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 ValleyviewPlaygyms 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 she 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
