    The following balances have been exh’acted from the accounting records of Bonnie at
    31 December 20X6:

    Reference to notes (numbered)

    Revenue (note 2) 3,845,000
    Opening inventory 360,000
    Purchases (note 3) 2,184,000
    Carriage inwards 119,000
    Carriage outwards 227,000
    Of?ce equipment at 1 January 20X6 (notes 2, 3 and 4)
    Cost 460,000
    Accumulated depreciation 92,000
    Trade receivables 620,000
    Loss allowance for receivables at 1 January 20×6 (note 5) 20,000
    Irrecoverabie debs written off during the year I 15,000
    Sundry administrative expenses 416,000

    The following further information is available:

    (1) Closing inventory amounts to $450,000.

    (2) Some of?ce equipment, which had cost $20,000, with accumulated depreciation at 1
    January 20×6 of $14,000, was sold for $15,000 during the year. The sale proceeds
    were included in the sales ?gure of $3,845,000.

    (3) The cost of new equipment purchased on 1 July 20X6 for $60,000 has been
    included in the purchases ?gure of $2,184,000

    (4) The company depreciates its of?ce equipment at 20 % per year on the straight line
    basis, with proportionate depreciation in the year of purchase but none in the year of
    sale. None of the equipment held at 1 January 20X6 was more than three years old.

    (5) The loss allowance for trade receivables at 31 December 20X6 is to be 5% of
    accounts receivable.

    (6) Accruals and prepayments on sundry administrative expenses at 31 December 20X6
    were:
    Accrued expenses 28,700
    Prepaid expenses 14,400

    (7) The directors propose a dividend of 6: per share on the equity shares (4,000,000
    shares of $0.25 each) to be paid in July 20×7.

    No dividends were paid in 20X6.

    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 = $1 000 000

    Should 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.

    Why 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.

    The approved publishers are BPP and Kaplan.

    Their websites list the stockists of their books (I do not know which country you are in) or you can buy them online from their website.

    For BPP, if you click on the advert at the top right of this page then you will be entitled to a discount of 20%.
