QUESTION 5: STOCK VALUATION AND VAT                              (45 marks; 25 minutes)

5.1   Choose the correct word(s) from those given in brackets. Write only the word(s) next
      to the question number (5.1.1 – 5.1.4) in the ANSWER BOOK.

      5.1.1   In the (perpetual / periodic) inventory system, the cost of sales must be
              calculated at the end of the year.

      5.1.2   The (specific identification / weighted-average) stock valuation method is
              best suited for unique high-value products.

      5.1.3   In the perpetual inventory system, merchandise purchased is recorded as
              an (asset / expense) to the business.

      5.1.4   The (first-in-first-out / weighted-average) stock valuation method is best
              suited for products of similar value purchased in large quantities.             (4)

5.2   KROOKED SKATEBOARD TRADERS

      You are provided with information relating to Krooked Skateboard Traders owned
      by G Gonzales. The business sells a type of skateboard that is imported from
      California. The financial year ended on 28 February 2019. The business uses the
      weighted-average method to value their stock and uses the periodic inventory
      system.

      REQUIRED:

      5.2.1   Calculate the following on 28 February 2019:

              (a)   The value of closing stock using the weighted-average method.             (9)
              (b)   Cost of Sales                                                             (4)
              (c)   Gross Profit                                                              (3)

      5.2.2   G Gonzales wants to alternate between using the weighted-average
              method and a FIFO method, depending on which will result in the higher
              cost of sales.

              (a)   In your opinion, why do you think G Gonzales wants to increase the
                    value of cost of sales in the financial statements?                       (2)

              (b)   Provide ONE reason why the bookkeeper says that alternating
                    between two methods of valuing stock does not comply with the
                    requirements of GAAP.                                                     (2)

                                                                                             P.T.O.
