1.2       INVENTORY VALUATION
          You are provided with information relating to All-Bright Traders. The business
          is owned by Jakob Mthemba. He sells a single brand of washing powder in
          boxes. The financial year ends on 31 May 2013. The weighted-average
          method is used to value stock.

          REQUIRED

          1.2.1      Calculate the following on 31 May 2013:

                     •   Weighted-average value per box                                        (5)

                     •   Number of boxes of washing powder missing                             (4)

                     the clerk who places the orders and receives the goods from
                     suppliers. Jakob has dismissed this employee.

                         problem. Explain how Jakob should implement this in the
                         business with regard to stock.                                        (2)

2.1       BANK RECONCILIATION STATEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

          You are provided with information relating to Remington Traders.

     2.      On comparing the August 2013 Bank Statement received from
             Star Bank with the relevant accounting records of the business, the following
             were noted:
             Item 1     The outstanding deposit of R34 800 (dated            27 July 2013)
                        appeared on the Bank Statement for August 2013.

             Item 2     Angel Workright informed the business that she had been robbed
                        on her way to the bank with a deposit of R21 500 (dated
                        16 July 2013). The matter was referred to the local police. None of
                        the funds have been recovered.

             Item 3     Of the outstanding cheques on the July Bank Reconciliation
                        Statement, only cheque No. 2372 appears on the Bank Statement
                        for August 2013. Cheque No. 1034 was issued as a donation.

             Item 4     Bank charges of R620 appeared on the Bank Statement for
                        August 2013 but not in the journals.

             Item 5     The Bank Statement for August 2013 reflected a dishonoured
                        cheque of R8 000. This cheque was originally received from
                        F Frost, a debtor, in settlement of his account of R8 150.

             Item 6     Interest of R540 was credited on the Bank Statement for
                        August 2013. It has not been entered in the relevant journal.

             Item 7     Commission income of R14 000 was deposited directly into the
                        current banking account of Remington Traders by Cute Cellulites.
                        It appeared on the Bank Statement for August 2013 but not in
                        the journals.

             Item 8     Cheque No. 2412 was issued in favour of Redbro Suppliers, a
                        creditor, during August 2013. It appeared correctly on the Bank
                        Statement for August 2013 as R16 200. It was recorded incorrectly
                        in the journal as R12 600.

             Item 9     A sundry debit entry of R300 appeared on the Bank Statement on
                        21 August 2013. This item was queried at the bank. Remington
                        Traders was informed by the bank that this was a mistake and
                        they would reverse this item on the September 2013 Bank
                        Statement.

             Item 10    The following cheques appeared in the August 2013 CPJ but not
                        on the August 2013 Bank Statement:
                        • Cheque No. 2418 (dated 25 August 2013), R8 450
                        • Cheque No. 2420 (dated 28 October 2013), R12 000

             Item 11    Two deposits appear only in the Cash Receipts Journal and not on
                        the Bank Statement:
                        • A deposit of R15 600, dated 26 August 2013
                        • A deposit of R18 000, dated 28 August 2013

             Item 12    The Bank Statement closed off with a favourable balance of
                        R42 000 on 31 August 2013.
