    CLERC
    You are about to commence preparation of the financial statements of Clerc for the year
    ended 31 December 20X9. The entity’s trial balance as at 31 December 20X9 is shown
    below.
    Debit Credit
    $ $
    Share capital
    Share premium
    100,000
    20,000
    Revaluation reserve at 1 January 20X9 50,000
    Trade and other payables 13,882
    Land & buildings – value/cost 210,000
    accumulated depreciation at 1 January 20X9 30,000
    Plant and machinery – cost 88,000
    accumulated depreciation at 1 January 20X9 16,010
    Trade and other receivables 8,752
    Accruals 3,029
    5% bank loan repayable 20Y3 40,000
    Cash and cash equivalents 6,993
    Retained earnings at 1 January 20X9 23,893
    Sales 178,833
    Purchases 130,562
    Distribution costs 7,009
    Administrative expenses 7,100
    Inventories at 1 January 20X9 17,331
    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 advance

    No. The accruals must be the accruals at the end of the year and therefore will already have been recorded in the relevant expense accounts.

    I mean we must deduct it as expense. But in answer they didn’t take into consideration accruals in trial balance.

    For 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.
