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.

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.

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.
