful life was 10 years at acquisition
of the plant, and depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over its useful life. Plant is
held per the cost model in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.
By the end of the 2019 reporting period, it became clear that the plant did no longer perform
as needed, due to some changes in the market and because of its inability to manufacture products
of a high quality. The accountant therefore made the following estimates relating to the plant:
Fair value
N$
400 000
At that date, the accountant also determined that it would cost N$25 000 to sell the plant.
The plant is expected to generate the following net cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate of 15%:
(N$)
2019
2020
2021
2022
2023
80000
88 000
155 000
120 000
100 000
After investment in training of staff to operate plant, the company is now able to produce high quality
products and restore client confidence in their products and gain market share.
The 2020-year end assessment revealed the following:
Fair value less cost to sell: N$410 000
Value in Use: N$430 000
Required:
i. Calculate the recoverable amount and any impairment loss or impairment loss reversal for
the years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 respectively.
(14)
ii. Provide the general journal entries required for the reporting periods ended 31 December
2019, 2020 and 2021. Provide the classification of the accounts (SPL,SFP,OCI etc).
