Bank interest received 100(i) The interest for the year on the bank loan has not yet been paid or accrued.
(ii) Land, which is non-depreciable, is included in the trial balance at a value of $110,000.
At 31 December 20X9 it was revalued to $150,000 and this revaluation is to be
included in the financial statements.
(iii) Depreciation is to be provided for the year to 31 December 20X9 as follows:
Buildings 10% per annum Straight line basis
Plant and machinery 20% per annum Reducing balance basis
As part of the buildings contains the office accommodation and part of the buildings
contains the plant and machinery, the depreciation for the ‘Buildings’ should be
allocated between cost of sales and administrative expenses as follows:
%
Cost of sales 40
Administrative expenses 60
(iv) Included in trade receivables is a balance of $1,720 that is considered to be
irrecoverable due to the customer going into administration and the Directors of
Clerc have decided to write off this receivable.
(v) Inventories at the close of business on 31 December 20X9 were valued at cost of
$19,871. Included in this amount was an inventory line at a cost of $4,000 that, due
to change in legislation, is now illegal. Clerc could rectify the items at a cost of
$2,500 and plans to do so. The items usually retail to customers at $6,000.
(vi) The tax charge for the year has been calculated at $7,162.Hi. Should we substract accruals which shown in trial balance from gross profit when we preparing SOPL?
Thank you in advanceNovember 1, 2018 at 3:04 pm #483509No. The accruals must be the accruals at the end of the year and therefore will already have been recorded in the relevant expense accounts.
November 1, 2018 at 6:32 pm #483530I mean we must deduct it as expense. But in answer they didn’t take into consideration accruals in trial balance.
November 2, 2018 at 8:32 am #483557For the year end accruals to appear in the trial balance, the double entry must have been made i.e. debit expense; credit accruals.
Therefore the accruals will already be in the expense figures in the trial balance.
