Sales Tax
n

Definition
A business' sales and purchases are often subject to sales tax. This is an indirect
ga 财
tax, as it is not levied directly on the individual like personal income tax. Sales
un
tax is collected by traders who charge it on the goods they sell to the customer.
a. 顿
A business charges sales tax on its sales (output tax) and suffers sales tax on its
purchases (input tax). Typically, a business which is registered for sales tax
cc 高
only needs to make a payment to the tax authorities of the net amount of sales
tax (i.e. sales tax owed on outputs less sales tax suffered on inputs).
ILLUSTRATION
n
Sales tax is a cumulative tax, collected at various stages of a product's life. In the
od 经
illustrative example below, a manufacturer of a television buys materials and
.c
components and then sells the television to a wholesaler, who in turn sells it to a retailer,
who then sells it to a customer. It is assumed that the rate for sales tax is 15% on all
ga 财
items. All the other figures are for illustration only.

As the business is purely collecting the sales tax for the tax authorities, and is able to set
off its sales tax suffered it does not include sales tax as either an expense or income in
the statement of profit or loss. The sales tax is accounted for when the transaction occurs.

Irrecoverable sales tax
n
od 经
.c
In some tax regimes, sales tax on certain inputs is never recoverable. For example, sales tax
on business entertaining or on cars may not be recoverable. In this case the tax is a genuine
expense of the business and is charged to the statement of profit or loss or included in the
ga 财
un
cost of an asset to be depreciated. For example, the double entry for buying a car where the
sales tax is irrecoverable would be:
a. 顿

sales for the year amounted to $100,000 (20,000 umbrellas). At 30 September
a. 顿
there were 10,000 unsold umbrellas left in inventory, valued at $2 each.

What was Perry P Louis's gross profit for the year?
Answer
n
Perry P Louis purchased 30,000 umbrellas, but only sold 20,000. Purchase costs
od 经
.c
of $60,000 and sales of $100,000 do not represent the same quantity of goods.
The gross profit for the year should be calculated by 'matching' the sales value
ga 财
of the 20,000 umbrellas sold with the cost of those 20,000 umbrellas. The cost of
un
sales in this example is therefore the cost of purchases minus the cost of goods

FIFO VS AVCO
n
(a) FIFO
od 经
.c
Under FIFO it is assumed that:
(i) First goods purchased/produced will be the first to be sold
ga 财
(ii) Remaining inventories are the from the most recent purchases/production.
un
(b) Average Cost (AVCO)
a. 顿
There are two average costs available:
(i) Simple average cost
The cost of all purchases/production during the year is divided by the total
cc 高
number of units purchased
(ii) Weighted average cost
The weighted average of the cost of similar items is recalculated each time a
new item is purchased/produced during the period (IAS 2 requires the weighted
average to be used).
Lecture Example

If you are preparing financial accounts you would normally expect to use FIFO or AVCO for the valuation of
od 经
inventory. IAS 2 Inventories does not permit the use of LIFO. You should note furthermore that terms such as
.c
AVCO and FIFO refer to pricing techniques only. The actual components can be used in any order.

Receipts mean goods are received into store and issues represent the issue of goods from store.
The problem is to put a valuation on the following.
(a) The issues of materials
(b) The closing inventory
How would issues and closing inventory be valued using FIFO and AVCO?
Answer FIFO(first in, first out)
n
FIFO assumes that materials are issued out of inventory in the order in which they were
od 经
delivered into inventory, ie issues are priced at the cost of the earliest delivery remaining in
.c
inventory.
The cost of issues and closing inventory value in the example, using FIFO, would be as follows.

There are various ways in which average costs may be used in pricing inventory
.c
issues. The most common (cumulative weighted average pricing) is illustrated below.
The cumulative weighted average pricing method calculates a weighted average
ga 财
price for all units in inventory. Issues are priced at this average cost, and the balance
un
of inventory remaining would have the same unit valuation.
A new weighted average price is calculated whenever a new delivery of
a. 顿
materials into store is received. This is the key feature of cumulative weighted
average pricing.
In our example, issue costs and closing inventory values would be as follows.

Revaluation Model VS Cost Model

If an entity owns a property it may notice that its value increases over time.
od 经
.c
IAS 16 requires tangible non-current assets to initially be recorded at cost. The entity can
then either keep the asset at cost (and depreciate it) or choose to revalue it (depreciation is
ga 财
un
still required).
This is a choice of accounting policy
a. 顿
If an entity chooses a policy of revaluation then all items in the same class of assets
must be revalued.
cc 高
Examples of classes of assets are:
• Land and buildings
• Plant and machinery
• Motor vehicles
Revaluations must be carried out sufficiently often so that the assets carrying
value is not materially different from its market value.

How should each of the above items be shown in the financial statements for the
year ended 31 August 20X8?
Answer
n
1. Market research would take place at an early stage in any development process.
od 经
.c
Its purpose is to gather information about whether there may be interest in a
potential product. At this point in time an entity cannot be certain that the
ga 财
expenditure will lead to profits and so the costs are research costs. $20,000
un
should be shown as an expense in the statement of profit or loss.
2. A machine is a tangible non-current asset and is accounted for under IAS 16
a. 顿
regardless of its use. The $100,000 should be capitalised as a tangible non-
current asset and depreciated over its useful life of 10 years.
cc 高
3. Material costs and design and manufacture salaries are part of the development
process. They should be capitalised as an intangible non-current asset provided
that all of the 'PIRATE' criteria are met. The costs should be amortised in 20X9
once the car is available to be sold on the market.
Amortization
n
A tangible non-current asset, such as a machine, is capitalised and then
od 经
.c
depreciated over its useful life. This is to allocate its costs over the accounting
periods which benefit from its use.
ga 财
un
In the same way development expenditure which is incurred now will
generate revenue and profits in the future.
a. 顿
The cost of the development expenditure should be matched against the
revenue it produces. This is called amortisation
cc 高
The 'depreciable amount' (cost less residual value) should be amortised over
the useful life in the same way that revenues are expected to be generated.

The associated risks of offering credit facilities to customers are slow
payment or even non-payment.

Definition
n
od 经
.c
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
ga 财
un
a. 顿
cc 高
Recognition
n
A provision should only be recognised (ie. included in the
od 经
.c
financial statements) when:
a) An entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as
ga 财
un
a result of a past event;
b) It is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be
a. 顿
required to settle the obligation; and
c) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Unless all three conditions are met, no provision
cc 高
can be recognised.
Legal obligation
n
od 经
.c
A legal obligation usually arises out of a contract or a
ga 财
piece of legislation.
un
a. 顿
cc 高
ILLUSTRATION
n
od 经
.c
Grass Co sells lawnmowers and offers a one-year warranty on all
models.
ga 财
un
Once Grass Co sells a lawnmower (the past event) it has a legal
obligation to repair any defects according to the warranty agreement.
a. 顿
It should therefore make an estimate of the probable costs of repair
cc 高
and make a provision for this amount in its financial statements.
Constructive obligation
n
od 经
.c
A constructive obligation arises through past behaviour and
actions where the entity has raised a valid expectation that
ga 财
un
it will carry out a particular action.
a. 顿
cc 高
ILLUSTRATION
n
od 经
Seed Co also sells lawnmowers. It does not offer a warranty on its
.c
products; however it has a reputation for making free reasonable
repairs to lawnmowers bought from the business.Customers buying
ga 财
un
from Seed Co all expect to receive this benefit.
a. 顿
Here no warranty is offered and so Seed Co does not have a legal
obligation. Its past actions however have created a constructive
cc 高
obligation. It should also therefore make a provision for the
probable costs of repairs.
Probable outflow
n
od 经
.c
Probable is defined as ‘more likely than not to occur’. This
ga 财
can be interpreted as a greater than a 50% chance of
un
occurring
a. 顿
cc 高
Measurement
n
od 经
.c
The amount recognised as a provision shall be the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation.
ga 财
un
If there is uncertainty surrounding the amount:
• for a large population of items, the expected value should be
a. 顿
used;
• for a single obligation, the individual most likely outcome may
cc 高
be the best estimate of the liability.
Accounting treatment
n
od 经
The provision represents both a cost to the business and a potential liability:

Lecture Example
n
od 经
Grass Co is reviewing its warranty obligations. Based on sales during 20X7 it
.c
has established that if all lawnmowers sold required minor repairs this would
cost $1m whereas if major repairs were required this would cost $6m.
ga 财

Grass Co expects that 75% of lawnmowers will have no faults, 20% will need
minor repairs and 5% major repairs.

a. 顿
a) What provision should be made in 20X7 and what accounting entry is
needed to record it?
cc 高
b) What entry should be made in 20X8 assuming the provision required then
is $0.75m?
c) What entry should be made in 20X9 assuming the provision required then
is $0.3m?
Answer
n
od 经
(a) A provision should be made using expected values:
.c
($1m × 20%) + ($6m × 5%) = $0.5m
Dr Warranty cost expense (SPL) $0.5m
ga 财
un
Cr Provisions (SOFP) $0.5m
(b) In 20X8 the provision needs to increase by $0.25m ($0.75m – $0.5m).
a. 顿
Entry is:
Dr Warranty cost expense (SPL) $0.25m
Cr Provisions (SOFP) $0.25m
cc 高
(c) In 20X9 the provision needs to decrease by $0.45m ($0.75m – $0.3m).
Entry is
Dr Provisions (SOFP) $0.45m
Cr Warranty cost expense (SPL) $0.45m
Contingent liabilities
n
A contingent liability is an uncertain liability that does not meet the three
od 经
.c
criteria for recognising a provision.
IAS 37 defines a contingent liability as the following:
ga 财
a) A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose
un
existence will be confirmed only the occurrence or non-occurrence of
one or more uncertain future event not wholly within the control of the
a. 顿
entity; or
b) A present obligation that arises from past events but is not
recognised because:
cc 高
I. It is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be
required to settle the obligation; or
II. The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient
reliability.
Contingent liabilities should be disclosed in the notes unless probability
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
ILLUSTRATION
n
od 经
Company A has entered into an agreement to act as guarantor on a bank
.c
loan taken out by Mr Smith. Mr Smith is a financially secure individual,
and the directors are of the opinion that the chances of him defaulting on
ga 财
un
the loan are slim.
How should company A account for this guarantee?
a. 顿
Company A has a present obligation (it is legally obliged to honour the
guarantee). However, as the likelihood of Company A having to pay out
cc 高
under the guarantee is not probable then no provision for the liability should
be made. Instead, the guarantee should be disclosed in the notes as a
contingent liability (unless considered remote, in which case it should be
ignored altogether).
Lecture Example
n
od 经
.c
Edward Co owns a chain of supermarkets. In the year ended 30 September 20X5, a
customer slipped on a spilt yoghurt in one of the supermarkets and was seriously injured.
Prior to the year end, the customer began legal proceedings seeking damages from
ga 财
un
Edward Co. Edward Co’s lawyers have stated that there is a 30% chance that Edward
Co will win the case and if they lose, damages of $50,000 are likely.
a. 顿
Which of the following is the correct accounting treatment for the legal proceedings
in the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X5?
A
B
cc 高
Edward Co should neither provide for nor disclose the legal proceedings
Edward Co should provide for the expected cost of the damages of $50,000
C Edward Co should provide for an expected cost of $15,000
D Edward Co should disclose a contingent liability of $50,000
Answer
n
od 经
.c
B
There is a present legal obligation and the outflow is probable because
ga 财
the lawyers believe that there is more than a 50% chance of Edward Co
un
losing the case. As there is a single obligation, the provision should be
a. 顿
measured at the most likely outcome of $50,000.
cc 高
Contingent assets
n
od 经
A possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be
.c
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity.
ga 财
un
Contingent assets should be disclosed in the notes where an inflow of
economic benefits is probable, otherwise they should be ignored.
a. 顿
If the probability of an inflow of economic benefits is virtually certain then
the asset is not a contingent asset and should be recognised in the financial
statements. cc 高

Preference shares
n
There are two types of preference shares – redeemable (the company is
od 经
.c
obliged to repay the nominal value of the shares at a later date) and
irredeemable (no obligation to repay).
ga 财
un
In substance, redeemable preference shares behave like debt because they
contain an obligation, meeting the Conceptual Framework definition of a
a. 顿
liability. Therefore, they should be treated as a liability (non-current until one
year before redemption) in the statement of financial position and the
dividends should be treated as a finance cost (i.e. interest) in the statement of
profit or loss.
cc 高
Irredeemable preference shares contain no obligation so should be treated
as equity i.e. in the same way as ordinary shares. The dividends should be
treated as an appropriation of profit (see below).
Accounting treatment
n
Dividends on ordinary shares and irredeemable preference shares are
od 经
.c
charged directly to retained earnings as they are an appropriation of
profits earned to date. They are not an expense in the statement of profit or
ga 财
loss.
un
The double entry for dividends on ordinary shares and irredeemable
a. 顿
preference shares is:
Dr Retained earnings (SOFP)

Introduction
n
od 经
This is designed to enable you to explain and apply the approach to
.c
identifying and correcting errors through the use of bank reconciliations.
ga 财
The cash book is used to record the detailed transactions of receipts and
un
payments into and out of the bank account. These are then posted to the
nominal ledger periodically using
a. 顿
double entry. At the end of each accounting period, the balance on the
cash book should equal the balance in the nominal ledger cash account.
cc 高
Bank statements provide an independent record of the balance on the
bank account but this balance is unlikely to agree exactly to the cash
book balance – therefore a reconciliation is
Difference reasons
n
Differences essentially occur for three reasons:
od 经
.c
(a) Timing differences:
I. Outstanding lodgements/deposits credited after date
(money paid into the bank by the business but not yet
ga 财
un
appearing as a receipt on bank statement)
II. Unpresented/outstanding cheques (cheques paid out by
a. 顿
business which have not yet appeared on bank statement).
(b) Errors by the business (i.e. in the cash book):
I. Omissions, such as:
standing orders
direct debits
cc 高
bank charges Dishonoured cheque
interest
II. Transposition errors
III. Casting errors
(c) Errors by the bank.
Identification
n
od 经
In the books of the business:
.c
POSITIVE BANK BALANCE = ASSET = DEBIT
ga 财
un
NEGATIVE BANK BALANCE (OVERDRAFT) = LIABILITY = CREDIT
But from the bank’s point of view:
a. 顿
POSITIVE BALANCE = LIABILITY = CREDIT (the bank owes you your money)
cc 高
NEGATIVE BALANCE (OVERDRAFT) = ASSET = DEBIT
(you owe the bank ∴ this is an asset for the bank)

Suspense accounts
n
Definition
od 经
.c
A suspense account is a temporary account. They never appear in
the final accounts.
ga 财
un
It is used for two main reasons:
1. To account for a debit or credit entry when the accountant is unsure
a. 顿
as to where it should go
2. To make a preliminary trial balance balance when an error has been
detected. cc 高
Steps to clear a suspense account.
1. Determine the original accounting entry which was made.
2. Decide what entry should have been made.
3. Make the required adjustment
Illustration
n
W Co sold goods with a value of $2,500 to James, a credit customer. When
od 经
.c
recording the sale W Co posted the transaction to the correct accounts but made
two debit entries.
Steps
ga 财
un
(1) Entry made was:
Dr Trade receivables $2,500
Dr Sales $2,500
a. 顿
(2) Entry should have been:
Dr Trade receivables $2,500
Cr Sales $2,500
(3) Correction: cc 高
The trade receivables entry is correct but sales have been debited by $2,500
when they should have been credited by that amount.
The correction is therefore twice the original error:
Dr Suspense account $5,000
Cr Sales (2 × $2,500) $5,000
Being: correction of sales posting.

Both K and M are subsidiaries even though J owns less than 50% of

by another entity. J has control over K because of the management
agreement giving J responsibility for all key operating and

Information gap

The parent company’s shareholders will only have access to the parent’s
separate financial statements (not the subsidiary’s financial statements).
ga 财
un
Therefore they will only be able to see the investment as cost in the statement
of financial position and dividend income in the statement of profit or loss and
a. 顿
other comprehensive income. They will not be able to see the impact of the
parent’s control over the net assets and profit of the subsidiary.
cc 高
The purpose of group financial statements is to bridge the information gap.
Provided the parent has a controlling influence, it is required to produce an
additional set of financial statements which aim to record the substance of its
relationship with its subsidiaries (single economic entity) rather than its
strict legal form (separate legal entities).

Fair value of net assets acquired
.c
Assets and liabilities in an entity's own financial statements are often not stated
ga 财
at their fair value, e.g. where the entity's accounting policy is to use the cost
un
model for assets. If the subsidiary's financial statements are not adjusted to their
fair values, where, for example, an asset's value has risen since purchase, goodwill
a. 顿
would be overstated (as it would include the increase in value of the asset).
Under IFRS 3 the net assets acquired are therefore required to be brought into the
cc 高
consolidated financial statements at their fair value rather than their book value.
The difference between fair values and book values is a consolidation adjustment
made only for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements.

Importance and purpose of interpretation of financial statements
n
od 经
The financial statements of a company are designed to provide users with

information about its performance and financial position. The figures by
themselves, however, are not particularly useful and it is only through
ga 财
un
comparisons (usually with ratios) that their significance can be
established. This will then enable the end user to make an informed
decision.
a. 顿
Comparisons may be made with:
cc 高
• Previous financial periods

There are a number of users of a company’s financial statements.

Ratio analysis
n
Accounting ratios help to summarise and present financial information
od 经
.c
in a more understandable form. Once calculated, they can then be
interpreted to give an indication of the company's performance and
ga 财
position. The ratios can be split into the following categories:
un
I. Profitability
II. Liquidity
a. 顿
III. Efficiency
IV. Position
cc 高
Ratios do not give us much information when taken in isolation. In
order for them to be useful, we need to have something to compare
them to such as previous periods, similar businesses or industry
averages.
Profitability ratios

n
Operating profit margin
od 经
.c
Profit before interest and taxation
Operating profit margin = × 100%

ga 财

Profit before interest and taxation (PBIT) is used because it avoids distortion when
comparisons are made between two different companies where one is heavily
a. 顿

capital.
The extra consideration for the operating margin over the gross margin is how well

This ratio measures a company’s ability to pay its current liabilities

Working capital (current assets – current liabilities) is needed by all
companies in order to finance day-to-day trading activities.

.c
Current assets - inventories
Quick ratio (liquid capital ratio or acid test) =

un
This is similar to the current ratio except that it omits the inventories
a. 顿
figure from current assets. This is because inventories are the least
liquid current asset that a company has, as it has to be sold, turned
into receivables and then the cash has to be collected.
cc 高
A ratio of less than 1:1 could indicate that the company would have
difficulty paying its debts as they fall due.

This ratio measures the number of days inventories are held by a company on
un
average.
This figure will depend on the type of goods sold by the company.
a. 顿
A company selling fresh fruit and vegetables should have a low inventory
holding periods as these goods will quickly become inedible.
A manufacturer of aged wine will by default have very long inventory holding
cc 高
periods. It is important for a company to keep its inventory days as low as
possible, subject of course to being able to meet its customers' demands.

Receivables collection period (days) = × 365 days

ga 财

This ratio shows, on average how long it takes for the trade receivables to settle
their account with the company. The average credit term granted to customers
should be taken into account as well as the efficiency of the credit control function

within the company.

od 经
.c
Trade payables
Payables payment period (days) = × 365 days

ga 财
un
This ratio is measuring the time it takes the company to settle its trade
payable balances.
Trade payables provide the company with a valuable source of short term
a. 顿
finance, but delaying payment for too long a period of time can cause
operational problems as suppliers may stop providing goods and services
until payment is received.

A significant change may be due to:
• Increased/ decreased credit terms from suppliers
• Increase/ decrease in cash
• Better/ worse management of the payables ledger.

The interest cover ratio considers the number of times a

much debt finance that it risks not being able to settle the debt as
it falls due.

Gearing = Non – current liabilities
Total equity + Non – current liabilities
ga 财

Gearing is concerned with the long-term financial stability of the
a. 顿

Debt is cheaper than equity as interest is tax deductible but the higher

the gearing ratio, the less secure the financing of the company will be
and possibly the company’s future.
