The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of an asset, less its residual value, over its productive
(economic) life.

10

When deciding the method of calculating depreciation the following factors are relevant:
Pattern of usage If the main value from the asset is obtained during its earliest years then it might be
appropriate to use reducing balance.
Life of the asset The time period in which wear and tear, obsolescence or depletion takes place.

Relevant comments could include:

It is difficult to judge the success of the expansion over such a short period of time.

The profitability ratios have deteriorated.

The reduction in the gross profit percentage could be due to difficult trading conditions or that the selling prices have
been lowered to generate sales.

The deterioration in the net profit percentage is partly due to the reduced gross profits.

The rate of inventory turnover has improved which might suggest that profitability in the future will improve.

The quick ratio has improved, this is partly due to the increase in cash which may indicate that not all the cash raised
from issuing the debentures has been invested.

The receivables collection period has increased which may indicate poor credit control, or longer credit terms being
offered to customers, or increased sales due to the success of the expansion.
Marking scheme
1 mark for each relevant comment up to a maximum of 7 marks.

(c)

Some of the factors Egriff should consider when deciding whether to raise finance by loan notes rather than issuing more
shares:
1

Loan notes pay a fixed level of interest. Therefore, the company will find budgeting for the cash flows straight-forward.

Loan note holders are non-current creditors of the company and therefore do not control the company, unlike
shareholders who own the company and will be able to vote on issues affecting the company.

If company profits fall then share dividends do not have to be paid. However, the interest on loan notes will still have
to be paid regardless of the level of profit.

Shareholders will often expect dividend payments to grow over time, therefore increasing the costs to the company.

If the company was to be wound up then loan note holders would rank higher than ordinary shareholders.

Marking scheme
1 mark for each relevant comment up to a maximum of 4 marks.

On 31 August 2003 Christine decided to leave the partnership due to ill health. Hannah joined the partnership on
1 September 2003 and introduced $250,000 as capital and also paid $210,000 for a 30% share of the goodwill.
Goodwill, which is not to be reported in the balance sheet, is agreed to be worth $700,000. After Hannahs admission
to the partnership it was agreed the profits and losses would be shared as follows:
Angela

at a rate of 5% per annum up to the year end. The loan interest was paid to her on 31 May 2004.
(d) The partnerships freehold property is to be revalued upwards by $350,000 and it is agreed that the freehold

Notes on Tressvens ratios
Ratio

Tressven

Hilladay

Comment on the ratio calculated

Dividend per share

20c

10c

The level of dividend per share available to Tressven


shareholders is double that available to Hilladay. This
may suggest a generous level of dividend which will
please shareholders in the short term.

Dividend cover

11

The level of dividend does not appear to be justified by


the available profit. It also suggests that this level of
dividend may not be sustainable in the future.

Earnings per share

22c

20c

The EPS for Tressven is similar to Hilladays EPS.


However, Hilladay has retained half its earnings for
future investment. This is not the case for Tressven
and would suggest profit levels may stagnate.

Price earnings ratio

67

134

A comparison of the PE ratio suggests that investors


are keener to invest in Hilladay than Tressven. This may
be because of concerns regarding the future profitability of
Tressven.

Debt/equity ratio

3%

15%

The gearing ratio for Tressven seems low in comparison


with Hilladay. It may be that Tressven is not borrowing
sufficiently to invest in the future of the company.
Alternatively Hilladay may have high borrowings.

Interest cover

254

100

Tressven can comfortably afford to meet its interest


charges, so can Hilladay. This suggests that Tressven
could afford to increase its borrowing to invest.

There should be some evidence of trying to interpret the ratios, while acknowledging the limitations of the information
available. Other comments, if appropriate, will also be given credit.
1 mark for making a relevant comment about each ratio up to 6 marks.

The accounting treatment for goodwill as required by IFRS 3


At the date of acquisition the acquirer recognises goodwill as an intangible asset. On an ongoing basis goodwill is measured
at cost and is assessed for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 at least annually. When a recoverable amount write-down
is required that write-down is taken through the income statement in the period in which it is identified.

Comment on the financial position of Snowdrop as shown by the cash flow statement
There has been a net outflow of cash $228,000 which has left the company with an overdraft of $58,000.
There was significant expenditure on non-current assets of $2,800,000 during the year. This should help improve
operational efficiency and future profitability.
Additional ordinary shares were issued which resulted in a cash inflow of $1,280,000. This will result in future cash
outflows in the form of dividends.
Long term loans of $100,000 were repaid which will reduce interest payments in future.
There has been an increase in receivables of $130,000 which may mean customers are taking longer to pay and
consequently having an adverse impact on cash flows.

Brief Report
To:
From: A CAT Student
Date June 2005
Subject: Financial Appraisal of F. Raser Using Accounting Ratios
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to analyse the financial performance of F. Raser over the last three years using accounting ratios.
The report specifically comments on the following ratios:

Return on capital employed;


Gross profit percentage;
Net profit percentage;
Quick/acid test ratio;
Receivables collection period; and
Earnings per share

The report also highlights what other information would be useful to help interpret the ratios.
Return on capital employed
The return on capital employed has declined over the last three years from 162% to 139% and is now well below the
industry average (162%). This should be a cause for concern to the board of directors because if investors can obtain a
higher return elsewhere then they may withdraw their investment. Alternatively they may seek to change the management
board. It would be helpful to have more information on the market in which F. Raser operates e.g. is the market growing or
declining, are there many buyers and sellers or just a few.

17
FOR FREE CAT & ACCA RESOURCES VISIT: http://kaka-pakistani.blogspot.com

Gross profit percentage


The gross profit percentage has risen over the period from 304% to 375%. Clearly the company has either
(i)

increased the selling price of its goods, e.g. perhaps it is able to sell at a premium because of perceptions regarding the
quality of the goods sold.

(ii)

reduced the cost of its supplies. Possibly changing suppliers or obtaining greater discounts as sales volume has
increased.

It would be useful to know what the company is selling and the volume of sales analysed by product and year.
Net profit percentage
The net profit percentage has declined over the period from 193% to 156% and is significantly below the industry average
of 173%. This is worrying considering the increase in the gross profit percentage over the same period. The decline in the
net profit percentage suggests that the costs may not be tightly controlled within the company. More detailed information on
expenditure during the period would be helpful in identifying the reasons for the decline in profitability.
Quick (or acid test) ratio
The quick ratio has also declined significantly during the period from 15 to 067 suggesting the company may be
experiencing liquidity problems. This view is also supported when the ratio is compared to the industry average which is over
double that of F. Raser. The level of inventory may be a concern as it is tying up cash. More information on the type of
inventory and the level of inventory turnover would be useful.
Receivables collection period
The time taken to collect debts has increased over the period from 32 days to 57 days. This seems very high when compared
to the industry average debt collection period of just 35 days. The ratio suggests that there is little control over debt collection.
In addition, the lengthening of the collection period means it is more likely that some debts will not be paid by customers.
The poor control over debt collection will be a factor contributing to the adverse liquidity situation of the company.
Earnings per share
The earnings per share deteriorated over the period from 18c per share to 10c per share. This level of EPS is also significantly
below the industry average and it is likely to discourage potential investors from investing in the company and may not be
sufficient to keep existing shareholders.
Conclusion
Although the company has managed to increase its gross profit over the period, this has not resulted in a similar increase in
net profit. In summary the ratios indicate poor internal control of costs and poor management of working capital. The return
on capital employed and the EPS ratios are unlikely to be sufficiently attractive to potential investors or to existing
shareholders.

(c)

Inter-company trading and consolidation


The companies within a group are separate legal entities and therefore may treat other companies within the group the same
as any other customers. For example, in this question, Phly has purchased goods from Spyder.
The accounts of Spyder will show a profit earned on sales to Phly and similarly Phlys balance sheet will include inventory at
the cost purchased from Spyder. There are two accounting issues that need to be addressed when preparing the group
accounts:
(i)
(ii)

Although Spyder has made a profit on the goods it has sold to Phly, the group has not made a sale, or any profit, until
an outside customer buys the goods from Phly.
Any purchases that remain unsold by Phly at the end of the year will be included in Phlys inventory. Their balance sheet
value will be their cost to Phly, which is not the same as to the group.

The only profits to be recognised should be those made by the group in providing goods to third parties. Inventory in the
consolidated balance sheet should also be valued at the cost to the group. Thus, the $12 million of Spyders profit in Phlys
closing inventory is unrealised from the groups perspective and is eliminated in full upon consolidation.
There may also be receivables and payables within a group. In these circumstances these internal balances are cancelled.
For example in this question Phly is indebted to Spyder for $25 million. Therefore Phly has a payable on its balance sheet of
$25 million and Spyder has a receivable of $25 million on its balance sheet. When the accounts are consolidated the two
balances are cancelled.
Marking scheme
Up to 3 marks for identifying the issue of unrealised profit on inventory, explaining how they are treated on consolidation and
using an example from the question.
Up to 3 marks for identifying the issue of internal receivables and payables, explaining how they are treated on consolidation

Comment
Cromby has been able to achieve a significantly higher gross profit
percentage than Aber. This may be due to a number of factors; for
example, Cromby may be operating at the luxury (branded) end of the
leisurewear market, consequently it may be able to charge its
customers a premium price for its goods. Cromby may also be able
to obtain good discounts from its suppliers for bulk purchases.
Alternatively, Aber may have expensive suppliers, with high costs
associated with carriage inwards.

118%

63%

Abers return on capital employed is nearly double that of Cromby.


This might suggest that Aber is managed more efficiently than
Cromby. Certainly Abers return represents a reasonable return when
compared to current market borrowing rates. However, more
information is needed; for example are the property assets of both
businesses correctly valued?

92c

40c

Aber has a higher EPS than Cromby and from a shareholders


perspective, Aber would be considered a better investment.
It would be useful to have the previous years EPS figures so that any
trends could be identified.

There should be some evidence of trying to interpret the ratios, while acknowledging the limitations of the information
available. Other comments, if appropriate, will also be given credit.

(c)

Limitations of ratio analysis:


1
2
3
4
5

The accounting information used to prepare the ratios may be out of date.
Usually the information presented in the published accounts is summarised, making a detailed analysis impossible.
Price changes over time make year on year comparisons difficult.
Changes in accounting policies from year to year may produce misleading ratios.
Different businesses use different accounting policies. This may make direct comparisons difficult.

Marking scheme
1 mark for each limitation that is explained up to 5 marks (other examples may be given).

(a)

(i)

Going Concern Concept


The going concern concept implies that the business will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future,
and that there is no intention to put the company into liquidation or make drastic cutbacks to the scale of operation.
This concept has a major influence on the assumptions made when evaluating particular items in the balance sheet.
For example assets are not normally shown at net realisable value because they are expected to be kept in the business
for future use.
2 marks

(ii)

Accruals Concept
The accruals concept requires that revenue and costs are recognised as they are earned or incurred, not when the money
is received or paid. They must be matched with one another so far as their relationship can be established or justifiably
assumed and dealt with in the income statement of the period to which they relate.
2 marks

(iii) Reliablity
Accounting information must be reliable if it is to be useful. In accounting terms this means the information should be
free from material error and bias. The user must be able to depend on it being a faithful representation.
2 marks
(iv) Understandability
Users of financial statements must be able to understand them. However, it is assumed they have some business,
economic and accounting knowledge and they are able to apply themselves to study the information provided properly.
The complex matters of financial statements should not be left out simply because of their difficulty, if it is relevant
information.
2 marks
(b)

The arguments for having accounting standards

Accounting standards restrict the number of choices in the methods used to prepare financial statements and therefore
reduce the risk of creative accounting. This should help the users of accounts to compare the financial performance of
different organisations.

Companies are obliged to disclose the accounting policies they have used in the preparation of accounts. This should
help the users of accounts better understand the information presented.

Accounting standards should increase the credibility of accounts by increasing uniformity of accounting treatment
between companies.

Accounting standards require companies to disclose information which they might not want to disclose if the standards
did not exist.

Accounting standards provide a focal point for discussion about accounting practice.

The arguments against having accounting standards

Sometimes the accounting method advocated may not be appropriate in some particular circumstances or for certain
types of organisation.

Accounting standards may be overly prescriptive, reducing flexibility and the opportunity for accountants to use their
professional judgement.

Standards may be too general, resulting in a lack of clear guidance in some situations.

If standards contain too many detailed rules, there is a danger that preparers will develop creative accounting techniques
that technically adhere to the rules but conflict with the overall aims and principles behind financial statements.

Accounting standards may have been drafted as a consequence of a particular pressure group.

Some accounting standards can be expensive to comply with.

Marking scheme: 1 mark for each relevant point up to 7 marks.

Comments on the cash flow statement


Cash in the business has decreased by $66,000 and the changes in working capital suggest a squeeze on liquidity i.e.
receivables and inventory have increased over the period and at the same time payables have decreased. However, cash from
operations is positive and Hadrian is able to pay interest and tax which are key items.
During the year Hadrian has:

repaid $60,000 of long term loans which will reduce future years interest payments
purchased non-current assets worth $880,000 which may improve future efficiency and therefore profitability
issued 500,000 shares at a 10% premium

Comments on ratios
Return on capital employed
The return on capital employed appears to be good when compared with the industry average. However, this may be
misleading if the companys non-current assets are under valued.
Quick ratio
The low quick ratio in comparison with the industry average confirms the analysis from the cash flow statement that liquidity
may be a problem for this company.
Receivables collection period
The long receivables collection period suggests the company may be having problems collecting its debts. This long debt
collection period will be having an adverse impact on the companys liquidity. In addition, the longer the collection period,
the less likely the debts will be recovered.
Earnings per share
The earnings per share is just slightly lower than the industry average. This may not necessarily be a cause for concern, as
the company issued shares in 2006 which will have reduced the EPS. The success of the share issue suggests that investors
find this company an attractive investment. The investment by the company, in new assets, is likely to result in a higher EPS
in the future.
Marking Scheme: 1 mark for each relevant comment up to a maximum of 11 marks.

(c)

Associates
An associate is defined as an entity over which an investor has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a
joint venture of the investor. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
the investee. If an investor holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of the investee then the investor will usually
have significant influence over the investee, unless it can be clearly demonstrated this is not the case.
The
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)

existence of significant influence might also be demonstrated in one or more of the following ways:
Representative of the investor on the board of directors.
Participation in the policy making process.
Material transactions between investee and investor.
Interchange of management personnel.
Provision of essential technical information.

Marking scheme: 1 mark for each point up to a maximum of 4 marks for a good answer.

(a)

Adjusting events These are events that provide evidence of a condition that existed at the balance sheet.
IAS 10 requires that the amounts recognised in the financial statements be adjusted to take account of an adjusting event.
The standard also requires that disclosures be up-dated in the light of new information that relate to a condition that existed
at the balance sheet date.
Non-adjusting event These are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date.
IAS 10 prohibits the adjustment of amounts recognised in the financial statements to reflect non-adjusting events after the
balance sheet date. However, if a non-adjusting event is material and its non-disclosure could influence the decisions of users
then an entity should disclose the following:
(a)

the nature of the event

(b)

an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

Marking scheme: up to 2 marks for defining each type of event and how they should be treated (maximum 4 marks).
(b)

(i)

Receivables that were thought to be good at the balance sheet date will not now be paid. Adjusting event

(ii)

Jilton Newl has announced a bid to take over another company. Non adjusting event

(iii) Some material errors have been discovered which show the financial statements are incorrect. Adjusting event
(iv) The factory workforce at Jilton Newl has started strike action for an indefinite length of time. Non adjusting event
Marking scheme: 1 mark for each correct answer (maximum 4 marks)
(c)

Contingent liability
IAS 37 defines a contingent liability as:
A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or
A present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:

It is not probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability

Contingent liabilities should not be recognised in the financial statements but they should be disclosed unless the possibility
of any liability is remote. The required disclosures are:

A brief description of the nature of the contingent liability

An estimate of its financial effect

An indication of the uncertainties that exist

The possibility of any reimbursement

Marking scheme: up to 15 marks for defining a contingent liability and up to 2 marks for the accounting treatment.
Contingent asset
IAS 37 defines a contingent asset as:
A possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence, or non-occurrence,
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the entitys control.

13
FOR FREE CAT & ACCA RESOURCES VISIT: http://kaka-pakistani.blogspot.com

A contingent asset must not be recognised. Only when the realisation of the related economic benefit is virtually certain should
recognition take place. At that point the asset is no longer a contingent asset.
A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
Marking scheme: up to 15 marks for defining a contingent asset and up to 2 marks for the accounting treatment.

W6 Revaluation Reserve
Depreciation on buildings for the year is calculated as $1,500,000 x 5% = $75,000
Therefore the net book value of the buildings is $1,065,000 at the end of the year, i.e.
$1,500,000 $360,000 $75,000.
When the buildings are revalued at the end of the year a revaluation reserve is created of
$735,000. i.e. $1,800,000 $1,065,000 = $735,000.

Over the period there was a net cash inflow to the business of $892,000.

(1 mark)

The company purchased non-current assets of $7,671,000. The purchase of new non-current
assets may help operational efficiency and therefore improve future cash flows.

(2 marks)

The company was able to generate additional cash by selling non-current assets for $5,667,000.

(1 mark)

Loan notes of $16,889,000 were redeemed, this will reduce interest payments in the future.

(2 marks)

Inventory levels were reduced by $3,015,000. This might indicate the company has adopted
better inventory control procedures which should have a positive impact on future cash flows.

(2 marks)

Receivables were reduced by $3,034,000 and there was a small decrease in payables. These
changes may indicate better cash flow management procedures being adopted by the company.

(2 marks)

Marking scheme Other relevant comments may be acceptable. Maximum of 8 marks


(c)

Cash flow statements may be more useful than profit statements for the following reasons:
Cash flow statements help users understand where the company has generated its cash and
how it has been applied during the period.
Cash flow statements are more objective than profit statements as they cannot be manipulated
by choosing more favourable accounting policies.
Cash flow statements provide a useful insight into the changes in the structure of working capital.
Cash flow statements enable users to establish whether the company is able to repay its debts.

Relevant comments could include:

Smokey has a higher gross profit percentage than Binky. Smokey may have a cheaper supplier
than Binky or benefit from discounts. Alternatively, its market position or geographical location may
enable the company to charge a premium.

The net profit percentage for Smokey is significantly lower than Binky suggesting that Smokey is
not controlling its expenses as tightly as Binky.

Binky is able to obtain a significantly higher level of sales from its assets, suggesting the company
is being run more efficiently.

The current ratios indicate that both companies have sufficient current assets to meet their current
liabilities. However, the quick ratios reveal a more worrying picture.

The quick ratios for both companies are less than 1. Smokey has a very low quick ratio of 03 and
may not be able to pay its debts as they become due. The very high inventory levels may indicate
poor inventory control, it might be that some of the inventory is unsellable.

The receivables collection period for Smokey is significantly higher than Binky. This will obviously
be contributing to the companys adverse liquidity position. Action is required to improve the debt
collection procedures.

Overall Binky appears to be the better company to invest in, from the information given.

Marking scheme
1 mark for each relevant comment up to a maximum of 6 marks.

When one company sells goods to another company within the same group an identical amount is shown in the sales figure
of the first company and in the cost of sales of the second. However, as far as the group is concerned there has not been an
external sale. Therefore, on consolidation the amount of the inter-company trade must be eliminated from sales and purchases
(cost of sales).
If there are unrealised profits on inter-company trading these also need to be excluded from the figures for the group profits.
This is achieved by calculating and then deducting the amount of unrealised profit from unsold inventory at the year end.
Similarly, if non-current assets have been sold at profit between companies in a group then the profit element has to be
eliminated.
Any receivables/payables balances outstanding between the two companies at the year end are cancelled on consolidation to
avoid producing a misleading balance sheet.

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the value of the whole business as a going concern and the value of the
tangible and other identifiable intangible assets less any liabilities. Therefore, goodwill is a balancing item rather than an item
that is objectively valued.
(up to 2 marks)
Goodwill needs to be recalculated when a partner joins a partnership business for the following reasons.
A new partner that joins a business is entitled to share in the future growth of all the partnership assets. Their entitlement
arises because they make a payment to enter the partnership, or the existing partners consider they will enhance the future
profitability of the firm. However, the new partners entitlement is to share in the future growth of the business not its past
growth.
Any goodwill which has already been built up by the existing partners needs to be credited to them.

Comments on the performance of Acoms


Gross Profit
Gross profit percentage has reduced from the previous year by 27%. This might indicate increased competition in the market
and that selling prices have been discounted. Alternatively the cost of purchases may have increased significantly. The
situation is particularly worrying because this ratio is now below the industry average.
Net Profit
The net profit percentage has also deteriorated on the previous year and is below the industry average. This suggests that the
control of costs needs to be improved if the company is to remain competitive.
Current Ratio
The current ratio has deteriorated slightly on the previous year but is simliar to the industry average. The business has
sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities. However, the composition of the current assets is heavily weighted with
inventory. The company may have problems converting inventory to cash if it is required quickly.
Acid Test
The acid test ratio gives a better indication of liquidity than the current ratio. This ratio is 04:1 and has fallen significantly
below the industry average. This ratio suggests the company may be experiencing some liquidity problems. The current
inventory levels might also indicate the business is having some trading problems.
Receivables collection period
The receivables collection period has more than doubled since the previous year and is 13 days longer than the industry
average. The business may be giving customers more credit in order to sell more inventory. Alternatively the receivables
collection procedures may need to be tightened up, which would help to improve the business liquidity situation.
Marking scheme: Maximum of 10 marks.

(c)

Main limitations of ratio analysis

Inflation may distort comparisons of ratios over time.


Different accounting policies may distort intercompany comparisons.
The ratios are only as good as the financial information on which they are based.
The accounting information used to prepare the ratios may be out of date.
Changes in accounting policies from year to year may produce misleading ratios.
Usually the information presented in the published accounts is summarised, making a detailed analysis impossible.
Using industry averages as a basis for comparison can be misleading as they are the average of the ratios from a number
of companies.

Marking scheme 1 mark for each relevant comment up to a maximum of 5 marks

(a)

(i)

The role of the IASC Foundation is to oversee the IASB and related bodies and to raise the funds needed.

(ii)

The role of the IASB is to develop and issue global accounting standards.

(iii) The role of IFRIC is to provide timely guidance on the application of IFRSs where unsatisfactory interpretations exist or
new processes arise.
(iv) The role of SAC is to provide a formal forum where the IASB can consult individuals, and representatives of organisations
affected by its work.

(b)

The qualitative characteristics of financial information are the characteristics that make the information useful and determine
whether, when and how it is presented in financial statements so that the information they give is useful to users for assessing
the financial position, performance and financial adaptability of the business.
(1) Relevance
Information is considered to be relevant if it has the ability to influence the economic decisions of users and is provided
in time to influence those decisions.
(2) Reliability
Information is reliable if:
(a)

it can be depended upon by users to represent faithfully what it either purports to represent or is reasonably
expected to represent and therefore reflects the substance of the transactions and other events that have taken
place.

(b)

it is free from deliberate or systematic bias and material error, and is complete; and

(c)

in its preparation under conditions of uncertainty, a degree of caution has been applied in exercising the necessary
judgements.

(3) Comparability
Information is comparable if it enables users to determine and evaluate similarities in, and differences between, the
nature and effects of transactions and other events over time and across different businesses.
(4) Understandability
Information is understandable if its significance can be appreciated by users that have a reasonable knowledge of
business and economic activities and accounting and a willingness to study with reasonable diligence the information
provided.
Marking scheme: 1/2 a mark for identifying and 2 marks for explaining the characteristic. Maximum of 10 marks.
(c)

The main problems with historical cost accounting are:


(i)

Non-current assets values are unrealistic


The value of non-current assets shown on the balance sheet may be unrealistic if presented at their historical cost. For
example, property assets have a tendency to appreciate over time, hence the value on the balance sheet becomes
understated.
To overcome this problem a business may periodically revalue its assets.

(ii)

Potential capital reduction


Distributions made out of profit based on the historical cost basis may result in a reduction of capital in real terms.
Depreciation is regarded as a proxy for the contribution non-current assets have made to the business over the
accounting period. A criticism of depreciation based on historical cost is that it may not adequately reflect the value of
the assets contribution during the year. This inadequacy is partly overcome by periodically revaluing the assets.

(iii) Holding gains on inventory are included in profit


Closing inventory, during a period of rising prices, will tend to have a higher value than goods purchased in earlier
periods (i.e. inventory appreciation). Therefore, the gross profit will be overstated because the closing inventory is
deducted from the opening inventory plus purchases. However, when the inventory is eventually sold it will probably
cost more to replace.
(iv) Comparisons over time are unrealistic
Measuring the growth or the success of a business over time can be difficult during periods of inflation. For example,
comparing the current profitability of a company with its performance ten years later would be meaningless without
attempting to adjust the figures for inflation.
Examiners note: reference to Current Purchasing Power Accounting (CPP) and Current Cost Accounting (CCA) should be given
due credit.
Marking Scheme: 1 mark per relevant point up to a maximum of 6 marks.

(b)

Over the period there was a net cash outflow from the business of $1,305,000.
The company purchased non-current assets of $24,340,000. The purchase of new non-current assets may help the future
operational efficiency of the business and therefore improve future cash flows.
The company generated additional cash by selling non-current assets for $2,694,000 which yielded a profit on their NBV of
$720,000.
Loan notes of $2,300,000 were repaid, this will reduce interest payments in the future. However, the bank overdraft has
increased by $801,000. This will inevitably increase the cost of finance from the bank.
Inventory levels were reduced by $6,075,000. This had a positive impact on the cash flow of the business.
Receivables have increased by $1,863,000. This might suggest increased sales or that debt collection arrangements need
tightening up.
The payables increase is good for cash flow but potentially may lead to problems with suppliers if the company does not stay
within agreed credit terms. Payables have almost doubled and the company may find they are no longer given credit.

marks

Over the period there was a net cash inflow to the business of $59,000. The bank balance increased
from $536,000 to $595,000.

(05 mark)

The company was able to generate additional cash by selling some equipment for $766,000.

(05 mark)

Loan notes of $2,091,000 were repaid, this will reduce interest payments in the future and therefore
help the cash flow situation of the company.

(2 marks)

Inventory levels have increased by $1,940,000. This might indicate the company is experiencing some
trading difficulties. Alternatively it could be that the company is taking advantage of some short term
supplier discounts and purchasing inventory.

(2 marks)

Receivables have decreased by $2,450,000. This could indicate that sales have fallen, alternatively
it could be that the company has taken action to improve its credit control arrangements.

(2 marks)

The company purchased non-current assets of $8,262,000. The purchase of new non-current assets
may help improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and therefore improve future cash flows.

(2 marks)

4,000,000 additional shares were issued during the year generating a cash inflow of $5,467,000.

Marking Scheme
The above ratios are indicative of the ones a candidate could produce. 1/2 should be awarded for each ratio calculated
correctly and 1/2 for stating the correct formula, a maximum of 9 marks.
(b)

Relevant comments could include:


Gross Profit Percentage Gross profit percentage has increased significantly. This may be because Quadrop has obtained
better discounts from its suppliers. Alternatively, its market position or location may be allowing it to charge its customers
premium prices.
Net Profit Percentage Net profit has improved as a percentage of sales, but not by the same increase in the gross profit
percentage. It may be that extra expenses, e.g. in marketing, are being incurred to generate the higher level of sales.
Current Ratio The current ratio has fallen. The company may be suffering from liquidity problems and may not be able to
make payments as they fall due. The financial statements show that cash balances have fallen from a $300,000 surplus to
an overdraft of $120,000.
Quick Ratio Quadrops quick ratio has deteriorated from the previous year and is worryingly low. The business clearly has
cash flow problems.
Gearing There has been a significant increase in the gearing of the company. It has taken on additional loans presumably
to finance the additional non-current and intangible assets.
Receivables collection period This has increased from the previous year by nearly five days. The slower collection of
receivables will be contributing to the poor liquidity situation.
Inventory turnover The inventory turnover ratio has fallen suggesting that there may be some inventory control problems.
Alternatively the company may be changing the mix/type of goods it sells resulting in different turnover ratios.
Payables The payables period has decreased from 778 days to 726 days which suggests it is paying suppliers more
quickly. This will have an adverse impact on the cash flow position, unless discounts are being received for early payment.

18
FOR FREE CAT & ACCA RESOURCES VISIT: http://kaka-pakistani.blogspot.com

Return on capital employed The business has improved its ROCE from 155%30% despite taking out more long term
loans. This level of return to shareholders should be acceptable and attractive to any prospective shareholders.

Marking scheme: 1/2 mark for correctly stating the formula and 1/2 mark for each correct ratio
(b)

Relevant comments could include:

The current ratios indicate that both companies have sufficient current assets to meet their current liabilities. Campbells
current ratio is very healthy due mainly to the relatively lower level of liabilities.

The quick ratio shows that Giddens may have some liquidity problems; it is less than 1:1 and therefore the company
may not be able to pay its debts as they become due. The high level of payables relative to current assets may indicate
some difficulty in paying suppliers. Giddens bank balance when compared to Campbells is also low.

The receivables collection period for Giddens is longer than for Campbell. This may indicate poor credit control in
Giddens and may have an adverse effect on company liquidity.

Campbell is making a very good return on capital employed (18%) compared to Giddens (31%). Campbell should be
an attractive investment to potential investors with this level of return.

Campbell has a higher gross profit percentage than Giddens. It may be that Campbell is able to source its supplies more
cheaply than Giddens or benefit from discounts. Alternatively, it may have some other advantage such as its location
which enables it to charge higher prices.

The net profit percentage for Giddens is very low compared with Campbell, suggesting that it is not controlling its
expenses as carefully as it should.

1 mark for each relevant comment up to a maximum of 6 marks.
