(e) Average receivable period; (f) Return on shareholders’ equity; (g) Net profit margin [1+ 6×1.5 =10]
[Answer: (a) NPAT = $57,000; (b) LR = 2.5:1; (c) DER = 66.67%;
(d) STR = 3.33 times; (e) ARP = 73 days; (f) ROSE = 12.5%; (g) NPM = 7.5%
SOLUTION
Given and working note:
Working capital |
= Current assets – Current liabilities |
$600,000 |
= Current assets – $200,000 |
Current assets |
= $800,000 |
Liquid assets |
= Current assets – Inventories – Prepaid expenses |
|
= 800,000 – 300,000 – Nil |
|
= $500,000 |
Capital employed |
= Shareholders’ equity + Long-term debt |
$10,00,000 |
= Shareholders’ equity + $400,000 |
Shareholders’ equity |
= $6,00,000 |
Operating profit |
= Operating profit ÷ Sales revenue |
10% |
= $1,00,000 ÷ Sales revenue |
Sales revenue |
= $10,00,000 |
(a) Net profit after tax
Net profit before tax (given) |
100,000 |
|
Less: Tax (1,00,000 x 25%) |
(25,000) |
|
Net profit after tax |
$75,000 |
|
(b) Liquid ratio
= Liquid assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $5,00,000 ÷ $2,00,000
= 2.5:1
(c) Debt equity ratio (DER)
= (Long-term debt ÷ Shareholders’ equity) x 100
= ($4,00,000 ÷ $6,00,000) x 100
= 0.6667 x 100
= 66.67%
(d) Stock turnover ratio (STR)
= Sales revenue ÷ Ending inventories
= $10,00,000 ÷ $3,00,000
= 3.33 times
(e) Average receivable period (ARP)
= (Account receivable x Days in a year) ÷ Credit sales
= ($2,00,000 x 365 days) ÷ $10,00,000
= 73 days
(f) Return on shareholders’ equity (ROSE)
= (Net profit after tax ÷ Shareholders’ equity) ÷ 100
= ($75,000 ÷ $6,00,000) x 100
= 0.125 x 100
= 12.5%
(g) Net profit margin (NPM)
= (Net profit after tax ÷ Sales revenue) x 100
= ($75,000 ÷ $10,00,000) x 100
= 0.075 x 100
= 7.5%

Total |

|
$2,810 |
|
|
Alternatively,
Weighted average cost (WAC)
= Cost of goods available for sales ÷ Units available for sales
= ($1,000 + $770 + $1,040) ÷ (1,000 + 700 + 800 units)
= $2,810 ÷ 2,500 units
= $1.124
Sold units = 1,100 + 400 +600 = 2,100 units
Sales revenue = 2,100 units x $2 = $4,200
Now,
Cost of goods sold |
= Sold units x WAC |
|
= 2,100 units x $1.124 |
|
= $2,360.40 |
|
|
Ending inventory cost |
= Cost of goods available for sales – Cost of goods sold |
|
= $2,810 – $2,360.40 |
|
= $449.60 |
|
|
Gross profit |
= Sales revenue – Cost of goods sold |
|
= $4,200 – $2,360.40 |
|
= $1,839.60 |

Now,
Ending inventory cost |
= Cost of goods available for sales – Cost of goods sold |
|
= $2,810 – $2,290 |
|
= $520 |
|
|
Gross profit |
= Sales revenue – Cost of goods sold |
|
= $4,200 – $2,290 |
|
= $1,910 |
Keep in Mind
Sold units are 2,100 units |
Therefore, 400* units are taken out of 800 units from Jul 27 to make equal 2,100 units. |
Q: 13 a. ABC Firm purchased a machine costing $200,000 on 1st January 2019. The useful life of the machine is 3 years with expected salvage value of $40,000.

Keep in Mind
Depreciation is charged on 31st December and invested this depreciation amount; so, NO interest in first year. |
At the end of second year, interest is received on investment; here interest = $53,753 x 5% = $2,538 |
Investment in year 2020 = Depreciation amount $50,753 + $2,538 interest = $53,291 |
Investment is sold at the end of 2021; therefore NO interest in the third year. |
Q: 13b. Explain the concept of accounting standard. Why is it needed? [2+3 = 5]
Accounting standards are common set of principles, standards and procedures.
They are issued by the accounting institutions.
By following accounting standards, financial statements can be prepared in uniform.
They improve the transparency of financial reporting in all countries.
Need of accounting standard
To eliminate doubt
As an accountant, there may be confusion while recording financial transactions.
What accounting treatment is to be used for a particular transaction?
Accounting standards eliminate these doubts.
To facilitate comparison
As an entrepreneur, the business person surely wants to compare financial statements with competitors.
If there were NO accounting standards, comparison would be difficult.
There may be different accounting treatments.
Thus, comparison becomes difficult.
Disclosure requirements
As a company, it has a responsibility to present financial statements to shareholders.
All the shareholders are NOT familiar with financial statements.
Therefore, some notes should be disclosed which helps to understand the financial statements.

Q: 14 b. Explain the concept of bonds and write down the main characteristics of bond. [5]
When a limited company issues bonds, they are known corporate bonds.
The government also issues bonds; they are known government bonds or municipality bonds.
Bonds are secured with the fixed assets of the company.
These bonds are issued by the companies for their expenses and future expansions.
The borrower pays interest at regular intervals.
The principal amount will be returned on maturity period; it is known as redemption of bonds.
In Nepal, debentures are more popular than bonds.
Usually the par value of a debenture is Rs 1,000 in Nepal.
The characteristics of bonds (write any for short answer question)
Principal

Q: 19. “Financial accounting is based on generally accepted accounting principles, which is enabled the preparation and presentation of financial statement uniformly.” Discuss. [15]
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
GAAP is a collection of commonly followed accounting principles, rules and standards for financial reporting.
The American Institute of Accountants (AIA) first used GAAP terminologies in 1936.
GAAP include definitions, concepts, principles as well as industry-specific rules.
The purpose of GAAP is to ensure that financial reporting is transparent and consistent (similar) from one organization to another.
GAAP represents a set of broad concepts and detailed practices.
It represents best accounting practices as it is accepted at a given time..
FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) uses GAAP as the foundation for its comprehensive set of approved accounting methods and practices.
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) also uses GAAP.
Because, all the basic rules and principles of accounting are based on GAAP.
Assumption about GAAP
There are four major assumptions about GAAP; while recording financial transaction, bookkeeper and accountant must follow these assumptions:
First assumption
The first assumption of GAAP is that the business entity and business owner is separate and distinct from each other.
Business records all its expenses in income statement as per business expenses.
Business owner record his expenses as drawing in his personal account.
It means all of the figures shown in the organization’s financial reports are specific only to that organization; there is not any expense related to business owner.
Second assumption
The second assumption is that the business is a going concern and it will not die (close).
But time is separated for every 12 months to prepare financial statements.
Third assumption
The third assumption is that amounts shown in the organization’s financial statements are stated in terms of a one currency.
All amounts are recorded in the same currency; it means an international company cannot report in a combination of rupees, dollars, euros, dinars, sterling or any currencies used in the countries in which the company operates.
Fourth assumption
The fourth assumption of GAAP is that the time period stated in financial reporting is accurate.
If the time period is identified as including 1 January to 31 December 31, then GAAP dictates that all transactions included in the report did indeed occur within the identified time period.
Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of all the private limited and limited companies are presented in specific formats.
They are income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
Other financial statements can be prepared as per the requirement of the business.
A financial period may be any period of 12 months.
