FINAL ACCOUNTS
Prior
learning Drawing up simple income statement and balance sheets, statements of net worth from
spreadsheet; calculating profit for entrepreneurial activity in the GET phase.
The bookkeeping cycle that has been studied up to now is the recording process. All these records are be-
ing kept for a reason, i.e. to work out the profit or loss made by the business and to determine its financial
position. Hence the General Ledger, which is summarised into a trial balance, is used to draw up the Income
Statement and Balance Sheet.
In the accounting cycle, final accounts should be completed first and then re-written in a user friendly format
i.e. the Income Statement. However as the learners will have been exposed to the income statement in
grade 9, this is a good starting point to re-enforce the reason for drawing up the document.
Constantly ensure that all the time the learners understand why they are doing what they are doing. While
there are acceptable methods of setting out the information allow the learners time to understand why previ-
ously they got bogged down with the standard layout. This is just to ensure standards and to be able to
compare statements from different businesses and in different years.

(a) Assets e.g. Land & buildings, Vehicles, Equipment, Trading stock, Debtors control, Savings account,
Bank, Cash Float. Liabilities e.g. Loan: Nedbank, Creditors. Income e.g. Sales, Rent income. Ex-
pense e.g. Cost of sales, Salaries & wages, Water & electricity, Trading licence, Fuel, Stationery, Con-
sumable stores, Advertising.
(b) The Balance Sheet section of the trial balance includes Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Drawings.
(c) The Nominal section of the trial balance contains Income and Expenses.
(d) These items are placed in different sections in the trial balance to make it easier to draw up the Income
Statement and Balance Sheet.
(e) It is necessary to draw up the trial balance as well as the financial statements because they serve dif-
ferent purposes. The trial balance is used by the bookkeeper to help him/her check if any errors are
made in the ledger – if the totals of the trial balance do not agree, this will mean that an error has oc-
curred. The financial statements are used by other people and must be drawn up in a more professional
manner to reflect the gross profit, operating profit, net profit, non-current liabilities, current liabilities,
non-current assets, current assets and owner’s equity at the end of the year as all these different cate-
gories are needed for the users to analyse and to make decisions about the business.
10.2.2 Allow the learners to work on their statements already drawn up. They need to discuss if they think
the information should be recorded and if so, how. It is not important what they call the new entries –
the concept of making a double entry is what is important. Names can be sorted out later. The re-
port back is very important as this encourages the learners to consolidate and explain their reason-
ing. The following are for your guide only.

NET PROFIT 179 805
Note:
The increase in the value of land and buildings is not shown. If it is shown, this will result in an income
which results in an increase in profit. Tax is paid on the profit but remember that the business is not sell-
ing this asset, therefore tax is not payable. Capital gains tax also has a bearing on this calculation. Use
this example when you introduce the historical cost and prudence concepts later.
Calculation of interest on loan = 10 000 x 15% x /12 = R1 125 (the loan was only taken out on the 01
9
August 20.6 so interest must only be charged for 9 months). R1 125 is charged to the loan account:
Loan increases; Interest on loan increases.
Rent must be added on for April and is, therefore, money owing to the business.
Telephone might not have been paid but it has been used – this is an expense for the year.
The R300 stationery has not been used this year but will be used next year – this is an expense for next
year.
The R800 advertising is for next year, so must be deducted to work out this year’s profit.
10.2.4 Presentation.
Role-play is another method of assessing the learners and allows different expressions of thinking and ac-
commodates different intelligence (multi-intelligence). Allow the learners time to prepare and present a short
role play to depict the principles of GAAP.

Note:
The rent amount must be divided by 7. Rent has been received since 01 January plus one extra month.
Interest on fixed deposit for 3 months is owing. Although the fixed deposit has been invested since Jan-
uary 20.3, only the income earned in the current financial year is considered.
Note:
The second investment was only made on the 31 December 20.1 and therefore has not earned any in-
terest.
The other investment of R30 000 has only been invested for 6 months.
Due to the increase you cannot divide by 7. An extra R150 was received in December and January =
R300. Subtract this from the rent income of R13 040 (R13 040 - 300 = R12 740) and then divide by 7 to
12 740
determine the amount received in advance ( /7 = R1 820) plus add back the R150 increase in rent for
January = R1 820 + 150 = R1 970.
Depreciation on vehicles: 25% x R180 000 = R45 000.
Depreciation on equipment: (20% x R40 000) + (25% x R10 000 x 9/12) = R8 000 + R1 500 = R9 500.

Note:
R1 530 for insurance is an annual (12 months) premium which expires on 30 June. As the financial pe-
riod ends in February, 4 months are prepaid.
The vehicle expenses have not been paid but are an expense for this year.
R160 stationery will only be used next year. This can be regarded as expenses prepaid or consumable
stores on hand.
As the loan is in existence for the entire year, Optel Dealers has incurred an expense of 16% p.a. of
R80 000 = R12 800. This amount (R12 800) should have been added to the loan account as the interest
is capitalized in this case.

Note:
Deduct the R80 x 2 = R160 to cancel the increase in rent before you divide by 14 (2 months paid in ad-
vance). The rent paid in advance is at the new rate i.e. R800 + R80 = R880
As the R20 000 fixed deposit has been recorded, you need to divide into 2 fixed deposits i.e. R80 000 for
the year and R20 000 for 6 months i.e. 9 600 + 1 200 = R10 800. Since interest earned is not capital-
ised, the Income receivable/accrued account is debited (asset increases) and the Interest on fixed de-
posit account is credited (income increases).

The matching principle will have to be complied with. Income and expenses need to be matched in
the correct time period in order to produce reliable results.
10.29.7 No. The amount lost is too high and results in a loss of profit. This needs to be investigated. In-
ternal control measures need to be put in place in order to curb stock losses.

Post-Adjustment Trial Balance:
This is the Trial Balance that is drawn up after all the adjustments have been considered. It consists of Bal-
ance Sheet and Nominal accounts.
Post-Closing Trial Balance:
This Trial Balance consists only of the Balance Sheet accounts. The nominal accounts have been closed off
to the Final accounts.
Explanation:
(i) Expenses: 317 + 72 + 218 – 40 (discount allowed cancelled)
Increase Debtors by R1 280 + R40 = R1 320
Bank: 317 + 72 + 218 + 1 280 = R1 877
(ii) Vehicles: 190 600 x 20% = R38 120
Equipment: [94 000 – 27 600] x 15% = R9 960
Total: 38 120 + 9 960 = R48 080
(iii) Interest on loan
01:07:20.4 – 31:12:20.4:
6
90 000 x 15% x /12 = 6 750
01:01:20.5 – 30:06:20.5:
6
80 000 x 15% x /12 = 6 000
R12 750
R13 500 – 6 000 = R7 500
65
(iv) Bad debts: 980 x /35 = R1 820. Reduce Debtors by R980 + R 1820 = R2 800.
(v) 60 000 12 = R5 000
[5 000 x 8 = R40 000] + [5 000 + 10% x 4 = R22 000]
Total rent = 40 000 + 22 000
= R62 000
Amount owing = 62 000 – 60 000
= R2 000
(vi) Insurance = [3 000 x 10 = R30 000] + [42 000 12 x 2 = R7 000]
= R37 000
Amount owing = 37 000 – 36 000
= R1 000
(viii) Stock deceases by R4 000; Consumable stores (expense) decreases by R1 200; Expenses de-
crease by the total loss, i.e. R5 200.
Insurance claim: 75% x 5 200 = R3 900: Income receivable (asset) increases by R3 900; Expenses
increase by R3 900.
(x) Stock deficit: 78 210 – 4 000 – 71 398 = R2 812
(xi) Interest on fixed deposit
60 000 – 20 000 x 10% x /12 =
6 6
R2 000 + [60 000 x 10% x /12]
6
60 000 x 10% x /12 = R3 000
Total interest receivable = R5 000
(xiii) No entry as this has been recorded.
(xv) Advertising R1 326 3 x 2 = R884
Note to Teacher:
Net loss is R65 758 (expenses minus income). Add up the debits and credits of the Nominal accounts
section. The difference represents a net loss of R65 758 as the debits (expenses) are greater than the
credits (income).
The Capital balance in the Post-Closing Trial Balance is calculated as follows:
620 000 (Capital balance) – 65 758 (Net loss) - 81 233 (Drawings) = R473 009.

NOTE TO TEACHER:
Task 10.37 consolidates all aspects of year-end procedures. If you, as the teacher, wish to focus on any one
aspect, learners need not complete all seven parts of this task. For example, preparation of the final
accounts (10.37.4) would also involve understanding of the year-end adjustments.
Teachers might also require learners to revise adjusting journal entries using this task. For your assistance,
a summary of the adjusting journal entries follows.
Teachers might also want learners to use Task 10.37 to proceed toward completing the Balance Sheet, after
they have covered Module 10. Teachers may provide generic formats of the financial statements in this
case. In order to provide learners with the necessary information regarding Balance Sheet adjustments, this
information has been included in Task 10.37, e.g. Additional information no. 3 (increase in capital), no. 5
(maturing of fixed deposit), no. 8 (current portion of loan).
10.38.1 Pre-adjustment Trial Balance – provides assurance that the double entries in the books have
been properly done.
10.38.2 Post-adjustment Trial Balance – provides assurance that the double entries for adjustments have
been properly done.
10.38.3 Post-closing Trial Balance – provides assurance that the double entries for closing transfers have
been properly done.
10.38.4 Explain how the following amounts in the post-closing Trial Balance can easily be checked:
Fixed assets – check to Fixed Assets Register and check by physical inspection .
Financial assets – check to statements from financial institutions.
Trading stock – check to evidence of physical count and stock records.
Debtors control – check to debtors’ list from debtors’ ledger.
Cash at bank – check to bank reconciliation statement.
Creditors control – check to debtors’ list from debtors’ ledger.
Loan from a bank – check to loan statement.
10.38.5 Explain how the following amounts in the final accounts can easily be checked:
Rent expense – check by calculation of monthly rent X number of months.
Interest income – check calculation to statement from financial institution.
Depreciation – check to calculations in fixed assets register.
Trading stock deficit – check to evidence of physical count and stock records.
