Notes

• All adjustments listed should be included in the restatement of the adjusted trial balance.
• The Statement of Profit and Loss should show the cost of sales, gross profit, distinguish between Administration, Selling and Financial Expenses and show the before and after income tax profit or loss.
• Other expenses should be part of Administration Expenses unless otherwise specified.
• Office related expenses should be treated as Administrative Expenses.
• Sales and Workshop related expenses should be treated as Selling Expenses.
• The salary related expenses of the MD should be included in Selling Expenses.
• The company operates a financial year end of 30 June and prepares a Business Activity Statement annually. GST owing is paid in July each year and company tax of 30% is paid in September each year.
• Depreciation is calculated using the diminishing balance method at the rates shown in the Depreciation Schedule below.
• Tax depreciation is the same as Accounting Depreciation so there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities associated with non-current assets.
• The COGS account is treated as a clearing account for the purchase and sale of inventory and is not required to be used for calculations in the general purpose financial statements.

• Less Purchase Returns and Allowances
• Less: Discounts Received
• Add: Freight Inwards
• Cost of goods available for sale
• Less Closing Inventory

Notes related to Employees' salaries

• Fulltime employees (excluding the MD) are entitled to 3 months Long Service Leave (LSL) on full pay after completing 10 years' of service. All employees are very loyal and are expected to reach the 10 years' of service.
