D. TANGIBLE ASSETS
All fixed assets purchased by a business are not intended for resale but to be used in the operation of the
business to assist in generating a profit.
Separate records are kept for every fixed asset purchased in an asset register. Full details of very asset is
recorded on the asset register and the depreciation for the financial year is calculated and recorded in the
asset register and kept up to date at all times.
Fixed assets are depreciated at cost price/ straight line method or at carrying value/ diminishing balance/ or
called book value method.
For internal control purposes, the assets and the registers are regularly monitored.
When the asset is sold the asset register is updated; additional depreciation calculated, to whom it was sold
and closed off as the asset does not belong to the business anymore.
At the end of each financial year all the relevant fixed assets are depreciated. Any depreciation on assets sold
during the year, form part of the depreciation amount disclosed in the Income Statement.
GAAP PRINCIPLES RELATING TO FIXED ASSETS
Historical cost: Fixed assets are recorded at the price the asset was purchased called cost price.
Prudence: Vehicles and equipment are generally reported in a realistic but conservative manner i.e. at their
book/carrying value rather than at historical cost. Land and buildings must be reflected at historical cost
although the market value may be significantly higher.
Matching: Only depreciation on the Asset must be transferred to the Income Statement as an operating
expense to be matched against the income for the year, so that the net profit can be correctly calculated.
Materiality: Depreciation must be disclosed in the Income Statement. The cost price, the accumulated
depreciation and the book/carrying value must be disclosed in the Tangible assets note to the Balance Sheet.
Business Entity: The tangible assets of the business must be recorded and kept separate from the personal
assets of the owner/s and the use of the assets must be controlled for business purposes only.
Going – concern: The cost price of the tangible asset will not be written off as an operating expense in the
year of purchase but will be depreciated over its life span, since it is assumed that the business will continue
to operate for a number years
Consistency: Fixed assets can be depreciated at either straight line (cost price) method or diminishing
balance method. It is advisable to adopt the same rate and method of depreciation over the life span of similar
assets. It is, however, important that the change of method is disclosed.

CASE 2
CASE 3
CASE 4
E. STOCK VALUATION – INVENTORY
A business can decide which of the following two inventory systems to use to record and control their inventory:
SYSTEM IMPORTANT POINTS
Perpetual a) Entries are made in a Balance Sheet account called trading stock (an asset account) every time goods are
bought and sold.
b) Cost of sales needs to be calculated and recorded every time goods are sold.
c) When stock is purchased the trading stock account is debited with the cost price (the asset is increasing).
d) When stock is sold the trading stock account is credited with the cost price (the asset is decreasing).
e) Any additional costs when purchasing stock are debited to the trading stock account (e.g. carriage on
purchases).
f) This system is better for the internal control of inventory
Periodic a) Businesses would decide to use this system when it is not always feasible to calculate cost of sales every time
goods are sold.
b) Stock purchases are recorded in a nominal account called purchases (an expense account).
c) Additional expenses when purchasing stock (e.g. carriage on purchases) are recorded separately in a nominal
account called carriage on purchases (an expenses account).
d) Cost of sales is therefore only calculated periodically by using the formula:
Opening stock + purchases + carriage on purchases + import duties + customs duties – closing stock = cost of
sales.
e) Inventories (trading stock) are goods that are bought in order to be resold at a profit.
f) Stock is always recorded in the books at cost price.
INVENTORY VALUATION METHODS
A business can decide which of the following two stock valuation methods to use in order to value its inventory:
Method IMPORTANT POINTS
FIFO a) FIFO stands for First In First Out.
b) Businesses that sell goods which have a limited shelf life (e.g. milk or cell phones) often prefer to use this
system.
c) This means that the oldest stock is sold first and that the stock left at the end will always be the most recently
bought stock.
d) Under this method the stock on hand will be valued at the most recent prices
Weighted a) Under this system the value of the stock on hand is not calculated on the most recent prices because all prices
average on stock purchased are averaged.
b) Weighted average is calculated by dividing the total cost of stock purchased by the total number of units
purchased.
c) Under this method the stock on hand will not be valued at the most recent prices.

Study the given information of Vincent Manufacturers (VTBM). The business manufactures and sells high quality tennis
accessories to tennis clubs and to schools.
INFORMATION
The owner, Vincent, experienced a slump during the summer months and is contemplating to close down the section of the
manufacturing process of tennis balls due to the low stock turnover and rather to import tennis balls in the future.
During the tennis season extra effort was done by the selling and distribution staff to promote and to advertise the brand of
tennis balls manufactured. Advertising was done at every club and during tennis tournaments. Incentives and prizes were
used as promotions to advertise the Vincent ‟s tennis balls
Vincent received orders from 12 new tennis clubs to supply 5 000 tennis balls per month. More orders are expected from
schools and from the existing clients.
As the accountant of VTBM, Vincent requested you to investigate and complete the relevant statements. The break-even
point for the past two months, July and August has to be completed as well. The outcome thereof is imperative for Vincent to
know before decisions are finalised.
REQUIRED
Study the information given above and complete the following:
1. Complete the incomplete Production Cost Statement for the month of July and complete the Production
Statement of August from the given information for August 2015.
2. Draw up the note on Direct Raw Material Cost for the month of August 2015.
3. Calculate the unit cost of each tennis ball in August 2015.
4. Calculate the break-even point in August 2015.
5 Vincent, the owner of VTBM, feels positive about the orders that came in after the advertising campaign and the
number of stock sold that increased from July to August 2015. Vincent wants to purchase a delivery van to be able
to handle the increase of orders. He requested you to investigate to see if the buying of a delivery van is liable for
the business.. Take into account the calculated break-even point
Make use of the information and use figures (financial indicators) to substantiate your answer.
6 Name FOUR items that could possibly be included in factory overheads costs.
7 On investigation, Vincent has discovered that the sales figure for the month of August 2015, R44 500, was actually
R3 000 less than what was expected considering that
5 000 tennis balls were manufactured.
7.1 Give ONE possible reason for the discrepancy between the numbers sold.
7.2 Discuss ONE measure that the owner could take to prevent this situation in the future.
8. Vincent plans to substitute the material with an inexpensive material. The use of this inexpensive material will
decrease his production cost by at least 25%. He does not plan to inform his clients or to reduce his selling price.
Comment on his plans with specific reference to:
8.1 The ethics of his decision.
8.2 The possible influence of his decisions on the profitability of the business.

H. VAT (Value added Tax)
Definition: VAT is the tax charged on goods and a service supplied and is charged at the current rate (standard rate) of
14%. VAT is an important of the income generated by the government to cover government expenditure.
Who has to register as a VAT vendor
A person or business that supplies goods and services with a turnover of more than R1- million must register as a
vendor (trader), this is compulsory registration whereas a business with a turnover less than R1- million can register if
they want to, this is a voluntary registration.
The benefits of registering as a VAT vendor
The business is able to claim back the amount on VAT paid on goods and services bought (VAT input)
Types of VAT
VAT input: is the VAT paid by a business on the purchases of goods and services (which can be claimed back from
SARS)
VAT output: Is the VAT collected by the business on the sale of all goods and services (which needs to be paid over to
SARS)
Items on which VAT is not charged
Zero- rated items: they are charged at 0% VAT, but this can be changed by the government (Finance minister) at any
time. Examples are fresh fruit and vegetables, brown bread, maize, milk, rice and cooking oil.
VAT- exempt items: Items on which no VAT is charged. Examples are interest rate, export services, educational
services and childcare services)
VAT calculation
VAT output – VAT input = amount payable to SARS (when amount in VAT output is bigger than amount in VAT input)
When VAT input is bigger than VAT output = amount receivable from SARS
VAT inclusive: When VAT is included in an amount, the calculation will be the amount X 14/114
VAT exclusive: When VAT is excluded in an amount, the calculation will be the amount X14/100

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
Furniture retailers fear that National Credit Act will restrict business
In June 2007, the government introduced a new law, the National Credit Act (NCA), which stipulates strict requirements before
granting credit to any customer.
Legal expert Neil Nene said, `The NCA was designed to save consumers from themselves. Before the implementation of the NCA,
many businesses could do exactly what they wanted to. They were actively encouraged encouraging customers to buy on credit in
order to increase the sales volumes of their businesses. Now, they will have to apply responsible measures before allowing customers
to open new accounts. `
In a survey of 20 local furniture retailers, the Daily Views found that 15 retailers were extremely worried about the effect of the NCA on
their businesses. One of these retailers, Steve Smits, said that customers should be trusted to make their own decisions about whether
they can afford to settle their debts, and that the new measures might force some retailers to close down their businesses.

On investigation, it was found that:
A cheque for R3 000 issued by Ace Traders has not yet been recorded in the statement received from Kairo
Suppliers.
The cheque in settlement of the January account was not received by Kairo Suppliers within 7 days; therefore
the discount of R500 recorded by Ace Traders in the Creditors' Ledger must be cancelled.
Returns recorded as R810 in the Creditors' Ledger of Ace Traders were recorded as R900 in the statement
received from Kairo Suppliers. Ace Traders had miscalculated the cost of goods returned.
An invoice received from Kairo Suppliers was correctly recorded as R7 700 by Ace Traders. However, in the
statement received from Kairo Suppliers it was incorrectly recorded as R770.
An invoice for R3 500 received from Kairo Suppliers was incorrectly recorded as a credit note by Ace Traders.
