Question 1

Joanna Greenhas started a domestic cleaning business Clear View Cleaning (CVC). She started the business on 1st May 2013, it is now 30th June and she has asked for your help in preparing her financial statements. On 1st May Joanna deposited $5,000 into a new bank account opened in the name of the business. The $5,000 consisted of a $2,400 interest free loan from her father and $2,600 of her own money.

Joanna rented some equipment from Perry Equipment Hire. On 1st May, she signed a four-month rental agreement on cleaning equipment (A floor polishing machine and vacuum cleaners ) and paid $400 for the four month rental period. On the similar day Joanna also purchased (for $3,000) an old van to be used exclusively for the business. She thinks that the van has three years of useful life and then will have a resale value of $300.

Joanna has made a note in her diary whenever she has taken items from the business for her personal use. At 30th June she consults her diary and evaluates that she has taken $950 cash and $20 worth of cleaning supplies during the period.

The loan made by her father is to be repaid in twenty four equal repayments. Every repayment is made on the last business day of the calendar month. Normally all of the work done by CVC is performed on account but one domestic customer insisted in paying in cash at the time the work was done. The customer paid $120 and Joanna decided that it was not worth producing an invoice for an amount which had already been received. All work done in the period has been invoiced. Invoices totalling $8,300 had been issued.

At 30thJuneJoanna's customers owe her $900. Herdiary records list payments for supplies totalling $380, and at the end of the period she still has supplies that cost $60 on hand.She paid her employees $2,900, and still owes them $320 for their final week of work.During June Joanna paid her mobile telephone bill of $280 from her personal bank account. She estimates that 60% of the calls made were for the business purposes. She also has an unpaid bill for $125 from Keen Maintenance for a repair made to her floor polishing machine.
