(b) It is important to distinguish between capital and revenue expenditure
because incorrect treatment of expenditure would result in profits being
affected and the balance sheet position becoming distorted.
If capital expenditure is incorrectly treated as revenue expenditure then
the net profit will be understated and the assets in the balance sheet
undervalued. If revenue expenditure is incorrectly treated as capital
expenditure then the net profit would be overstated and the balance sheet
position would be overvalued.

Chapter 13: Bank reconciliation statements
Note: Both in theory and in practice you can start with the cash book balance working
to the bank statement balance, or you can reverse this method. Many teachers and
lecturers have their preferences, but this is a personal matter only. Examiners sometimes
ask for them using one way, sometimes the other. Students should therefore be able to
tackle them both ways.

(b) Ravi believes there may be errors in his sales ledger because the sales ledger shows
£78.540 total debtors at the end of December 2009. Having constructed the control
account the total debtors outstanding amounts to £71,380. Therefore there is a
discrepancy of £78,540 £71,380 £7,160 which will require investigation.
(c) The closing balance of the sales ledger control account would appear under current
assets in the balance sheet.

(ii) It is important to apply the consistency concept so that comparisons can be
made between different years. Therefore in the above example depreciation is
changed at 10% using the straight line method, the company needs to be
consistent in using this method and the rate of depreciation in future final
accounts.
In applying the accruals concept the benefit that a fixed asset provides over its
useful life is matched with the depreciation for the same period.

(c) The prudence concept requires that the financial statements provide a ‘true and fair’
view of the business at the date of the balance sheet. In addition profits should also
reveal a correct and true figure. Therefore any anticipated losses need to be
accounted for in the profit and loss account. Providing for a ‘provision for doubtful
debts’ anticipates any potential loss should a debtor fail to pay. By deducting the
provision from the debtors in the balance sheet a more accurate figure of debtors is
given.

According to the records only £600 has been paid, therefore the difference
between the amount due and paid (£700 2 £600 5 £100. £100 needs to be
accrued. The whole of the interest i.e. £700 is charged to the profit and loss
account. The interest owing £100 is shown as a current liability so giving a true
balance sheet. Without the adjustment the profit would be inaccurate.

Chapter 24: Accounting for non-profit
making organisations
24.1
(a) A receipts and payments account is a summary of the cash book that shows
the sources and uses of money for a non-profit making organisation.
An income and expenditure account is the same as a business's proft and loss
account. However, any surplus is not classed as profit but is called 'surplus of
income over expenditure' any loss incurred is stated as 'excess of expenditure
over income'.
Chapter 24: Accounting for non-profit making organisations
(b) Capital - is the total resources invested in a business by the owner(s) and is
represented by assets - liabilities. Accumulated fund - this is in effect the
same as the capital account in that it is the difference between an
organisation's assets and liabilities.
(c) Profit is the difference between the selling price of goods and their cost less any
expenses incurred in running the business. A surplus of income over expenditure
is the equivalent of a business's profit for a non-profit making organisation.

Year Ended 31 December 2010
Chapter 24: Accounting for non-profit making organisations
24.6X (a) Accumulated fund – this is a form of capital account for a non-profit making
organisation and represents the net worth of club. It can be found by
deducting liabilities from the assets.
A surplus is the amount that income exceeds expenditure and is the same as
the profit made by a business.
(b) In the balance sheet subscriptions in arrears would appear under Current
Assets and rent of cricket pitch accrued under Current Liabilities.
(c) (i) Receipts and payments account – is a summary of the cash book for a
club or society and details all cash received and payments made.
(ii) Current Assets.
(iii) Payment for the purchase of a fixed asset.
(iv) Depreciation of a fixed asset.
(d) Since the donation is a substantial amount it would be added to the
accumulated fund in the balance sheet. The reason for this is that the
donation is not a regular income but a one off receipt and as such should
not be shown on the income expenditure account.

Reasons include:
• M Ltd's current ratio is higher. This indicates that M Ltd is in a better liquidity
position.
• N Ltd’s stock turnover is higher than that of M Ltd. This shows that N Ltd manages
its sales performance more effectively.
• The gross profit percentage of N Ltd is 5% higher than that of M Ltd. This is due to
better purchasing and selling prices. Net profit margins differ by a smaller margin
of 2% suggesting, that M Ltd has tighter control of its overhead expenses when
compared with its sales volume (8% compared with 11%)

Profitability
Both businesses are making good net profits, Cruise £150,000 and Holmes
£160,000. However, both the gross profit percentage and net profit percentage
for Cruise is better than Holmes, with the net profit percentage being 8.33% for
Cruise against Holmes 6.67%. This could be due to Cruise selling goods at a higher
price and their cost of sales being lower.
Liquidity
The current ratio for both Cruise and Holmes are very similiar with cruise being
slightly higher at 3.18 : 1 against Holmes 3 : 1. If we calculate the acid test, i.e, we
remove stock from the calculation,
Cruise
210 2 111
__________
1.5 : 1
66
Holmes
180 2 120
__________
1:1

then Cruise is in a stronger position since it could raise £1.50 for every £1 owed
compared to Holmes who could raise £1 for every £1 of debt.
Conclusion
Whilst Holmes has a greater turnover than Cruise the company is not as
profitable. In terms of liquidity again Cruise is in a stronger position which may in
part be due to Holmes long term liabilities of £2,070,000.

Overall the profitability of the buisness is improving with the Net Profit % increasing
from 45.71% to 50%. Mark-up has also increased considerably from 161.19% to 215.15%.
However, the stock is taking longer to sell/turnover a decrease from 3.88 to 3 times
a year. This is possibly due to the business stock in hand increasing from £2,900 at the
beginning of the first financial year to £7,000 at the end of February 2010?
