Hi,
Was just casually browsing the forums and thought I would attempt to answer this one (good way of testing ones knowledge).
(a) Revenues. Cash sales of $100K. Difference between opening & closing receivables = 10K. Therefore total sales figure to be recognised in the income statement is $110K.
(b) Supplies. Purchases made in year $25K. Less supplies sold during year $5K. Cost of Goods Sold recognised in the financial statements is therefore $20K (assume the company had no opening stock).
(c) Rent. Rent paid in year of $13K includes $1K worth of rent for next accounting period. Therefore the rent figure to be recognised in this year’s period is $12K.
(d) Equipment = fixed asset purchase, therefore the cost of the asset is capitalised in the statement of financial position as $20K. The cost of the asset is recognised in the income statement over the useful life of the asset (4 years). Therefore depreciation charge of $5k.
(e) Wages. Wages paid in the year of $145K. Additional liability at year of $12K. Therefore total wages regonsised in the income statement for the period is $157K ($145K + $12K).
Hope this helps you.
Regards
Andrew
