Part A (15%)
If we look at a reporting entitys balance sheet we will see a total given for all the entitys assets (this is a requirement of AASB101). This aggregate total is derived by adding together the various classes of current and non-current assets. Do you think it is appropriate that the various classes of assets are simply added together, even though they have probably been measured on a number of quite different measurements bases? (Deegan, 2010)
What does the aggregated total actually represent?Justify your answer by giving examples (e.g. inventory valuation AASB102 and property, plant and equipment AASB116).
What alternative/s would you recommend?

Each pair of students is to submit a single assignment (essay and consolidate worksheet) for which the two students will usually receive the same mark. This is based on the expectation that each student will contribute equally to the preparation of the assignment. Where this expectation has not been satisfied separate marks may be allocated.
Selected students may be invited to discuss their assignment with the person responsible for marking it. This discussion will only be taken into account in marking assignment where it provides evidence that the integrity of students work has been compromised. This may, for example, be evidenced by students being unable to explain the meaning of their assignment, or being unable to explain why certain information has been included.
