Paper For Above instruction

The assignment encompasses five comprehensive financial management and accounting questions requiring analysis, reporting, and evaluation of accounting data, financial ratios, internal control weaknesses, depreciation methods, equity transactions, funding strategies, and cost-volume-profit analysis. This paper provides an in-depth discussion and solution to each question, demonstrating proficiency in financial accounting, managerial accounting, internal controls, and financial analysis techniques.

Question 1: Adjusted Trial Balance, Income Statement, and Financial Position

The first task involves adjusting the unmodified trial balance for James Trading Pty Ltd based on four key adjustments: prepaid rent, accrued interest income, unbilled legal expenses, inventory valuation, and revenue recognition for services to be delivered over future months. Proper journal entries are required to reflect these adjustments, subsequently aiding in preparing accurate financial statements. The rent prepaid for three months totals $3,000 (as $1,000 per month), with the adjustment recognizing one month’s expense in June. Interest income earned but not recorded on a loan to J Harris must be accrued. Similarly, legal expenses estimated but not invoiced need recognition, and inventory count adjustments with the ending stock value of $8,500 influence the cost of goods sold. Revenue from services received in advance and delivered in June must be recognized proportionally.

Adjustments include:

• Prepaid rent: debit Rent Expense, credit Prepaid Rent for $1,000.
• Interest income: debit Interest Receivable, credit Interest Income.
• Legal expenses: debit Legal Expenses, credit Accounts Payable or accrued expenses.
• Closing inventory: debit Inventory, credit Cost of Goods Sold for $8,500.
• Unearned revenue: debit Cash, credit Unearned Revenue; then recognize earned revenue proportionally.

Following these adjustments, I will prepare the income statement reflecting the revised revenues and expenses, and the statement of financial position incorporating adjusted assets, liabilities, and equity.

Question 2: Financial Ratio Analysis of Luke Incorporated Pty Ltd

An evaluation of Luke Inc. involves calculating liquidity ratios such as the current ratio and quick ratio, profitability ratios like net profit margin and return on assets, and efficiency ratios including asset turnover. The current ratio compares current assets to current liabilities to assess short-term liquidity. The quick ratio provides a more stringent test by excluding inventory. Profitability ratios indicate profit margins relative to sales and assets, essential for understanding operational efficiency and profitability. These ratios inform on the firm's ability to meet short-term obligations, generate earnings on investments, and utilize assets effectively.

Using the provided figures, I will calculate:

• Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
• Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
• Net profit margin = Net Profit / Sales
• Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total Assets

Furthermore, I will analyze performance trends and compare ratios with industry benchmarks to assess the company's financial health, sustainability, and growth potential. Based on these findings, I will provide a clear recommendation on whether the company presents a viable venture for a prospective purchaser.

Question 3: Internal Control Weaknesses and Costing Concepts

Part a): The control weakness lies in James’s handling of multiple responsibilities—receipts, recording, and allowances—without adequate segregation of duties, creating opportunities for fraud or error. James’s process of recording allowances and forwarding remittance advices without oversight exposes the company to misappropriation of funds or inaccurate record-keeping. To correct this, I recommend segregating duties further: separate the responsibilities of cash handling, recording, and authorization of sales allowances. Implementing independent verification, regular reconciliations, and establishing controls over allowance approvals will strengthen internal controls and reduce risk.

Part b): Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life, reflecting the asset's usage and wear over time, not a cash expense or fund accumulation. Different depreciation methods impact the financial statements. For example, straight-line depreciation spreads costs evenly; declining balance accelerates depreciation in early years; units of production relates depreciation to actual usage. Using the provided asset data, I will calculate depreciation under each method, demonstrate the effect on profit and asset book value, and emphasize that depreciation influences taxable income and net profit, but does not involve cash flows.

Question 4: Equity Transactions and Financing Analysis

Part a): Journal entries include recording share issuance, reserves, dividends, share splits, and transfers to reserves. These entries affect share capital, retained earnings, and reserves, with dividends reducing retained earnings and share splits adjusting the number of shares outstanding. I will prepare a detailed ledger, update retained earnings, and then compile the equity section of the balance sheet, showing the dynamic changes over the period. The dividend payout ratio is calculated as dividends paid divided by net income, while return on shareholders’ equity considers net income relative to average shareholders’ equity.

Part b): For Investors Ltd., two financing strategies are considered: debt at 8% interest versus issuing 100,000 shares at $25 each. I will calculate expected returns on equity for each, considering projected profits before tax, tax effects, and interest costs. Additionally, I will discuss other factors: debt increases financial leverage, risk of insolvency, and impact on credit ratings, whereas issuing shares dilutes ownership but may improve financial stability. A holistic comparison informs the decision-making process.

Question 5: Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis and Strategies

The analysis involves calculating the break-even point in units and dollars for 2007 and evaluating the impact of proposed strategies for 2008. Using the contribution margin per unit, fixed costs, and sales data, I will compute the break-even volume and assess how changes—such as price increase, incentive adjustments, and new equipment—alter fixed and variable costs, thereby shifting the break-even point. For each alternative, I will recalculate the break-even quantity, highlighting how operational decisions influence profitability.

Supplementary data, including company assets, liabilities, and equity over multiple periods, will support evaluations of financial stability, efficiency, and growth prospects. This comprehensive approach aligns with managerial accounting principles and provides actionable insights for strategic decision-making.
