LIMIT 3 pages (excludes Appendix and the Reference List)
WEIGHTING 20% (40 marks)
REQUIREMENTS:
You are required to individually prepare business advice to the directors of Snow Protek Ltd. The following professional writing protocols have been adopted by your firm for correspondence with all clients:
• All client correspondence is to be single line spaced on A4 paper with 2.5cm for all margins.
• Font to be used is Times New Roman font size 11.
• All calculations should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount/percentage.
Important notes relating to referencing:
• Harvard referencing is to be adopted for in-text reference, other than for accounting standards (see note below), and for the reference list.
• Ensure you use the most recent version of AASB 138 Intangible Assets as issued in December 2015.
• For the in-text referencing from the accounting standards, you must cite the specific provisions including paragraph from the relevant AASB. One of the following two examples should be adopted: AASB 102:11 or AASB 102 para. 11. However, do not reproduce significant parts of the regulation as this would not be appropriate when presenting your advice to a client. The focus should be on interpretation and application of the standard, with a concise, well-structured analysis for your client with key referencing to critical elements of the appropriate accounting standards.
• A ‘Formal Report’ structure with an Executive Summary and Table of Contents is NOT required given the brevity of the required information.
• This assessment must be the sole work of the individual student and not done in collaboration with other students. Students may discuss with one another the general principles of the Accounting Standards; however, you may not collaborate/discuss on the specifics of the proposal or how the Standards are relevant to the proposal.
Case Study
The following business situation has been presented to your firm for advice.
Snow Protek Ltd is a small company. Because of a successful research project the company expects rapid growth over the next five to ten years. As a reporting entity, Snow Protek Ltd is required to comply with all accounting standards.
As shown in the following extract from its draft Statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016 prepared by the company, Snow Protek Ltd has two separate classes of intangible assets:
Intangible Assets as at 30 June 2016:
Brand name (at directors’ valuation June 2013) $800,000 Research and development asset at cost $1,710,000
Snow Protek Ltd has provided the following additional details relating to each item.
Brand Name
In January 2013, Snow Protek Ltd purchased a successful brand of sun hats for $500,000. The hats, called Snowsafe, are specially designed for use in snowy conditions. Based on years of experience in the industry, Snow Protek Ltd’s Managing Director (MD) valued the brand name conservatively at 80% of its estimated value in use ($1,000,000) on 30 June 2013. The brand name has not been amortised because, as the MD says, “there is no telling just how long these hats will sell”. Over the last two years, numerous competing products have emerged under similar brand names and several of those brands have sold to new owners.
In the 2015-2016 financial year, Snow Protek Ltd spent $300,000 on advertising and marketing of its Snowsafe brand and sales have increased slightly. The MD wishes to increase the value of the brand name by $300,000 to $1,100,000 because any decline in sales has been avoided.
Research and Development
The research and development asset relates to two projects:
Project 1: Face Cream – Research and Development asset – $1,260,000
Project 1 is concerned with a new form of face cream that, within 1 minute of application, provides an effective barrier to wind burn for a period of 12 hours. There is great excitement about the potential of this product. Snow Protek Ltd is currently building production facilities for the new face cream and expects these facilities to be completed by 1 July 2016 at which time commercial production will commence. Further details on these costs are as follows.
Costs incurred by Snow Protek Ltd in previous accounting periods – $800,000 The prior periods’ costs included:
• $100,000 related to research on the effect of UV rays on various skin types;
• $200,000 was spent on investigating methods to increase the effective protection time of the face cream.
• $500,000 was spent on developing a face cream that could be easily applied and had a pleasing smell and texture.
In the prior periods no market research was conducted but the MD of Snow Protek Ltd was confident of obtaining large sales in Australia and New Zealand.
Cost incurred by Snow Protek Ltd in the current accounting period (2015/2016) – $460,000
The $460,000 costs incurred during the current period relate to the successful development of techniques to produce the face cream in large, economically viable quantities. During the current period, an external consultant undertook the first market research of the face cream’s potential sales. The research results conclusively confirmed that there is a large, highly profitable market for the cream in both Australia and New Zealand.
Project 2: New Fabric – Research and Development asset – $450,000
Project 2 relates to the design of a new fabric for ski jackets that Snow Protek Ltd has been investigating for a number of years. Costs incurred in prior periods of $300,000 relate to research on different types of technologies potentially available to make a highly insulating but non-sweaty material. In the current period, an additional $150,000 has been incurred. However, due to economic constraints faced by the company, project 2 was abandoned on the 1 June 2016.
Required:
You represent the accounting firm advising Snow Protek Ltd as to its compliance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Comment on all matters relating to the past and current accounting treatment of the intangible assets described above, providing clear explanations to support your answers. This should include comment on the appropriate value of each intangible asset at 30 June 2016 based on the appropriate basis of measurement (cost model, revaluation model or recoverable amount) and discussion on amortization. Your discussion should include comments on any past accounting treatment described above that are not consistent with AASB 138, with the appropriate treatment that should have been adopted.

Assignment 4 – Experiment Design & Result Analysis
Semester 2, 2016
Due Date: 11:59pm, Friday, Week 12
Submission Requirement: submit online via a link in Assessment on VU Collaborate
Value: 25% of semester assessment
Objective:
The purpose of this assignment is to help students getting familiar with the process of design and implement experiments for their research projects. Students will review, analyse, design, implement experiments to evaluate the proposed methodology in previous assignment, and report experimental results and findings as well.
Tasks:
1. Collect your data for experiment
a. Identify the available data sources for collection.
b. Select the most appropriate data source(s) and start data collection. You are asked to record the data sources that you have found, brief description of the available data using the following sample table:

2. Design and implement experiments
a. Adopt data pre-processing. Not all the collected raw data are available as direct input of your methodology.
b. Feature selection or dimension reduction. You may need to select some of data features or data records from the entire data collection, not to use all the collected data. In other case, you may need to reduce the dimensionality of the collected data to simplify the data processing in the later stages. You need to save the result data set into a new file. You are asked to record these works using the following sample table.

d. To implement your experiment, normally you need to use software/tools or write your own program. Record your experiment results for each run as the references of the following analysis task.
3. Result analysis and summary
a. What are the expected results that you want to obtained from the experiment? You need to have a rough idea of what you may have in advance; you cannot wait until the experiment is done.
b. Plan your result analysis by thinking of what result you may have first. Write a summary of why you expected to have that results, how they can be linked to your research problems.
4. Write up your experiment and result analysis chapter.
a. Provide an outline of your experiment and result analysis chapter, including up to four levels of subsections. Only need to list the chapter titles (level 1), section titles (level 2), subsection titles (level 3), and sub-subsection titles (level 4).

Research Proposal Report
Report Structure and Presentation 5
Your report should include a title page and Table of Contents.
Note: Make sure to state your name and student number in the report on the title page. State the word count of the report (from Introduction to Report Section 7)
Report: Abstract (approx. 300 words) 5
Your report should include an abstract of the proposal. An abstract is a brief summary of the proposal, NOT the introduction to the proposal. Abstract writing requires you to convey as much as possible in as few words as possible. Abstract is written last. Please include the following in the abstract:
• What the research is about and aims to achieve? (research questions) • How the research intends to achieve its objectives?
Report: Introduction (approx. 500 words) 5
Your report should include an introduction to the report. The introduction should be engaging.
• Give some background information (area and research topic) to provide a context for the report
• State the purpose of the report (statement of purpose)
• Clarify key terms and indicate the scope of the report (i.e. what the report will cover)
Report Section 1 – Research Questions (approx. 800 words) 10
In this section, you should write the questions the research is trying to answer. The research questions provide a clear picture of the purpose of the research. Therefore, the research question generally follows from the statement of purpose of the report (Introduction). You need to build an argument based on the purpose of the research and then state your research questions.
You might have a general-to-specific framework of research questions; or an exploratory study that states the general questions and how they might be refined during the research.
EXAMPLE:
General Research Question:
To what extent does social media in e-commerce impact on intention to purchase by online users?
Specific Research Questions:
• What is the influence of social media information on online users?
• How can social media transfer trust in e-commerce for online users?
• How does social media usage, information influences and trust transfer result in purchase intentions by online users?
Report Section 2 – Conceptual Framework (approx. 800 words) 10
A wide variety of approaches are possible to demonstrate conceptual framework of your research. This section must demonstrate how all the important constructs in your studies are related. This can be often done effectively using a diagram and then an explanation of the diagram. If your conceptual framework is only an initial draft that can be modified later, please state so. The role of theory must be demonstrated here – are you proposing some kind of theory development (design theory, principles, methods, models, concepts, etc.) or theory verification? If you are proposing to verify an existing theory, please state hypotheses and refer to the theory behind your research conceptual framework.
Report Section 3 – Literature (approx. 800 words) 10
In this section, your proposal must identify the body of literature that is relevant to your research. You should demonstrate how your proposed research is related to the relevant literature and how the literature will be used in the proposed research to justify and explain the directions of your research.
Your work in Assignment 1 (critical literature review) should provide a strong background to write this section. You can re-use what you did in Assignment 1, however the writing must be repurposed to sharpen the focus of your research work and to give a logical structure to your research questions and conceptual framework.
EXAMPLE:
Social media usage can greatly enhance social presence in e-commerce. Social presence is “communicator’s sense of awareness of the presence of an interaction partner” and purchasing requires relatively high level of social presence (Weisberg, Te’eni, & Arman, 2011). It is therefore important to note that social media usage is becoming increasingly common in e-commerce and their relationship is important to understand.
People make purchasing decisions based on consumer-created information over the Internet (Godes & Mayzlin, 2004). Social media are credible third-party platform for open information sharing unlike online customer reviews where unfavourable comments may be deleted and favourable comments may be repeated to manipulate information depending on seller’s purposes (Lee, Park, & Han, 2011). Since, the first-hand information present on social media is not under the direct control of the e-commerce sellers, social media can have greater influence in providing information that facilitates social word-of-mouth.
A study by Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman (1995) proposed the theory of trust with three dimensions: ability, benevolence, and integrity. In the context of e-commerce, ability can refer to seller’s capabilities to uphold their commitments in their online business. Benevolence is defined as seller’s obligations to provide value-added benefits to online consumers and Integrity determines the degree of positive attitude and credibility of ecommerce sellers.
A number of solutions have been proposed that can enhance trust in e-commerce and one of them is the mechanism of trust transfer from a trusted source to e-commerce. A study by Lee, Park & Han (2011) expands the trust model in the e-commerce environment to include the trust transfer from consumer communities such as social media. Consumers trust the recommendations of their peers making social media an ideal platform of trust transfer to spread their thoughts and experiences regarding online purchases.
In context of e-commerce, consumer intention to purchase relates to exogenous factors like trust and previous online shopping experience (Monsuwe, Dellaert, & de Ruyter, 2004). Combined with the information influences and trust transfer, social media usage have a strong social context, therefore social media usage can potentially determine purchase intentions in e-commerce by online users.
Report Section 4 – Methods (approx. 800 words) 10
In this section, the overall approach to be taken in your research – quantitative, qualitative or both – must be clearly stated. In this section, you should answer the following:
• What research methodology is proposed? Qualitative, Quantitative, Mixed?
• What is the sampling strategy, the sample size and rationale of sample selection?
• What data collection instruments (survey, interview questionnaire, protocols) are used or generated?
• How the research data is collected and what are the procedures followed for quality data collection?
• How the data will be analysed (statistical analysis, thematic coding)?
EXAMPLE:
This research will consider online users’ opinions about social media usage that may influence purchasing behaviour in e-commerce. The study will conduct a quantitative, positivist analysis of social media impact on e-commerce.
Population of this study includes social media users who have at least one social media profile that they use regularly (eg. Facebook, Twitter or Instagram). Survey will be undertaken in a university environment with a sample of 200 students as respondents. Undertaking an online survey with students is relatively accessible in a university setting. Likewise, university students represent active social media users who are familiar with online shopping. Student sample is also justified because social media users fit nicely with the demographics of college students aged between 18 to 34 years which also represents the highest concentration of social media users among all age groups (Neilson Research, 2011).
This study will utilise questionnaires as a primary instrument for data collection conducted via online survey. The survey questionnaire will compose of two sections: first part will gather basic demographic information and the second part is related to the constructs developed in the conceptual model of this study. The research instrument will be adopted from prior studies and adjusted accordingly to make it relevant to social media and ecommerce relationship for the research study and then the instrument will be validated for reliability of the construct model. Questions related to the construct model will be measured using scaling response approach of an established seven-point Likert scale.
Firstly, the developed research measurement model’s validity and reliability are assessed and confirmed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. This will include measuring goodness of fit of the collected data and instrument validity measures. Structured Equation Modelling (SEM) will then be employed for data analysis and testing hypothesised relationships as required in the research model so that the dependent variable (online users’ intention to purchase) can be observed from the predicting variables developed. Finally, sample respondents will also be analysed with descriptive statistics using frequency tables, cross tabulations and analysis of variances (ANOVA) where applicable.
Report Section 5 – Significance (approx. 500 words) 5
In this section, your proposal must state the significance of your proposed research. This section must answer the question: “why is your research worth doing?”
You can include the following arguments as part of this section:
• justification of your research
• importance/ impact of your research
• contributions your research can make o to the body of knowledge/ literature o to practice/ industry o to policy/ government
• intended outcomes of your research
Report Section 6 – Limitations and Delimitations (approx. 400 words) 5
In this section, your proposal must state the limiting conditions that is unavoidable in your research. All research has limitations and they must be noted in your proposal so that you demonstrate you know these challenges in your research.
Besides the statement of limitations, you must also define “delimitations” – drawing the boundaries around your research study to show what is included and what is NOT included in your research work.
Report Section 7 – Ethical Issues (approx. 400 words) 5
In this section, you discuss the consent, access and associated ethical issues of your research, particularly when your research is based on data from people and about people. You need to discuss this by anticipating what ethical issues may arise in your proposed project and how you will deal with those issues.

Research Proposal Report
Report Structure and Presentation 5
Your report should include a title page and Table of Contents.
Note: Make sure to state your name and student number in the report on the title page. State the word count of the report (from Introduction to Report Section 7)
Report: Abstract (approx. 300 words) 5
Your report should include an abstract of the proposal. An abstract is a brief summary of the proposal, NOT the introduction to the proposal. Abstract writing requires you to convey as much as possible in as few words as possible. Abstract is written last. Please include the following in the abstract:
• What the research is about and aims to achieve? (research questions) • How the research intends to achieve its objectives?
Report: Introduction (approx. 500 words) 5
Your report should include an introduction to the report. The introduction should be engaging.
• Give some background information (area and research topic) to provide a context for the report
• State the purpose of the report (statement of purpose)
• Clarify key terms and indicate the scope of the report (i.e. what the report will cover)
Report Section 1 – Research Questions (approx. 800 words) 10
In this section, you should write the questions the research is trying to answer. The research questions provide a clear picture of the purpose of the research. Therefore, the research question generally follows from the statement of purpose of the report (Introduction). You need to build an argument based on the purpose of the research and then state your research questions.
You might have a general-to-specific framework of research questions; or an exploratory study that states the general questions and how they might be refined during the research.
EXAMPLE:
General Research Question:
To what extent does social media in e-commerce impact on intention to purchase by online users?
Specific Research Questions:
• What is the influence of social media information on online users?
• How can social media transfer trust in e-commerce for online users?
• How does social media usage, information influences and trust transfer result in purchase intentions by online users?
Report Section 2 – Conceptual Framework (approx. 800 words) 10
A wide variety of approaches are possible to demonstrate conceptual framework of your research. This section must demonstrate how all the important constructs in your studies are related. This can be often done effectively using a diagram and then an explanation of the diagram. If your conceptual framework is only an initial draft that can be modified later, please state so. The role of theory must be demonstrated here – are you proposing some kind of theory development (design theory, principles, methods, models, concepts, etc.) or theory verification? If you are proposing to verify an existing theory, please state hypotheses and refer to the theory behind your research conceptual framework.
Report Section 3 – Literature (approx. 800 words) 10
In this section, your proposal must identify the body of literature that is relevant to your research. You should demonstrate how your proposed research is related to the relevant literature and how the literature will be used in the proposed research to justify and explain the directions of your research.
Your work in Assignment 1 (critical literature review) should provide a strong background to write this section. You can re-use what you did in Assignment 1, however the writing must be repurposed to sharpen the focus of your research work and to give a logical structure to your research questions and conceptual framework.
EXAMPLE:
Social media usage can greatly enhance social presence in e-commerce. Social presence is “communicator’s sense of awareness of the presence of an interaction partner” and purchasing requires relatively high level of social presence (Weisberg, Te’eni, & Arman, 2011). It is therefore important to note that social media usage is becoming increasingly common in e-commerce and their relationship is important to understand.
People make purchasing decisions based on consumer-created information over the Internet (Godes & Mayzlin, 2004). Social media are credible third-party platform for open information sharing unlike online customer reviews where unfavourable comments may be deleted and favourable comments may be repeated to manipulate information depending on seller’s purposes (Lee, Park, & Han, 2011). Since, the first-hand information present on social media is not under the direct control of the e-commerce sellers, social media can have greater influence in providing information that facilitates social word-of-mouth.
A study by Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman (1995) proposed the theory of trust with three dimensions: ability, benevolence, and integrity. In the context of e-commerce, ability can refer to seller’s capabilities to uphold their commitments in their online business. Benevolence is defined as seller’s obligations to provide value-added benefits to online consumers and Integrity determines the degree of positive attitude and credibility of ecommerce sellers.
A number of solutions have been proposed that can enhance trust in e-commerce and one of them is the mechanism of trust transfer from a trusted source to e-commerce. A study by Lee, Park & Han (2011) expands the trust model in the e-commerce environment to include the trust transfer from consumer communities such as social media. Consumers trust the recommendations of their peers making social media an ideal platform of trust transfer to spread their thoughts and experiences regarding online purchases.
In context of e-commerce, consumer intention to purchase relates to exogenous factors like trust and previous online shopping experience (Monsuwe, Dellaert, & de Ruyter, 2004). Combined with the information influences and trust transfer, social media usage have a strong social context, therefore social media usage can potentially determine purchase intentions in e-commerce by online users.
Report Section 4 – Methods (approx. 800 words) 10
In this section, the overall approach to be taken in your research – quantitative, qualitative or both – must be clearly stated. In this section, you should answer the following:
• What research methodology is proposed? Qualitative, Quantitative, Mixed?
• What is the sampling strategy, the sample size and rationale of sample selection?
• What data collection instruments (survey, interview questionnaire, protocols) are used or generated?
• How the research data is collected and what are the procedures followed for quality data collection?
• How the data will be analysed (statistical analysis, thematic coding)?
