The following information is relevant.
1. The closing inventory at 5 April 2021 is valued at £132,690.
2. On 5 February 2021 Martina sold a motor vehicle for £8,200. The customer was due to pay Martina's Mechanical Services on 5 April 2021 but only paid half of the amount due by cheque on this last day of the accounting year. Nothing regarding the disposal transaction, including any cash received, has been recorded in the accounts. This motor vehicle had been bought on 6 October 2018 for £15,400.
3. On 5 December 2020, Martina bought a new motor vehicle for £18,000 on purely credit terms. Martina mistakenly debited Fixtures and Fittings at cost.
4. Depreciation on motor vehicles is provided at 25% per annum using the reducing balance basis on a monthly pro-rata basis. Depreciation on fixtures, fittings and equipment is provided at 10% per annum on the straight line basis, assuming no residual value. There were no purchases or disposals of fixtures, fittings, and equipment during the year.
5. Martina estimates that £2,760 due from customers will be irrecoverable and must be written off.
6. The allowance for receivables is to be set at 3% of net receivables at 5 April 2021.
7. Rent includes a prepayment of £620.
8. The heating bill will arrive on 5 June 2021 and £390 is expected to relate to the period ended 5 April 2021.
9. An invoice for £870 for insurance needs to be recorded and accrued for the same period.
10. The long-term loan is repayable in 10 years' time. Interest payable on the loan is 8% and will be paid once per year.
Required -
a. Prepare the income statement for Martina's Mechanical Services for the period ended 5 April 2021. Your answer should only be in round pounds. Show your workings, including a full non-current assets note.
b. Prepare the balance sheet for Martina's Mechanical Services as at 5 April 2021. Show your workings.
c. Explain why any adjustment for the allowance for irrecoverable receivables at the year-end will lead to either a decrease or an increase in the allowance for irrecoverable receivables. How is either possibility shown in the income statement? Your answer should be 100 wds or fewer.
d. While Question 1 (a) and (b) is similar to what you can expect in Question 1 in the exam, there are some differences. Outline these differences. Briefly discuss how you would prepare for.
