Accepted 'norms' are 2.0for the 'ideal' current ratio and 1.0 for the 'ideal' acid test ratio or
quick ratio. However, these 'ideal' ratios are only a rough guide, since 'norms' vary greatly
between companies in different industries. In this question, the current ratio is (1,390/420)
3.3 times and the acid test ratio is [(380 + 40)/420) 1.0 times. The current ratio is therefore
highandtheacidtestratiois'ideal'.

This is possibly a confusing question, because the average receivables collection period (in
days) can be calculated in different ways. Strictly, the average receivables collection period
shouldbecalculatedas(receivablesincludingsalestax/creditsalesincludingsalestax)365.
Thiswouldgive(23,500/50%of235,000)365=73days.
In practice, the average receivables collection period might be calculated as (receivables
includingsalestax/totalsalesrevenueincludingsalestax)365.Thisisbecauseinformationis
not always available about the division of total sales revenue between cash sales and credit
sales. In this question, the average receivables collection period would then be
(23,500/235,000)365=37days.

Trade payables and profits are both credit balances on the trial balance because they
are both liabilities of the business. Trade payables are amounts owed to outside

The profit on disposal is therefore $1,600. The profit has been omitted from the

revenue, which is incorrect. The $6,000 is not revenue, but instead goes into the
calculation of the profit on disposal of the asset. Although the disposal has not been
entered in the accounts, the omission has not put total debits and total credits out of
balance,sothesuspenseaccountisnotaffected.

(3)

Item (iii). The accounts have not recorded the disposal of the asset, which means that
depreciation has been charged on the asset (20% $22,000 = $4,400). The question
states that we have to make a correction for this, which involves removing the
depreciationchargeandadjustingprofitaccordingly.

(4)

Item (iv). A prepayment to carry forward has been omitted. This will reduce the total
insurance expense for the year, and so profit must be adjusted upwards. The omission
doesnotaffectthesuspenseaccount.

(5)

Item (v). Rent receivable has been understated and so should be increased. As it is

Tutorialnotes:
(1)

As the examiner has asked for the value of material issues it is necessary to present a
stores ledger account or equivalent working i.e., had we only been asked to value
inventoryitwouldhavebeenpossibletotakeashortcutfirstinfirstout.

(2)

Caremustbetakentorecordthetransactionindateorder.Inthequestiontheissueon
10 February appears on the line above the receipt on 8 February. Read the question
carefully.

(3)

The book figures show a closing inventory of 600 units whereas the physical count
showed 500 units. The conventional way to deal with this loss in the stores ledger
account is to treat it as an issue on the last day of the month/period being recorded
(i.e.onthedateofthephysicalcount).

(4)

When preparing the stores ledger it is recommended that the balances are listed in
chronologicalordersoastobeabletoapplytheappropriateassumption.

asinherentgoodwill(ornonpurchasedgoodwill).Itarisesbecauseofmanyfactorssuch
asthebusinesshavingagoodreputationforprovidingqualitygoodsandservices,and
employing skilled and motivated staff. These factors have no direct relationship with

inherentgoodwillintheaccounts,andIAS38IntangibleAssetsinfactforbidsit.
(ii)

Thevaluationofnoncurrentassetsatcost

Under the historical cost accounting convention, inflation and changing prices are
ignored and assets are recorded at cost. This has the advantage of being relatively
objective as it is usually certain what the asset cost to buy or construct. However, in
