solutions:
Adjusted sales revenue for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? 3845000 -14000(accumulated depreciation) =3831000 (says the 15 000 sales is already included in the figure so I did not include it)
What is the adjusted purchases for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? 2184000 (not sure what to adjust as it says its already been included)
What is the cost of sales in statement of profit or loss for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? COS= 360000+2184000+119000-450000=2213000
What is gross profit in statement of profit or loss for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? Revenue – cost of sales = 3831000-2213000 = 1618000
What is the sundry administrative expenses for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? 416000-28700+14400 = 401700 (I took the accrual out as this is for next year?)
What is the irrecoverable debt in statement of profit or loss for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? 15000 (don’t see what’s changed)
What is the depreciation for office equipment brought forward from prior year in statement of profit or loss for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? unsure
What is the depreciation for new equipment purchased during the year in statement of profit or loss for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? 60000x 20% = 12000
What is the total depreciation in statement of profit or loss for year ended 31 December 20X6? ? 14000 + 12000 = 26000
What is the profit for the year ended 31 December 20X6? ? unsure (too many calculations are overlapping each other so I am unsure what figures to even use)
How much is the proposed dividend? ? 4 000 000 x 0.25 = $1 000 000Should it be under current liability? Yes or No? ? Yes because these are liable to be paid in July 20X7
Should it be disclosed in a note in Bonnie’s published financial statements? Yes or No ? Yes because dividends to be paid are to be disclosed in the notes
Hello, can I please get some assistance with the above if these answers and calculations are correct or not? I’d appreciate it if someone can help me calculate the ones that are wrong? So far, I tried to the best of my abilities.
June 6, 2019 at 10:15 am #519312Why are you attempting questions for which you do have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers – they are full of exam standard questions together with answers and explanations.
I will answer your first six questions, but you really cannot expect me to provide you with a full solution.
1 Sales revenue is not affected by profit on sale of NCA’s. The sale proceeds should not be there and should be removed.
2. Purchases of NCA’s need removing from purchases – they should not be included.
3. Your cost of sales seems correct except for using the wrong figure for purchase.
4. Gross profit would be correct if you used the correct figures for sales and cost of sales.
5. For admin expenses you add the accrual and remove the prepayment.
6. The charge for irrecoverable debts is the 15,000 together with the change needed in the allowance for receivables.
7. There is no brought forward depreciation expense in the SOPL. The amount brought forward is the accumulated depreciation that appeared in last years SOFP.
Everything needed to be able to answer this question is explained in detail in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA, and I really do suggest that you watch them before attempting this question again.
June 6, 2019 at 8:54 pm #519439hello, thank you. Unfortunately I was not able to find the answer for this, can you kindly refer me to where I can get the revision kit?
