1. Cairns Ltd has recently purchased land to be used as corporate headquarters. However,I am unsure whether the following items should be capitalised into the cost of the
land. Please indicate whether or not they should be capitalized. If they should not,
please explain how to account for these costs.
a. Costs incurred to demolish a small factory located on the land when it was
purchased
b. A substantial amount of rock blasting and removal of soil had to be completed
prior to the construction of the foundations of the building.
c. Because the office building was set back from the public road, a paved road
that led from the public highway to the entrance to the office building was
constructed.
2. Cairns Ltd has received 1,000 shares in Geraldton Ltd, trading at $4 each, as a gift
from a grateful client. Could you please explain the principles of how to account for
these shares by reference to the Conceptual Framework?
3. Cairns Ltd has recently bought a café with a panoramic view of the coast from its
windows and we are convinced that this panoramic view attracts customers to our
café. According to the Conceptual Framework, is it permissible to recognise this view
as an asset?
