2. Ans
IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires that the particular entities (those with public
traded securities) for disclosing the information about the operating segments,
products and services, geographical area where they operate and the major
customer (IFRS, 2021b). Internal management reports are used to gather

the measurement of disclosed segment information.
Coles group sales from the supermarket has been reported by the $32 993
million and the EBIT is 1618; sales from the liquor is $3,308 million and the
EBIT is 138; and sales from express is $ 1,107 and the EBIT is 33. In
comparison to the previous year sales and the EBIT has been increased in this

liquor have been decreased in the year 2020 (Colesgroup, 2020). The sales

then off previous year.
3. Ans
the sum of (i) the value of the consideration transferred (generally at fair
value), (ii) the amount of any non-controlling interest (NCI,) and (iii) the
acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously-held equity interest
in the acquiree in a business combination achieved in stages.
the difference between the amounts paid for the identified assets bought
and the amounts paid for the liabilities taken on the date of acquisition
(measured in accordance with IFRS 3)
Coles group has reported the goodwill of $ 1153 (Million). This goodwill has been
recognized by the group as a result of the business combinations. It also
represents the future economic benefit that could be arise from the assets which
are not capable for identifying individually and recognized separately. Goodwill
has been originally identified as the excess of the sum paid by the Group in the
acquisition of a business over and above the fair value of the individual assets and
liabilities acquired in the acquisition. Goodwill is regarded as having an endless
useful economic life in the business world (Li and Taylor, 2018). As a result, it has
not been amortized, but rather assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be
impaired. It has been assumed by the group that goodwill will be carried at cost
less any cumulative impairment losses, and it would be allocated to cash
generating units for the purposes of impairment testing.
4. Ans
The group structure of Coles Group has been divided and reported by the
company in the 5 sections that includes:
Discontinued Operation
Any component of the Group that has been disposed of or that is classed
as held for sale is classified as discontinued operations by the Group. It has
been reported in the Group's FY19 financial report that during the prior
financial year, the following entities were material wholly-owned
subsidiaries until 19 November 2018,
1) Kmart Australia Limited and controlled entities
2) Target Australia Pty Ltd and controlled Entities
3) Officeworks Ltd and controlled entities
Subsidiaries
Coles Group Limited, a corporation formed in Australia, is the ultimate
parent firm of the Coles Group (Van Der Laan and Dean, 2010). Companies
acquired by Coles Group Limited are fully consolidated from the date of
acquisition, which is the date on which Coles Group Limited gains control,
and remain fully consolidated until the date on which control is
terminated. Control exists when the Group has the authority to manage
the financial and operating policies of an entity in order to reap the
benefits of its actions. The subsidiaries of the group include:
1) Andearp Pty Ltd
2) Australian Liquor Group ltd
3) Charlie Carter (Norwest) Pty Ltd
4) Chef Fresh Pty Ltd…, etc.
The financial statement of the group has been prepared in the Australian Dollar
which is the functional currency of the Group (Haque, Topal and Lilford, 2015).
Foreign currency transactions are converted by the group into the functional
currency at the time of the transaction using the exchange rates in effect at the
time of the transaction. It is customary to record foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, as well as from the
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at
the reporting date exchange rates, in profit or loss by the company. If the foreign
currencies are related to qualifying cash flow hedges, they are postponed in
equity until later by the group.
Following the use of the equity method, the Group evaluates whether or not it is
necessary to record an impairment loss for its investment in a joint venture or an
associate entity. During each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there
is objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture or associate has
been compromised. If such proof exists, the Group estimates the amount of
impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint
venture or associate and the carrying value of the joint venture or associate. Any
impairment loss will be recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss under the
heading "share of net profit of equity accounted investments."
