    Each individual assignment should be submitted in electronic form only using the
    ‘Turnitin’ function on Blackboard (included within the ‘Assessment’ folder) by

    • Answers are to be 12 point font (either Times Roman or Arial) and paragraphs
    formatted with 1.5 line spacing and with margins not less than 2.5cm. The
    referencing used in all assessments in this unit should be in a consistent format.
    • You are required to prepare assignments for submission using specific formatting
    rules. In the header of your individual assignment you  must show (i) the ACCT

    Blackboard); (ii) the UOS code; (iii) the assessment reference; (iv) year; the (v)

    In this example the student reference number is 457 and the SID is 123456789.

    The contents of this individual assignment have been designed for educational

    information.

    Background and other important information to this individual assignment:
    As part of the pre work for an initial analyst briefing you have been requested to
    research specific aspects of the intended 100% acquisition of Asciano Limited
    (“Asciano”) by a jointly owned bid entity BidCo Holdings Pty Limited (“BidCo”).
    BidCo is an arrangement between the consortium of Qube Holdings Limited (“Qube”),
    Global Infrastructure Management Australia Pty Ltd (“GIP”), Canada Pension Plan
    Investment Board (“CPPIB”) and Beijing Shunrong Investment Corporation
    (“Shunrong”), hereafter referred to as the “Qube Consortium”. Further details of the
    intended acquisition and other related transactions are found in the Bid Implementation
    Deed dated 16 February 2016 available at:
    http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20160216/pdf/43529dswhhpz1l.pdf
    This document is 77 pages.
    Your assigned task for this individual assignment is to consider the financial reporting
    implications for the Qube Group acquiring a 100% interest in Asciano’s terminal and
    logistics business (“the Ports”). At the date of completing this individual assignment
    students must assume the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Competition
    and Consumer Commission have approved the Asciano acquisition and Ports
    transactions as included in the Bid Implementation Deed.
    Several stakeholders are interested in the accounting implications from the Asciano
    acquisition and Ports transactions. Hence, it is important for you to interpret the limited
    information that is currently available and make informed, considered and professional
    judgements. The questions in this individual assignment require you to investigate
    issues, effectively communicate relevant discussion and develop well argued
    conclusions. As described in the Appendix 1 assessment criteria, marks are allocated to
    communication skills. The submitted responses will be assessed against all components
    of the assessment criteria so as to provide students with appropriate feedback
    concerning their performance. Communication and writing assistance is available
    through the Learning Centre at:
    http://sydney.edu.au/stuserv/learning_centre/resour.shtml

    Required:
    Part A (14 marks)
    Provide a separate answer for each of the following Part A sub questions. Your Part A
    (a) and Part A (b) responses are required, in Part B of this individual assignment, to
    be linked to relevant discussion points in your Part B essay style response.
    a) Referring specifically to the recitals in the Bid Implementation Deed and Note
    5.2 to the Asciano’s 30 June 2015 financial statements as well as other relevant
    documentation explain how the:
    (i)  acquirer in the Qube Group; and
    (ii)  Qube Holdings Ltd
    will account for the Qube Group’s acquisition of the Asciano’s Ports business.
    Your explanations are to be accompanied by proforma journal entries in
    relation to this acquisition in Qube Holdings Limited and separately the
    acquirer in the Qube Group (Hint: Proforma journal entries only contain
    account names, no dollar amounts are required); and
    b) Using the Qube Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended
    30 June 2015 and relevant balances from Asciano’s 30 June 2015 financial
    statements, identify two (2) specific account balances that will change in future
    consolidated financial statements for the Qube Group when recognising
    Asciano’s Ports business as a wholly owned subsidiary. Your answer must also
    provide explanations why the change will occur in each account balance.
    Students are advised the thinking and analysis required within this individual
    assignment will be examined in a S1 2016 mid semester exam question. As part of
    your preparation for the mid semester exam, please ensure you independently and
    actively engage with each question in this individual assignment.

    Part B (16 marks)
    “The Qube equity component within the revised proposal provides Asciano
    shareholders with participation in the future upside of the combined Qube and
    Asciano’s Ports business and direct exposure to benefits of Qube’s strategy and
    management.”
    Using a concise essay style similar to the format you learnt in ACCT 6001, evaluate
    this statement. Your evaluation must consider and provide:
    a) a discussion of the AASB 10 definition of control and how it will or will not
    apply to the Qube Group’s interest in Asciano’s Port business. This discussion
    point is to be linked back to the two (2) specific account balances identified in
    your Part A (b) answer;
    b) a discussion of the Qube equity to Asciano shareholders component of the
    acquisition transaction and whether in your opinion it is or is not a
    characteristic of control. This discussion point is to be linked back to the
    explanation of the acquisition transaction included in your Part A (a) answer;
    and
    c) a persuasive conclusion in relation to the statement’s acclaimed benefits for
    Asciano shareholders from the Qube/Asciano business combination
    accompanied by one (1) supporting reason.
