The following matters are to be taken into account.
(1) Inventory 31/12/2017 £23,700
(2) Wages due but unpaid at 31/12/2017 £250
(3) Rent paid in advance at 31/12/2017 £400
(4) Provision for Bad Debts is to be calculated at 5% of Trade Receivables.
(5) An adjustment should be made because the benefit of the amount
expended on advertising during 2017 is expected to accrue evenly over
2017 and 2018.
In mid-December a Motor Van, costing £2,000 and on which depreciation
of £600 had been accumulated was sold for £1,500. A replacement van
was purchased for £3,000. These transactions had not been recorded in
the books by 31* December 2017 nor had any cash been paid or received.
(6)
(7) During the year Mr Brown took goods valued at £3,500 (cost price) for
private purposes, no records were maintained in the books.
(8) Depreciation is to be provided as follows:
Leasehold Premises 5% p.a. on reducing balance
Fittings 10% pa on a straight line basis.
Motor Vans 20% on a straight line basis.
A full year depreciation is to be provided for fixed assets on the books at 31"
December 2017.
Required
A comprehensive income statement for 2017 and a financial position statement
as at 31 December 2017.
