Problem # 1                                                                                                             

On 1 January, Johnson set up Valle yview Playgyms Company to manufacture and sell children's outdoor playgyms. He was an engineer by profession but he understood the importance of accounting information and kept his accounting records meticulously throughout the year. At the end of the year he prepared the following income statement for the year:

Valley view Playgyms Company

Income Statement

for the year ended 31st December, 2012

Sales

 

450,000

Less Operating expenses:

 

 

Purchase of Raw Material

$200,000

 

Purchase of factory supplies

 10,000

 

Wages of the factory employees (who worked directly on the playgyms)

     75,000

 

Wages for other factory employees

       10,000

 

Managers' salary

       40,000

 

Office staff salaries

       10,000

       22,000

       10,000

         8,000

 

Clearing costs

         5,000

 

Rent

     25,000

 

Electricity

          4,500

 

Purchase of factory equipment

   140,000

 

Purchase of Office Equipment

    10,000

 

Purchase of Sales vehicles

    15,000

 

Total Operating expenses

 

584,500

Net Loss

 

$(134,500)

Although disappointed, Johnson was not surprised. He knew that expenses were higher than sales because, throughout the year, he had been able to generate a cash surplus. His bank overdraft had blown out and his bank manager has asked him to present his financial statements for 2012 to the bank.

Required:

You are the bank's accountant and the bank manager has asked you to:

1.       Review the performance of Valley view Playgyms in 2012 and make a recommendation as to whether Johnson's overdraft facility should be cancelled.

2.       Prepare a report for Johnson explaining the errors he made in his income statement.

To perform this analysis you will need to recast Johnson's income statement. The following information may be useful:

  • The factory occupies 80 per cent of the rented building, the sales area 15 per cent and the administration area 5 per cent.
  • All the company's fixed assets are estimated to have a useful life for five years and no salvage value at the end of their life.
  • Johnson spends 50 per cent of his time as factory manager and spends the remaining time equally on sales and general administration.
  • Electricity costs are consumed almost entirely by the factory.
  • At 31 December 2012, the following inventories existed:
  • Raw Material $20,000
  • Work in Process $40 000
  • Finished Goods $51 500
