The following information relates to the detected errors and the end-of-year adjustments:
1
At 30 April 2016 the bookkeeper had omitted to record prepaid advertising expense of
R15 000 (advertising expense is classified as an administrative expense).
The fixed deposit in Raphael Bank was invested on 1 February 2016, for twelve months. On
1 February 2017, the full amount was reinvested and the investment was increased by
10.000. ‘The bookkeeper had correctly recorded the new investment. Up to 1 February
2017 the interest on investment was payable annually at 10% p.a., but this increased to 12%
p.a. after the additional investment was made.
Import duty of R10 000, on equipment purchased from Singapore, for R80 000, had been
erroneously included administrative expenses. The invoice for the equipment was correctly
recorded and the equipment was taken into use on 1 November 2016, This was the only
purchase or disposal of equipment in the current financial year.
It is the policy of the business to depreciate equipment by 25% p.a., on cost. Land and
buildings are not depreciated.R104/R151/RV104/RF103/RFAX4 Page 2 of 4 pages

5. An invoice of R1 500 for stationery bought on credit, which had been delivered on 30 April
2017, had only been received on 15 May 2017. The bookkeeper had ignored this transaction
as he was uncertain how to record it. The bookkeeper determined that the value of the
stationery on hand on 30 April 2017 amounted to R2 590.
6. During September a special sale was held at discounted prices of 25%. During the sales
period, goods to the value of R45 000 was sold.
7. The owner felt that a comprehensive stock-take of inventory at year-end was a waste of time
and money. The bookkeeper estimated the value of the closing inventory by doing the
necessary calculation (see part b below).
