QUESTION 3: INVENTORY VALUATION (30 marks; 25 minutes)
On-Time Watches (Pty) Ltd has two shareholders, Lizzy and Patsy Ndou. The
business sells watches. The periodic inventory system and the first-in-first-out (FIFO)
method is used to value the watches. The financial year-end was 30 June 2020.
The business sold only one type of watch, the XS Sports, in the past. Even though
these watches were selling well, Lizzy felt that the business was not earning enough
profit. She convinced Patsy that importing exclusive watches (the Euroclox) would be a
good solution for this problem.
REQUIRED:
3.1 Calculate the following for the imported Euroclox watches on 30 June 2020,
using the FIFO method:
The value of the closing stock (5)
Stock-holding period (in days) using the closing stock amount (3)
% mark-up on cost (3)
3.2 Patsy was still not convinced about the decision to import the Euroclox
watches, but it appears that Lizzy's decision was beneficial to the business.
In each case below, quote figures or indicators.
3.2.1 Compare the mark-up % achieved on each model and comment on
how this has affected the sales and profitability of the two models. (4)
3.2.2 Compare the stock-holding period for each model and the demand
for each model and comment on how these affected the
management of the stock items of the two models. (4)
3.3 Lizzy is interested in finding out if the weighted-average method of valuing the
Euroclox watches will result in a significantly different stock value.
Calculate the value of the 270 watches using the weighted-average
method. (5)
Explain the effect this would have on the gross profit. Quote figures. (2)
Explain why it would not be appropriate for her to use the weighted-
average method for the new watches in the future. State TWO points. (4)
