(b) “Cash in plant expansion fund” should be reported as part of long-term
investments (a noncurrent asset). “Receivables from customers” should be
reported as accounts receivable in the current assets. “Debt investments”
should also be reported in the current assets (because the intent is to sell
them in less than one year).

(c) (1) Average-cost results in the lower inventory amount for the statement of
financial position, £5,050.

(2) FIFO results in the lower cost of goods sold, £14,400.


PROBLEM 8.2

(a) £33,000.

(b) £49,500 [(£875,000 × 6%) – £3,000].


[(£875,000 × 6%) - £3,000 = £49,500]

(c) £55,500 [(£875,000 × 6%) + £3,000].


[(£875,000 × 6%) + £3,000 = £55,500]

(d) The weakness of the direct write-off method is two-fold. First, it does not match
expenses with revenues. Second, the accounts receivable is not stated at
cash realizable value at the statement of financial position date.
PROBLEM 8.4

(a) Total estimated bad debts

Number of Days Outstanding


Total 0–30 31–60 61–90 91–120 Over 120

(e) If Ho Publishers used 4% of total accounts receivable rather than aging the
individual accounts the bad debt expense adjustment would be ¥16,000
[(¥200,000 × 4%) + ¥8,000]. The rest of the entries would be the same as they
were when aging the accounts receivable.

Aging the individual accounts rather than applying a percentage to the total
accounts receivable should produce a more accurate allowance account and
bad debts expense.

2027 20,000 *50%* 10,000 70,000
2028 10,000 *50%* ** 5,000 75,000

**100% ÷ 4-year useful life = 25% × 2 = 50%.


PROBLEM 9.3 (Continued)

(3) Depreciation cost per unit = (R$80,000 – R$5,000)/125,000 units = R$0.60


per unit.

Annual Depreciation Expense

2025: R$0.60 × 42,000 = R$25,200


2026: 0.60 × 37,000 = 22,200
2027: 0.60 × 28,000 = 16,800
2028: 0.60 × 18,000 = 10,800

(c) The declining-balance method reports the highest amount of depreciation


expense the first year while the straight-line method reports the lowest. In the
fourth year, the straight-line method reports the highest amount of
depreciation expense while the declining-balance method reports the lowest.

These facts occur because the declining-balance method is an accelerated


depreciation method in which the largest amount of depreciation is
recognized in the early years of the asset’s life. If the straight-line method is
used, the same amount of depreciation expense is recognized each year.
Therefore, in the early years less depreciation expense will be recognized
under this method than under the declining-balance method while more will be
recognized in the later years.

The amount of depreciation expense recognized using the units-of-activity


method is dependent on production, so this method could recognize more or
less depreciation expense than the other two methods in any year
depending on output.

No matter which of the three methods is used, the same total amount of
depreciation expense will be recognized over the four-year period.

(b) From the information given, it appears that from an operating standpoint, Del
Carpio Company did not have a superb first year, having suffered a €44,000
net loss. Sara is correct; the statement of cash flows is not prepared in
correct form. The correct format classifies cash flows from three activities—
operating, investing, and financing; and it also presents significant non-cash
investing and financing activities in a separate schedule. Sara is wrong,
however, about the actual increase in cash not being €101,000; €101,000 is the
correct increase in cash.
