(b) Accrual concept

Income and expenses are accrued (i.e. incomes or expenses are recognised as they are earned or incurred, not
as they are received or paid). They match with one another so far as their relationship can be established.
Revenues and profits dealt with in the profit and loss account are matched with associated costs and expenses
for the same period.
Example: Salary incurred but not paid for the year end should be included as expenses in the current accounting
period.

Comments:
The company has reduced its gross profit margin to generate sales. However, the company’s stock turnover
ratio has declined by 1.5 times. This shows that the company has a lot of slow-moving stock. Also, the return
on capital employed figure shows that the efficiency of the company in generating revenue from its available
resources has declined. This, in turn, affects the profitability of the company. (3)
The current ratio and quick ratio show that the company’s financial position is not so liquid anymore. The
company may face problems in paying its immediate debts. This shortage of cash could be due to the bad
management policy on debtors. The credit period allowed seems to have lengthened, from 91 days to 183
days. The company should not allow its capital to be tied up in this way and should tighten up its credit
policy or take action against slow-paying debtors. (3)
