14                                        ACCOUNTING                                (SEPTEMBER 2012)

C       When comparing the Creditors Ledger account against the statement received,
        the following were noted:

        1.     The statement did not take into account the 5% trade discount on goods
               purchased on 8th.

        2.     The discount for early settlement of account on the 15 th was also omitted
               on the statement.

        3.     The statement reflected the correct amount for the purchases of stock on
               the 20th.

        4.     The entry on the 22nd was for goods purchased from Khaya Stores, and
               not from Kay Lee Stores.

        5.     Debit Note for returns to Kay Lee Stores, R370, was posted to the wrong
               side of the ledger account.

        6.     The credit note on the 22nd is an error on the statement.

5.2 Debtors
    You are provided with the Debtors Control Account, as it appeared in the books
    of JP Stores, together with the posting errors and omissions noted.

INSTRUCTIONS:

5.2.1        Draw up a corrected Debtors Ledger account.
             Adjust the appropriate journal totals with the corrections, and show the
             changes in brackets, to receive part marks.                                       (14)

5.2.2        The credit controller realised that debtors’ allowance is high.
                   What can the business do to reduce this balance? (Two points)                (4)

5.2.3        Debtor B. Brom was charged interest on his overdue account of R3 450 at
             12% p.a, for three months. He argued that this penalty was unfair because
             his most recent purchase of R1 250 was made in this month.
                   Explain why you agree with him.                                              (3)

5.2.4        The business uses the invoice method to determine its VAT liability.
                   Briefly describe this method.                                                (3)
                   Due to the cash flow problems experienced by the business, the
                   owner decided to inflate the VAT Input amount on the VAT return form
                   by R7 500. What implications would this have on the business and
                   the owner?                                                                   (4)

                                                                                                       40

STOCK VALUATION AND ASSET MANAGEMENT                                    (35 marks ; 21 minutes)

6.1 INVENTORY VALUATION

Perkin Stores sells LCD flat screen television sets to the public. Their financial year
ends on 29 February 2012. The cost price of the product they sell has changed
significantly due to newer, later models being introduced into the market. Barry
Perkin, the owner, feels comfortable selling the same old model.

INSTRUCTIONS:
6.1.1 Perkin Stores uses the weighted average method to value their stock.
      Calculate the closing stock balance, using the above method.                            (4)
6.1.2 Calculate the gross profit on TV sets sold for the year based on the weighted
      average method.                                                                         (3)
6.1.3 Perkin is considering a change to the FIFO method to value his stock.
      Calculate the gross profit using this method.                                           (4)
6.1.4 In your opinion, which is the more appropriate method to use?
      Explain a reason for your answer.                                                       (3)
6.1.5 Although Perkin is contended to sell the same brand TV sets, he did notice the
      significant difference between the number of units he had at the beginning of
      the year, and his closing balance.
      Explain why he should be concerned about this trend, and provide TWO
      suggestions on how he can remedy this situation.                                        (6)
