    Dear Mike,

    As per TB dated 31/3/13:
    Inventory (at 31 March 2013) 43,700
    Revenue 550,000
    Trade receivables 42,200

    Additional info:
    Revenue includes the sale of $10 million of maturing inventory made to Xpede on 1 October 2012. The cost of the goods at the date of sale was $7 million and Atlas has an option to repurchase these goods at any time within three years of the sale at a price of $10 million plus accrued interest from the date of sale at 10% per annum.
    At 31 March 2013 the option had not been exercised, but it is highly likely that it will be before the date it lapses.

    My ans:

    Since it is a substance loan, cancel 10 million sales by reducing REVENUE and RECEIVABLES by 10 million.

    And show 10 Million substance loan as EXPENDITURE and LIABILITY. Also, ADD finance charge of 10% to this 10 million expense and liability.

    Increase inventory and reduce cost of sale by 7million.

    Is that right?

    ‘ and RECEIVABLES by 10 million.’ – why receivables????

    What sort of a loan is it if the lender doesn’t let you have the money?

    Dr Revenue and Credit Loan account

    WHAT!

    How can borrowing $10,000,000 be an expense?

    Two ways of tackling this:

    1) undo what they have done and the put through the correct entries

    So undo:

    Dr Revenue $10,000,000
    Cr Cash $10,000,000

    Now put through the correct entries

    Dr Cash $10,000,000
    Cr 10% Loan account $10,000,000

    and bring the goods back into inventory

    Dr Inventory on the statement of financial position $7,000,000
    Cr Cost of sales $7,000,000

    Then, at the year end, account for the accrued interest

    Dr Loan interest on statement of profit or loss $500,000
    Cr 10% Loan account $500,000

    You need to sort out your thinking in the next few days!
