Step-by-step solution
3 stepsTo 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.
Determine the Net Profit before adjustments
From the trial balance, we need to calculate the net profit before adjustments.
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:
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: R264,000The interest capitalised of R33,000 is the interest expense for the year.
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.
- Trading Stock:
-
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.
-
