Final Accounts
1. **Problem Statement:** Prepare the Income Statement for the year ended 31.12.2019 and the Statement of Financial Position as at 31.12.2019 for a sole trader, incorporating given adjustments.
2. **Key Formulas and Rules:**
- Depreciation = Cost × Rate
- Provision for bad debts = Percentage × Sundry debtors
- Adjust expenses and incomes for accruals and prepayments
- Closing stock affects Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
- Drawings reduce capital
3. **Adjustments:**
- Depreciation on Plant and Machinery = $140,000 \times 10\% = 14,000$
- Depreciation on Fixtures = $25,000 \times 15\% = 3,750$
- New Provision for Bad Debts = $60,000 \times 4\% = 2,400$
- Increase in Provision = $2,400 - 1,800 = 600$
- Prepaid Insurance = 500 (reduce Insurance expense)
- Rates accrued = 400 (add to Rates expense)
- Closing Stock = 60,000
- Goods taken for personal use = 2,000 (deduct from Purchases)
4. **Income Statement Preparation:**
- Sales = 520,000
- Less: Closing Stock = 60,000
- Adjusted Purchases = $280,000 - 2,000 = 278,000$
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock = $50,000 + 278,000 - 60,000 = 268,000$
- Gross Profit = Sales - COGS = $520,000 - 268,000 = 252,000$
- Expenses:
- Salaries & Wages = 35,000
- Discount Allowed = 7,500
- Advertising = 10,400
- Insurance = $3,800 - 500 = 3,300$
- Rates = $5,600 + 400 = 6,000$
- General Expenses = 7,200
- Depreciation (Plant + Fixtures) = $14,000 + 3,750 = 17,750$
- Increase in Provision for Bad Debts = 600
- Total Expenses = $35,000 + 7,500 + 10,400 + 3,300 + 6,000 + 7,200 + 17,750 + 600 = 87,750$
- Other Income:
- Discount Received = 5,500
- Net Profit = Gross Profit - Expenses + Other Income = $252,000 - 87,750 + 5,500 = 169,750$
5. **Statement of Financial Position Preparation:**
- Assets:
- Freehold Premises = 240,000
- Plant and Machinery (Net) = $140,000 - 14,000 = 126,000$
- Fixtures and Fittings (Net) = $25,000 - 3,750 = 21,250$
- Sundry Debtors = 60,000
- Less: Provision for Bad Debts = 2,400
- Net Debtors = $60,000 - 2,400 = 57,600$
- Bills Receivable = 30,000
- Closing Stock = 60,000
- Cash in Hand = 2,400
- Liabilities:
- Bills Payable = 15,000
- Sundry Creditors = 43,000
- Bank Overdraft = 17,600
- Accrued Rates = 400
- Capital:
- Opening Capital = 300,000
- Add: Net Profit = 169,750
- Less: Drawings = 6,000
- Less: Goods taken for personal use = 2,000
- Closing Capital = $300,000 + 169,750 - 6,000 - 2,000 = 461,750$
- Check: Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Capital
- Total Assets = $240,000 + 126,000 + 21,250 + 57,600 + 30,000 + 60,000 + 2,400 = 537,250$
- Total Liabilities + Capital = $15,000 + 43,000 + 17,600 + 400 + 461,750 = 537,750$
- Difference of 500 due to prepaid insurance (asset), adjust assets to $537,250 + 500 = 537,750$
**Final Answers:**
**Income Statement:**
- Net Profit = 169,750
**Statement of Financial Position:**
- Total Assets = 537,750
- Total Liabilities + Capital = 537,750
