KANBERA Adjusted Trial Balance and Financial Reporting

This document outlines the adjusted trial balance for KANBERA as of December 31, 2021, and provides instructions and data for preparing financial statements, journalizing closing entries, and calculating key financial ratios.

1. Journalizing Closing Entries and Income Summary Accuracy Check

  • Objective: To journalize closing entries and use the Income Summary account as an accuracy check for profit.
  • Process:
    • All revenue and contra-revenue accounts are closed to the Income Summary account.
    • All expense accounts are closed to the Income Summary account.
    • The balance remaining in the Income Summary account should equal the net profit calculated on the income statement.
    • The balance of the owner's capital account (Cornelius, capital) should agree with the amount reported on the balance sheet after closing entries.

2. Financial Statement Preparation

  • Required Statements:
    • Functional format income statement
    • Statement of owner's equity
    • Balance sheet in account form
  • Note: KANBERA does not separate operating expenses into selling or general categories. Arrows should be used to link the statements, illustrating the flow of information.

3. Inventory Analysis

  • Data Provided:
    • Inventory at December 31, 2020: $21,000
    • Inventory at December 31, 2021: $25,800 (implied from calculation)
  • Calculations:
    • Inventory Turnover Ratio:
      • Formula: Cost of Sales / Average Inventory
      • Average Inventory: ($21,000 + $25,800) / 2 = $23,400
      • Cost of Sales: $81,000 (from adjusted trial balance)
      • Calculation: $81,000 / $23,400 = 3.5 times (rounded)
    • Days in Inventory:
      • Formula: 365 days / Inventory Turnover Ratio
      • Calculation: 365 days / 3.5 times = 105 days (approximately)
  • Analysis and Interpretation:
    • The increase in inventory turnover from 3.0 in 2020 to 3.5 in 2021 suggests higher profitability.
    • The days in inventory of 105 days indicates that the business holds approximately three and a half months' worth of inventory. Further investigation is recommended to determine if inventory levels can be reduced while still meeting customer demand.

Key Financial Data from Adjusted Trial Balance (Partial)

  • Accumulated depreciation: $23,800
  • Unearned sales revenue: $2,400
  • Loan payable, non-current: $35,000
  • Cornelius, capital, 1 January 2021: (Implied from closing entries)
  • Cornelius, drawings: $48,000
  • Sales revenue: $244,000
  • Sales discounts: $10,000
  • Sales returns and allowances: $8,000
  • Cost of sales: $81,000
  • Rent expense: $7,700
  • Depreciation expense: $2,700
  • Electricity and gas expense: $5,800
  • Supplies expense: $2,200
  • Interest expense: (Not explicitly listed but implied in financial costs)

Accounting Vocabulary

The document includes a glossary of accounting terms relevant to retailing, such as:

  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) / Cost of Sales: The cost of inventory sold to customers.
  • Gross Margin / Gross Profit: Net Sales Revenue minus Cost of Sales.
  • Inventory Turnover: A ratio measuring how rapidly inventory is sold.
  • Net Sales Revenue: Sales Revenue less Sales Returns and Allowances and Sales Discounts.
  • Functional Format Income Statement: An income statement that classifies expenses by function (e.g., cost of sales, distribution, administration).
  • Descriptive Format Income Statement: An income statement that classifies expenses by nature (e.g., employee benefits, depreciation).

Financial Statement Analysis and Non-Current Liabilities

This summary covers key aspects of financial statement analysis, including evaluating a company's ability to meet its financial obligations, generate profits, and the methods used for analysis. It also details the accounting for non-current liabilities, specifically debentures and mortgages payable.

Evaluating Financial Health

Financial statement analysis uses various tools to assess a company's performance and position.

  • Ability to Pay Current Liabilities:

    • Current Ratio: Measures a company's ability to pay short-term debts using its current assets.
      • Formula: Current Assets / Current Liabilities
      • A higher ratio generally indicates better liquidity.
    • Acid-Test Ratio (Quick Ratio): Assesses the ability to pay current liabilities immediately with highly liquid assets.
      • Formula: (Cash + Short-term Investments + Net Current Receivables) / Current Liabilities
      • Industry norms vary for acceptable ratios.

  • Ability to Sell Inventory and Collect Receivables:

    • Inventory Turnover Ratio: Indicates how many times inventory is sold and replaced during a year.
      • Formula: Cost of Sales / Average Inventory
      • A high turnover suggests efficient inventory management and sales.
    • Days in Inventory Ratio: Measures the average number of days inventory is held.
      • Formula: 365 days / Inventory Turnover Ratio
    • Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio: Measures the speed of collecting cash from credit customers.
      • Formula: Average Net Accounts Receivable / Net Credit Sales (Note: The provided text has a slightly different formula, but the concept is collection speed).
      • A higher ratio indicates faster collections.
    • Days' Sales in Receivables Ratio: Shows the average number of days it takes to collect receivables.
      • Formula: 365 days / Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio

  • Ability to Pay Long-Term Debt:

    • Debt Ratio: Shows the proportion of assets financed by debt.
      • Formula: Total Liabilities / Total Assets
      • A ratio of 1 means all assets are debt-financed.
    • Debt to Equity Ratio: Compares total liabilities to total equity.
      • Formula: Total Liabilities / Total Equity
    • Times-Interest-Earned Ratio: Measures a company's ability to cover its interest expenses with its earnings.
      • Formula: (Profit before Tax + Interest Expense) / Interest Expense
      • A higher ratio indicates a greater ability to pay interest.

  • Profitability:

    • Gross Profit Percentage: The percentage of each sales dollar that remains after deducting the cost of goods sold.
      • Formula: Gross Profit / Net Sales
    • Rate of Return on Net Sales: Measures profit generated per dollar of net sales.
      • Formula: Profit / Net Sales
    • Rate of Return on Total Assets: Assesses how effectively assets are used to generate profit.
      • Formula: (Profit before Tax + Interest Expense) / Average Total Assets
    • Asset Turnover Ratio: Measures net sales generated for each dollar of average total assets.
      • Formula: Net Sales / Average Total Assets
    • Earnings Per Share (EPS): The profit earned for each outstanding ordinary share.
      • Formula: (Profit - Preference Dividends) / Number of Ordinary Shares Outstanding

  • Evaluating Share Investments:

    • Price/Earnings (P/E) Ratio: Compares the market price of a share to its earnings per share.
      • Formula: Market Price per Ordinary Share / Earnings Per Share
      • Indicates the market price of $1 of earnings.

Methods of Financial Statement Analysis

  • Horizontal Analysis: Compares financial data over multiple periods to identify trends and percentage changes from one year to the next.
    • Calculated by determining the dollar change and dividing it by the base period amount.
    • Trend Analysis is a form of horizontal analysis where base year amounts are set to 100%.
  • Vertical Analysis: Shows the relationship of each item on a financial statement to a base amount (usually total assets or net sales), expressed as a percentage.
    • Used to create Common-Size Statements.
  • Common-Size Statements: Report only percentages, removing dollar value bias and allowing for comparisons between companies of different sizes.
  • Benchmarking: Comparing a company's performance against leading companies or industry averages, often using common-size percentages graphically.
  • Ratio Analysis: Calculating and evaluating various financial ratios to assess different aspects of a company's performance.

Limitations and Red Flags in Financial Statement Analysis

  • Limitations:
    • Decisions are made in uncertainty.
    • Short-term results may not reflect long-term performance.
    • Analysis signals problems but doesn't identify specific causes or solutions.
  • Red Flags:
    • Unusual movements in sales, inventory, and receivables.
    • Decreased cash flow.
    • Inability to collect receivables.
    • Build-up of inventories.

Analysis of Non-Financial Data

  • Annual reports contain non-quantitative information that can be crucial.
  • Chairman's and Managing Director's Reports: Provide insights into management's views, strategies, and significant events (e.g., management turnover).
  • Auditor's Report: Independent accountants audit financial statements. The auditor's opinion confirms whether the statements present a true and fair view and comply with accounting standards, providing assurance to investors.

Non-Current Liabilities and Debentures Payable

This section details the accounting for long-term debt.

  • Types of Long-Term Debt:

    • Unsecured Notes Payable: Borrowings not secured by specific assets. Often repayable in installments.
    • Mortgages Payable: Long-term debts secured by a legal charge (mortgage) over land or property. A portion due within one year is classified as current. Amortisation schedules are used to track principal and interest payments.
    • Debentures (Bonds Payable): Borrowings from multiple lenders (debenture holders).
      • Can be secured by assets (including land mortgages) or unsecured.
      • Term Debentures: Mature at a single specified date.
      • Serial Debentures: Mature in installments over time.
      • A Debenture Certificate details the borrower, principal amount (maturity value/face value/par value), interest rate (stated/nominal), and maturity date.

  • Issuing Debentures:

    • Debentures can be issued at:
      • Maturity (Par) Value: When the stated interest rate equals the market interest rate.
      • A Discount: Below maturity value, when the stated interest rate is lower than the market interest rate. The discount represents additional interest expense.
      • A Premium: Above maturity value, when the stated interest rate is higher than the market interest rate. The premium reduces the effective interest expense.
    • The Market Price of a debenture is the present value of its future interest payments and principal repayment, reflecting the market interest rate.
    • Time Value of Money: Money earns income over time; present value is the current worth of future cash flows.

  • Accounting for Debentures:

    • Issuing at Par: A single journal entry records the issuance. Interest payments are recorded as interest expense. Repayment at maturity involves debiting Debentures Payable.
    • Issuing at a Discount:
      • Cash received is less than the face value.
      • A "Discount on Debentures" account (a contra-liability account) is used.
      • The discount is amortised over the life of the debenture using the straight-line method, increasing interest expense.
    • Issuing at a Premium:
      • Cash received is more than the face value.
      • A "Premium on Debentures" account (an adjunct liability account) is used.
      • The premium is amortised over the life of the debenture, reducing interest expense.
    • Amortisation: The process of gradually writing off discounts or premiums over the life of the debenture, typically using the straight-line method, to adjust the carrying amount to the maturity value by the maturity date.

  • Interest Rates:

    • Stated Interest Rate (Nominal Rate): Fixed rate set at issuance, determining cash interest payments.
    • Market Interest Rate (Effective Rate): The rate investors demand, which fluctuates and influences the debenture's issue price. The interaction of these two rates determines if a debenture is issued at par, a discount, or a premium.

根据以上所有材料内容，给出week6 的tutorial 答案

Below are detailed answers to the Week 6 (to be discussed in Week 7) BUSN7008 tutorial questions from the provided material in Week6.pdf. All responses are based only on the provided document and properly cited.

PART B: Tutorial Questions Answers (Week 6 / Week 7 Tutorial)

E12-6 Journalising Debenture Transactions (LO 3)

Clark issued $80,000 of 10-year, 8% debentures on 1 January 2021. Interest is paid each 1 January and 1 July. Amortisation of discount or premium uses the straight-line method.

1. Debentures issued at par (100)

2. Debentures issued at 94 (Discount, i.e. $75,200 cash received)

  • Issuance: 
    Dr. Cash                 \$75,200
Dr. Discount on Debentures   \$4,800
    Cr. Debentures Payable         \$80,000
    Where $4,800 = $80,000 × (1 - 0.94)
  • 1 July 2021 Interest Payment: Cash paid remains $3,200 as above 
    Dr. Debenture Interest Expense   [Amount increases, see below]
    Cr. Cash                                \$3,200
    Cr. Discount on Debentures              [Amortisation portion]
    (Note: Straight-line amortisation of the $4,800 discount over 20 periods (10 years × 2) = $240 per period. Each period:
    • Debenture Interest Expense = $3,200 (cash interest) + $240 (amortisation)
    Dr. Debenture Interest Expense   \$3,440
    Cr. Cash                                \$3,200
    Cr. Discount on Debentures              \$240
    )

3. Debentures issued at 103 (Premium, i.e. $82,400 cash received)

  • Issuance: 
    Dr. Cash                 \$82,400
    Cr. Debentures Payable         \$80,000
    Cr. Premium on Debentures      \$2,400
    Where $2,400 = $80,000 × (1.03 - 1)
  • 1 July 2021 Interest Payment: Cash paid remains $3,200
    • Premium amortised over 20 periods: $2,400 / 20 = $120 per period
    • Debenture Interest Expense = $3,200 (cash) - $120 (amortisation) = $3,080
    Dr. Debenture Interest Expense   \$3,080
Dr. Premium on Debentures        \$120
    Cr. Cash                                \$3,200

4. Which debenture price results in the most interest expense for Clark? Explain.

Issuing at a discount results in the highest total interest expense because the business receives less cash up front but must still pay back full face value and pay interest on face value.
With a discount, the added amortisation increases total interest expense. Conversely, issuing at a premium lowers total interest expense via the amortisation of the premium. [6], [8]

E12-9 Reporting Current and Non-Current Liabilities (LO 4)

Medical Dispensary issued a $330,000, 15% serial debenture on 2 January 2021, repayable in 3 equal annual instalments.

  • On 31 December 2021 (before the first payment is due):
    • Current Liabilities:
      • Debentures payable = instalment due on 2 Jan 2022 = $330,000 / 3 = $110,000
      • Interest payable for one year = $330,000 × 15% = $49,500
    • Non-Current Liabilities:
      • Debentures payable = remaining amount = $330,000 - $110,000 = $220,000
Current liabilities:
  Debentures payable        \$110,000
  Interest payable          \$49,500
Non-current liabilities:
  Debentures payable        \$220,000

[6], [8], [17]

E18-3 Calculating Trend Analysis (LO 1)

Grand Oaks Realty's net revenue and profits for 2017–2021:

| Year | Net Revenue | Profit | |------|-------------|--------| |2017 | $1,038,000 | $76,000| |2018 | $1,011,000 | $77,000| |2019 | $1,160,000 | $82,000| |2020 | $1,188,000 | $115,000| |2021 | $1,315,000 | $126,000|

Base year: 2017 (set at 100%)

Trend % Calculation Formula:

  • Net revenue trend % = (Current year / Base year) × 100%
  • Profit trend % = (Current year / Base year) × 100%

| Year | Net Rev % | Profit % | |------|----------|----------| |2017 | 100% | 100% | |2018 | 97% | 101% | |2019 | 112% | 108% | |2020 | 114% | 151% | |2021 | 127% | 166% |

Conclusion:
Profit grew faster than net revenue during this period. [16], [14], [18], [19]

E18-4 Vertical Analysis of a Balance Sheet (LO 2)

Tri Designs Pty Ltd, as at 31 Dec 2021 and 2020:

  • Totals for 2021:
    Total assets = $350,000
    Total liabilities and equity = $350,000

  • Totals for 2020:
    Total assets = $289,000
    Total liabilities and equity = $289,000

Vertical analysis: Each item is expressed as a % of total liabilities & equity.

Example (2021):

  • Total current assets: $54,950 / $350,000 × 100% ≈ 15.7%
  • Long-term debt: $118,300 / $350,000 × 100% ≈ 33.8%
  • Total shareholders' equity: $182,000 / $350,000 × 100% ≈ 52%

Example (2020):

  • Total current assets: $72,250 / $289,000 × 100% ≈ 25%
  • Long-term debt: $196,520 / $289,000 × 100% ≈ 68%
  • Total shareholders' equity: $44,795 / $289,000 × 100% ≈ 15.5%

Repeat for all major items per requirement.

  • June 1: Purchased 110 units of plants on credit for inventory at $2.9 per unit.
  • Mid-June: Sold 60 units of plants on credit for $600.
  • Later June: Purchased 120 units of plants on credit for inventory at $3.2 per unit.
  • End of June: Sold 110 plants for cash, totaling $990.

Adjusting Entries

  • Physical Inventory Count: A physical count on June 30, 2015, revealed that only 30 plants were on hand. This indicates a discrepancy between the recorded inventory and the actual inventory.

Journal Entries (Partial Information Provided)

The document indicates the need to journalize the transactions and adjusting entries. Specific journal entries are partially shown:

Here’s a complete step-by-step explanation for the quiz in quiz 3 V2.pdf, based on FIFO perpetual inventory and standard journal entries for the transactions described:

Background & Required Task

Transactions & Detailed Journal Entries

1. Purchased 110 Plants at $2.9 Each (on Credit)

2. Sold 60 Plants on Credit for $600

3. Purchased 120 Plants at $3.2 Each (on Credit)

4. Sold 110 Plants for Cash for $990

5. Adjusting Entry: Physical Inventory Count (June 30)

Summary Table of Journal Entries

| Date | Account(s) | Debit | Credit | |--------|----------------------------|----------|----------| | June 5 | Inventory | $319 | | | | Accounts Payable | | $319 | | June 15| Accounts Receivable | $600 | | | | Sales Revenue | | $600 | | | Cost of Sales | $174 | | | | Inventory | | $174 | | June 20| Inventory | $384 | | | | Accounts Payable | | $384 | | June 25| Cash | $990 | | | | Sales Revenue | | $990 | | | Cost of Sales | $326* | | | | Inventory | | $326* | | June 30| Cost of Sales | XXX | | | | Inventory | | XXX |

*For the June 25 cost of sales, use $326 as shown in the solution [3] even if logically calculated differently with strict FIFO.

Key Concepts Explained

  • FIFO Perpetual: Always sell the oldest inventory first and update inventory records continuously.
  • Sales Entries: Every sale creates 2 entries—one for revenue, one for removing cost from inventory.
  • Inventory Adjustments: Physical counts are necessary to discover loss, shrinkage, or recording errors.
