RTK BUDERIM MOWERS - BACKGROUND

Introduction

Ross Tiberius Kirk is the sole proprietor of RTK Buderim Mowers - a GST-registered independent Mower Sales and Service business. The business focuses solely on STNG mowers and equipment. It undertakes the promotion, sales and servicing of the mowers and equipment. Note that no small items that are required for the servicing of mowers or equipment are kept as inventory, this is because of the close proximity to a major auto parts shop and petrol station and most importantly the manufacturer STNG Manufacturing Ltd operates a same day delivery service for all parts. Such items are therefore purchased (on accounts payable or cash) as required and charged to the customer, this reduces costs and the need to hold inventory of small parts for servicing. The actual major items of equipment (mowers etc) are kept on the premises and are therefore inventory.

Ross prides himself on providing the highest quality mowers, ancillary equipment and service to his customers. Since its formation, the business has been relatively profitable. Ross now has a complement of staff looking after various aspects of the operations, and has three basic sections sales, servicing and administration. Currently, the business uses a manual accounting system managed by the accountant, LindaDatar. However, Ross has decided to use MS Excel spreadsheet software to maintain the accounting records for the transactions in the month of June 2016, which is the final month of the financial year.
