         appear in the cash journals for December:
          The deposit of R5 400
          Cheques no. 614 and no. 616

5.       Cheque no. 402 must be cancelled as it is outdated. It was originally issued to
         the local SPCA as a donation.

6.       An investigation revealed that the deposit of R20 000, dated 28 June 2012,
         was never deposited at the bank. The money has gone missing and it was
         decided to write off this amount.

7.       The following items appear only on the Bank Statement for December 2012:
          Bank charges, R150
          Interest on bank overdraft, R90
          Dishonoured cheque of R250, previously received from a debtor in
            settlement of his account of R280
          Direct deposit by the tenant, R5 500
          Debit order for insurance, R630

8.       Cheque no. 653, issued on 10 December 2012 for R696, is incorrectly
         reflected in the Cash Payments Journal as R969. The Bank Statement is
         correct.

9.       Cheque no. 1446 for R300 appears on the Bank Statement only. On
         investigation it was discovered that this was a cheque the owner issued from
         his private cheque account. The bank will correct this entry during
         January 2013.

10.      During December a cheque was received from a debtor for R800. This was
         dated 30 April 2013 and was not entered in the Cash Receipts Journal or the
         Bank Statement.

11.      The following items appear in the December cash journals but not on the Bank
         Statement:
          A deposit of R13 500, dated 30 December 2012
          Cheque no. 660, R750, dated 13 December 2012
          Cheque no. 680, R5 600, dated 23 December 2012

                                                                                  35

2.       ADJUSTMENTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

         A.     Depreciation on vehicles is calculated at 30% p.a. on the diminishing-
                balance method. Take into account that a new vehicle with a cost price
                of R133 000 was bought on 1 November 2012 and was correctly
                recorded.

         B.     The Trial Balance reflects a figure of R3 100 in respect of equipment
                sold. This relates to a computer which was sold for R3 100 cash on
                31 October 2012. No other entries in respect of this sale have been
                made. The cost price of the computer was R6 000 and the book value
                at the date of sale was R2 700.

                Depreciation on equipment is calculated to be R35 040 after taking all of
                the above into account.

         C.     Interest is capitalised on the mortgage loan. The annual loan statement
                from Pride Bank reflected the following:
                                                PRIDE BANK
                             LOAN STATEMENT ON 28 FEBRUARY 2012
                 Balance on 1 March 2012                                       304 000
                 Interest capitalised for the year                                   ?
                 Repayments, including interest (R6 500 x 12)                   78 000
                 Balance on 28 February 2013                                   288 700

         D.     The account of R Kingful, who owes R1 520, must be written off. Adjust
                the provision for bad debts to 4% of outstanding debts.

         E.     A debtor, L Ndlovu, whose debt had previously been written off, paid
                R120. The bookkeeper incorrectly credited the amount to the Bad Debts
                account. Correct the error.

         F.     Stationery on hand on 28 February 2013 is estimated at R190.

         G.     A physical stocktaking on 28 February 2013 revealed the value of stock
                on hand as R67 240.

         H.     An annual insurance premium of R11 400 was paid on 1 January 2013.

         I.     The rent received from the tenant included the rent for March 2013. The
                rent was increased by R912 per month on 1 October 2012.

         J.     A final dividend of 5 cents per share was declared on 28 February 2013.
                All shares issued to date qualify for this dividend.

         K.     Income tax for the year amounts to R35 264.

                                                                                    80

          In our opinion, the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects,
          the financial position of this company at 29 February 2012 and the results of
          their operations and cash flow for the year ended in accordance with
          International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner required by
          the Companies Act of South Africa.

          Extract from audit report of Peggy Ltd:

          We found that internal control procedures were not adhered to and that
          documentation did not exist for a significant portion of the transactions tested.

          Because of the significance of the matter described in the previous
          paragraph we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
          evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not
          express an opinion on the financial statements for the year ended
          29 February 2012.

        REQUIRED:

You are provided with information relating to Highveld Traders for the financial year
ended 28 February 2013. The business is owned by Anele and managed by Chris,
who is responsible for running the shop.

The business buys and sells cricket bats and cricket balls.

         workings, using both the number of units and the value of the units.

         5.2.1       Cost of sales                                                               (6)

         5.3.2       Explain TWO control measures she could put in place to avoid this
                     from happening in future.                                                   (4)

5.4      Anele is concerned about the way in which Chris has managed the cricket
         balls. Anele has found that Chris had changed the supplier of cricket balls in
         November without informing her.

         Provide evidence from the information provided to support Anele's concern.
         State TWO points and quote figures to support your answer.                              (4)

5.5      Anele has since discovered that the new supplier of cricket balls is a family
         member of Chris.

         What advice would you offer to Anele in this regard?                                    (3)

6.10     John will have a problem to replace his old computers and cash registers in
         March 2013. The cost of these items amounts to R150 000 and he expects
         them to last 5 years. However, he does not have cash available to pay for this.
         His options are:

            Raise a new loan at an interest rate of 14% p.a. to be repaid over
             36 months
            Hire (Lease) the assets from IT Connect Ltd at R5 100 per month
            Invite his friend James to become an equal partner in the business and
             provide capital of R150 000

         John realises that all three options have the advantage of not requiring the
         R150 000 outlay in March 2013.

         Consider each of these options and explain ONE other advantage and ONE
         disadvantage of each option. Provide figures to support your answer.                  (6)
