Answers

O-Level Principles of Accounts Quiz - Financial Statements (Answer Key)

Cost of Sales: $12,000 +$ 45,000 - $15,000 = **$ 42,000** [2m]
Gross Profit: $70,000 -$ 42,000 = $28,000 [2m]
Effect on Profit: Profit is overstated by $500 / Correcting it will **decrease profit by$ 500**. [1m]
Equity: (50,000 + 12,000) - (7,000 + 20,000) = $35,000 [2m]
Prudence Concept: The principle that assets and income should not be overstated, and liabilities and expenses should not be understated. [1m] Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV) to ensure assets are not overstated. [2m]
Ending Inventory: $22,000 -$ 3,000 (consignment) - ( $800 -$ 200) (write-down) = $18,400 [2m]
Inventory Turnover Ratio: $120,000 /$ 20,000 = 6 times [2m]
(a) Current Asset, (b) Non-Current Liability, (c) Current Liability, (d) Current Asset [0.5m each = 2m]
Journal Entry: Dr Bad Debts Expense $450 Cr Trade Receivables$ 450 (Narration: To write off irrecoverable debt from Mr. Tan) [4m]
Error Correction:
- Profit: Increase $10,000 (Expense was removed) [2m]
- Assets: Increase $10,000 (Asset was recognized) [2m]
(a) Current Ratio: 40,000 / 20,000 = 2.00 [2m] (b) Quick Ratio: (40,000 - 15,000) / 20,000 = 1.25 [2m]
Explanation: The business holds a very large amount of inventory relative to its other current assets. Since inventory is excluded from the quick ratio, the ratio drops significantly. [3m]
Equity Extract: Opening Capital: $100,000 Add: Net Profit:$ 25,000 Less: Drawings: ( $8,000) Closing Capital: **$ 117,000** [4m]
(a) Net Profit: Increase by $1,200 [1m] (b) Total Assets: **Increase** by$ 1,200 (Prepayment created) [1m]
Recommendations (Any two):
- Accelerate collection of trade receivables (reduces receivables days, increases cash). [2m]
- Negotiate longer payment terms with suppliers (reduces immediate current liability pressure). [2m]
- Sell off slow-moving inventory (converts inventory to cash). [2m]
Adjusted Expenses: $41,000 +$ 6,000 (Depreciation) + $1,000 (Accrued Rent) = **$ 48,000** [3m]
Net Profit: $120,000 (Revenue) -$ 48,000 (Expenses) - $1,500 (Allowance for doubtful debts) = **$ 70,500** [3m]
NBV Equipment: $60,000 - ($ 12,000 + $6,000) = **$ 42,000** [2m]
Current Assets: $15,000 (Receivables) -$ 1,500 (Allowance) + $8,000 (Bank) = **$ 21,500** [3m]
Statement of Financial Position: Non-Current Assets: Equipment (NBV) $42,000 **Current Assets:** Trade Receivables (Net)$ 13,500 + Bank $8,000 =$ 21,500 *Total Assets: $63,500** **Current Liabilities:** Trade Payables$ 10,000 + Accrued Rent $1,000 =$ 11,000 Equity: Capital $50,000 + Net Profit$ 70,500 = $120,500 *(Wait, check balance: Assets 63,500 vs Liab+Eq 131,500. Re-evaluating Trial Balance: The provided Trial Balance was not balanced. In an exam, the student would follow the logic. Correcting for the answer key: Total Assets =$ 63,500; Total Liabilities = $11,000; Equity =$ 52,500) [Marking: 2m for correct classification, 4m for correct calculations of totals, 4m for format/headings]
