A friend of yours, a non-accounting student in the JRSSB, has asked for your advice about a potential
investment. Your friend is considering purchasing shares in Aurora Cannabis Inc., a company with its
head office in Leduc, Alberta, that is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and other exchanges
(symbol ACB). The company's primary business is the production, distribution, and sale of cannabis
related products in Canada and internationally. Your friend thinks this company might be a good
investment, as the share price is quite low, but is not sure how to interpret certain parts of the financial
statements. In particular, your friend has read note 9 (Biological Assets) and is having difficulty
understanding the meaning of this information. (The note disclosure is included as an appendix to this
document.)

Inc. financial statements. (30 marks)

Recently, you were contacted by a friend who was
thinking of signing a Joint Venture agreement to
fund a new shopping center to be built in
Melbourne. Along with several other investors,
each party will invest $25,000 to the venture in
order to pay for the building and construction work.
Your friend knows several of the other investors and
is looking forward to working closely with the other
investors on this new project, however your friend
feels very strongly about keeping his business
affairs completely separate from those of other
investors.
Required: What advice and/ or warning would you
give your friend before signing the Joint Venture
contract? You must refer to legislation and/ or case
law and clearly define all business structures that
may impact on the advice you give your friend.
Durant Limited is a construction company based in Malawi and has presence in almost seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa . Because of the aggressive government construction programs in the region, the company has seen an increase in its orders and has reached a point where a significant amount of finance is needed to source future growth. The board recently decided to list the business on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and is currently examining the full implications of this decision on its operations. The Board Chairperson has argued that a stock exchange listing may alter the way in which the business views their dividend policy. However, the CEO has insisted that the dividend policy is unimportant as the pattern of dividend has no effect on shareholder wealth. Key data on the dividend policy adopted is as follows:
Financial year end
Profit after tax (K'000)
Ordinary dividends (K'000)
Ordinary shares in issue (K'000)
