3 Johan, a public limited company, operates in the telecommunications industry. The industry is capital intensive withheavy investment in licences and network infrastructure. Competition in the sector is fierce and technologicaladvances are a characteristic of the industry. Johan has responded to these factors by offering incentives to customersand, in an attempt to acquire and retain them, Johan purchased a telecom licence on 1 December 2006 for$120 million. The licence has a term of six years and cannot be used until the network assets and infrastructure areready for use. The related network assets and infrastructure became ready for use on 1 December 2007. Johan couldnot operate in the country without the licence and is not permitted to sell the licence. Johan expects its subscriberbase to grow over the period of the licence but is disappointed with its market share for the year to 30 November2008. The licence agreement does not deal with the renewal of the licence but there is an expectation that theregulator will grant a single renewal for the same period of time as long as certain criteria regarding network buildquality and service quality are met. Johan has no experience of the charge that will be made by the regulator for therenewal but other licences have been renewed at a nominal cost. The licence is currently stated at its original cost of$120 million in the statement of financial position under non-current assets.Johan is considering extending its network and has carried out a feasibility study during the year to 30 November2008. The design and planning department of Johan identified five possible geographical areas for the extension ofits network. The internal costs of this study were $150,000 and the external costs were $100,000 during the yearto 30 November 2008. Following the feasibility study, Johan chose a geographical area where it was going to installa base station for the telephone network. The location of the base station was dependent upon getting planningpermission. A further independent study has been carried out by third party consultants in an attempt to provide apreferred location in the area, as there is a need for the optimal operation of the network in terms of signal qualityand coverage. Johan proposes to build a base station on the recommended site on which planning permission hasbeen obtained. The third party consultants have charged $50,000 for the study. Additionally Johan has paid$300,000 as a single payment together with $60,000 a month to the government of the region for access to the landupon which the base station will be situated. The contract with the government is for a period of 12 years andcommenced on 1 November 2008. There is no right of renewal of the contract and legal title to the land remains withthe government.Johan purchases telephone handsets from a manufacturer for $200 each, and sells the handsets direct to customersfor $150 if they purchase call credit (call card) in advance on what is called a prepaid phone. The costs of selling thehandset are estimated at $1 per set. The customers using a prepaid phone pay $21 for each call card at the purchasedate. Call cards expire six months from the date of first sale. There is an average unused call credit of $3 per cardafter six months and the card is activated when sold.Johan also sells handsets to dealers for $150 and invoices the dealers for those handsets. The dealer can return thehandset up to a service contract being signed by a customer. When the customer signs a service contract, thecustomer receives the handset free of charge. Johan allows the dealer a commission of $280 on the connection of acustomer and the transaction with the dealer is settled net by a payment of $130 by Johan to the dealer being thecost of the handset to the dealer ($150) deducted from the commission ($280). The handset cannot be soldseparately by the dealer and the service contract lasts for a 12 month period. Dealers do not sell prepaid phones, andJohan receives monthly revenue from the service contract.The chief operating officer, a non-accountant, has asked for an explanation of the accounting principles and practiceswhich should be used to account for the above events.Required:Discuss the principles and practices which should be used in the financial year to 30 November 2008 to accountfor:(a) the licences; (8 marks)
