• Recognition and classification of inventory
• Relationship between cost, gross profit and
selling price
• Measuring the cost of inventory
• Other recognition and measurement issues
• Cost formulae
• Measurement of inventory at period end
• Inventory errors
• Estimating inventory

Recognition and classification of
inventory
• Affects the
– Statement of profit or loss, and
– Statement of financial position

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 3


Recognition and classification of
inventory. . .
• Conceptual Framework definition of asset
– Present economic resource
– Controlled by the entity
– As a result of past events
• IAS 2 defines inventories as assets that
– Are held for sale in the ordinary course of
business
– Are held as materials or supplies to be consumed

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 4


Recognition and classification of
inventory . . .
• Important to distinguish between goods held
for resale and consumable stores

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 5


Relationship between cost, gross
profit and selling price
• Mark-up on cost
Cost 100 mark-up on cost = GP/C= 25% (25/100)
GP 25
SP 125 expected GP% = GP/SP = 20% (25/125)

• Expected GP %
Cost 75 mark-up on cost = GP/C= 33,3% (25/75)
GP 25
SP 100 expected GP% = GP/SP = 25% (25/100)

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 6


Measuring the cost of inventory
• Cost of inventory comprises all costs of
purchase and other costs incurred in bringing
the inventory to its present location and
condition.

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 7


Costs of purchase
• Purchase price and import duties
• Non-recoverable taxes
– If VAT is non-recoverable, it forms part of the cost of
inventory
– If VAT is recoverable from tax authorities, no cost has been
incurred
• Transport costs
– Transport inwards
• cost of transporting purchased inventory from the supplier
to the purchaser
• Included in cost of inventory asset
– Transport outwards
• cost of delivering sold inventory to the customer
• recorded as an expense

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 8


Other costs
• Included to the extent incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and
condition
• Examples include
– Cost of customising an item for a customer
– Cost of storing maturing inventory

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 9


Goods in transit
• Goods that have not physically arrived at the
premises of the buying entity
• Key issue is whether control of the goods has
passed from supplier to buyer
– Factors to consider include right of payment, legal
title, physical possession and transfer of risks and
rewards of ownership

Goods on consignment
• Goods on consignment are
– goods delivered by entity owning the goods
(consignor)
– to another entity who sells the goods on behalf of
the owner (consignee)
• Control remains with consignor
– included in consignor’s inventory
– not included in consignee’s inventory

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 14


Inventory shortages
• Detection and prevention of
inventory shortages is a key area of
management responsibility
• Physical inventory needs to be
counted at regular intervals
– GP% computed for periodic system
– cost of inventory counted is compared
to balance in inventory a/c for perpetual
system
• Amount of shortage is recognised as
an expense, and usually included in
cost of sales
© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 15
Periodic system
• Need to compare actual GP% with
expected GP%
• Reconciliation:
Expected GP% 50,00%
Actual GP% 48,75%
Difference 1,25%
Known shortage 0,50%
Unknown shortage 0,25%
1,25%
• Cost of shortage is included in COS as cost
of inventory lost is included in opening
inventory or purchases and not included in
closing inventory
© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 16
Perpetual system
• Cost of physical count of inventory compared
to GL balance in inventory a/c
• Inventory a/c adjusted to reflect physical
count by recording difference as inventory
shortage
• Recording the shortage
Dr Inventory shortage (E)
Cr Inventory (A)
• Reconciliation between expected GP% and
actual GP%

Cost formulae
• Several different methods for determining
cost of sales and cost of inventories
– Specific identification
– FIFO
– Weighted average
• All cost flow assumptions, and do not
necessarily conform to the actual physical
movement of the goods

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 19


Specific identification

• Used where items of


inventory are dissimilar
and not interchangeable
• Feasible when inventory
items are uniquely
identifiable and of
sufficient value to keep
detailed records

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 20


FIFO
• FIFO method based on the cost flow
assumption that the first units acquired are
the first units sold
• When using FIFO
– COS is represented by the cost of the earliest
purchases
– CI is represented by the cost of the latest
purchases

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 21


Weighted average
• Weighted average method is based on the
cost flow assumption of the weighted
average cost
Weighted average Cost of inventory at beginning +
cost per item = cost of inventory purchased
Total units available for sale

• Thus, in times of rising prices,


– COS is reported above the FIFO amount
– CI is reported below the FIFO amount

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 22


Measuring inventory at period end
- Lower of cost and net realisable value
• Inventory is measured at the lower of
– Cost
– NRV
• Consistent with view that assets should not
be carried in excess of amounts expected
from their sale or use

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 23


Lower of cost and net realisable value . .
• Cost
– All costs of purchase and other costs incurred in
bringing inventory to its present location and
condition
– Computed based on one of the cost formulas
• NRV
– Estimated selling price in ordinary course of
business
less
Costs of completion and costs to make sale

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 24


Accounting for the write-down of
inventory
• When preparing financial statements,
management assesses the NRV of inventory
items
– If NRV > cost, closing entries processed as usual
– If NRV < cost
• Amount of write-down is recognised as an expense
• Inventory write-down expense usually included in
cost of sales

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 25


Accounting for write-down of inventory:
Periodic system
• Closing inventory entered into accounting
system at reduced value
• Lower closing inventory leads to
– Higher COS
– Lower GP and profit
• Reconciliation needed between expected
GP% and actual GP%

© Juta and Company, 2019 Inventory 6e 26


Accounting for write-down of inventory:
(perpetual system)
• Balance on inventory a/c represents cost of
inventory at end of period - no specific entry
required to introduce closing inventory into
accounting system
• Recording the write-down
Dr Inventory write-down (E)
Cr Inventory (A)
• Higher COS leads to lower GP and profit
• Reconciliation needed between expected

Estimating inventory
• Value of closing inventory
may need to be estimated
in relation to two points in
time
– closing inventory at some
point in current period (eg,
fire or theft)
– closing inventory at end of a
previous period (eg,
inventory not counted at end
of previous period

Contents
• The nature of property, plant and equipment
• Definition and recognition of property, plant and
equipment
• Measurement at acquisition
• Depreciation expense
• Reassessment of useful life and residual value
• Disposals

The nature of property, plant and
equipment
• Assets categorised as
– Non-current
– Current
• Non-current assets categorised as
– Tangible
• Including land, buildings, plant and machinery,
equipment, vehicles
• Collectively known as property, plant and equipment
– Non-tangible
• Including goodwill, patents
© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 3
Definition and recognition of
property, plant and equipment
Definition
• Conceptual framework definition of asset
– Present economic resource
– Controlled by the entity
– As a result of past events
• IAS 16 defines property, plant and equipment as tangible
assets that
– are held by an entity
• for use in production or supply of goods or services
• for rental to others
• for administration purposes
– are expected to be used during more than one period
4
© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 4
Definition and recognition of property,
plant & equipment . . .
Recognition
• Item of P, P & E recognised as an asset if
– probable future economic benefits will flow to the entity
– cost measured reliably
• Entity evaluates all costs associated with items of P, P & E at
the time they are incurred. Includes costs incurred
– Initially to acquire item
– Subsequently to replace part of it or service it
• Costs of day to day servicing recognised as an expense
when incurred

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 5


Measurement at acquisition
- Elements of cost
• An item of property, plant and equipment should be
measured initially at cost

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 6


Measurement at acquisition. . .
- Measurement of cost
• Cost of item of P, P & E is cash
price equivalent at recognition
date
• If payment deferred beyond
normal credit terms, interest
expense is recognised

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 7


Depreciation expense

• The use of an item of property, plant


and equipment represents a
consumption of the benefits inherent
in the asset
• Expense known as depreciation

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 8


Terminology
• Depreciation – allocation of depreciable amount of
asset over its useful life
• Depreciable amount = Cost of asset – residual value
• Useful life
– Period of time asset is available to entity, or
– Number of units of output expected to be obtained from
the asset
• Residual value – Estimated amount entity would
currently obtain from the asset if it were already of age
and condition at end of its useful life
• Carrying amount = Cost – accumulated depreciation

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 9


Depreciable amount, depreciation
period, useful life and carrying amount
• Example
– Cost : C120 000
– Estimated useful life : 4 years
– Residual value : C15 000
– Straight line method
– Available for use from 01/05/X5
– Used from 01/06/X5
– Year end 31/12/X5

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 10


Depreciable amount . . .
• Allocated on systematic basis over asset’s
useful life
• Example . . .
C
Cost 120 000
Residual value (15 000)
Depreciable amount 105 000

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 11


Depreciation period . . .

• Begins when asset is available for use


(location and condition capable of
operating in manner intended by
management)
• Ceases when asset is derecognised
• Example . . .
– Asset available for use on 1 May 20X5 (even
though only used from 1 June 20X5)

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 12


Useful life . . .
• Future economic benefits consumed
through use of the asset
• Other factors to take into account to
determine useful life
– Expected usage
– Expected physical wear and tear
– Technological or commercial obsolescence
• Example . . .
– Useful life is 4 years

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 13


Carrying amount . . .
• As economic benefits are consumed,
carrying amount is reduced by charging
depreciation expense
• Carrying amount represents future
benefits yet to be consumed as
depreciation
• Depreciation charge is made even if fair
value exceeds carrying amount
© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 14
Example . . .
C
Cost 120 000
Accumulated (C120 000 – C15 000) / 4 yrs x 8/12) (17 500)
depreciation
Carrying amount, at 31/12/X5 102 500

• Available for use: 1 May 20X5 (8/12)


• Used from: 1 June 20X5

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 15


Methods of depreciation
• Straight-line method
– Depreciation expense = Cost - residual value
Useful life
• Diminishing balance method
– Depreciation expense = Carrying amount x % rate
– % rate = (1 - n√r/c)

• Units of production method


– Depreciation = Depreciable X Output in period
expense amount Total estimated
output

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 16


Accounting entries
• For presentation, the original cost and related
accumulated depreciation are shown separately on
the statement of financial position
Dr Depreciation expense (E)
Cr Accumulated depreciation (-A)
• Accounting equation expanded to accommodate
accumulated depreciation

© Kolitz & Quinn, 2005


© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 17
Depreciation of significant parts
• Each part of an item of P, P & E with a cost
significant in relation to the total cost is
depreciated separately
• Separate but significant parts may have
same useful life and depreciation method –
grouped together for depreciation purposes
• After significant parts identified, remainder
of the non-significant parts are grouped
together for calculation of depreciation

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 18


Reassessment of useful life and
residual value
• Useful life, residual value and depreciation
method of need to be reviewed annually
• if expectations are significantly different from
original estimates
– depreciation charge for current and future periods
is adjusted
• Revised depreciation expense calculated as
Carrying amount - residual value
Remaining useful life

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 19


Disposals
• Disposal occurs when asset is sold, scrapped
or stolen
• Known as the derecognition of the asset
• Profit or loss on disposal = Proceeds – Carrying
amount

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 20


Disposals . . .
• Four steps to follow when accounting for
disposal of property, plant and equipment
– cost eliminated as an asset
– accumulated depreciation eliminated as a
contra-asset
– proceeds on disposal recorded
– profit or loss recorded

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 21


Impairment of assets
• IAS 36, ‘Impairment of assets’
• Objective of IAS 36 is to ensure that an
entity’s assets are not overstated
• If carrying amount > recoverable amount,
– carrying amount will not be recovered
– asset is impaired, and an impairment loss must
be recognised
• Impairment loss = CA - RA

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 22


Impairment of assets . . .
• Recoverable amount is greater of
– Fair value less costs of disposal
– Value in use
• Fair value less costs of disposal
– Amount obtainable from sale of asset in arms length transaction less
costs of disposal
• Value in use
– PV of estimated cash flows from continuing use of asset and from
disposal

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 23


Impairment of assets . . .
• Entity assesses external and internal
factors that may indicate impairment
• Accounting treatment
– Dr Impairment expense
Cr Accumulated impairment
– Cost model
• Cost

Accumulated impairment
© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 24
Measurement after recognition
• Initially measured at cost
• IAS 16 provides two possible
measurement treatments
– Cost model
– Revaluation model
• Entity can choose either
model but must then apply
that model to an entire class
of assets

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 25


Cost model

• Property, plant and equipment is carried


at
– Cost
less
– Accumulated depreciation

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 26


Revaluation model
• Property, plant and equipment is carried at
revalued amount (Fair value at revaluation
date - subsequent accumulated depreciation –
subsequent accumulated impairment losses)
• Fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset in an orderly transaction
between market participants at measurement
date
• Revaluation increase is credited directly to
equity in a revaluation surplus account

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 27


Accounting for a revaluation
• Non-depreciable asset
– Dr Asset
Cr Revaluation surplus (OE)
• Depreciable asset
– Reverse accumulated depreciation against cost
• Dr Accumulated depreciation (-A)
Cr Asset
– Restate asset to revalued amount and credit

Revaluation increases and decreases
• Property, plant and equipment measured on
the revaluation model need to be revalued on
a regular basis
• Revaluation can result in an increase or a
decrease

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 30


Revaluation increases and decreases . . .

• If cost model is used, there can be no


revaluation increase or decrease
• Revaluation increases or decreases are only
recognized when using the revaluation model

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 31


Revaluation decrease compared to
impairment

• Revaluation decrease is not the same as an


impairment
• Entity must first revalue asset in terms of
IAS16 before testing for impairment in terms
of IAS 36

© Juta and Company, 2019 Property, Plant and Equipment 6e 32


Accounting for revaluation increases and
decreases
• If carrying amount increases
– Recognised in OCI as increase in revaluation
surplus, or
– Recognised in P/L as revaluation income (if
reversing a previous revaluation decrease)
• If carrying amount decreases
– Recognised in OCI as decrease in revaluation
surplus, then
– Recognised in P/L as revaluation expense (after
any revaluation surplus is reduced to nil

• Introduction
• Types of companies
• Characteristics of a company
• Listing of a public company
• Sources of finance for a company
• Formation of a company and share issues
• Debenture issues
• Producing financial information for a company
© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 2
Introduction
• In South Africa, companies are regulated by
– the Companies Act 71 of 2008, (the Companies Act)
– the Companies Amendment Act 3 of 2011 (the
Amendment Act)
• A key document required by the Companies Act
for all companies is a memorandum of
incorporation (MOI)
– It is a set of rights, duties and responsibilities of
shareholders, directors and others within and in
relation to a company
– Its purpose is to protect the interests of shareholders

© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 3


Types of companies
• Profit companies
– Private company
– Public company
– State-owned company
– Personal liability company
• Non-profit companies
– Formed for a cultural or social activity or for a
communal interest, eg a private school

© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 4


Characteristics of a company
• A company is a legal entity distinct from its
owners, known as shareholders
• Owners and management likely to be a
separate group of persons
– board of directors control company
– individual shareholders cannot bind company

© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 5


Characteristics of a company . . .
• Consequences of separate legal entity status
– limitation of liability
– indefinite life
• Companies Act requirements for an audit
– Required only for public companies
– Private companies, often SMEs, are subject to
audit only if regarded as being in the public
interest
• As alternative to an audit, Companies Act
provides for an independent review for
companies with a low public interest score

© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 6


Listing of a public company
• A public company can be listed on a stock
exchange such as the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange (JSE) or London Stock Exchange
(LSE) and is known as a listed public company
• Not all public companies are listed, and are
known as unlisted public companies

© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 7


Sources of finance for a company

• Company financed from two


sources
– investors funds, known as
share capital
– borrowed funds, in form of
• loans
• debentures

© Juta and Company, 2019 Companies 6e 8


Share capital
• A share is an equity instrument
• The classes of shares are set out in the MOI
– Ordinary shares

• Characteristics of a partnership
• Sources of finance for a partnership
• Formation of a partnership
• Producing information for a partnership
• Admission of a partner
• Partnership dissolution

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 2


Characteristics of a partnership
• Generally used for small businesses to
combine financial capital and managerial
talent
• Between 2 - 20 persons, except for organised
professions
• The partnership is not a separate legal entity
apart from its members
• Individual partners are joint owners of the
assets and jointly and severally liable for the
liabilities
© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 3
Sources of finance for a partnership
• Financed from two sources
– Investors funds, in the form of
contributions by partners to
equity
– Borrowed funds, a liability of the
partnership
• loans from financial
institutions or private
individuals
• loans from a partner, not part
of capital contribution

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 4


Distinction between capital
contribution and retained profit
• The capital contribution is the long-term or
relatively permanent contribution by the
owner
• The retained profit is the cumulative
excess of profit over distributions
• To distinguish the above,
– capital a/c reflects fixed capital contribution
– current a/c records allocations of profit to
partners and distributions to them

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 5


Equity of a partnership
• Equity of a partnership comprises
– Capital accounts
– Current accounts
• Combined balance represents the
interest of each partner in the net
assets

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 6


Formation of a partnership
• Partners contribute cash or
other assets
• Fair value to be placed on
non-cash assets
– FV is price that would be
received from selling an asset
in an orderly transaction
between independent buyers
and sellers

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 7


Producing information for a
partnership
• Accounting is an information system that
– selects data
– processes that data
– produces information
• Selection and processing of data identical for
all entity forms
• Procedure to produce information differs for
all entity forms

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 8


Determination of profit

• Profit computed according to accrual


basis of accounting
• Procedural aspects of recording
transactions in a journal, posting to a
ledger and preparing a trial balance are
same as for a sole trader

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 9


Appropriation of profit
• Appropriation of profit is an accounting
procedure which allocates the profit earned to
each partner taking into account salaries and
interest on capital

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 10

the financial statements are prepared
• Statement of profit or loss presented in same
format as for a sole proprietor
• Statement of financial position discloses
details of capital and current accounts for
each partner
• Statement of changes in equity expanded to
include
– Columns for capital and current accounts
– Column for appropriation
© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 16
Closing entries for a partnership
• Profit from P & L a/c is transferred to an
appropriation a/c

• Closing entries required to transfer interest on


capital, partners’ salaries and interest on drawings to
appropriation a/c

17
© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 17
Closing entries for a partnership . . .
• The balance in the appropriation a/c is the amount
available to allocate to the partners in their profit sharing
ratio.

• Final closing entry is to transfer the drawings a/c balances


to the partners’ current a/c’s

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 18


Admission of a partner

• Procedure on admission
– Adjustment to the profit-sharing
ratio
– Restating the assets and liabilities
of the partnership to fair value
– Accounting for goodwill
– Recording the new partner’s
contribution

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 19


Adjustment to profit-sharing ratio
• Possible agreements
– New partner’s share relinquished by existing
partners according to existing ratio
– New partner’s share relinquished by existing
partners equally
– New partner’s share relinquished by existing
partners according to agreed ratio

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 20


Restating assets and liabilities to fair
value
• Important to determine the fair value of the
partnership equity at the date of admission of
a new partner
• A change in the members of a partnership
ends the existing partnership and a new
partnership comes into existence
• Practically, the records of the existing
partnership are used with adjustments made
to the equity of the existing partners to reflect
fair value
© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 21
Restating assets and liabilities to fair
value . . .
• IAS 1 requires statement of changes in
equity to present changes in equity
separated into
– Owner changes in equity
• Contributions and distributions
– Non-owner changes in equity
• Profit or loss for the period
• The restating of assets and liabilities to fair
value represents an owner change in equity

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 22


Restating assets and liabilities to fair
value . . .
• Restating assets to fair value on admission of a
partner represents an owner change in equity
– Will not appear on statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income
– Will appear on the statement of changes in equity
as an adjustment to the partner’s capital accounts
• A revaluation account is used
– Balance on revaluation account represents gain or
loss
– Allocated to existing partners in existing profit-
sharing ratio

represents the gain / loss resulting from the
change in the net assets of the partnership
• Allocated to existing partners in existing ratio

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 26


Identification of goodwill
• Nature of goodwill
– Value of business as a whole could be greater than
the sum of the individual net assets
– Excess of value of business over fair value of
identifiable net assets represents goodwill
– It is an intangible asset

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 27


Internally generated goodwill and
purchased goodwill
• Internally generated goodwill
– not recognised as an asset
• not an identifiable resource
• cost cannot be measured reliably
• Purchased goodwill
– valued based on arms length
transaction
– represents a payment made by the
acquirer in anticipation of future
economic benefits

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 28


Accounting for goodwill

• Two possible accounting treatments for


goodwill
• Raise goodwill as an asset and report it on the
SOFP
• Not to raise goodwill as an asset and exclude
from the SOFP

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 29

partners in the existing profit-sharing ratio

• IFRS for SMEs permits the amortisation of


goodwill
• Over their useful lives, or
• Over an assumed period of 10 years

© Juta and Company, 2019 Partnerships 6e 30


Goodwill not raised as an asset

Objectives of financial analysis
• Users need to evaluate
– financial position
– results of operations
• Analysis used to predict future events, based on
– past performance
– financial position at a particular time
• Different users have different needs for information
– investors
– lenders

Tools of financial statement
analysis

• Ratio analysis is a widely used tool for


analysing financial statements
• Other tools include
– Common-size financial statements
– Comparative statements

© Juta and Company, 2019 Analysis of Financial Statements 6e 5


Common-size financial statements
• Prepared using percentages for each item
instead of the actual amounts
– For the statement of profit or loss, sales are
shown as 100%, with other items shown as a
percentage of sales
– For the statement of financial position
• Totals of both ‘assets’ and ‘equity & liabilities’
sections are shown as 100%
• Individual items shown as a percentage of
these totals

© Juta and Company, 2019 Analysis of Financial Statements 6e 6


Comparative statements
• Financial statements are shown side by side,
highlighting changes in individual items from year to
year
Current year amount – prior year amount x 100
Prior year amount 1

• Usefulness limited
– meaningful percentages cannot be computed when
• movement from + to - or from - to +
• prior year amount was zero
– If an item had a value in prior year and is zero in current
year, decrease is 100%

Ratio analysis
• Ratios are used to
– summarise financial data
– monitor trends in
performance and

Test 2 September 2021 Question 1 30 marks (45 minutes)

NYX Chemicals (hereafter referred to as ‘NYX’) was started by Joan Moloi and
specializes in the manufacturing of hygienic consumable products such as cleaning
detergents and hand sanitizers. The accountant of NYX has recently resigned and
Joan is clueless when it comes to accounting and finances. Joan approached you for
assistance with some outstanding matters related to the financial year ended 31
August 2021 presented below:

1. Bank balance does not balance?


The accountant prepared the bank reconciliation for the month ended 31 August
2021 presented below. NYX’s policy when preparing bank reconciliations, is to
present any unfavourable balances as a negative amount (in brackets) in the bank
reconciliation. Joan is confused as to why the bank balance in the accounting
records, even after processing the necessary adjustments, are not the same as the
balance as per the bank statement and she is sure that the accountant or the bank
must have done something wrong.

NYX Chemicals
BANK RECONCILIATION AT 31 AUGUST 2021
Notes R
Balance as per bank statement (favourable) 1.1 205 000
Payment to creditor overstated in error by NYX 1.2 18 000
Error made by bank (account incorrectly credited) 1.3 20 000
Deposit not yet processed by bank 1.4 (250 000)
Cheques not yet processed by bank: 1.5
• Cheque nr 4566 (10 000)
• Cheque nr 5681 (17 800)
Unreconcilable difference? 1.6 42 000
Balance as per general ledger (after 1.7 7 200
adjustments)

Notes made by accountant

Page 30 of 37
1.1. The bank statement reflected an overdraft balance of R205 000 on 31
August 2021.
1.2. On comparison to the bank statement it was discovered that a payment
of R46 000 made to a creditor on 12 August 2021 has been recorded as
R64 000 in the cash payments journal. The amount was correctly reflected in
the bank statement.
1.3. The bank credited NYX’s account with R20 000 in error.
1.4. A payment of R250 000 received from a debtor on 31 August 2021 and
included in the cash receipts journal was not yet reflected in the August bank
statement.
1.5. Cheque 4566 relates to a reconciling item in the July 2021 bank
reconciliation and represents a payment made to a creditor on 2 July 2021.
The cheque has still not been processed by the bank and has since gone stale.
Cheque 5681 relates to a payment made to a creditor on 31 August 2021 that
was cleared by the bank but was not yet reflected in the August bank
statement.
1.6. Unreconcilable difference – all reconciling items have been accounted
for, not sure what this unreconcilable difference is. The next accountant should
please investigate this difference.
1.7. The balance as per the general ledger is a debit closing balance. This is
the balance after all necessary adjustments have been processed in NYX’s
accounting records.

2. Account with HZO (Pty) Ltd


NYX has an account with HZO (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as ‘HZO’) which
supplies them with the main chemicals used in manufacturing hand sanitizer. HZO
allows NYX a 10% trade discount on all transactions and a 5% settlement discount
if payment is made within 10 days of the statement date. NYX received a statement
dated 31 August 2021 from HZO which reflected an amount payable of R72 800.
On comparing the statement with the ledger account of NYX, the following
discrepancies were noted:
• NYX returned goods (invoice 7612) with an invoice value of R12 000
(gross value) to HZO on 27 August 2021, which was processed in NYX’s

Page 31 of 37
accounting records on that same date. The credit note for these returned
goods were only received from HZO on 8 September 2021.
• Invoice 7823 for a gross amount of R8 100 was included at that price on
the statement without the trade discount incorporated.

NYX is planning on making the payment regarding the balance outstanding for
August 2021 on Monday 6 September 2021 and has historically always settled the
outstanding balance within 10 days of the statement date.

3. Non-current assets
NYX has a variety of non-current assets that are used in the manufacturing of
inventory and for administrative purposes. All items are subsequently measured in
accordance with the cost model and consists of the following items:

Land and buildings


NYX acquired the premises in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, where the
administrative head office and manufacturing plant are situated, on 1 September
2019 for R20 000 000. 20% of this value can be allocated to the land. It is the policy
of NYX to depreciate buildings on the diminishing value method at a rate of 5%.

Machinery
Machinery consists of the machine that is used to manufacture all of the hygienic
consumable products. The carrying amount of the machine was correctly
determined as R908 000 on 31 August 2021 (after correctly accounting for 2021’s
depreciation). The machine had a remaining useful life of 4 years on this date before
taking the following information into account:
• At year-end the machine was damaged due to an abnormal electric
surge. Management would like to continue using the machine but is also
considering obtaining a new machine. Management estimated that it will be
able to dispose of the damaged machine for R650 000. Costs of R40 000
will have to be incurred in moving this machine from NYX’s premises. It is
estimated that the machine will be able to generate a net cash inflow of

Page 32 of 37
R220 000 per year for the remainder of its useful life and can be disposed of
for R100 000 at the end of its useful life.

Vehicles
Vehicles consists of a delivery truck and a business vehicle and are depreciated
using the straight-line method over 5 years:
• The delivery truck was purchased on 1 June 2019 for R800 000. The
residual value was estimated as R150 000. The delivery truck was disposed
of on 1 July 2021 for R550 000 as NYX decided to rather outsource the
delivery of inventory for economic reasons.
• The business vehicle was bought for R315 000 cash. The business
vehicle is mainly used to assist with transporting some of the workers
between the factory and public transport stations. The vehicle was imported
and import duties amounted to R15 000. Transport costs of R7 000 was
incurred in getting the vehicle to NYX’s premises. Management also paid
R2 000 towards registering the vehicle in NYX’s name. The vehicle was
delivered to NYX’s premises on
1 March 2021 and was available for use from this date going forward.
Management however decided that the vehicle must first be branded with
NYX’s logo for marketing purposes before it will be used. The branding of
the vehicle was finished on 1 April 2021 at a cost of R20 000. The vehicle
was used for the transport of workers from this date going forward.

UVD robot
Management is considering purchasing the UVD robot in light of Covid-19. The UVD
robot retails at a price of R1 200 000. This robot uses UV light to disinfect the
surrounding environment it is placed in. During the 3rd wave of Covid-19 infections,
NYX has been hard hit by many employees being infected and operations being
impacted. Thus management hopes that the UVD robot will assist in managing
infections and outbreaks. The robot can be used for 15 years.

Deja Brew is a very popular coffee shop in Braamfontein Johannesburg. It was established
as a sole proprietorship by Joseph Ndlovu on 1 July 2018 with a 30 June financial year end.

Espresso machines
Joseph purchased two commercial espresso machines on 1 July 2018 at a cost of R76 500
each. It is estimated that each machine will be used to produce 440 000 espressos over an
estimated period of 10 years. The residual value of each machine was estimated at
R25 000.
• Joseph realised that only one machine is needed and sold espresso machine 1 for
R58 000 on 1 April 2022.
• Espresso machine 2 was serviced at R5 500 on 1 January 2022 which was paid for
in cash. These machines must be routinely serviced every 3 to 4 years to keep it
operating efficiently. During the 2022 financial year Joseph re-estimated that
espresso machine 2 will be used to manufacture 550 000 espressos in total over a
total estimated period of 12 years and the new residual value is Rnil.

The total number of espressos produced by each machine over the years whilst in use by
Deja Brew are:

Financial years Espresso machine 1 Espresso machine 2


1 July 2018 – 30 June 2021 112 000 90 000
1 July 2021 – 30 June 2022 22 000 46 000

Premises of Deja Brew


Joseph decided to purchase the property where the coffee shop is located for
R2 000 000 on 1 January 2019 (10% of the purchase price can be allocated to the value of
the land). Joseph estimated that the building will be used as the location of Deja Brew for
the next 40 years with a residual value of Rnil.

On 1 June 2021 Joseph contracted a famous street artist to paint a flower mural on the
outside wall of the building. The aim behind the mural is to attract people to Deja Brew to
take selfies in front of it, post it on social media platforms and visit Deja Brew.
The mural was completed on 1 July 2021 at a cost of R150 000. Joseph expects to keep
the mural on the wall until the end of the building’s useful life.

Additional Information

For the company to enter the export market additional funding will be required for it to be
competitive and effective to supply the demand overseas. The board of directors have
decided to source funding from the general public by issue of shares.

The following transactions, related to the issue of shares, occurred during the current
financial year ended 30 June 2022:

1. On 1 September 2021, an additional 100 000 Class A shares were offered to the
general public, through a prospectus, at the market price of R6 per share. The shares
were over-subscribed by 15% and the cash together with the application forms were
received by the business and banked by 15 September 2021. The unsuccessful
applicants were refunded their money on 22 September 2021 and the allotment of
shares was finalised for the successful applicants by 30 September 2021.

2. On 1 December 2021, an additional 50 000 Class B shares were offered to the


general public, through a prospectus, at the market price of R20 per share. The
prospectus specifically stated that a minimum of 10 000 shares needed to be taken
up by the public, failing which no shares would be issued and any monies received
would be refunded. The subscription was under-subscribed as only 7 500 shares
were applied for by the public. The money for these shares was banked by 15
December 2021. As the terms of the issue, as stated in the prospectus, had not been
met the applicants were refunded their money on 22 December 2021.

3. A capitalisation issue was undertaken by Best Pipes on 1 June 2022. Under the
capitalisation issue existing Class A shareholders would receive one share for every
two shares held. The capitalisation was at R10 per share.

4. In order to attract further capital from small investors, 100 000 Class C shares, of R1
each, were offered to the general public on 1 March 2022. The directors were unsure
if all the shares would be taken up and did not want to risk an under-subscription.
Best Pipes Limited entered into a contract with Ensure Bank to underwrite the

Page 3 of 6 ACCN1005A/ACCN1006A Test 2 September 2022

issued for their services. Applications, together with the money, were received for
85 000 shares by 15 March 2022. The bank took up the balance of Class C shares
and paid their portion on 20 March 2022. Best Pipes Limited immediately paid Ensure
bank the commission due. The allotment of the Class C shares was finalised on 28
March 2022.

‘Wrogue Style Casual Sneakers’ is a business started by Lesego in 2021, during the Covid-
19 pandemic, in an outside room at her parents’ house. Lesego sells casual sneakers
(shoes) that are manufactured in Copenhagen, Denmark. Sneakers is a new trend among
teenagers and young adults in South Africa. Lesego’s grandmother is situated in Denmark
and bought a pair of sneakers when she visited in 2019 and thought it would be a good
opportunity to sell to teenagers and young adults. Lesego is also the chairperson of the SA
Youth League and will use this contact to sell the casual sneakers.

She appointed an assistant on 1 November 2021 to assist her with general office work,
modifying stock and unpacking shoes on the shelves. Each pair is packed in a box.

QUESTION 1 c)
Discussion question on recognition of subsequent costs incurred related to PPE item and measurement thereof

The mural is a subsequent expenditure incurred related to the building as it occurred after the initial recognition of the building on January 2019. 1
The mural is inseperable from the building and in order for it to be recognised as part of the building, it should meet the recognition criteria of PPE. 1
The recognition criteria for PPE are: (mark for definition)
It is probable that future economic benfits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and 1
the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
It is probable that the mural will attract more people to Deja Brew in the form of people wanting to take pictures in front of it and sharing and posting it on social media
0,5
platforms,
thereby attracting more prospective customers which will increase future economic benefits in the form of sales. 0,5
The cost of the mural reliably measured at R150 000. 1

Conclusion - initial measurement: the cost of the mural can be classified as PPE and R150 000 should be recognised as part of the cost of the building on 1 July 2021. 1

In terms of subsequent measurement, the mural should be depreciated using the straight-line method over the remainder of the building's useful life. 1

The depreciation that should be recognised for the 2022 financial year is: 4 000 (R150 000/37,5 years) 1

Additional information:

The accountant however resigned unexpectedly and was not able to finalise all accounting
entries before his resignation. The below items have not yet been incorporated in the draft
trial balance above:

1. Grasse purchased a fleet of 10 delivery vehicles which was delivered to Grasse’s


premises on 1 September 2022. Due to cash flow constraints, Grasse financed the
purchase price and delivery costs of the fleet via Capital Bank. The loan for the fleet is
to be repaid in 24 monthly instalments of R158 574 at the prime interest rate of 7,75%
per annum (compounded monthly). It is estimated that the vehicles will be used for 5
years. The residual value is estimated as R125 000 per vehicle.

2. On 11 September 2022 Grasse made a public offer of 150 000 ordinary shares at R28
per share to raise funds for the future expansion of the entity. Grasse entered into an
underwriting agreement with VC Bank at a commission of 2%. By the closing date of
applications, 26 September 2022, only 90% of the shares were subscribed for by the
public. All shares were allotted on 30 September 2022. Grasse settled their account
with VC Bank at the end of September. There were no other transactions related to
ordinary share capital during the financial year.

3. At the directors meeting that was held on 22 September 2022, the directors decided that
an ordinary dividend will not be declared but only a preference dividend. The preference
shares were issued on 1 April 2022. The preference dividend has not yet been
accounted for in the draft trial balance provided and was unsettled by the end of the
financial year. All preference shareholders are natural South African citizens.

4. The debenture balance relates to 1 000 7% debentures of R150 each that were issued
on 1 October 2021 at a discount of 5%. These debentures are redeemable on
30 September 2026 at a premium of 10%. Interest on the debentures is payable
annually on 30 September. No entry has been processed for any payments or interest
on the debentures for the 2022 financial year.

Please note:
• It is the accounting policy of Grasse to measure all property, plant and equipment
items in accordance with the cost model. Vehicles is depreciated using the straight-
line method.
• It is Grasse’s policy to recognize share transaction costs against share capital.
• Assume a company tax rate of 28% and a dividends tax rate of 20%.
