For a complete picture however the ratio would need to be compared to industry. Softwoods is collecting its debtors balances at the rate of more than 12 times per year and therefore slightly better than once a month. Stock turnover however is rather slow at just over three times per year.

Of course the nature of the industry would need to be considered to assess whether this level of turnover was within expectations. Solvency – Softwoods is carrying a high level of long term debt with barely enough assets to cover liabilities. This raises some concern about their long term viability 23 Question 2 Part B Journalising adjusting entries Pass-Me-Please General Journal 30 June 2010 (5 marks) a) Dr Supplies Expense Cr Supplies b) Dr Depreciation Expense Cr Acc Depreciation (F&F) c) Dr Depreciation Expense Cr Acc Depreciation (Building) d) Dr Salaries Expense Cr Salary Payable e) Dr Accounts Receivable Cr Service Revenues f) Dr Unearned Service Revenue Cr Service Revenues 4,000 4,000 20,000 20,000 10,000 10,000 5,000 5,000 12,000 12,000 32,000 32,000 24

Additional control issues identified must actually link to the scenario provided in the question. Violations: 1. It is Mary's responsibility to post payments to patient accounts. In allowing Fred to assist her, the establishment of responsibility principle is violated. 2.

Although it appears to be a small office, it is not appropriate that Fred opens the mail, receives and records cash receipts from clients, and also appears to have custody of cash. This situation violates the segregation of duties principle. By posting to clients' accounts it would be possible to post credits to patient accounts and pocket the cash. 3. The documentation principle is violated when clients are not given cash receipts. Although many professional offices do not have cash registers, computerised or manual receipts are customary and necessary. 4. Independent internal verification is also being violated. There is no independent counting of the cash and comparison to total receipts. 5. Other controls are being violated. There is no mention of Fred being bonded. Also, personnel should be required to take olidays to increase the likelihood of fraud being detected. 26 Question 4 Required 1 Statement of Cash Flows (20 marks) Receipts from customers = Sales revenue + opening accounts receivable – closing accounts receivable = 141,250 + 25,000 - 30,500 = 135,750 ? Payments to employees = salaries expense + opening salaries payable – closing salaries payable = 50,000 + 1,000 – 3,500 = 47,500 ? Payments for other operating expenses = other operating expenses + opening accounts payable – closing accounts payable = 71,580 + 35,220 – 29,800 = 77,000 ? Payment for purchases of PPE = increase in cost value of PPE + cost value of PPE sold = 13,000 + 10,000 = 23,000 ?

Receipts from sale of PPE (is a two step process) = Original cost of assets – accumulated depreciation = carrying value of asset sold = 10,000 – 4,000 = 6,000 Carrying value of asset sold + profit on disposal (OR less loss on disposal) = 6,000 + 1,000 = 7,000 Required 2 Choice Brothers Pty Limited Cash Flows Statement (Partial) For the Year Ended 30 June 2010 Cash flows from operating activities $ Cash collections: From customers Cash payments: To employees For other operating expenses Net cash generated by operating activities Cash flows from investing activities Cash collections: From sale of PPE Cash payments: For purchase of PPE Net cash generated by investing activities Net movement in cash Opening balance in cash 1 July 2009 Closing balance in cash 30 June 2010 135,750 (47,500) (77,000) 11,250 ? 7,000 (23,000) (16,000) (4,750) 13,500 8,750 27 28
