Part v:
In respect of Seafarms, it could be said that the company could be facing a cash crunch which could be seen from the negative amount of the cash flows in 2015 but the same has then improved over the years.
In respect of Select Harvest, it could be said that the company could be facing a cash crunch which could be seen from the negative amount of the cash flows in 2015 but the same has then improved over the years.
Also, when comparing the 2, the following could be said:

The company does not have any comprehensive income.
Part vii:
The other comprehensive income comprises of the items that as such do not have an effect on the balance sheet. But then it is also true that the same cannot be reported in the income statement of the company. These are the changes that are reported in the statement of comprehensive income with all of the other amounts from the income statement.
Merely due to the reason that the other comprehensive income has no effect on the net income, that would lead to a cause in the change in the retained earnings, shareholder’s equity, etc.
The example include unrealised gains or losses, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealised gains or losses on the investments etc. (Accounting coach, 2018).
Part viii:
The following is the desired statement:

|

– |
If these income form the part of the profit and loss statement, then the company’s profit earned during the year would increase. Which would in turn benefit the shareholders. But the company shall be at a loss since it will have to pay taxes on them.
Part ix:
The other comprehensive income comprises of the items that as such do not have an effect on the balance sheet. But then it is also true that the same cannot be reported in the income statement of the company. These are the changes that are reported in the statement of comprehensive income with all of the other amounts from the income statement.
Merely due to the reason that the other comprehensive income has no effect on the net income, that would lead to a cause in the change in the retained earnings, shareholder’s equity, etc.
The example include unrealised gains or losses, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealised gains or losses on the investments etc.
So, it would not be fair to record these in the income statement.

The companies have reported the income taxes in their financial statements that have been paid in by the company on the revenue that it has generated during the ordinary course of trade.

Since Seafarms has reported a loss in its financial statements, hence the effective tax rate is negative for it.
Part xii:
Deferred tax assets are the assets that are allowable as an expense for the company in the future periods. These are the expenses that are disallowed during the current year of the company due to its timing difference (Taxmann, 2018).
Part xiii:
In respect of Woolworth, there has been an increase in the amount of the deferred tax assets.
In respect of Wesfarmers, there has been an increase in the amount of the deferred tax assets.

|
In case of Seafarms, since the company has reported a loss during the year, hence the cash rate is 0% and in the case of Select Harvest, since there are no current year’s income taxes, deferred taxes, hence, the cash rate is negative. The company Select Harvest has negative unlevered cash taxes and hence, the final result which is the cash tax rate is also negative.
Part xvi:
Cash tax rate is different from the book tax rate since the companies always pay less taxes than what becomes due.
Conclusion
Both these companies that have bene undertaken for review have represented the transactions that have been entered into during the year in the utmost beneficial way. But since Seafarms has reported a loss, it needs to have a discussion with regard to the improvement of its affairs so that either more revenue could be generated or expense could be decreased.
In respect of equity, Seafarms has more investment made from the outsiders when compared with Select Harvest. In respect of comprehensive income, Seafarms only has such a statement reported in its financial statement. In terms of cash flows, Seafarms seems to be better in term of cash in hand.
