You're on a roll — To calculate the adjusted net profit for Sanjah Clothing for the year ended 30 June 2016, we need to start with the given net profit before adjustments and then apply all the adjustments. Step 1: Determine the Net Profit before adjustments From the trial balance, we need to calculate the net profit before adjustments. Sales = R966\,250 Cost of Sales = R566\,750 Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales = R966\,250 - R566\,750 = R399\,500 Now, we list all other income and expenses from the trial balance: Debtors allowances: R5,778 (Expense) Salaries and wages: R210,000 (Expense) Consumable stores: R5,680 (Expense) Advertising: R12,340 (Expense) Bad debts: R1,430 (Expense) Rent income: R7,680 (Income) Insurance: R10,976 (Expense) Water and electricity: R10,976 (Expense) Telephone: R11,320 (Expense) Sundry expenses: R18,665 (Expense) Interest on current account: R1,436 (Income - Credit balance) Interest on loan: ? (Expense - Debit balance) Let's calculate the total expenses and total other income from the trial balance: Total Expenses (TB) = R5\,778 + R210\,000 + R5\,680 + R12\,340 + R1\,430 + R10\,976 + R10\,976 + R11\,320 + R18\,665 = R287\,165 Total Other Income (TB) = R7\,680 + R1\,436 = R9\,116 The trial balance shows a debit balance for "Interest on loan" but no amount. We need to calculate this from the loan statement. From the AB Bank Loan Statement: Balance on 1 July 2015: R300,000 Interest capitalised: R33,000 Monthly payments: R69,000 (This includes interest and capital repayments) Balance on 30 June 2016: R264,000 The interest capitalised of R33,000 is the interest expense for the year. Net Profit before adjustments = Gross Profit + Total Other Income (TB) - Total Expenses (TB) - Interest on Loan Net Profit before adjustments = R399\,500 + R9\,116 - R287\,165 - R33\,000 = R88\,451 Step 2: Apply Adjustments to Net Profit Adjustment 1: Trading stock on hand R53,200. Consumable stores R870. Trading Stock: Opening Stock (from TB): R54,890 Purchases (from TB Cost of Sales): R566,750 Closing Stock (adjustment): R53,200 Adjusted Cost of Sales = R54,890 + R566,750 - R53,200 = R568,440 Original Cost of Sales (TB): R566,750 Increase in Cost of Sales = R568,440 - R566,750 = R1,690 Effect on profit: Subtract R1,690. Consumable Stores: Consumable stores on hand (adjustment): R870 Consumable stores expense (from TB): R5,680 Actual Consumable Stores Expense = R5,680 - R870 = R4,810 Decrease in Consumable Stores Expense = R5,680 - R4,810 = R870 Effect on profit: Add R870. Adjustment 2: The rent for July 2016 was received in advance. Rent income (from TB): R7,680 Rent received in advance (unearned income): R1,500 (This is given in the previous prompt, not visible in the current image, but assumed from context). Effect on profit: Subtract R1,500. Adjustment 3: Provide for depreciation on equipment at 15% p.a. on the diminishing balance. Equipment (from TB): R60,000 Accumulated depreciation on equipment (from TB): R12,300 Carrying value = R60,000 - R12,300 = R47,700 Depreciation for the year = 15% of R47,700 = R7,155 The trial balance already includes R12,000 for "Accumulated depreciation on equipment" (this is the accumulated amount, not the current year's expense). The question asks to provide* for depreciation, implying this is the current year's expense. Effect on profit: Subtract R7,155. Adjustment 4: Provide for bad debts to 4% of the outstanding debtors balance. Debtors control (from TB): R18,600 New provision for bad debts = 4% of R18,600 = R744 Existing provision for bad debts (from TB): R16,891 (This seems unusually high for a provision compared to debtors control. Let's re-examine the trial balance. "Provision for bad debts" is a credit balance of R867, not R16,891. R16,891 is "Debtors control" debit balance. The R867 is the existing provision.) Existing provision for bad debts (from TB): R867 Required provision: R744 The existing provision is R867, and the required provision is R744. This means the provision needs to be decreased* by R867 - R744 = R123. A decrease in provision for bad debts is an income. Effect on profit: Add R123. Adjustment 5: Advertisements prepaid, R800. Advertising expense (from TB): R12,340 Prepaid advertising: R800 Actual Advertising Expense = R12,340 - R800 = R11,540 Decrease in Advertising Expense = R800 Effect on profit: Add R800. Adjustment 6: Water and electricity payable on 30 June 2016, R643. Water and electricity expense (from TB): R10,976 Accrued water and electricity: R643 Actual Water and Electricity Expense = R10,976 + R643 = R11,619 Increase in Water and Electricity Expense = R643 Effect on profit: Subtract R643. Adjustment 7: Interest on the mortgage loan is capitalised. The loan statement received from AB Bank on 30 June 2016 reflects the following: We already used the R33,000 interest capitalised as the interest on loan expense in Step 1. No further adjustment needed here for the profit calculation. Step 3: Calculate the Adjusted Net Profit Start with the Net Profit before adjustments and apply all the effects. Net Profit before adjustments = R88\,451 Adjusted Net Profit = R88\,451 R1\,690 (Increase in Cost of Sales) + R870 (Decrease in Consumable Stores Expense) R1\,500 (Rent income received in advance) R7\,155 (Depreciation expense) + R123 (Decrease in Provision for Bad Debts) + R800 (Prepaid Advertising) R643 (Accrued Water and Electricity) Adjusted Net Profit = R88\,451 - R1\,690 + R870 - R1\,500 - R7\,155 + R123 + R800 - R643 Adjusted Net Profit = R79\,256 The final adjusted net profit is R79,256. Summary of Adjustments: Net Profit before adjustments: R88,451 Adjustment 1 (Trading Stock): -R1,690 Adjustment 1 (Consumable Stores): +R870 Adjustment 2 (Rent Income): -R1,500 Adjustment 3 (Depreciation): -R7,155 Adjustment 4 (Provision for Bad Debts): +R123 Adjustment 5 (Advertising): +R800 Adjustment 6 (Water and Electricity): -R643 Adjusted Net Profit = R88\,451 - R1\,690 + R870 - R1\,500 - R7\,155 + R123 + R800 - R643 = R79\,256 What's next?
