Income Statement And Sfp
1. **Problem Statement**: Prepare the Income Statement for ABC Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2023 and the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023 using the given trial balance and additional information.
2. **Income Statement Preparation**:
1. Calculate Net Sales:
$$\text{Net Sales} = \text{Sales} - \text{Sales Returns} = 25{,}200 - 400 = 24{,}800$$
2. Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
$$\text{Purchases} = 12{,}200,$$
$$\text{Less Purchases Returns} = 800$$
$$\text{Net Purchases} = 12{,}200 - 800 = 11{,}400$$
$$\text{Add Opening Inventory} = 3{,}000$$
$$\text{Goods available for sale} = 11{,}400 + 3{,}000 = 14{,}400$$
$$\text{Less Closing Inventory} = 3{,}600$$
$$\text{COGS} = 14{,}400 - 3{,}600 = 10{,}800$$
3. Calculate Gross Profit:
$$\text{Gross Profit} = \text{Net Sales} - \text{COGS} = 24{,}800 - 10{,}800 = 14{,}000$$
4. Calculate Operating Expenses:
$$\text{Selling Expenses} = 1{,}400$$
$$\text{Administrative Expenses} = 1{,}400$$
$$\text{Operating Expenses total} = 1{,}400 + 1{,}400 + 1{,}800 (Operating expenses) = 4{,}600$$
5. Calculate Depreciation:
$$\text{Depreciation on Plant} = 10\% \times 10{,}000 = 1{,}000$$
$$\text{Depreciation on Building} = 2\% \times 8{,}000 = 160$$
6. Calculate Bad Debt Provision and Write-off:
$$\text{Bad Debt written off} = 200$$
$$\text{Debtors before provision} = 4{,}000$$
$$\text{Less Bad Debt} = 200$$
$$\text{New Debtors} = 4{,}000 - 200 = 3{,}800$$
$$\text{Provision at 5\%} = 5\% \times 3{,}800 = 190$$
$$\text{Existing provision} = 200$$
$$\text{Change in provision} = 190 - 200 = -10 (a release of 10)$$
7. Calculate Operating Profit:
$$\text{Operating Profit} = \text{Gross Profit} - \text{Operating Expenses} - \text{Depreciation} + \text{Provision Release}$$
$$= 14{,}000 - 4{,}600 - (1{,}000 + 160) + 10 = 14{,}000 - 4{,}600 - 1{,}160 + 10 = 8{,}250$$
8. Calculate Interest on Debentures (10% on 6,000):
$$\text{Interest} = 10\% \times 6{,}000 = 600$$
9. Calculate Profit before Tax:
$$\text{Profit before tax} = 8{,}250 - 600 = 7{,}650$$
10. Deduct Corporation Tax (given Sh. 900,000): Note trial balance in thousands, so tax = 900
$$\text{Profit after tax} = 7{,}650 - 900 = 6{,}750$$
11. Transfer to Reserves and Dividends:
$$\text{General reserve transfer} = 200$$
$$\text{Dividends} = 2 \times 100,000 = 200$$
12. Calculate Retained Earnings:
$$\text{Retained Earnings} = 6{,}750 - 200 - 200 = 6{,}350$$
