The following notes are relevant:

(i)

Revenue includes a $3 million sale made on 1 January 2015 of maturing goods which are not biological assets. The carrying amount of these goods at the date of sale was $2 million. Moston is still in possession of the goods (but they have not been included in the inventory count) and has an unexercised option to repurchase them at any time in the next three years. In three years’ time the goods are expected to be worth $5 million. The repurchase price will be the original selling price plus interest at 10% per annum from the date of sale to the
date of repurchase.

(ii)

Moston commenced a research and development project on 1 January 2015. It spent $1 million per month on research until 31 March 2015, at which date the project passed into the development stage. From this date it spent $1·6 million per month until the year end (30 June 2015), at which date development was completed. However, it was not until 1 May 2015 that the directors of Moston were confident that the new product would be a commercial success.
Expensed research and development costs should be charged to cost of sales.
