Business entity – the s record and report on the financial transactions of a particular business, and not the owner's personal financial transactions.

assets – items owned by a business; liabilities – items owed by a business
purchases – goods bought, whether on credit or for cash, which are intended to be resold later; sales – the sale of goods, whether on credit or for cash, in which the business trades

Answers to the trainee: •
Separate s for purchases and sales enable the business to know the amount of goods bought and sold. A combined for ‘goods’ would not provide this information so readily.
•
The purchase of a new delivery van for use in the business is the purchase of a non-current asset, which will be used on a long-term basis. As such the purchase of the van – which is an example of capital expenditure – is entered on the debit side of van .

Purchases returns
Cr £ 100 80
Purchases and sales s follow the principles of book-keeping in that the debit side of purchases gains value when the business buys goods for resale, while the credit side of sales gives value when the business sells goods.
Purchases returns (or returns out) is where we return goods to a trade payable (supplier). The returns transaction is recorded the opposite way round to a purchases transaction.
Sales returns (or returns in) is where a trade receivable (customer) returns goods to us. The transaction is recorded the opposite way round to a sales transaction.
Carriage inwards and carriage outwards are kept in separate s because they represent different transactions. Carriage inwards is where we pay the carriage cost of goods purchased to have them delivered to us. Carriage outwards is where we pay the carriage charge for goods we have sold, that is we have sold the goods to our customers as ‘delivery free’.

•

The final s of a sole trader comprise: –
–
income statement balance sheet
The income statement shows:
income minus expenses equals profit (or loss)
To:
The Owner, Beta Batteries
•
The balance sheet shows:
Date:
Today
•
Assets are items owned by the business; liabilities are amounts owed by the business; capital is the amount of the owner’s investment.
(a)
The Partnership Act 1890 defines a partnership as “the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit”.
From:
Subject:
Student ant
of J Booth 13.3
I note that a customer of Beta Batteries, J Booth, has been declared bankrupt whilst owing you £350. You are of the opinion that none of the debt will be recovered.
(b)
The ing treatment is that the amount of £350 should be treated as a bad debt written off. To do this you will need to:
assets minus liabilities equals capital
Where no partnership agreement exists, then the following ing rules from the Partnership Act 1890 must be followed: •
profits and losses are to be shared equally between the partners
•
partners are not entitled to receive interest on their capital
•
– debit bad debts written off
– credit J Booth’s in your sales ledger
•
If you use a sales ledger control you should also credit this memorandum with the amount.
•
For the year end s, you will need to transfer the amount of the bad debt to income statement as an expense:
no partner is entitled to a salary
interest is not to be charged on partners’ drawings
when a partner contributes more capital than agreed, he or she is entitled to receive interest at five per cent per annum on the excess
Note: the question asks for any three provisions.
– debit income statement
13.5
– credit bad debts written off
The effect of writing off this bad debt will be to reduce your profit for the year by £350 and, at the same time, the trade receivables’ figure in your balance sheet will be reduced by the amount, so reducing the net assets of the business.

CHAPTER 14 ing concepts and inventory valuation
14.1
•
•
•
Going concern concept
•
14.2
Accruals concept
14.5
Examples: The accrual of an expense in income statement which has been used in the ing period but not yet paid for. The prepayment of an expense for the next ing period. The recording of opening and closing inventories. The use of trade receivables' and trade payables' s to record amounts owing to the business, or owed by the business. Materiality concept
This means that some items in s have such a low monetary (money) value that it is not worthwhile recording them separately. Examples include:
14.8
small expense items which may not justify their own separate expense and are, instead, grouped together in a sundry expenses
end-of-year quantities of office stationery are often not valued for the purpose of final s because the amount is not material and does not justify the time and effort involved
low-cost non-current assets are often charged as an expense in income statement because, while strictly these should be treated as non-current assets and depreciated each year, in practice they are treated as income statement expenses as the amounts involved are not material – such as a calculator, a stapler
Materiality depends very much on the size of the business – what is material and what is not becomes a matter of judgement. Business entity concept
This refers to the fact that final s record and report on the activities of a particular business. For example, the personal assets and liabilities of those who play a part in owning or running the business are not included on the business balance sheet.
(a)
The concept of prudence means
–
–
–
(b)
–
–
–
(c)
not anticipating profit until it is reasonably certain that it will be realised
–
provision for doubtful debts (see Chapter 15)
(a)
The kettle should be valued at £16.
(b)
Inventory should be valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value whichever is the lower.
Workings: £31 – £15 = £16 net realisable value (which is lower than the cost of £18) This is an example of using the prudence concept.

• •
bad debts written off, to reduce the trade receivables’ figure to give a realistic view of the amount that the business can expect to receive
provision for doubtful debts (see Chapter 15), to reduce the trade receivables’ figure
The concept of consistency means that, when a business adopts particular ing policies, it should continue to use such policies consistently
bad debts written off
depreciation of non-current assets
Concept
Examples (question asks for one example):
–
–
By applying the consistency concept, direct comparison between the final s of different years can be made.
This means that expenses and income for goods and services are matched to the same time period.
–
valuation of inventory
–
Example: As a going concern, non-current assets are valued at cost, less accumulated depreciation to date; inventory is valued at cost (unless net realisable value is lower).
–
–
–
This presumes that the business to which the final s relate will continue to trade in the foreseeable future. The income statement and balance sheet are prepared on the basis that there is no intention to reduce significantly the size of the business or to liquidate the business. If the business was not a going concern, assets would have very different values, and the balance sheet would be affected considerably.
–
Examples (question asks for one example)
•
22
The prudence concept says that final s should always, where there is any doubt, report a conservative figure for profit or the valuation of assets.
In inventory valuation it is applied by using the lower of cost and net realisable value. (Note that net realisable value is the selling price of the goods, less further costs to get the inventory into a saleable condition.) A lower closing inventory figure means that profits are not overstated – thus the amount drawn by the owner(s) will be reduced, so helping to ensure the continued financial viability of the business.

Depreciation, using the straight-line method, at present is £15,000 (see above)
•
Therefore reducing balance depreciation is £3,000 less this year than straight-line method, so profit will increase from £8,100 (see above) to £11,100.
Reducing balance depreciation will be 20% (£150,000 – £90,000) = 20% x £60,000 = £12,000

The private limited company is the most common form of limited company and is defined as ‘any company that is not a public company’ (Companies Act 2006). Many private limited companies are small companies, often in family ownership and it would seem appropriate for Wullie McDuff to consider this form of business organisation.
(b)
•
(c)
•
(d)
Advantages include: •
•
• •
limited liability – the shareholders of the company can only lose the amount of their investment (together with any money unpaid on their shares); the personal assets of the shareholders are not available to the company’s trade payables
17.2
separate legal entity – a limited company is separate from the owners
ability to raise finance – the smaller company can raise funds from venture capital companies, relatives and friends; debentures can be issued to raise long-term finance from lenders and investors
•
17.4
documentation – there is more documentation – eg the preparation of formal annual s – for a company to produce than for a sole trader business; the costs of istering a company are higher than for a sole trader
•
Market value is the price at which issued shares are traded, ie bought and sold.
Capital reserves are created as a result of a non-trading profit; examples include revaluation reserve, share . Revenue reserves are retained profits from the income statement; examples include retained earnings, general reserve.
A bonus issue is the capitalisation of reserves – either capital or revenue – in the form of free shares issued to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings; no cash flows into the company.
A rights issue is the raising of cash by offering shares to existing shareholders, in proportion to their holdings, at a favourable price.
corporation tax is shown in the income statement, and any amount not yet paid is shown as a current liability on the balance sheet
(a)
directors' remuneration is shown as an expense in the income statement dividends paid are shown in the statement of changes in equity
revaluation reserve is shown as a capital reserve as a part of the equity section of the balance sheet
goodwill is shown as an intangible asset in the non-current assets section of the balance sheet; it is amortised in the same way as tangible non-current assets are depreciated

(c)
(f)
hip – all ordinary shareholders have voting rights, so Wullie may lose some control of the business
•
Preference shares usually carry a fixed rate of dividend which is paid in preference to that of ordinary shareholders. In the event of the company ceasing to trade, the preference shareholders will also receive repayment of capital before the ordinary shareholders.
debenture interest is shown as an expense in the income statement
(b)
(e)
a limited company may have a higher standing and status in the business community, allowing it to benefit from economies of scale, and making it of sufficient size to employ specialists
•
Ordinary shares are the most commonly issued class of share. They take a share of the profits which remain after all other expenses of the business. The main risk of ordinary shares is that part or all of the value of the shares will be lost if the company loses money or becomes insolvent.

Wullie must consider the advantages and disadvantages of changing his business into a private limited company. If he is seeking to expand the business and raise finance, it would be sensible to consider this option. At the same time he would gain the benefit of limited liability.

Conclusion
It seems to be preferable for Srian to finance its expansion scheme with an issue of ordinary shares. This has a much lower gearing ratio than the issue of debentures – the company may have difficulty in the future meeting the extra annual interest cost of £1,800,000.
the new shareholders will have voting rights
the power of the existing shareholders will be diluted because there will be more shares in issue
the company’s gearing ratio will be improved
a different type of financing based on loans and interest, rather than shares and dividends
the interest charge will rise by £1,800,000 from £1,200,000 to £3,000,000
interest must be paid whether or not profits are made
a failure to pay interest could lead the company into insolvency
no voting rights, so no dilution of shareholders’ power
debentures must be repaid at an agreed date in future
interest rate is fixed, whatever may happen to the level of interest rates
debenture holders likely to require security for their loan in the form of a mortgage over company assets; this may restrict the use the company can make of the assets
= 2:1 or 200%
This is an extremely high gearing ratio, well above the ‘normal’ maximum of 1:1 or 100% acceptable to investors. It may be that Srian plc will have difficulty in meeting the annual interest costs of this option.

Retained earnings
the company’s gearing ratio will be worsened
Without having information on the company’s revenue reserves (retained earnings and general reserve), the gearing ratio is currently:
General reserve is created from profit which has been kept in the company. It belongs to the shareholders, but is represented by assets in the balance sheet and is not a bank balance available to rebuild the garage forecourt.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) expresses the profit of a business in relation to the amount of capital in the business by the owner. gearing
Debt (loan capital + preference shares, if any) Equity (ordinary shares + reserves)
Gearing is concerned with the long-term financial stability of a business. It measures how much of the business is financed by debt (including preference shares) against capital – gearing is often referred to as the debt/equity ratio. The higher the gearing, the less secure will be the ordinary share capital of the business and, therefore, the future of the business. This is because debt is costly in of interest payments.

This ratio expresses, as a percentage, the gross profit in relation to revenue.

net current assets
Current assets – Current liabilities
Net current assets or working capital, are needed by all businesses in order to finance day-to-day trading activities. Sufficient net current assets enable a business to hold adequate inventories, allow a measure of credit to its customers (trade receivables) and to pay its suppliers (trade payables) as payments fall due.
(e)
liquid capital
Liquid capital is calculated in the same way as net current assets, except that inventories are omitted. This is because inventories are the most illiquid current asset. Liquid capital provides a direct comparison between the short-term assets of trade receivables and cash and short-term liabilities.

This is a calculated figure which shows the surplus of income over expenditure for the year. It takes note of adjustments for accruals and prepayments and non-cash items such as depreciation and provision for doubtful debts.
31
Note: The figure for trade receivables has fallen during the period, while the figure for trade payables has increased. The reasons for the changes need to be investigated to include: – has revenue reduced, or is collection from trade receivables more efficient? – does the company have the money to pay trade payables, or have generous credit been offered by a supplier?

Green Ltd is the supermarket, while Hawke Ltd is the furniture store.
Green Ltd has a low net profit margin and a high inventory turnover. This is a characteristic of the way in which supermarkets operate – low profit margins, but a high level of revenue. Liquidity ratios are lower than the norms as supermarkets usually have few trade receivables.

Advertising could increase sales, but only if the extra revenue generated covers the cost of advertising.

Ordinary shareholder Student ant Today Proposals to raise finance
This proposal to issue more ordinary shares means that ownership of the company will be diluted.
Unless the amount paid out by the company in dividends is increased, then your dividend per share will fall. Return on capital employed will be reduced from 7.89% (£30,000 ÷ £380,000) to 5%.
The company’s gearing ratio is lowered (because equity has increased from £380,000 to £600,000); no interest to pay on the share issue.
Reserves will increase to £300,000, ie £160,000 share and £140,000 retained earnings. the company may decide to make a bonus issue of shares in the future.
Proposal 2
Inventory levels could be reduced, so improving the net current asset ratio.
Formula
*
•
If inventory turnover could be increased above 20 times per year, this would generate more cash and improve the liquidity ratios of the business (provided that selling prices do not have to be cut to encourage sales).
(a)
Report
Proposal 1
Hawke Ltd has a higher net profit margin with a lower inventory turnover. This indicates a business that sells higher value items which are not purchased on a regular basis. The liquidity ratios are close to the norms indicating a business with higher inventories and trade receivables than a supermarket. (c)

32
The proposal is to fund the expansion entirely from external borrowing – your ownership of the company will not be diluted.
Your dividend per share should remain the same and, if profits are increased after paying interest on the loans, will increase.
The company’s gearing ratio is increased by the borrowing, and the company must pay interest on the borrowing.
The overdraft is a current liability which will have the effect of reducing the company’s net current asset (current) ratio and liquid capital (acid test) ratio.
Return on capital employed will be reduced from 7.89% to 5.56% (a smaller reduction than proposal 1).
The company will need a repayment scheme for the external borrowing – this could cause liquidity and cash flow problems in the future.

profit is a calculated figure which shows the surplus of income over expenditure for the year.
Example of how a business can make a good profit during a year when the bank balance reduces or the bank overdraft increases (the question asks for two examples):
•
share £5,000 + £5,000 on rights issue = £10,000
A lower gearing ratio reduces the level of risk to the company and enables it to borrow further funds in the future if required.
(b)
•
•
revaluation reserve £200,000 revaluation – £80,000 net book value = £120,000
The impact of the rights issue and the revaluation of the property has been to reduce considerably the gearing ratio from 37.42% to 12.45%. Even before the adjustments, the company was relatively low-geared; the ratio is much lower after the adjustments.
•
•
bank £1,058 + £30,000 (£25,000 + £5,000 ) rights issue = £31,058
Revaluation of the property has added £120,000 (£200,000 – £80,000) to total equity.

At 31 October 2002, the bank balance is budgeted to be £1,200.
•
The company sells beach buckets and spades, so the seasonal effect is over quickly.
•
Thus, over the four-month period there is expected to be a change from an overdraft of £7,200 at the start, through a maximum overdraft of £11,600 in August, to £1,200 money in the bank at the end of October. Expected amounts due from trade receivables in November are: £ 12,000 4,800 16,800
•
It is likely that the company will go into overdraft again quite quickly, from November onwards.
•
The company needs to make arrangements for an overdraft facility for July, August and September, with a limit of approximately £12,000.

Notes:
• no depreciation – a non-cash expense – is shown in the cash budget
• customers pay one month after sale, ie trade receivables from January settle in February
• suppliers are paid one month after purchase, ie trade payables from January are paid in February
(b) The cash budget shows the maximum bank overdraft to be £3,000 in May.
Jim Smith could avoid the need for a bank overdraft in one or more of the following ways (the question asks for two ways): • by commencing his business with a higher initial capital, eg £13,000
• by buying the van on hire purchase or leasing instead of outright purchase
• by reducing his purchases to £3,000 for each of January and February
• by asking his suppliers for two months’ credit for the initial purchases of £4,500 made in January
• by asking his customers to pay more quickly

Guidance to the trainee to include: • the use of s to record different types of transactions • the principles of double-entry book-keeping whereby one is debited and one is credited for every business transaction • the debit entry is made in the which gains value, or records an asset, or an expense • the credit entry is made in the which gives value, or records a liability, or an income item • examples can be given using bank where money in is recorded on the debit side, and money out is recorded on the credit side • an explanation of various s including – capital – the amount of money invested in the business by the owner – non-current assets – items purchased by a business for use on a long-term basis (noting the distinction between capital expenditure and revenue expenditure) – expenses – the day-to-day running expenses (revenue expenditure) of the business – income – amounts of income received by the business – owner’s drawings – where the owner takes money in cash or by cheque (or sometimes goods) from the business for personal use – loans – where a business receives a loan, eg from a relative or the bank

Answers to the trainee: •
Separate s for purchases and sales enable the business to know the amount of goods bought and sold. A combined for ‘goods’ would not provide this information so readily.
•
The purchase of a new delivery van for use in the business is the purchase of a non-current asset, which will be used on a long-term basis. As such the purchase of the van – which is an example of capital expenditure – is entered on the debit side of van .

Purchases returns
Cr £ 100 80
Purchases and sales s follow the principles of book-keeping in that the debit side of purchases gains value when the business buys goods for resale, while the credit side of sales gives value when the business sells goods.
Purchases returns (or returns out) is where we return goods to a trade payable (supplier). The returns transaction is recorded the opposite way round to a purchases transaction.
Sales returns (or returns in) is where a trade receivable (customer) returns goods to us. The transaction is recorded the opposite way round to a sales transaction.
Carriage inwards and carriage outwards are kept in separate s because they represent different transactions. Carriage inwards is where we pay the carriage cost of goods purchased to have them delivered to us. Carriage outwards is where we pay the carriage charge for goods we have sold, that is we have sold the goods to our customers as ‘delivery free’.

13.2 MEMORANDUM
•
•
The final s of a sole trader comprise: –
–
income statement balance sheet
The income statement shows:
income minus expenses equals profit (or loss)
To:
The Owner, Beta Batteries
•
The balance sheet shows:
Date:
Today
•
Assets are items owned by the business; liabilities are amounts owed by the business; capital is the amount of the owner’s investment.
(a)
The Partnership Act 1890 defines a partnership as “the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit”.
From:
Subject:
Student ant
of J Booth 13.3
I note that a customer of Beta Batteries, J Booth, has been declared bankrupt whilst owing you £350. You are of the opinion that none of the debt will be recovered.
(b)
The ing treatment is that the amount of £350 should be treated as a bad debt written off. To do this you will need to:
assets minus liabilities equals capital
Where no partnership agreement exists, then the following ing rules from the Partnership Act 1890 must be followed: •
profits and losses are to be shared equally between the partners
•
partners are not entitled to receive interest on their capital
•
– debit bad debts written off
– credit J Booth’s in your sales ledger
•
If you use a sales ledger control you should also credit this memorandum with the amount.
•
For the year end s, you will need to transfer the amount of the bad debt to income statement as an expense:
no partner is entitled to a salary
interest is not to be charged on partners’ drawings
when a partner contributes more capital than agreed, he or she is entitled to receive interest at five per cent per annum on the excess
Note: the question asks for any three provisions.
– debit income statement
13.5
– credit bad debts written off
The effect of writing off this bad debt will be to reduce your profit for the year by £350 and, at the same time, the trade receivables’ figure in your balance sheet will be reduced by the amount, so reducing the net assets of the business.

CHAPTER 14 ing concepts and inventory valuation
14.1
•
•
•
Going concern concept
•
14.2
Accruals concept
14.5
Examples: The accrual of an expense in income statement which has been used in the ing period but not yet paid for. The prepayment of an expense for the next ing period. The recording of opening and closing inventories. The use of trade receivables' and trade payables' s to record amounts owing to the business, or owed by the business. Materiality concept
This means that some items in s have such a low monetary (money) value that it is not worthwhile recording them separately. Examples include:
14.8
small expense items which may not justify their own separate expense and are, instead, grouped together in a sundry expenses
end-of-year quantities of office stationery are often not valued for the purpose of final s because the amount is not material and does not justify the time and effort involved
low-cost non-current assets are often charged as an expense in income statement because, while strictly these should be treated as non-current assets and depreciated each year, in practice they are treated as income statement expenses as the amounts involved are not material – such as a calculator, a stapler
Materiality depends very much on the size of the business – what is material and what is not becomes a matter of judgement. Business entity concept
This refers to the fact that final s record and report on the activities of a particular business. For example, the personal assets and liabilities of those who play a part in owning or running the business are not included on the business balance sheet.
(a)
The concept of prudence means
–
–
–
(b)
–
–
–
(c)
not anticipating profit until it is reasonably certain that it will be realised
–
provision for doubtful debts (see Chapter 15)
(a)
The kettle should be valued at £16.
(b)
Inventory should be valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value whichever is the lower.
Workings: £31 – £15 = £16 net realisable value (which is lower than the cost of £18) This is an example of using the prudence concept.

(b)
depreciation of non-current assets, to measure the amount of the fall in value of non-current assets over time
• •
bad debts written off, to reduce the trade receivables’ figure to give a realistic view of the amount that the business can expect to receive
provision for doubtful debts (see Chapter 15), to reduce the trade receivables’ figure
The concept of consistency means that, when a business adopts particular ing policies, it should continue to use such policies consistently
bad debts written off
depreciation of non-current assets
Concept
Examples (question asks for one example):
–
–
By applying the consistency concept, direct comparison between the final s of different years can be made.
This means that expenses and income for goods and services are matched to the same time period.
–
valuation of inventory
–
Example: As a going concern, non-current assets are valued at cost, less accumulated depreciation to date; inventory is valued at cost (unless net realisable value is lower).
–
–
–
This presumes that the business to which the final s relate will continue to trade in the foreseeable future. The income statement and balance sheet are prepared on the basis that there is no intention to reduce significantly the size of the business or to liquidate the business. If the business was not a going concern, assets would have very different values, and the balance sheet would be affected considerably.
–
Examples (question asks for one example)
•
22
The prudence concept says that final s should always, where there is any doubt, report a conservative figure for profit or the valuation of assets.
In inventory valuation it is applied by using the lower of cost and net realisable value. (Note that net realisable value is the selling price of the goods, less further costs to get the inventory into a saleable condition.) A lower closing inventory figure means that profits are not overstated – thus the amount drawn by the owner(s) will be reduced, so helping to ensure the continued financial viability of the business.

Depreciation, using the straight-line method, at present is £15,000 (see above)

Therefore reducing balance depreciation is £3,000 less this year than straight-line method, so profit will increase from £8,100 (see above) to £11,100.
Reducing balance depreciation will be 20% (£150,000 – £90,000) = 20% x £60,000 = £12,000

Capital expenditure is shown on the balance sheet (subject to the ing concept of materiality), while revenue expenditure is an expense in the income statement. It is important to classify these items of expenditure correctly in the ing system so that the final s report reliably on the financial state of the business – profit is stated accurately and the balance sheet shows the assets owned by the business.

The private limited company is the most common form of limited company and is defined as ‘any company that is not a public company’ (Companies Act 2006). Many private limited companies are small companies, often in family ownership and it would seem appropriate for Wullie McDuff to consider this form of business organisation.
(b)
•
(c)
•
(d)
Advantages include: •
•
• •
limited liability – the shareholders of the company can only lose the amount of their investment (together with any money unpaid on their shares); the personal assets of the shareholders are not available to the company’s trade payables
17.2
separate legal entity – a limited company is separate from the owners
ability to raise finance – the smaller company can raise funds from venture capital companies, relatives and friends; debentures can be issued to raise long-term finance from lenders and investors
•
17.4
documentation – there is more documentation – eg the preparation of formal annual s – for a company to produce than for a sole trader business; the costs of istering a company are higher than for a sole trader
•
Market value is the price at which issued shares are traded, ie bought and sold.
Capital reserves are created as a result of a non-trading profit; examples include revaluation reserve, share . Revenue reserves are retained profits from the income statement; examples include retained earnings, general reserve.
A bonus issue is the capitalisation of reserves – either capital or revenue – in the form of free shares issued to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings; no cash flows into the company.
A rights issue is the raising of cash by offering shares to existing shareholders, in proportion to their holdings, at a favourable price.
corporation tax is shown in the income statement, and any amount not yet paid is shown as a current liability on the balance sheet
(a)
directors' remuneration is shown as an expense in the income statement dividends paid are shown in the statement of changes in equity
revaluation reserve is shown as a capital reserve as a part of the equity section of the balance sheet
goodwill is shown as an intangible asset in the non-current assets section of the balance sheet; it is amortised in the same way as tangible non-current assets are depreciated

Preference shares usually carry a fixed rate of dividend which is paid in preference to that of ordinary shareholders. In the event of the company ceasing to trade, the preference shareholders will also receive repayment of capital before the ordinary shareholders.
debenture interest is shown as an expense in the income statement

(e)
a limited company may have a higher standing and status in the business community, allowing it to benefit from economies of scale, and making it of sufficient size to employ specialists
•
Ordinary shares are the most commonly issued class of share. They take a share of the profits which remain after all other expenses of the business. The main risk of ordinary shares is that part or all of the value of the shares will be lost if the company loses money or becomes insolvent.

Wullie must consider the advantages and disadvantages of changing his business into a private limited company. If he is seeking to expand the business and raise finance, it would be sensible to consider this option. At the same time he would gain the benefit of limited liability.

Conclusion
It seems to be preferable for Srian to finance its expansion scheme with an issue of ordinary shares. This has a much lower gearing ratio than the issue of debentures – the company may have difficulty in the future meeting the extra annual interest cost of £1,800,000.
the new shareholders will have voting rights
the power of the existing shareholders will be diluted because there will be more shares in issue
the company’s gearing ratio will be improved
a different type of financing based on loans and interest, rather than shares and dividends
the interest charge will rise by £1,800,000 from £1,200,000 to £3,000,000
interest must be paid whether or not profits are made
a failure to pay interest could lead the company into insolvency
no voting rights, so no dilution of shareholders’ power
debentures must be repaid at an agreed date in future
interest rate is fixed, whatever may happen to the level of interest rates
debenture holders likely to require security for their loan in the form of a mortgage over company assets; this may restrict the use the company can make of the assets
= 2:1 or 200%
This is an extremely high gearing ratio, well above the ‘normal’ maximum of 1:1 or 100% acceptable to investors. It may be that Srian plc will have difficulty in meeting the annual interest costs of this option.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) expresses the profit of a business in relation to the amount of capital in the business by the owner. gearing
Debt (loan capital + preference shares, if any) Equity (ordinary shares + reserves)
Gearing is concerned with the long-term financial stability of a business. It measures how much of the business is financed by debt (including preference shares) against capital – gearing is often referred to as the debt/equity ratio. The higher the gearing, the less secure will be the ordinary share capital of the business and, therefore, the future of the business. This is because debt is costly in of interest payments.

net current assets
Current assets – Current liabilities
Net current assets or working capital, are needed by all businesses in order to finance day-to-day trading activities. Sufficient net current assets enable a business to hold adequate inventories, allow a measure of credit to its customers (trade receivables) and to pay its suppliers (trade payables) as payments fall due.
(e)
liquid capital
Liquid capital is calculated in the same way as net current assets, except that inventories are omitted. This is because inventories are the most illiquid current asset. Liquid capital provides a direct comparison between the short-term assets of trade receivables and cash and short-term liabilities.

Note: The figure for trade receivables has fallen during the period, while the figure for trade payables has increased. The reasons for the changes need to be investigated to include: – has revenue reduced, or is collection from trade receivables more efficient? – does the company have the money to pay trade payables, or have generous credit been offered by a supplier?

Ordinary shareholder Student ant Today Proposals to raise finance
This proposal to issue more ordinary shares means that ownership of the company will be diluted.
Unless the amount paid out by the company in dividends is increased, then your dividend per share will fall. Return on capital employed will be reduced from 7.89% (£30,000 ÷ £380,000) to 5%.
The company’s gearing ratio is lowered (because equity has increased from £380,000 to £600,000); no interest to pay on the share issue.
Reserves will increase to £300,000, ie £160,000 share and £140,000 retained earnings. the company may decide to make a bonus issue of shares in the future.
Proposal 2
Inventory levels could be reduced, so improving the net current asset ratio.
Formula
*
•
If inventory turnover could be increased above 20 times per year, this would generate more cash and improve the liquidity ratios of the business (provided that selling prices do not have to be cut to encourage sales).
(a)
Report
Proposal 1
Hawke Ltd has a higher net profit margin with a lower inventory turnover. This indicates a business that sells higher value items which are not purchased on a regular basis. The liquidity ratios are close to the norms indicating a business with higher inventories and trade receivables than a supermarket. (c)

The proposal is to fund the expansion entirely from external borrowing – your ownership of the company will not be diluted.
Your dividend per share should remain the same and, if profits are increased after paying interest on the loans, will increase.
The company’s gearing ratio is increased by the borrowing, and the company must pay interest on the borrowing.
The overdraft is a current liability which will have the effect of reducing the company’s net current asset (current) ratio and liquid capital (acid test) ratio.
Return on capital employed will be reduced from 7.89% to 5.56% (a smaller reduction than proposal 1).
The company will need a repayment scheme for the external borrowing – this could cause liquidity and cash flow problems in the future.

profit is a calculated figure which shows the surplus of income over expenditure for the year.
Example of how a business can make a good profit during a year when the bank balance reduces or the bank overdraft increases (the question asks for two examples):
•
share £5,000 + £5,000 on rights issue = £10,000
A lower gearing ratio reduces the level of risk to the company and enables it to borrow further funds in the future if required.
(b)
•
•
revaluation reserve £200,000 revaluation – £80,000 net book value = £120,000
The impact of the rights issue and the revaluation of the property has been to reduce considerably the gearing ratio from 37.42% to 12.45%. Even before the adjustments, the company was relatively low-geared; the ratio is much lower after the adjustments.
•

Thus, over the four-month period there is expected to be a change from an overdraft of £7,200 at the start, through a maximum overdraft of £11,600 in August, to £1,200 money in the bank at the end of October. Expected amounts due from trade receivables in November are: £ 12,000 4,800 16,800
•
It is likely that the company will go into overdraft again quite quickly, from November onwards.
•
The company needs to make arrangements for an overdraft facility for July, August and September, with a limit of approximately £12,000.

CASH BUDGET FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDING 30 JUNE 20...
a company can make a profit but have a bank overdraft for a number of reasons, including:
•
20% of cash from sales is received in the month of sale; then 60% is paid in the next month, with 20% two months after sale

Notes:
• no depreciation – a non-cash expense – is shown in the cash budget
• customers pay one month after sale, ie trade receivables from January settle in February
• suppliers are paid one month after purchase, ie trade payables from January are paid in February
(b) The cash budget shows the maximum bank overdraft to be £3,000 in May.
Jim Smith could avoid the need for a bank overdraft in one or more of the following ways (the question asks for two ways): • by commencing his business with a higher initial capital, eg £13,000
• by buying the van on hire purchase or leasing instead of outright purchase
• by reducing his purchases to £3,000 for each of January and February
• by asking his suppliers for two months’ credit for the initial purchases of £4,500 made in January
• by asking his customers to pay more quickly
