LESSON # 1: Definition of Depreciation, Reasons for Deprecating Fixed assets,
Methods of Depreciation
CONTENT:

Definition of Depreciation

Depreciation is the process of reducing the value of a fixed asset over its useful life;
it is a non-cash expense to the business.

Deprecation is a prime example of a nominal account; this expense is charged to the profit and
loss account, and therefore it reduces net profit. This falls under the accrual (matching) concept.

Students’ activity:

Identify some common non-current (fixed) assets the business owns and give a possible reason
to reduce the cost-value of the asset.

Reasons for Depreciating Non-current Assets

The principal causes of depreciation are:

➢ Physical deterioration – this is the ‘wear and tear’ the asset endures over its useful
life time, from the everyday use. For example, the motor van that does delivery will
have mechanical issues, buildings would rot, metal will rust and decay; and, in the case
of land, erosion would take place.

➢ Economic factors - the two main factors are obsolescence and inadequacy. As the
years pass, the equipment of the business become out dated. For example, a touch
screen computer would be more updated as compared to a manual one.

➢ Time factor - after years have passed, the life span for non-current assets comes to an
end.

➢ Depletion - this refers to most natural resources - the depletion of our rainforest, oil
reserves and gold.
Methods of calculating Depreciation

There are many ways of calculating depreciation, but the two most common methods are:
➢ The straight-line method
➢ The reducing balance method

The straight-line method charges depreciation evenly over the lifetime of the asset. With this
method, every year the same amount is charged as depreciation in the profit and loss account.
In the balance sheet, accumulated depreciation is charged. The consistency concept is applied
when choosing a method of depreciation.

The straight-line method uses:



The cost value – this is the first amount paid for the asset; it does not change.

The useful life - this is the expected years the business will use the assets.

The scrap value - this the expected value of the asset after its useful life.

Formula: -
Cost – scrap value
No. of yrs. of useful life

Useful life = depreciation charge for the year

Example:
Non-current asset Motor Van
Cost $1,200,000
Scrap value $200,000
Useful life 5 years

$1,200,000 - $200,000
5 years

Ans.: $200,000 is the depreciation cost per year for the next five years.
ACTIVITY

1. Identify some common non-current (fixed) assets the business owns and give a possible
reason to reduce the cost value of the asset.

2. Examine the table below, and used the straight-line method of depreciation, calculate the
depreciation charges for the next FIVE years.

Non-current asset Building

Cost value $2,500,000

Scrap value $ 500,000

Useful life 10 years

TASK: Calculate the depreciation cost for per a year, for the next year.

Using the information below, calculate the depreciation charges for the next FOUR years.
The business uses the straight-lime method of depreciation.

3. Non-current asset machinery


Cost value $450,000
Scrap value $50,000
Useful life 4 years

TASK: Calculate the depreciation for the next 4 years.

WEEK # 1 – TOPIC: ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS


LESSON # 2: Methods of Depreciation
CONTENT:
The reducing balance method
The Reducing balance method – charges depreciation using a fixed percentage to reduce the
net-book value of the asset.

This method takes the following into consideration:

➢ Cost for the first year;


➢ The net-book value (NBV) every year after that; and,
➢ The percentage that is the depreciation charge.

Formula for reducing balance method

First year deprecation value = cost *% = Net book value

Second year depreciation value = NBV *% = Net book value


ACTIVITY

Identify the difference between the straight-line method and the reducing balance method.

Example:

Non-current asset motor Van


Cost $1,200,000
Depreciation
percentage 10%
Expected useful life 5 years

First year depreciation value = cost * depreciation value $1,200,000 *10%


$120,000 Net book value
= cost – depreciation value
= $1,200,000 - $120,000
Net book value = $1,080,000

Note: the depreciation cost for the first year is $120,000

The net book value is calculated so that the second-year depreciation value can be
calculated using the NBV.

Second year depreciation value = net book value *10%


$1,080,000*10%
= $108,000
Net book value = $1,080,000 - $108,000 = $972,000

Third year depreciation value = net book value *10%


= $972,000 *10%
= $97,200
Net book value = $972,000 - $97,200 = $874,800

Fourth year depreciation value = net book value *10%


= $874,800 *10%
= $87,480
Net book value = $874,800 - $87,480 = $787,320

Fifth year depreciation value = net book value *10%


= $787,320 * 10%
= $78,732
Net book value = $787,320 - $78,732 = $708,588
Alternative
Method

Cost price $1,200,000

First year depreciation (10%) $120,000

Net Book Value $1,080,000

Second year depreciation (10%) $108,000

Net Book value $972,000

Third year depreciation (10%) $97,200

Net Book Value $874,800

Fourth year depreciation (10%) $87,480

Net book value $787,320

Fifth year depreciation (10%) $78,732

Net book value $708,588


Additional notes on the Reducing Balance method:

This method of depreciation accounts for higher reduction in value, while the rate repaid
will be lower. Hence, as the years go by and the cost of repairs increases, the depreciation
cost reduces.

Accumulated Depreciation

Accumulated depreciation is the cumulative (total) depreciation of an asset up to a single


point in its life. Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset account, meaning its natural
balance is a credit that reduces the overall asset-value.

Extract of the balance sheet to reflect deprecation charges from the example in the handout on
the straight-line method of Depreciation.

Straight line Method

Year 1 Cost $ Depreciation $ Net book Value $


Motor vehicle 1,200,000 200,000 1,000,000
Year 2 Cost $ Depreciation $ Net Book Value $
Motor vehicle 1,200,00 400,000 800,000
Year 3 Cost $ Depreciation $ Net Book Value $
Motor Van 1,200,000 600,000 600,000
Year 4 Cost$ Depreciation $ Net Book Value$
Motor Van 1,200,000 800,000 400,000
Year 5 Cost $ Depreciation $ Net Book Value $
Motor van 1,200,000 1,000,000 200,000

Key points
The cost of the fixed asset does not change over the lifetime of the asset. In the depreciation
column of the balance sheet, from the second year, it becomes accumulated depreciation. This
is applied for both methods of depreciation.

Depreciation follows the consistency concept, where every year the same method is applied to
a fixed asset. However, a business may use different methods to depreciate the various fixed
assets.

ACTIVITY

1. Prepare a table just like the one above (Straight-line method), from the information
below. Calculate the depreciation charges for FIVE years using the Reducing
Balance method:
- Cost price – motor van, $1 200 000
- Depreciation rate 20%
- Number of years in used – 5 years

2. A machine costs $12,500. It will be kept for four years, and then sold for an estimated
figure of $5,120. Show the calculations of the figures for depreciation for each of the four
years using:
(a) the straight-line method, and
(b) the reducing balance method (for this method, use a depreciation rate of 20%).

3. A concrete mixer is bought for $6,000. It will be used for three years, and then sold
back to the supplier for $3,072. Show the depreciation calculations for each year using
(a) the reducing balance method with a rate of 20%, and
(b) the straight-line method.

4. From the following information, which shows the depreciation for the first two years of
use for two assets, you are required to answer the questions set out below:

Machinery $ Fixtures $
Cost year 1 8 000 3 600
Year 1 Depreciation (1 600) (900)
6 400 2 700
Year 2 Depreciation (1 600) (675)
4 800 2 025
(a) Which type of depreciation method is used for each asset?

(b) What will be the book value of each of the assets after four years of use?

(c) If instead of the method used, the machinery had been depreciated by the
alternative method but using the same percentage rate, what would have been the
book value after four years? (Calculate your answer to the nearest $)

WEEK #1 – TOPIC: ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS


LESSON # 3: Double entry records for depreciation and the disposal of assets
CONTENT:
At the purchases of a non-current assets, the cost price is recorded in the respective asset account
and the depreciation charge is shown separately in an ‘Accumulated provision for depreciation
account’. This account shows the depreciation charges accumulating each year.

The following example illustrates the accounting records.

Example:
On January 1, 2015, a business purchases machinery for $2,000 for use in the business’
workshop. The company uses the reducing balance method of depreciation, using a rate of 20%
per annum, and its financial year ends December 31, 2015. The accounting records for the first
three years are illustrated below:

1. The machinery is purchased on January 1, 2015 and paid for by cheque:

• Debit the machinery account


• Credit the bank account

2. At the end of the financial year, the asset is depreciated at 20% per annum, using the reducing
balance method. First of all, we need to calculate the amount of depreciation to be charged
each year:
$
Cost of machinery 2,000
First year Depreciation (20%) 400
Net book value - year 1 1,600
Second year Depreciation (20%) 320
Net book value - year 2 1,280
Third year Depreciation (20%) 256
Nat book value - year 3 1,024
NOTE: cost - accumulated depreciation = net book value (at the end of the three years)
$2000 - $976 = $1,024
3. To record the depreciation:

• Debit the profit and loss account with the amount of the depreciation each year.

• Credit the provision for depreciation of machinery account with the amount of the
depreciation each year.

4. Show how the items would appear in the statement of financial position (balance sheet):

• The balance of the machinery account is shown at cost price.

• The balance on the provision for depreciation of machinery account is shown.

• The net book value is shown, that is, the cost price less the balance on the provision for
depreciation account.
Now, the balance on the machinery account is shown on the statement of financial position at
the end of each year, less the balance on the provision for depreciation account.

Another example is now given:

This is an example of a business whose financial year ends June 30. A motor car is bought for
$8,000 on July 1, 2015. Another car is bought on July 1, 2016 for $11,000. Each car is expected
to be in use for five years, and the disposal value of the first and second car is expected to be
$500 and $1,000, respectively. The method of depreciation to be used is the straight-line method.
The first two years’ accounts are shown below:

Depreciation per year – straight line method:

NOTE: The entries in the cash book have not been shown in this example.
ACTIVITY

Calculate the depreciation charges for the business below:

WEEK #2 – TOPIC: ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS


LESSON # 1: Double entry records for depreciation and the disposal of assets
CONTENT:
The disposal (sale) of an asset

When assets are disposed of (sold), there must be corresponding accounting entries.

Reason for accounting entries:

➢ Upon the sale of an asset, we will want to delete it from our records. This means that the
cost of that asset needs to be taken out of the asset account.
➢ the depreciation of the asset that has been sold will have to be taken out of the depreciation
provision.
➢ Finally, the profit or loss on sale, if any, will have to be calculated.

When we charge depreciation on a non-current asset, we have to make estimates. We cannot be


absolutely certain how long we will keep the asset in use, nor can we be certain at the date of
purchase how much the asset will be sold for on disposal (nor will we always estimate correctly).
This means that when the asset is disposed of, the cash received for it is usually different from our
original estimate.

Accounting entries needed on the sale of a non-current asset, for instance machinery, the
following entries are needed:

1. Transfer the cost price of the asset sold to an asset disposal account (in this case, a
machinery disposals account):
• Debit machinery disposals account
• Credit machinery account

2. Transfer the depreciation already charged to the asset disposal account:


• Debit provision for depreciation of machinery account
• Credit machinery disposals account

3. For remittance received on disposal:


• Debit cash book
• Credit machinery disposal account.
4. Transfer the difference (that is, the amount to balance the machinery disposal account) to
the profit and loss account.

(i) If the machinery disposals account shows a difference on the debit side of the
account, it is a profit on sale:
• Debit machinery disposals account
• Credit profit and loss account.

(ii) If the machinery disposals account shows a difference on the credit side of the
account, it is a loss on sale:
• Debit profit and loss account
• Credit machinery disposals account.

These entries can be examined by looking at those needed if the machinery already shown in the
above were sold. The records of December 31, 2017 show that the cost of the machine was $2,000
and a total of $976 had been written as depreciation, leaving a net book value of ($2,000 – $976)
= $1,024.

If, therefore, the machinery is sold on January 2, 2018 for more than $1,024, a profit on sale will
be made. If on the other hand, the machinery is sold for less than $1,024, then a loss on disposal
will be incurred. The machinery sold for $1,070, therefore a profit is made.
The entries if, instead of the machine being sold at a profit, the same asset had been sold for only
$950, which would mean that a loss was incurred on sale is below.

LESSON # 2: Definition of Bad debts Account, bad debt recovered
CONTENT:

Definition, Bad debts account, bad debt recovered

Bad debts are those items of charge on the profits of the company that indicate the
sums of money which may not be recovered from a debtor, during the year. In order
to record the number of bad debts correctly, such sum is charged to the profit and
loss account and deducted from the value of debtors for that year, so that the amount
represents money that is actually expected to accrue from the debtors.

Possible reasons that give rise to bad debts:

➢ Debtors become bankrupt


➢ Death of debtors
➢ Debtors is nowhere to be traced/found

Features of bad debts:

➢ Debts that are uncollectable


➢ An expense
➢ There is a debit balance

An example of debts being written off as bad:

We sold $50 goods to C. Baptiste on January 5, 2017, but that business became bankrupt. On
February 16, 2017, we sold $240 goods to R. Shaw. Shaw managed to pay $200 on May 17,
2017, but it became obvious that he would never be able to pay the final $40. When drawing
up our final accounts to December 31, 2017, we decided to write these off as bad debts. The
accounting entries are shown in the following table:
The accounts would appear as follows:

Compromise:

At times, an agreement may be reached between a debtor and a creditor in which the creditor
agrees to accept an amount less than the original debt. Hence, the debtors pay a part of the actual
amount owed. See example below:
Bad Debts Recovered

Bad debt recovery is a payment received for a debt that was written off and
considered uncollectible. The receivable may come in the form of a loan, credit
line, or any other accounts receivable. Because it generally generates a loss when
it is written off, bad debt recovery usually produces income.

The accounting for a bad debt recovery is a two-step process, as follows:


1. Reverse the original recording of the bad debt. This means creating a debit to the accounts
receivable asset account in the amount of the recovery, with the offsetting credit to the
allowance for doubtful accounts contra-asset account. If the original entry was instead a credit
to accounts receivable and a debit to bad debt expense (the direct write-off method), then
reverse this original entry.
2. Record the cash receipt from the bad debt recovery, which is a debit to the cash
account and a credit to the accounts receivable asset account.
Example:

ABC Ltd. sells goods to DEF Ltd. for $500, on credit. ABC Ltd. subsequently finds out
that DEF Ltd. is being liquidated and therefore the prospects of recovering its dues are
very low. ABC Ltd. therefore writes off the receivable from its books. However, the
administrator appointed to oversee the liquidation of DEF Ltd. instructs the company to
pay $300 to ABC Ltd. in full settlement of its dues.
As $300 of the bad debt has been recovered, it is necessary to cancel the effect of
previously recognized bad debt expense up to this amount. The accounting entry will
therefore be as follows:

Debit Cash/Bank $300

Credit Bad Debt Recovered (Income) $300

LESSON # 3: Provision for bad debts
CONTENT:
Provision for Bad Debts

The provision for doubtful debts, which is also referred to as the provision for bad
debts or the provision for losses on accounts receivable, is an estimation of the
amount of doubtful debt that will need to be written off during a given period.

An example: the accounts of K. Charles, who started in business on January 1, 2017 and
has just completed his first year of trading on December 31, 2017.

Charles sold goods for $50,000 that cost him $36,000, giving him a gross profit of $14,000
($50,000 – $36,000). However, included in the $50,000 sales was a credit sale of $250 to C.
Young who recently died, leaving no money and the amount for the goods still outstanding. The
$250 debt is, therefore, a bad debt and should be written off and charged to Charles’ profit and
loss account as an expense.

Besides that debt, a credit sale of $550 on December 1, 2017 made to Ms. L. Hall, is unlikely to
be paid. Although Charles is not certain of this, he has been informed that Ms. L. Hall has not
paid debts owing to other businesses. As Charles has given three months’ credit to Ms. L. Hall,
the debt is not repayable until February 28, 2018.

Charles has been requested by his bank to provide them with his financial statements for the
year 2017. Unfortunately, Charles cannot wait until after February 28 2018 to see if the debt of
$550 owing by Ms. L. Hall will be paid or not.

If it is not paid, then it will become a bad debt; but in the meantime, it is a doubtful debt.

What therefore can Charles do when he presents the bank with his financial statements; he wants
to achieve the following objectives:

(a) to charge as expenses in the profit and loss account for the year 2017 an amount
representing sales of that year for which he will never be paid.
(b) to show in the statement of financial position as correct a figure as possible of the true
value of accounts receivable at the date of the statement of financial position.

He can carry out (a) above by writing off Young’s debt of $250 and then charging it as an
expense in his profit and loss account.

For (b), he cannot yet write off Ms. L. Hall’s debt of $550 as a bad debt because he is not certain
about it being a bad debt. If he does nothing about it, then the accounts receivable shown on the
statement of financial position will include a debt that is probably of no value. The accounts
receivable on December 31,2017, after deducting Young’s $250 bad debt, amounted to $10,000.
The answer to this is as follows:
Provisions for doubtful debts: estimating provisions

The estimates of provisions for doubtful debts can be made by:

• looking into each debt, and estimating which ones will be bad debts.

• estimating, on the basis of experience, what percentage of the debts will result in bad debts.

It is well known that the longer a debt is owing, the more likely it will become a bad debt. Some
businesses draw up an ageing schedule, showing how long debts have been owing. Older
debtors need higher percentage estimates of bad debts than newer debtors.

Accounting entries for provisions for doubtful debts

When a decision has been taken as to the amount of the provision to be made, then the
accounting entries needed for the provision relate to the year in which provision is first made
and it is as follows:

1. Debit: Profit and loss account with the amount of the provision (as an expense)
2. Credit: Provision for doubtful debts account.
At December 31, 2017, the accounts receivable figure after deducting bad debts amounted to
$10,000. It is estimated that 2% of debts (that is, $200) will eventually prove to be bad debts,
and it is decided to make a provision for these.
The accounts would appear as follows:

NOTE: provision for bad debts is taken from the accounts receivables hence reducing the
current asset accounts receivable.

WEEK # 3 – TOPIC: ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS


LESSON # 1: Provision for bad debts
CONTENT:
Increasing the provision
Let us suppose that for the same business used above, at the end of the following year, December
31, 2018, the doubtful debts provision needed to be increased. This was because the provision
was kept at 2%, but the accounts receivable had risen to $12,000. A provision of $200 had been
brought forward from the previous year, but we now want a total provision of $240 (that is, 2%
of $12,000). All that is needed is a provision for an extra $40. The double entry will be:
1. Debit: Profit and loss account with the increase in the provision, that is, $40.

2. Credit: Provision for doubtful debts account.

The relevant accounts are shown below:


Reducing the provision

Outstanding debtors can reduce as well as increase, and if a business finds that the amount
outstanding has decreased, they may decide to reduce the provision for doubtful debts. Reducing
a provision is the opposite of increasing a provision.

In the provision for doubtful debts account, a credit balance is shown; therefore, to reduce it, we
would need a debit entry in the provision account. The credit would be in the profit and loss
account. Let us assume that at December 31, 2019, in the business already examined, the accounts
receivable figure had fallen to $10,500 but the provision remained at 2%, that is, $210 (2% of
$10,500).

As the provision had previously been $240, it now needs a reduction of $30. The double
entry is the following:

• Debit: Provision for doubtful debts account, that is, $30.

• Credit: Profit and loss account.

See below:
Worked Example:

A business owned by J. Gupta starts on January 1, 2017 and its financial year end December 31,
annually. A table of the accounts receivable, the bad debts written off and the estimated doubtful
debts at the rate of 2% of accounts receivable at the end of each year, as well as the double entry
accounts and the extracts from the final accounts follow:

WEEK # 3 – TOPIC: CONTROL SYSTEMS


LESSON # 2: Importance and types of errors
CONTENT:
Control system

Internal control accounting systems are the policies and procedures used to
ensure accuracy and reliability across accounting reports. Control systems are put
in place to prevent - deterring fraud and mistakes, or detect - identifying issues
after they have happened.

Main control systems:

➢ Trail Balance

➢ Bank Reconciliation

➢ Control System (sales and purchases ledger account)

Trail Balance

A trial balance is a list of debit and credit balances extracted from the ledgers.

The trial balance is used to:

1. Check the mathematical accuracy of the book keeping.


2. Make it easier to prepare the final accounts and balance sheet.

Errors Revealed by the Trial Balance:

➢ Arithmetic Error - the total on the credit or debit balance is incorrectly calculated.
Example: the total of the credit side is $10,000, and the total of the Debit side is $900.

➢ Posting Error – the accounting rules for double entry was not followed.
Example: $1,000 cash paid the Tom was credited to cash book and was also credited
to Tom’s account.
➢ Incomplete Double Entry - only on entry was made in the ledger, either a debit or credit
entry.
Example: Cash Sale $2,000. The debit entry of $2,000 was entered in the cash book, but
no entry was made in the sales ledger.

➢ Correct entries with different amounts - the correct double entry process was made,
but the incorrect amount was entered on the debit or credit side.
Example: Paid rent $3,000 cash. The rent account was debited with $3,000, but the cash
book was credit with $30,000.

The above-mentioned techniques have a few limitations: not all errors are revealed by the trial
balance.
Errors not revealed by the trial balance:

1. Error of omission - A transaction was left out (not entered) of the double entry system.
Example: Cash Sale $20,000 was not recorded in the sales ledger or the cash book. It was
left out of the books.

2. Error of principles - A transaction was entered in the incorrect category, but the debit and
credit match.
Example: Purchases furniture, $40,000 cash. The cash account was credited with $40,000,
but instead of debiting the furniture account, the purchases account was debited. The trial
balance did not pick up this error because the debit amount matches the credit amount.

3. Error of commission - A transaction is posted in the wrong account, but in the right
category.
Example: Yomi paid us $1800 cash. The cash book was debited with $1,800, but we
credited Yami’s Account with $1800 instead of Yomi’s Account.

4. Compensation Error (offsetting Error) - is an accounting error that offsets another


accounting error. These errors can be difficult to spot when they occur within the same
account and in the same reporting period, since the net effect is zero.

Example: Tom paid us $1,000 cash, but we made a mistake and debited Tom’s account.
We paid Sally $1,000 cash, but we made a mistake and credited Sally’s account. The
two mistakes offset each other.
5. Error of Original Entry - the original amount was incorrectly entered on both debit and
credit sides.
Example: Cash Sales of $10,000 - The amount entered in the cash book and sales
Account was $1000.

6. Error of Reversal of Entries- The entries are made in the correct account but on the
incorrect side.
Example: Cash Sales $4,000 - The Sales was debited and cash book was credited.

ACTIVITY

State the error for each of the following statements:

1. Purchase of stock was entered in the Office Equipment Account. ___________________

2. Paid Mello $10,000 cash was debited to Nello’s Account. ____________________

3. Sammy paid us $20,000 cash. We debited Sammy’s Account and credited the cash book.
______________________

4. Cash purchase $10,000 was entered in the books as $1,000. _________________________

5. Paid rent $40,000 cheque was not entered into the books. _________________________

6. There was an error in the sales and purchases account by $500. _____________________

WEEK # 3 – TOPIC: Capital and Revenue Expenditure


LESSON # 3: Treatment of capital and revenue expenditure
CONTENT:
Revenue and Capital Expenditure
Capital Expenditure

Capital expenditure is incurred when a business spends money to either: buy non-current
assets; or add to the value of an existing non-current asset. Included in such amounts
should be the costs of:

1. acquiring non-current assets


2. bringing them into the business
3. legal costs of buying buildings
4. carriage inwards on machinery bought
5. Any other cost needed to get the non-current asset ready for use.

Revenue Expenditure

Revenue expenditure is expenditure that does not increase the value of non-current assets
but is incurred in the day-to-day running expenses of the business. The difference from
capital expenditure can be seen when considering the cost of running a motor vehicle for
a business.

The expenditure incurred in acquiring the motor vehicle is classed as capital expenditure,
while the cost of the petrol used to run the vehicle is revenue expenditure. This is because
the revenue expenditure is used up in a few days and does not add to the value of the non-
current asset.
Differences between Capital and Revenue Expenditure

Parameters Capital Expenditure Revenue Expenditure

Definition Capital expenditure is the money spent Revenue expenditure is the

Capitalisation Capital expenses are capitalised. Revenue expenses are not

Treatment of Depreciation of assets is charged on Depreciation of assets is not

expenditure.

Examples Purchase of machinery or patent, Wages, salary, utility bills


copyright, installation of equipment printing and stationery,
and fixture, among others. inventory, postage,
insurance, taxes and
maintenance cost, among
others.
Both capital expenditure and revenue expenditure are vital for the sustainable
profitability of a business venture. Mostly, revenue expenses are a periodic investment
which does not result in immediate or delayed benefit. However, it is used to keep
operations running uninterruptedly.

Alternatively, capital expenditure is considered to be a long-term investment that proves


beneficial for a firm. Business entities must understand that they need to adopt effective
strategies to monitor and regulate these expenses to boost overall profitability significantly.

Joint Expenditure
In certain cases, an item of expenditure will need to be divided between capital and revenue
expenditure.
Suppose a builder was engaged to build an extension and carry out some repairs to your
premises, the total bill being $500,000. If one-fifth of this were for repair work and four-fifths,
the cost of building the extension, then $100,000 should be charged to the profit and loss
account as revenue expenditure, and $400,000 should be identified as capital expenditure and
added to the value of the firm’s premises and shown as such in the statement of financial
position.

Treatment of Loan Interest


If money is borrowed to finance the purchase of a non-current asset, then interest will have to be
paid on the loan. The loan interest however is not a cost of acquiring the asset, but is simply a
cost of financing its acquisition. This means that loan interest is revenue expenditure and not
capital expenditure, and should be charged to the profit and loss account.

Capital and Revenue Receipts


When an item of capital expenditure is sold, the receipt is called a capital receipt.
Suppose a motor van is bought for $5,000, and sold five years later for $750. The $5,000 was
treated as capital expenditure. The $750 received is treated as a capital receipt.

Revenue receipts are sales and other revenue items, such as rent receivable or commissions
receivable.
.
ACTIVITY

SELF-CHECK

Read the following statements carefully and identify if they are capital or revenue
expenditure:

1. Annual depreciation of plant and equipment. __________________


2. Purchase of new production machinery. __________________
3. Cost of equipment repairs. _____________________
4. Customs duty on the purchase of new equipment. ___________________

WEEK # 4 – TOPIC: BANK RECONCILIATION


LESSON # 1: Updating of the cash book
CONTENT:

Bank Reconciliation

A bank reconciliation is the process of matching the balances in the company’s accounting
records for a cash account to the corresponding information on a bank statement.

The goal of this process is to ascertain the differences between the two and to make changes to
the accounting records, as appropriate. The information on the bank statement is the bank's record
of all transactions impacting the firm's bank account during the past month.

Reason for discrepancy between cash book balance and the bank statement:

➢ Entries in the cash book but NOT in the bank statement

1. Unpresented cheques – cheques that were prepared by the trader, (it was entered on
the credit side of the cash book) but the cheque was never presented to the bank (the
bank has no record of the cheque).

2. Uncredited cheques/ Bank lodgements/ deposits – the cheque was presented to the
bank but was not processed by the bank during that period (some cheques take a few
days to be processed).

➢ Entries in the bank statement but NOT in the cash book

1. Direct Deposit - customers made payments directly into the business’ bank account
(no record was made in the cash book).

2. Direct payments (standing order) - payments made directly by the bank on behalf of
the customer (no record was made in the cash book).
Also:
1. Error in cash book - cheque received by a debtor was recorded on the credit side of
the cash book.

2. Error made by the bank - cheque received by the bank was entered into the wrong
account.

Procedure for Preparing Bank Reconciliation

1. Comparing the entries in the cash book with the entries in the bank statement.
The debit side of the cash book matches the credit side of the bank statement. And
the credit side of the cash book matches the debit side of the bank statement. (Place
a tick to indicate the like entries).

WEEK # 4 – TOPIC: CONTROL ACCOUNTS


LESSON # 2: Journal entries
CONTENT:
Sales Control Account and Purchases Control Account

The need for control accounts

When a business is small, all the accounts may be contained in one ledger and at the end of the
accounting period, a trial balance could easily be drawn up as a test of the arithmetical accuracy
of the accounts. However, it must be remembered that certain errors may not be revealed by the
trial balance. If the trial balance totals disagree, the books could easily and quickly be checked
to find the errors.

However, as the business grows, the accounting requirements also expand and the work has to
be divided up into various separate ledgers and consequently, errors are not as easily identifiable.
The error (s) could be very difficult to find, and it may be necessary to check every item in every
ledger. Therefore, what is required is a type of trial balance for each ledger, and this requirement
is met by the control account. Thus, it is only the ledgers where the control accounts do not
balance that need detailed checking to locate any errors.

The principle of Control Accounts

The principle on which control accounts are based is simple. If the opening balance of an
account is known, together with the information of the additions and deductions entered in the
account, the closing balance can be calculated.

Sales Control Account

Sales Ledger Control Account is a summary account which checks the arithmetical accuracy of
the Sales Ledger. It enables us to see at a glance whether the general ledger balance for the sales
ledger agrees with the total of all the individual trade receivable accounts held within the sales
ledger.

Sales Ledger Control Accounts typically look like a "T-Account" or a replica of an Individual
Trade Receivable (Debtor) account, but instead of containing transactions related to one trade
receivable (Debtor) it contains transactions related to all the trade receivables (all the debtors)
in the business. As this control account contains the summarized information of all the trade
receivables accounts in the sales ledger, it is also called as "Total Trade Receivables
Account"("Total Debtors Account").

Sales ledger control account is generally prepared at the end of the financial year or "whenever"
it is required to check the arithmetical accuracy of the individual trade receivable accounts.

Sales control account is prepared as an independent check on the arithmetical accuracy of the
sales ledger (Debtors Ledger). So, we should not obtain the information required to prepare this
control account from the Sales ledger (Debtors ledger), instead all the information required
should be obtained from books of original entry or prime entry.

Format of sales control Account

Work the following example:


NOTE: Items should not be entered into the Sales Ledger Control Account.
The following items are often seen in the control account questions. As these times are closely
related to the "sales and trade receivables", but these items should not be recorded in the control
accounts.

1. Cash Sales - Cash sales are recorded in the cash book but not in the sales ledger. So, cash
sales should not be entered in the Sales Ledger Control account, which checks the arithmetical
accuracy of the sales ledger.

2. Recovered bad debts - If previously written off bad debts are recovered now, it should not
be recorded in the Sales Ledger Control Account, as bad debts recovered account appears in
the general ledger but not in the sales ledger.

3. Increase or decrease in the provision for doubtful debts - Provision for doubtful debts
account is kept in the general ledger. An increase or decrease in the provision for doubtful
debts affects the general ledger but not the Sales Ledger. So, it should not be recorded in the
Sales Ledger control accounts.

WEEK # 5 – TOPIC: PREPAYMENTS AND ACCURALS


LESSON # 1: Treatment of accruals and prepayments
CONTENT:

Accruals are expenses incurred but not yet paid.

Prepayments are payments for expenses for that are


not yet incurred.

Accruals and prepayments give rise to current liabilities and current assets, respectively in
accordance with the matching principle and accrual accounting.

Matching principle requires accountants to record revenues and expenses in the period in which
they are incurred regardless of when the relevant payments are made. In order to create this 1-
on-1 correspondence between revenue and expenses, expenses are recorded if they are incurred
in a particular period even if they are not yet paid (because they were necessary to earn the
revenue for that period).
On the other hand, prepayments are recorded to represent payments related to goods and
services that are to be consumed in future periods. It is this matching principle that differentiates
accrual accounting from cash-basis accounting, which records revenues and expenses when they
are received and not when they are earned or incurred.

How to record accrued expense?

Examples:
A total rent of $4,000 has been paid for the period from January to
October 2002. Assuming the accounting year ended
December 31, 2002 and the monthly rent of $400 payable at the
end of each month, show the adjusting entries for rent.
When rent is paid, the Rent Expenses Account will be debited as shown below:

Rent expense account


Date Details Amount Date Details Amount
2002 2002
31 Oct Bank 4000

At the end of the accounting year, before any adjustments, the items ‘rent expenses’, will
appear in the trial balance as follows:

Trial balance as at December 31, 2002


Details Debit Credit

Rent expense 4000

Since expenses in the trial balance shows only the amount paid, to determine the ‘correct’
amount for the accounting period under the accrual basis, adjustments must be made to the
figure in the Trial Balance before accounts are prepared.

The rent for two months (November and December) has not been paid, that accrued rent is
$400 x 2 = $800. Taking this into consideration, rent for the accounting period should be
$4,800 and not $4,000 as under the cash basis of accounting.

Loss Account for the year is ($400 x 12) $4 800.00.

How to record prepaid expense?


Example:
Insurance premium of $750 has been paid for the period from January 2002
to March 2003. Assuming the accounting year ended on December 31,
2002 and the monthly insurance of $50 payable at the end of each month,
show the adjusting entries for insurance.

Insurance 750

Before the final accounts are prepared, adjustments are necessary to determine the insurance
expense related to the current period. The monthly insurance is $50. Since the financial year ends
on the December 31, 2002, it means the insurance for three months, that is, $150 has been paid
in advance. Hence, the insurance incurred for the accounting period is $750 - $150 = $600

CONTENT:
Accrued and prepaid Revenue

Revenues are from a source other than the main source of


business revenue that were due to be received by the end of
the period, but which have not been received by that date.

Revenue owing at the end of period (Accrued Revenue)

The revenue owing for sales is already shown in the books. These are the debit balances on our
customers’ accounts, that is, accounts receivable. There may be other kinds of revenue, all of
which have not been received at the end of the period, that is, rent receivable.

Example 1:

A business’ warehouse is larger than it needs to be. The business rents part of it to
another organization for $1,600 per annum. Details for the year ended December 31
were as follows.
The account for 2017 will appear as follows:

Example 2:

The rent received of $400 on January 7, 2018 will be entered in the books in 2018 (not shown).
Any rent paid by the business is charged as a debit to the profit and loss account. Any rent
received, being the opposite, is transferred to the credit of the profit and loss account, since it is
revenue/income.

The amount to be transferred to the profit and loss account for 2017 is the revenue earned for the
twelve months, that is, $1,600. The balance owed to the business - $400, is shown as a debit
balance brought down in January 2018, as it is an asset on December 31, 2017. The rent receivable
account can now be completed.

Expenses and revenue account balances and the statement of financial position

In all the cases listed - dealing with adjustments in the final accounts - there will still be a balance
on each account after the preparation of the trading and profit and loss account (income statement).
All such balances remaining should appear in the statement of financial position. The only
question left is where and how they shall be shown.

The amounts owing for expenses are usually added together and shown as one figure. These could
be called expense creditors, expenses owing, or accrued expenses. The items appear under current
liabilities, as they are expenses that have to be discharged in the near future. The items prepaid
are also added together and are called prepayments, prepaid expenses, or payments in advance.
They are shown next under the accounts receivable. Amounts owing for rents receivable or other
revenue owing are usually added to accounts receivable.

Example 1:

Example 2:

The following accounts for C. Holmes are shown entered up for transactions during the year
ended 31 December 2017, before balancing off as at 31 December 2017.

WEEK # 5 – TOPIC: SUSPENSE ACCOUNT


LESSON # 3: Definition and errors affecting the trial balance
CONTENT:
Suspense Account

Suspense Account - An account in which you can enter the amount equal to the
difference in the trial balance while you try to find the cause of the error(s) that resulted
in the failure of the trial balance to balance.

Suspense account - we should try very hard to find errors immediately when the trial balance
totals are not equal. When they cannot be found, the trial balance totals should be made to agree
with each other by inserting the amount of the difference between the two sides in a suspense
account.
Example:

There is a $40 difference in the trial balance of S. James. To make the two totals the same, a
figure of $40 for the suspense account has been shown on the credit side. A suspense account is
opened and the $40 difference is also shown there on the credit side.
Suspense account and the statement of financial position

If the error(s) are not found before the financial statements are prepared, the suspense account
balance will be included in the statement of financial position. Where the balance is a credit
balance, it should be included under current liabilities on the statement of financial position. When
the balance is a debit balance, it should be shown under current assets on the statement of financial
position.

NOTE: Large errors should always be found before the financial statements are drawn up.

When errors are found, they must be corrected using double entry. Each correction must be
described by an entry in the journal.
Example:

A trial balance at December 31, 2017 shows a difference of $77, being a shortage on the debit side.
A suspense account is opened, and the difference of $77 is entered on the debit side of the account.
On February 28, 2018, all the errors from the previous year were found:

(a) A cheque of $150 paid to L. King had been correctly entered in the cash book, but
had not been entered in King’s account.
(b) The purchases account has been under cast by $20.

(c) A cheque of $93 received from K. Saunders has been correctly entered in the cash book,
but has not been entered in K. Saunders’ account. These three errors have resulted in a net
error of $77, shown by a debit of $77 on the debit side of the suspense account.
These are corrected by:
= Making correcting entries in the accounts for (a), (b) and (c).
= Recording the double entry for these items in the suspense account.
NOTE: Only those errors that make the trial balance totals different from each other have to be
corrected via the suspense account.
The effect of errors on profits
Some of the errors will have meant that the calculation of original profits will be wrong.

Example:
Errors that do not affect profit calculations

If an error affects items only in the statement of financial position, then the original calculated
profit will not need to be altered.
Example:

$60 debit balance on the suspense account shown in the statement of financial position was
because on November 1, 2017, we paid $60 to a supplier, T. Monk and it was correctly entered
in the cash book, but it was not entered anywhere else. The error was found on June 1, 2018.

We can see that when this error is corrected, only two items in the final accounts will have to be
altered. These are (F) accounts payable, which will have to be reduced by $60, and (G) suspense
account, which will now be cancelled and not shown in the statement of financial position. This
means that neither the trading account nor the profit and loss account has been affected. The profit
as shown for 2017 is correct, but the statement of financial position is incorrect.
Errors that do affect profit calculations

If the error is in one of the entries labelled (A), (B), (C) or (D) shown in the trading and
profit and loss account, then the original profit will need to be altered.
Example 1:
Assume the $60 debit balance was because the rent account (C) was added up incorrectly: it
should be shown as $260 instead of $200 and the error was found on June 1, 2018. The journal
entries to correct it are:

Example 2:

There had been four errors found in the accounts of K. Black on March 31, 2018, their
correction can now be seen. Assume that the net difference had also been $60, with the four
errors as:
Error (A) affected the profits: both gross and net profit were overstated at $70 because of this
error. It also affected the Suspense account (G).

Error (B) showed purchases too high by ($95 – $59) = $36. This means that gross and net profits
were shown $36 too little. The other item affected is (F) Accounts payable, which is shown as
being $36 too much. This error does not affect (G) Suspense account.

Error (D) needs insurance increasing by $40. This will reduce the net profit by $40. It also
affects the Suspense account (G).

Error (E) does not affect the profits at all. It affects only items in the statement of financial
position, namely: (E) Accounts receivable and (G) Suspense account.

NOTE: Error (B) is known as an error of transposition, as the correct figures have been
shown in the wrong order; that is, they have been ‘transposed’. The entries in the ledger
accounts are as follows:

WEEK # 6 – TOPIC: PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTING


LESSON # 1: Examples, questions for students
CONTENT:
Definition

A partnership is a formal arrangement by two (2) to twenty (20) parties to


manage and operate a business and share its profits (loss). In the case of a
bank, the maximum partner allowed is ten (10).

A partnership venture may have all unlimited partners, this is, where everyone is liable to repay
any loss equally or in the ratio of their profit sharing.

In the case of limited partners, there must always be a partner that is unlimited. Should a loss be
incurred, the limited partners are only liable for what they have invested and no more, while the
unlimited partner would have to take unlimited responsibility for any debts.

All of the above would be agreed on in the Partnership Act and the Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership Agreement

This is a legally binding document that is set out by all the partners of the business, for the
partners of the business. It clearly covers the various contingencies and is used to avoid any
misunderstanding in the future. The Partnership Agreement is also referred to as the ‘Deed of
Partnership’. This agreement usually covers the:

➢ The amount of capital contributed by each partner


➢ The ratio in which profit/loss are to be appropriated
➢ The rate of interest, if any, to be paid on capital before the appropriation
of profit
➢ The rate of interest, if any, to be charged on drawings
➢ The rate of interest, if any, on loans given by the partners to the partnership
➢ Remuneration/salary to be allocated to the partners
➢ The maximum amount any partner can withdraw annually
➢ Procedure to be followed for admission of a new partner
➢ Procedure to be followed when a partner retires or dies.

The Partnership Act

In the absence of a partnership Agreement, the Partnership Act 1980 will be activated to
govern the partnership. This act states that, inter alia:

➢ Profits and losses are to be shared equally, irrespective of the amount of capital
contributed by the partners
➢ No interest to be allowed on capital
➢ No salary/remuneration to be allowed
➢ No interest to be charged on drawings
➢ All loans by partners to be paid an interest of 5%per annum.

Students’ Activity

Create a partnership venture and make a Partnership Agreement to govern this venture.
Characteristics of a Partnership

➢ Membership: At least two (2) persons to a maximum of twenty (20) persons are required to
begin a partnership.

➢ Unlimited liability: The members of a partnership have unlimited liability, i.e. they are
collectively and individually liable for the firm’s debts and obligations. So, if in case the
Business’assets are not adequate to repay liabilities, personal assets of all or any partner can
be claimed by the creditors to realise the outstanding amount.

➢ Mutual Agency: The partnership business is undertaken by all the partners or any of the
partner, who acts on behalf of all the partners. So, every partner is a principal as well as an
agent. Further, the acts of partners bind each other as well as the firm.

➢ Contractual Relationship: The relationship existing between/among partners is due to the


contract, which may be oral, written or implied.

➢ Transfer of interest: Mutual consent of all the partners is a must for transferring the interest
in the firm to any external party.
In a partnership, the decision making is done with the mutual consent of all the partners.
They share among themselves the decision-making and control of the regular business
operation.

Students Activity

Compare the Partnership with a sole trader and identify the differences

The Capital Account of a Partnership

Since each partner makes a contribution of a capital, each partner has a separate capital account.
It is usual for the capital to be fixed, i.e., the original amount plus any additional capital brought
in. It is essential to maintain Capital Accounts for each partner in order to show precisely the
financial stake held by each partner.

The Current Account

The current account is the current total of appropriations and the share of residual profit/loss, less
drawings. Separate current accounts are also opened for each partner with the view to record the
day-to-day transactions affecting the partners.
Current Account
Debit Credit
Balance brought down Balance brought down
Drawing Interest on capital
Interest on drawings Partners accrued salary
Interest on loan
Share of profit

The Appropriation Account


For a partnership, the primary purpose of the appropriation account is to show how profits
are distributed among the partners. The Appropriation Account starts just under the
trading profit and loss account, the first item of the appropriation account is the net profit
and it ends with share of profits.

Appropriation Account Format

LESSON # 2: Interest on capital, interest on drawings, partners salary
CONTENT:
Interest on capital
Interest on capital - This interest is treated as a deduction prior to the calculation of profits and
the latter’s distribution, according to the profit-sharing ratio. The rate of interest is a matter of
agreement between/among the partners, but it should equal the return they would have received
if they had invested the capital elsewhere.
Interest on Drawing
It is obviously in the best interest of the business if cash is withdrawn from the business by the
partners in accordance with the two basic principles of:
(a) as little as possible, and
(b) as late as possible.

The more cash that is left in the business, the more expansion can be financed, the greater the
economies of having ample cash to take advantage of bargains and not missing out on cash
discounts, and so on.

To deter the partners from taking out cash unnecessarily, the concept can be used of charging them
interest on each drawing or withdrawal, calculated from the date of withdrawal to the end of the
financial year. The amount charged to the partners helps to swell the profits divisible
between/among them. The rate of interest should be sufficient to achieve this without being too
harsh.

Formula for interest on drawings


Drawings’ amount * time (months) * %
Entering Interest on Drawing in the books

Partners’ Salary

One partner may have more responsibility or tasks than others. As a reward for this and rather
than change the profit and loss-sharing ratio, that partner may have a salary, which is deducted
before sharing the balance of profits.
Entering partners’ salary into the appropriate books:

LESSON # 3: Interest on loan, final accounts of a partnership
CONTENT:
Interest on Loan

In some instances, a business may opt to take a loan from its partner before approaching a bank
for a loan. This loan cannot be treated as capital investment; thus, it is treated as any other loan
would be. The loan from the partner would also be repaid in a specific time frame while attracting
an interest rate. Interest on loan taken from partners is debited to the (Profit & Loss) A/C and
not the Appropriation A/C.
Worked Example:

Things to make note of from the question:

Out of the 3 partners in the business, Moore has a $30 (debit) and Maraj has a $1,000 DR.

The DR balance is placed on the debit side of the current account. This balance indicates that
Moore and Maraj did not make a gain in the last financial year or period. They basically
withdrew a higher amount and were charged interest on drawings, which was more than the
amount they would have earned in their current account.

Mendez’ balance of $30,000 goes on the credit side of his current account.
Only Mendez is to be paid a salary

LESSON # 2: Admission of a new partner and goodwill
CONTENT:
Admission of a new Partner
Reasons for the admission of a new partner
New partners may be admitted to a partnership, usually for one of three reasons:

1. The business has grown or because someone is needed who has different skills from
those of the existing partners.
2. To replace a partner who ceases to be a member of the firm: this might be because of the
retirement or death of a partner.
3. To bring in additional capital.

NOTE: When a new partner is admitted to an existing business, an important factor to


be consider is goodwill.

Goodwill

Goodwill is an intangible asset that is associated with the purchase of one


company by another. Specifically, goodwill is the portion of the purchase
price that is higher than the sum of the net-fair value of all of the assets.
purchased in the acquisition and the liabilities assumed in the process.
Reasons for payment of goodwill
In buying an existing business, which has been established for some time, there may be quite
a few possible advantages. Some of them are listed below.

a. There is a large number of regular customers who will continue to deal with the
business under a new owner.

b. The business has a good reputation.


c. It has experienced, efficient and reliable employees.
d. The business is situated in a good location.
e. It has good contacts with suppliers.

101
f. It may have good brand names that are known and recognised within the industry.

Few of those advantages are available to a completely new business. For this reason, many
people will decide to buy an existing business and pay an extra amount for goodwill.

Methods of calculating goodwill

There is no single way of calculating goodwill on which everyone can agree. The seller will
probably want more for the goodwill than the buyer will want to pay. All that is certain is
that, when an agreement is reached between buyer and seller, the selling price includes the
amount of goodwill.

Various methods are used to help the buyer and seller come to an agreed figure. The
calculations give the buyer and seller a figure with which to begin discussions of the value
of the business. Very often, each industry or occupation has its own customary way of
calculating goodwill.

Method 1

Direct pay off of Goodwill without record (off the book)


When a new partner buys into the business, their capital is recorded into the books while
their premium for goodwill is an additional amount. This amount is paid directly to the
existing partners of the business. No official record of this is made in the books.

Method 2

Premium paid is retained in the business but NO Goodwill account is opened


The extra premium for goodwill brought in by the new partner is debited to the Cash Book
and credited to the Capital Account of the partner, according to the original profit and loss
sharing ratio. The Goodwill Account is not opened, and the original partners’ Capital
Accounts are increased.

Method 3

Opening a Goodwill Account


When the new partner has no extra cash to bring in for goodwill, a Goodwill Account is
created. The double entries are crediting the original partners’ Capital Account to the
original profit and loss sharing ratio and debiting the Goodwill Account.

102
Method 4

Goodwill withdrawn by original partners


When the new partner has no extra cash to bring in as premium, a goodwill Account is
created and the original partners are entitled to withdraw this amount of goodwill.

Goodwill is placed on the Balance Sheet as Non-Current Account.

Shares in a public limited company are listed


on the stock exchange and can, therefore, be
easily bought and sold.

Legal Status of a Limited Company

The most important feature of a limited company is its status in law as a separate legal entity.
This means that no matter how many individuals have bought its shares, it is treated in its dealings
with the outside world as if it were a ‘person’ in its own right. When a limited company is formed,
it is required by law to raise two documents known as the Memorandum of Association and the
Articles of Association.

106
The Memorandum of Association sets out the details of the company and its objectives, while
the Articles of Association state the regulations concerning the powers of the directors. These
regulations are of the utmost importance when it is realised that the legal owners of the business,
namely the shareholders, have entrusted the running of the company to the directors.

The capital structures


There are two main types of shares:

• Preference shares – Preference shareholders get an agreed percentage rate of dividend


before the ordinary shareholders receive anything.

• Ordinary shares – Ordinary shareholders receive the remainder of the total profits
available for dividends. There is no upper limit to the amounts of dividends they can
receive.

The key features of ordinary shares:


➢ They have no maturity date.
➢ They give you a claim to the income and assets of the company.
➢ A company can't dilute your ordinary shareholding.
➢ Your losses are strictly limited.
➢ They come with voting rights.

Features of preference shares:

Preference shares have a wide range of features, as corporate emphasizes a set of features
while issuing them. These include:
➢ Dividends for preference shareholders.
➢ Preference shareholders have no right to vote in the annual general meeting
of a company.
➢ These are a long-term source of finance.
➢ Dividend payable is generally higher than debenture
interest.
➢ There is a right on assets when the company is
liquidated.
➢ There is a Par-value of preference shares.
➢ There is a fixed-rate of dividend, irrespective of the volume of profit
gained.
➢ There is a Pre-emptive right of preference shareholders.
➢ There is a Hybrid security of preference shares because it also bears some characteristics
of debentures.
➢ The dividend is not a tax-deductible expenditure.
➢ Shareholders also enjoy preferential right to receive dividend.

107
There are two main types of preference shares:

• Non-cumulative preference shares – These can receive a dividend up to an agreed


percentage each year. If the amount paid is less than the maximum agreed amount,
any shortfall is lost by the shareholders.

• Cumulative preference shares – These also have an agreed maximum percentage


dividend. However, any shortage of dividend paid in a year can be carried forward.

Classification of Capital
Share Capital and Dividends
The term ‘share capital’ refers to:

Authorised share capital – the total of the share capital that the company
would be allowed to issue.
(as stated in the Memorandum of Association); also called ‘nominal
NOTE: In the Companies Act 2006, a company capital’ is no longer required to have authorised share
capital and only the issued/allotted share capital will be included in the financial statements.

(a) Authorized share capital- is the total of the shared capital that the company would be
allowed to issue (as stated in the memorandum of association); also “nominal-
capital”.

(b) Issued share capital – the amount of share capital actually issued to shareholders.

(c) Called-up capital – where only part of the amounts payable on each share has been
asked for; the total amount requested on all the shares is known as the ‘called-up
capital’.
(d) Uncalled capital – the amount that is to be received in future, but which has not yet been
requested.

(e) Calls in arrears – the amount for which payment has been requested (that is, called
for), but has not yet been paid by shareholders.

(f) Paid-up capital – the total of the amount of share capital that has been paid for by
shareholders. If all of the authorized shared capital has been issued then item (a) and (b)
in the above are the same.

The example below illustrates these different meanings.

108
Example:

Better Enterprises Ltd. was formed with the legal right to be able to issue 100,000 shares of $1
each. The company has actually issued 75,000 shares. None of the shares has yet been fully paid
up; so far, the company has made calls of 80 cents ($0.80) per share. All of the calls have been
paid by shareholders except for $200 owing from one particular shareholder. On this basis,
therefore:

(a) Authorised (or nominal) share capital is $100,000.


(b) Issued share capital is $75,000.

(c) Called-up capital is (75,000 × $0.80) = $60,000.


(d) Uncalled capital is issued share capital less called-up capital ($75,000 –$60,000) = $15,000.
(e) Calls in arrears amounted to $200.
(f) Paid-up capital is called-up capital less calls in arrears ($60,000 – $200) = $59,800.

CONTENT:
DEFINITION:
A Limited liability company is an organization owned by its
shareholders, whose liability is limited to their share capital.

NOTE:
A limited liability company is a business whose owners’ liability for the business’ debts is limited
to the amount of money that they invested in shares in the business, so their personal possessions
cannot be lost.

ACTIVITY
1. WHAT IS THE OWNER OF A
COMPANY CALLED?
2. LIST THE TWO (2) TYPES OF
COMPANIES.

Sources of Finance for a Limited Liability Company


1. Shares
The capital of a limited company is divided into small units of equal amounts called SHARES.
The value of a share in a limited company could be as low as 1 cent, but $1 shares are more
typical, and shares with other ‘face values’ are possible. The face value of shares is called the
nominal value.

2. Bank loan
A Company can source capital by taking a loan from the bank.

LESSON # 2: How is capital raised in a limited liability company and cooperatives
CONTENT:
The capital of a limited company
When a limited company is formed, a decision has to be made as to the maximum amount of
capital that can be raised. The amount is known as the Authorized Share Capital. It is not
necessary to actually raise this amount immediately because initially the company will not require
resources of that value. The total of a company’s shares that are held by shareholders is called
Issued Share Capital. The capital of a company is divided into shares.

There are two main types of shares:

➢ Preference shares – Preference shareholders get an agreed percentage rate of dividend


before the ordinary shareholders receive anything.

➢ Ordinary shares – Ordinary shareholders receive the remainder of the total profits
available for dividends. There is no upper limit to the amounts of dividends they can
receive.

A DEBENTURE is one of the most common forms of long-


DEBENTURES term loans. It is a loan that should be repaid on a specific date.
The debenture certificate issued by a company is an
acknowledgement that the company has borrowed an amount
of money, which it promises to repay at a future date.
Debenture holders are creditors of the company. They have a
fixed rate of interest. Debenture is charged to the income
statement.

WEEK # 8 – AN INTRODUCTION FOR ACCOUNTING FOR LIMITED COMPANIES


LESSON # 3: Journal entries for issue of Shares and Debentures: Debentures calculations
CONTENT:
Recording the issue of shares
When a company issues shares, the amount of money received will depend upon the following
factors:
➢ The number of shares issued
➢ The face value of shares (sometimes called the ‘nominal’ or ‘par value’)
➢ Whether the company is able to issue the shares at a value above the face value.

If the company issues the shares for a price above the face value, the additional amount received
is call “Share Premium.”

NOTE

In accounting records, it is essential to keep a separate record of the face value of shares and the
share premium.

118
HOW TO PREPARE JOURNAL ENTRIES TO RECORD ISSUE OF SHARES?

119
JOURNAL TO RECORD ISSUES OF SHARES

Completing the shareholders’ equity section in the statement of financial position (balance sheet)

EXAMPLE 2:
Calculating Interest on Debentures
A limited company has $400,000 7% debentures (2024 - 2026). These debentures have a 7% rate
of interest, so the total interest to be paid is; $400,000 * 0.07 = $2, 000. The debentures must be
redeemed between 2024 and 2026. Debentures are issued for cash.

120
Creating the journal entry to record the issue of debentures
A LIMITED COMPANY ISSUED $300 000 8% DEBENTURES. The journal to record this is:

Preference shareholder must be paid their fixed dividend: then the remaining dividend will be
distributed or paid to ordinary shareholders. The decisions will be influenced by:
➢ The desire to reward the owners of the company.
➢ The amount of profit available for dividend
➢ The amount of liquid funds the company will have available when the time comes to pay
the dividend.

EXAMPLES OF CALCULATING DIVIDENDS

Company A has 200,000 8% preference shares of $1 each.


Solution:
➢ The preference share dividend will amount to 8% of (200,000 * $1. That is 8% * $200,
000 = $16,000.

Company B has 400,000 ordinary shares of $1 each and the directors have announced a
25% dividend.
Solution:
➢ The ordinary share dividend will amount to 25% of (400,000 * $1 that is 25% * $400,
000 = $100,000.
Company C has 1000 000 ordinary shares of 50 cents each and the directors have
announced a 15 % dividend.
Solution:
➢ The ordinary share dividend will amount to 15% of (1,000,000 * 50 cents) that is $500,
000 = $75,000.

121
PRACTICE THESE QUESTIONS

1. Preparing the journal to record the issue of ordinary shares

WEEK # 9 – LIMITED COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


LESSON # 1: Income Statement and Appropriation Account - Limited Company income
statement
CONTENT:
The Income Statement
The income statement of a limited company is similar to that of the sole trader. However, some
expenses are only relevant to a limited company and the profit is either shared out to the
shareholders in the form of dividends or retained by the company for future use as Reserves.

EXAMPLES OF LIMITED COMPANY EXPENSES:

1. AUDITORS’ FEES
AUDITORS are appointed by the directors to verify the accuracy of the records and
financial statements. They are independent and are appointed to report back to the
shareholders at the AGM on whether the accounts are ‘true and fair’. Their fees are
recorded as an expense in the income statement and if unpaid and owing for that financial
period, they are shown as current liability in the balance sheet.

2. DIRECTORS’ RENUMERATION
Directors are appointed by the shareholders to manage the business on their behalf. They
have a stewardship role. All monies paid to directors are referred to as their remuneration
and are recorded as an expense in the income statement. If any remuneration is outstanding
and unpaid at the end of the year, it is recorded in the current liabilities of the balance sheet.

124
3. DEBENTURE INTEREST
Debentures are loans that bear a fixed rate of interest. This interest is an expense and should
be recorded in the income statement. If all or part of the interest remains unpaid, it should
be recorded as an accrual in the current liabilities section of the statement of financial
position (balance sheet). The debentures are recorded as a non- current liability.

127
THE APPROPIATION ACCOUNT
The financial statements of a limited company include an appropriation account that
shows the decisions made by the directors about the profits of the company.
The account includes:
➢ The profit (loss) for the year, transferred from the income statement.
➢ Any profits made in the past that were not distributed (known as opening balance
or retained profits brought forward)
➢ Proposed dividends
➢ The transfer of some of the profits to a general reserve or any other reserve

CONTENT:

The statement of financial position (Balance sheet) of a limited company is very similar to
that of a sole trade in layout, except the capital section (opening capital + profit – drawings)
is replaced with an equity section that includes details of shares and reserves.
The Statement of Financial Position (Balance sheet)

The Balance Sheet of a limited liability company - the emphasis is on the capital structure of
the firm. It consists of three sections: capital, loans, and reserves. Authorized and issued share
capital is represented in the capital section, while long term liabilities are represented in the
loan section. Any transfer to the reserves and undistributed profits are represented in the
reserves section. Proposed dividends have not been paid; therefore, it is a current liability in the
balance sheet.

Example of the statement of financial position (balance sheet)

The Statement of financial position (balance sheet) for Nearly There Ltd at December 31, 2018.
The extract is showing how the balance sheet is prepared using the necessary information for the

Revenue and Capital Reserves
Reserves are profits made by the company that have not been distributed to shareholders. There
are TWO kinds of Reserves.
1. Capital reserves, which are created as a result of non-trading activities. Revaluation
reserves, which arise when non-current assets are revalued at a higher value than their
current net book value. Capital reserves may not be used to finance a dividend payment to
shareholders.
2. Revenue reserve arise from the ordinary trading activities of the company. Revenue
reserves can be used to finance dividend payments to shareholders. Revenues are normally
deliberately created by the directors of a company to strengthen the position of the
company by withholding dividend payments.

LESSON # 1: Types of Cooperative and Income and Expenditure Statement
CONTENT:

FOR A RECAP OF THE DEFINITION, PRINCIPLES AND


EXAMPLES OF COOPERATIVES,
PLEASE REVIEW WEEK 8: LESSON 1 OF THIS
WORKSHEET

TYPES OF COOPERATIVES

Service cooperatives - Members can trade with cooperative societies, that is, they buy from them
and sell to them. Generally, service cooperatives provide marketing opportunities, credit facilities,
supplies, equipment and other such services to their members. The success of this type of
cooperative depends largely on the extent to which members use it.

Production or worker cooperatives - These cooperatives are also known as industrial


cooperatives or workshop cooperatives. The members of these cooperatives not only provide
goods and services to the public, but also employment for themselves.

RAISING FINANCE FOR A COOPERATIVE SOCIETY


The primary source of capital for a cooperative is from its members purchasing goods and
services from the society.
Other ways of raising finance include:
➢ the sale of shares to members
➢ grants
➢ donations
➢ membership fees
➢ interest on members’ deposits

144
JOURNAL ENTRIES TO RECORDING CAPITAL

Accounts of Cooperative Societies


Cooperative societies prepare income and expenditure accounts, cash flow statements and
statements of financial position, accompanied by the appropriate notes to these financial
statements.
The accounts of the societies must be audited and distributed to their members. There are no
requirements for these accounts to be made available to the public at large, which is the case for
public companies. The excess of income over expenditure is called a surplus, while the excess of
expenditure over income is referred to as a deficit.

LESSON # 2: Cooperatives Appropriation Account
CONTENT:

AN APPROPIATION ACCOUNT
An appropriation account is used within the final accounts of a cooperative to share the profits out
to its members.

There is a section under the profit and loss account called the profit and loss appropriation
account. The appropriation account shows how the net profits are to be appropriated, that is, how
the profits are to be used.
We may find any of the following in the appropriation account:

Credit side:
➢ Net profit for the year – This is the net profit brought down from the main profit and loss
account.

➢ Balance brought forward from last year – As you will see, all the profit may not be
appropriated during a period. This then will be the balance on the appropriation account,
as brought forward from the previous year. They are usually called retained profits.

152
Debit side:
➢ Transfers to reserves – The directors may decide that some of the profits should not
be included in the calculation of how much should be paid out as dividends. These
profits are transferred to reserve accounts.

➢ Amounts written off as goodwill – Any amounts written off as goodwill should be shown
in the appropriation account and not in the main profit and loss account.

➢ Amounts written off as preliminary expenses – When a company is formed, there are
many kinds of expenses concerned with its formation. These include, for example, legal
expenses and various government taxes. The amount of preliminary expenses can be
written off and charged in the appropriation account.

➢ Taxation payable on profits – Although this is not on your syllabus, taxation, in fact, is
an appropriation of profits and would be shown as a debit in the appropriation account.

➢ Dividends – Out of the remainder of the profits, the directors propose the amount of
dividends to be paid.

➢ Balance carried forward to next year – After the dividends have been proposed, there
will probably be some profits that have not been appropriated. These retained profits will
be carried forward to the following year.

The appropriation account of North Enterprise Cooperative is:

LESSON # 1: Non-profit organizations and Receipts and Payments Account


CONTENT:

Non-Profit Organizations are other organizations whose objective is not to make a profit,
but instead provide facilities for their members to pursue a hobby, sporting activity or
provide voluntary services. These clubs and associations do not have to prepare a trading
and profit and loss account since they are not formed to carry on trading or make profits.
Instead, the financial statements prepared by them are either receipts and payments
accounts or income and expenditure accounts.

RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT

Receipts and payments accounts are usually prepared by the treasurer of the club or association.
This account is a summary of the cash book, for the period and if the organization has no assets
(other than cash) and no liabilities, a summary of the cash book tells the members all they need
to know about the financial activities during a period.
➢ Debit all receipts
➢ Credit all payments
Typical receipts for a non –profit organization include:

➢ Subscription received from members (usually the main source of finance).


➢ Amounts received in connection with events designed to provide some extra finance for
the organization; for example, sales of refreshments, tickets sales for an event.
➢ Donations from members.
➢ Amounts received from the disposal of unwanted non-current assets; for example, the
sale of tennis equipment in a sports club.
➢ Loans from members.

Typical payments for a non- profit


organization include:

➢ Expenses
➢ Purchases of inventory for sale in club’s
café
➢ Additional non-current assets
➢ Repayment of members’ loans

LESSON # 3: Work in Progress Section of the Manufacturing Account
CONTENT:
Work in Progress
A work in progress (WIP) account is an inventory account that includes goods that are in the
process of being produced, but are not yet finished.

Working in Progress (WIP) can be classified into:

➢ WIP at the start WIP at the close


The work in progress at close (particularly completed goods on hand at year end) form the
manufacturer’s inventory or stock.

➢ The stock is determined by a physical count


The cost of these partially finished units is determined by estimating the cost of the raw materials,
direct labour and overhead associated with these units.

TOTAL COST
PRIME COST + FACTORY OVERHEADS + OPENING WORK IN PROGRESS – CLOSING

LESSON # 1: Stock Valuation, importance and The First In First Out Method
CONTENT:
Definition

Stock Valuation - Stock valuation is the process of determining the current (or projected) worth of
a stock at a given time period. It is used to determine the value of closing stock at the end of the
period. The sales department would use stock valuation to keep track of the stock-on-hand; it also
indicates when as well as how much stocks should be bought.
Importance of Stock Valuation
➢ Determine the value of current assets (stock)
➢ Determine the cost of goods sold, gross profit and net profit (the trading account)
➢ Incorrect value of stock affects the value of current assets, current year’s profit as well as the
profit of the subsequent year.
NOTE: Historical convention governs inventory of a business. Stock valuation follows the
principles of conservation. Stock is valued at the cost price or the market value, whichever one is
lower.

ADVANTAGES OF FIFO METHOD DISADVANTAGES OF FIFO METHOD

CONTENT:
Definition
LIFO- Last in First out - is a method used to account for inventory that records the most recently
produced items as sold first (the last set of items purchased will be the first to be sold).

ACTIVITY: CALCULATE THE
LIFO FOR THE FOLLOWING:

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LIFO METHOD

179
The AVCO method of stock valuation
AVCO - average cost - calculates the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold for a period on the
basis of weighted average cost per unit of inventory.
Using the AVCO method, with each receipt of goods, the average cost for each item of inventory is
recalculated. Further, issues of goods are then at that figure, until another receipt of goods; this means that
another recalculation is needed.

LESSON # 1: Payroll
CONTENT:

PONDER ON THESE
QUESTIONS
- How much did Cynthia earn for
the month?
- What is her total deductions?
- What is her Net Pay?

Payroll
The payroll is the list of all a business’ employees that shows details of the wages or salaries paid
to each individual and how these amounts were calculated.

Gross Pay - Is the amount due to be paid by an employer in wages or salaries in return for work
done, before making any deductions. Wages are often paid weekly and can be paid in cash; salaries
are usually paid monthly, either by cheque or directly into the employee’s bank account.

184
Ways in which Gross pay can be calculated:

Fixed rate Salaries or wages are usually an agreed amount for a year; they may be
reviewed with the possibility of a pay rise.
Time rate Often, wages are based on the hours worked, with an hourly rate agreed
with the employer. Usually, an employee is expected to work an agreed
number of hours per week.
However, sometimes employees may work ‘overtime’ (more than the
agreed hours) and be paid at a higher rate for these extra hours.
Piece rates Wages can be based on the amount of work done, that is, the number of
products made or operations carried out, with an agreed rate per
product/operation. Employees who work faster therefore earn more than
those who work more slowly.
Commission Some individuals are paid at a basic rate plus an additional amount that
is dependent on the number of sales they have achieved.

How to calculate fixed salary:

ACTIVITY

Kris and Rishi work at Best Price Hotels Ltd. During Year 1, Kris’s salary was $112,000 per annum
and Rishi’s wage was $56,000 per annum. Both employees received a pay increase of 4% for year
2.
Calculate Kris’s monthly salary and Rishi’s weekly wages for Years 1 and 2.

185
Time Rates

Rhonda works part-time in a local restaurant. Rhonda is paid $24 per hour. During the week ended
May 7, 2018, Rhonda was employed for 17 hours.
Rhonda will be paid a wage of 17 hours * $24 = $408.

ACTIVITY: CALCULATE GROSS PAY

186
Piece rate
Payment is based on the number of units produced or operations completed. The employee is paid
only for work completed, although most employers agree a minimum wage regardless of work
completed. Piece rate payment is an incentive to encourage workers to work faster – although it is
important to ensure that quality does not suffer as a result of faster production.
Example: Lowe Production Co. manufactures parts for the motor-car industry. It pays its workers
piecework rates as follows:
• Part PCD 27 = $2.10
• Part JB 103 = $7.45
The company also has a minimum wage agreement of $175 per week. During the first week of
January, one of the workers, John Moss, produces 60 Part PCD 27s and 12 Part JB 103s. His wage
for the week would be:
$
126.0
60 x $2.10 0
89.
12 x $7.45 40
215.4
0

Another worker, Philip Hanson, produces 50 Part PCD 27s and 8 Part JB 103s; his wage is calculated
by the piece rates as follows:

$
50 x $2.10 105.00
8 x $ 7.45 59. 60
164.60

Commission
Commission is a percentage based on the number of sales made by an employee. Commission may
be paid in addition to a basic salary or instead of a salary.
Example: Carol Chapman and Diane Dawson work for a computer software company. Their
salaries are $12,000 and $10,800, respectively, plus a commission of 1% of total sales made each

187
month. During July, Carol’s sales totaled $30,000 and Diane’s $17,000. Their July salaries would
be as follows:
Carol
$12,000 = $1,000 per month
12
Plus 1% $30,000 = $3,00
$ 1,300
Diane
$10,800 = $900 per month
12
Plus 1% $17,000 = $170
$ 1070

Sales Budget

A sales budget is a prediction of the number of units that a business will sell and their value for the
future period. Normally, the budget is prepared on a month-by-month basis.

many aspects of a business’ future cash inflow, purchasing or production requirements.

Dylan manufactures a single product. He forecasts that sales for each of the three months ended May
31, 2019 will be:

2019 Units

March 420

April 440

May 400

NOTE: The selling of the product is $60 each.
