ACTIVITY C4 Nikke Stores is a retail business that sells sporting goods. The business was originally owned by Bennie Becker. The financial year ends on 31 December each year. As his wife studied Accounting at school, he has asked her to prepare a Cash Budget for the business, and to enter the actual figures each month. In February 2020, you are provided with this Cash Budget which also reflects the actual figures. The business had a bank overdraft of R325 400 on 1 December 2019. In order to solve the overdraft problem, Bennie Becker decided to admit Mark Mtini as a new business partner on 28 December 2019. This was not anticipated when Mary drew up the Cash Budget at the beginning of December. The partnership agreement stated that Mtini’s capital contribution comprised a transfer of cash, R250 000, and a new delivery vehicle valued at R180 000. REQUIRED: 1. Bennie Bekker feels that his wife has made two mistakes in compiling the budget. He says that she has incorrectly left out the following: • the monthly depreciation of R4 800 per month • the new delivery vehicle valued at R240 000 which was provided as capital by Mtini. What would you say to Bennie? 2. Complete the Debtors Collection Schedule for December 2019 and January 2020. 3. Calculate the following for January 2020: • % increase in the budgeted salaries and wages • % decrease in the amount budgeted for commission income. 4. The R9 000 per month is the monthly repayment on the purchase of the existing vehicle which was bought several months ago for R196 000. At the time of purchase, a deposit of R46 000 was paid. The instalment is to be paid over 24 months. Calculate the total finance charges incurred in the purchase of this vehicle. 5. Bennie Bekker’s son, Bart, used the business vehicle to attend his Matric farewell party. He was involved in an accident. The insurance company refused to repair the damaged vehicle as he was not listed as a designated driver of the vehicle and the vehicle was not being used for business purposes. Bennie authorized the payment for the repairs to the damaged vehicle and charged this cost to Vehicle Expenses. Bear in mind that the business has over-budgeted on the normal vehicle expenses and is only spending 75% of the budgeted amount on this item. • What effect did the damage caused by Bart have on the budget? • Mtini has become aware of this. What is he likely to say to Bennie? Provide TWO points.
6. Refer to the Rent in the Cash Budget. A rent increase of 10% takes effect on 1 January 2020. The actual rent received in December was as per the budget. • Calculate the rent income for December 2019 • Provide a suitable explanation for the actual amount of rent collected in January 2020 being different from the budgeted amount. 7. Payments to creditors: • Calculate the budgeted amount to be paid to creditors in January 2020. • Mtini feels that the business need not buy any goods for cash, and that all goods should be bought on credit. In your opinion, will this improve the business Cash Budget? Explain. 8. Bennie Bekker decided to repay the existing loan from Alpha Lenders in full on 30 November 2019 as the interest rate was very high. The interest of 15% p.a. on this loan was not capitalized. He then decided to take out a new loan with Minty Bank on 1 December 2020. Interest is capitalized on this loan and according to the agreement a monthly amount of R4 000 is to be paid to the Minty Bank on the 25th day of each month. • Explain the difference between interest that is capitalized and interest that is not capitalized. • Calculate the amount of the loan to be repaid on 30 November 2019. 9. Use the Cash Budget to identify the missing figures, totals and balances designated A-D. You are not required to identify the figures designated with a question mark (?) 10. Mtini is worried that the business is not controlling the debtors properly. He asks you for a short report. Include the following in your report: • A calculation of the average debtors’ collection period (in days) for the year, and a comment on this calculation. • The % of debtors who are complying with the credit terms (as indicated in the Debtors Age Analysis) • A brief comment on this above two calculations. • Details of the main mistakes that the business is making with regard to the debtors and the names of specific debtors to illustrate these main problems. 11. Consider the actual and budgeted figures for Advertising, Telephone and Insurance. (Note that Mtini has not drawn any funds as yet). Comment on each item, and offer ONE point of advice in each case. 12. Bennie has made two significant decisions by taking out a new loan and admitting a partner to the business. What would you say to Bennie about these decisions and the effect on the cash flow of the business?

1.4.1 Explain whether Water and electricity has been well controlled, or not. Comment on control  Figures  This expense has been well-controlled. If the projected amount of R6 750 considered the increase, it would have been R7 762,50. Only R7 500 was spent (R262,50 less than the adjusted projected amount.) OR The projected amount (R6 750) has not taken in account the tariff increases of 15% affected on 1 February 2021, which would have led to an adjusted projected amount of R7 762,50. 2 1.4.2 Explain whether you agree with Sam's decision not to use the full budget for Advertising. Comment on decision  Figures  The actual amount spent is R4 350 less than the budgeted/projected. / The amount spent (R2 700) is lower than the projected amount (R7 050). This was a poor decision and the full amount should have been used (considering that that mark-up on cost was also adjusted from the projected 65% to 80%). This had a negative effect on fee income (R33 750 less than projected) and sales of spares (R47 250 less than projected) 2 1.4.3 Explain whether Consumable stores have been well controlled, or not. Comparison of fee income and consumable stores Figures  Part-mark for unclear / incomplete answer Comparison figures not necessary but may enhance explanation Fee income was less than budgeted by R33 750 (15%) whilst servicing expenses was over the budget by R9 675 (21,5%). An actual decrease in fee income should see a proportional decrease in consumable stores used. This indicates a lack of control. 2 1.4.4 Explain how Sam's decision about the mark-up percentage on spare parts has affected the business. Comparison of mark-up% and sales ✓ Figures ✓ Part-mark for unclear / incomplete answer Comparison figures not necessary but may enhance explanation • The increase in the mark-up percentage (65% to 80%) negatively impacted in spare-part sales. • Sales was less than projected by R47 250 (R193 050 to R145 800). • Profit on sales was less than projected by R11 250 (R76 050 to R64 800). 2

In your opinion, will this improve the business Cash Budget? Explain. Yes. This will mean that the R222 500 to be paid for cash sales in December will then be paid in January, which will improve the cash balance at the end of December by this amount. When the amount is paid in January they will also earn a R22 250 discount as well. There is also a similar effect in the following month. 4

Any valid response Excellent answer = 3 marks; Good = 2; Satisfactory/Poor = 1; Incorrect =0 Expected response: Although he has used these strategies to convert his large overdraft into a positive balance, he should rather have looked at the real reasons for the shortcomings e.g. credit sales now account for 52 % (2.4m/4.6m) of total sales and debtors are not being well controlled. He now has extra interest to pay, even though the interest rate is better, as the loan raised is larger than the one cancelled. Also he has to share profits with another partner now – when he starts to take drawings, the cash situation will get worse. 3 TOTAL MARKS 50

If the projected amount of R6 750 considered the increase, it would have been R7 762,50. Only R7 500 was spent (R262,50 less than the adjusted projected amount.) OR The projected amount (R6 750) has not taken in account the tariff increases of 15% affected on 1 February 2021, which would have led to an adjusted projected amount of R7 762,50. 2 1.4.2 Explain whether you agree with Sam's decision not to use the full budget for Advertising.

This was a poor decision and the full amount should have been used (considering that that mark-up on cost was also adjusted from the projected 65% to 80%). This had a negative effect on fee income (R33 750 less than projected) and sales of spares (R47 250 less than projected) 2 1.4.3 Explain whether Consumable stores have been well controlled, or not. Comparison of fee income and consumable stores Figures  Part-mark for unclear / incomplete answer Comparison figures not necessary but may enhance explanation Fee income was less than budgeted by R33 750 (15%) whilst servicing expenses was over the budget by R9 675 (21,5%).

December total sales = 801 000 Cost of sales: 801 000 x 100/180 = 445 000 Credit purchases: 222 500 Paid in January = 222 500 – 22 250 = R200 250 Mtini feels that the business need not buy any goods for cash, and that all goods should be bought on credit. In your opinion, will this improve the business Cash Budget? Explain. Yes. This will mean that the R222 500 to be paid for cash sales in December will then be paid in January, which will improve the cash balance at the end of December by this amount. When the amount is paid in January they will also earn a R22 250 discount as well. There is also a similar effect in the following month. 4 8.

However, when linked to sales. The business must look at one looks at the monthly sales, it trends/codes played at different seasons and shows that advertising is not budget accordingly. effective. Telephone Always overspending / under Need extra control, investigate whether there budgeted is a need to increase (calling debtors etc) or if it is being abused. 6
Insurance This is R6 000 under-budget They should consider whether they are still each month. adequately covered or whether they have genuinely negotiated a better rate. This might be false advertising if the insurance company fails to pay out for legitimate claims. 12.

What would you say to Bennie about these decisions and the effect on the cash flow of the business? Any valid response Excellent answer = 3 marks; Good = 2; Satisfactory/Poor = 1; Incorrect =0 Expected response: Although he has used these strategies to convert his large overdraft into a positive balance, he should rather have looked at the real reasons for the shortcomings e.g. credit sales now account for 52 % (2.4m/4.6m) of total sales and debtors are not being well controlled. He now has extra interest to pay, even though the interest rate is better, as the loan raised is larger than the one cancelled. Also he has to share profits with another partner now – when he starts to take drawings, the cash situation will get worse. 3 ACTIVITYC 5 5.1 KHUMBULANI TRADERS CASH BUDGET FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2020 CASH BUDGET NOVEMBER 2020 DECEMBER 2020 R R CASH RECEIPTS: Cash sales 420 000 399 000 Cash from debtors 536 025 597 975 Commission income ✓ 6 000  7 000 Total receipts 5  962 025 1 003 975 CASH PAYMENTS: Cash purchases of stock 120 000 114 000  480 000 Payments to creditors 520 000 Sundry expenses 22 500  20 700 Wages and salaries  200 000  256 000 Advertisements  33 000 0 25
