QUESTION 3: Accounting Concepts, Communication
Part 1: The Business Letter
You are employed as a graduate accountant in a mid-tier accounting firm called Professional Accounting Solutions. As part of your ongoing professional development, the Managing Partner periodically presents you with a client's financial statements and asks you for comments in your own words (using references where appropriate), to demonstrate your understanding of various accounting concepts and assumptions.
This year, the managing Partner has provided you with the reports of Cycles'R Us and has asked that you write a formal business letter to her addressing the technical issues referred to below. She will then keep the letter on your employment file. The letter should be no more than 300 - 400 words (maximum). Penalties may be applied if the word limit is exceeded.
REQUIRED: On the following page, you are required write a letter in your own words to Christine Daniels (Managing Partner) addressing the three issues referred to below.
You have been presented with the accounts of Cycles'R US (a cycling shop owned and operated by Judy Wheeler) for the year ending 30 June 2018, and asked to explain the following:
1. Judy purchased a computer on 1 June 2018. Identify the correct treatment for recording the computer and explain why we cannot simply expense the entire cost. Refer to any appropriate accounting assumptions and/or definitions in your response.
2. Business owners often mistakenly believe that the 'carrying amount' of an asset in the Balance Sheet represents the asset's market or replacement value. With this in mind, explain the meaning of the amounts in the balance sheet extract below.
