3. ACCT1101 Accounting for Decision Making.Semester 2,2020 3
SOLUTION
(a)
CASH Paid to Suppliers = COGS + Ending Inventory – Beginning Inventory+ Beginning AP
–
- Ending AP
= 630,000 + 120,000 – 180,000 + 73,000 – 71,000 = $572,000
Cash Paid to employeed = Wages Expense + Begingin Wages payble – Ending Wages
payable
= (188,000-48,000) + 24,000 – 19,000 = $ 145,000
Payment of Other Expenses = Other Expense + beginning Expeneses – ending expenses
= 188,000 + 24,000 – 19,000 = $193,000
(b)
Cash flow form Investing Activity
Sale of property, plant and equipment = 170,000 – 162,000 = $8000
There is inflow of $8000 due to decrease in PPE

Question 2 (20 marks)
Ben’s Bargain has the following information that relates to the entity’s inventory record for the month
of April.
April Units Unit cost Total cost
1 Beginning inventory 300 $ 3.00 $ 900
12 Purchases 600 2.80 1 680
24 Purchases 700 2.70 1 890
Ben’s Bargain uses the periodic inventory system. A physical inventory count on 30 April showed
that 600 units were on hand.
Required
(a) Calculate the cost of April’s ending inventory using the following methods:
i. FIFO
ii. LIFO
iii. Weighted average cost (round to the second decimal place).
(11 marks)
(b) Which method resulted in the highest cost of ending inventory. (2 marks)
(c) Which method resulted in the highest gross profit – state the method only; you are not required
to perform any calculations. (2 marks)
(d) Discuss your answer to (c). Why did this method result in the highest gross profit? (5 marks)
SOLUTION
(a)
(i) FIFO ENDING Inventory= 600 * 2.7 = $1620
(ii) LIFO = 300*3 + 300*2.8 = 900+ 840 = $1740
(iii) Weighted Average = (300*3+600*2.8+700*2.7)/300+600+700 * 600 = $1676.25
5. ACCT1101 Accounting for Decision Making.Semester 2,2020 5
(b)
The LIFO is found to be highest cost of ending inventorybeocuse the inventorycost Is
Decreasing
(c)
The Lifo Will generate highest profit
(d)
The Lifo will provide highest profit, becouse it include cost of last purchase inventory
And according to trend cost is decreasing therefore, the cost of good sold is less and profit
Will be higher. In this question the last purchase inventorycost is 2.7 while first one is 3,
And According to LiFO Principle we include last in invenotry, hence the COGS is less
Compare to other methods

(b)
The Liquidity Ratio Include Current Ratio and Acid Test Ratio.
Current Ratio: the current is calulculate as current asset divide by current liability In the
given Situation, In 2019 The ratio was 1.3:1, It means that company has
130% of current asset to cover its 100% of its current liability, while in 2020 it shows ratio
Of 1.1:1, this means that now company have 110% of current asset to cover its 100%
Liability. The current ratio is below the industry average
Quick ratio: The quick ratio is more liquid becouse we deduct less liquid invenotryfrom
Current asset. In the given Situation The quick raito also worsened becouse previous we
Have 70% quick asset now we have only 50% quick asset to cover 100% of our current
Liability. The quick ratio is also below the industry average.
(c)
(i) It may be possible that the current asset decreased due to low
It may be possible that Current liability increase, bought inventory on account
(ii) It may be possible company cash and cash equivalent decreases
It may be possible that current liability increases
(iii) The profit margin may be improved becouse of low cost of goods sold
It may be possible that the operating expenses is less than previous year
(d)
The profit margin is calculated as profit/ Sales revenue
There are four possible reason of increase in profit margin

Profit 8.8 15.2
Required
(a) Critically evaluate the company’s profitability. Hint: you are expected to discuss all items as
well as their relationships where appropriate. (8 marks)
SOLUTION
(a)
Cost of Good sold: The cost of good sold is 73.6% of revenue in 2017 while in 2018 it will
become 65%, it is the reason for the increase in profit margin, plus gross profit margin also
increases due to this. The possible reason that company has chnaged their supplier and now they
are getting material in low rates or possibly company has achieved economies of scale.
Gross Profit : The gross profit ratio is increased by 8.6%, the only possible reason for this is
decrease in cost of goods sold becouse the gross profit is the difference of revenue and COGS
Expenses: The expenses ratio is increased by 2.2%, This also affect the profit margin ratio. Due to
this profit margin ratio is decreased by 2.2%. the possible reason for this may be increase tax
rates, increase utility expenses due increase in sales revenue.
Profit Margin: The profit margin is depended on two factors, cost of goods sold and expenses. In
this case the reason for the increase profit margin is decrease cost of goods sold while profit
margin decrease due to increase in expenses the net overall effect is profit margin increase by
6.4% increase.

3. Common size analysis is not useful when making comparisons between companies that are
very different in their scales of operation.
4. In the earlier years of a non-current asset’s useful life, the depreciation expense recognised
using the straight-line method will be lower than that recognised using the reducing balance
method.

explanation(s) to support your response, i.e. explain why the statement is true or false. (18 marks)
SOLUTION
1. False, Gearing ratio only tell us finacial leverage of company, The efficiencyof asset
is calculated by asset asset turnover ratio
2. False, Return on equity only tell us the efficiency of fund which is contributed by
owner or shareholder. Available funds may include may include liability
3. True, When company has different scale of operation, it cost might different
therefore less cost and high revenue. There will be different average cost
4. True, In first year in double declining method we double the rate hence in earlier year
depreciation expense is high in ddb and low in straight line
5. False, The cash flow from operating activities is not equal to profit beocouse add
back depreciation and adjust the current assset and liability changes
10. ACCT1101 Accounting for Decision Making.Semester 2,2020 10
6. False, Not all method use time factor, the unit of production method use machine
hour or other measure to depreciate the asset
7. False, The sales forcast is the starting point
8. True, The budgetarysystem based on different interelated budget
9. False, Strategic budget are the budget for long term planning while operating budget
are short term planing
