The Conceptual Framework of Accounting: Solutions12

QUESTION 12.1

1. Concept of Going Concern – see text for explanation. Example: The accountant values assets in the balancesheet at cost. If the liquidation of the business was imminent, the assets would have to be valued at market value.

2. Concept of Accruals – see text for explanation. Example: Rent due and unpaid for the last two months of thefinancial year is included in the Profit and Loss Account as part of the Expense Rent.

3. Concept of Prudence – see text for explanation. Example: A provision for bad debts of 5% of outstandingdebtors is maintained.

4. Concept of consistency – see text for explanation. Example: Fixed assets are written off each year on areducing balance system.

QUESTION 12.2

QUESTION 12.3

Concept – PrudenceBase – Research expenditure is not to be capitalisedPolicy – Research expenditure appears as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account of the period in which it was incurred.

QUESTION 12.4

Consistent periods of account allow valid comparisons be made between periods.

QUESTION 12.5

1. Principle of realisation – see text for explanation Example: The rise in value of a fixed asset is not recordedas profit in the period of the rise, but is recorded as profit in the period when the asset is sold.

2. Principle of double-entry – see text for explanation Example: A bank loan received to buy a new delivery vanappears as an asset (delivery vans) and a liability (bank loan due).

3. Principle of objectivity – see text for explanation Example: The valuation and ownership of fixed assets doesnot depend upon the judgement of the accountant but on the receipt paid for the asset and the deeds ofownership.

QUESTION 12.6

An item in the accounts is considered immaterial if its omission would not effect the opinion of the users of the accounts.

QUESTION 12.7 (HIGHER LEVEL)

No, because the accounts, under the money measurement concept, can only show the financial position of the firm. Other factors, relevant or not to the health of the enterprise cannot be shown in the accounts.

(c) Report on the Advisability of Closing Down the Hardware DepartmentThe Hardware Department is suffering a loss of €42,865 on its operations. In accounting terms the net profit on the firm as a whole would rise to €74,695 if the department was shut down but other factors must be considered:

(i) Has the Hardware Department consistently made losses over a number of trading periods or was this just a‘once-off’ loss?

(ii) Can the floor space of the closed department be utilised by the other department or rented out to anotherfirm?

(iii) Can the staff of the closed department be successfully redeployed within the firm?(iv) What, if any, redundancy costs will arise?(v) The closing down of the Hardware Department will not affect the fixed expenses which must be paid, e.g.

debenture interest, rent and rates etc.

Return on shareholders’ funds

These rates compare very favourably with the 10% being charged for the finance.2. Proportion of the Company Owned after the Purchase

The holder of 230,000 of the 400,000 ordinary shares issued would have a controlling interest in thecompany. Thus the holder could change any company policy such as dividend payment etc.

3. Present Dividend PolicyEPS : DPS = 59 cent : 5 centThe ordinary shareholders only received 5 cent out of 59 cent they have earned. This represents only8% of their earnings. This is a very poor payout ratio.

4. Profit TrendsLast year’s Profit and Loss balance was €20,000 loss and this has been turned around into a€197,000 profit. Good trend.

5. Investment PolicyA good investment policy as they have gained 80% in value.

6. LiquidityCurrent Ratio = 212,000 : 72,000 = 3:1Acid Test = 152,000 : 72,000 = 2:1These are both above acceptable norms of 1.5:1 and 1:1respectively.

7. SectorLeisurewear is a growth sector.

8. Share PriceShare price is 20 cent below market price offering a discount of €46,000 on the purchase.

9. GearingThe Debt/Total capital percentage is 27% making this a low-geared firm which would suit an ordinaryshareholder as interest commitments are not high.

Overall I would advise my friend to buy the shares.

(b) Report For: Bank requested for loan €300,000By whom prepared: S. OmebodySubject matter: Advisability of granting the loanBody of report:

1. GearingThe debt / total capital percentage of the company is 33%. Thus it is a low geared company. If the loan isgranted the gearing will become high at 65%, making the fixed interest payment on the loan a greater burdenon company profits. The interest cover now is 20 times but this will fall to five times if the loan is granted,unless profits increase.

2. SecurityCollateral is provided by the fixed assets. At the moment the book value of fixed assets available forcollateral is €556,000 (666,000-110,000). The nature of, and depreciation policy on these fixed assets mustbe ascertained.

3. Purpose of the loanThe loan is for productive purposes. This would suit the bank as it is interested in lending for profit-enhancing projects.

4. SectorFurther investigations are necessary to see if Pendrive Plc is performing comparably well with itscompetitors in the pharmaceutical industry. The area of Research and Development is very important.

5. LiquidityCurrent Ratio = 1.51:1Acid Test = 1.06:1These compare favourably with norms of 1.5:1 and 1:1 respectively.

6. ProfitabilityThe return on shareholders’ funds is 19.8%The return on capital employed is 21%Both compare favourably with the 11% charged on the loan.

7. Investment policy – Investments have risen in value by 11%. Good policy.

Recommendations

Grant the loan provided the market value of tangible fixed assets can provide enough collateral for the loan.With increased profits generated by the new machinery, the loan interest should be easily covered.

QUESTION 19.11 (HIGHER LEVEL)

(b) Interests of Debenture HoldersDebenture holders would be interested in:

1. Repayment dateDebenture loan is due for repayment on 31/12/-6. This is four years hence and there are noreserves set aside for this repayment.

2. SecurityThe security for the debentures is provided by the fixed assets in the year ended 31/12/-1. Thesecurity cover was 460,000:100,000 (or 4.6:1) and in the year ended 31/12/-2 the cover hasimproved to 487,000:100,000 (or 4.9:1). Security cover is satisfactory provided the assets’ bookvalue is a true reflection of their market value.

3. Interest CoverInterest cover has fallen from 4.6 times to four times. This is a drop in cover of 13% in one year. Avery poor trend.

4. LiquidityCurrent ratio fell from 1.25:1 to 1.04:1Acid test ratio fell from .9:1 to .39:1The firm has severe liquidity problems. It is below the norms of 1.5:1 and 1:1 respectively in bothyears and the situation is worsening.

5. Return on Capital Employed 31/12/-2 31/12/-1

= 6.7% 7.6%

The downward trend in profitability is an unhealthy development.6. Dividend Policy (EPS:DPS)

In the year ended 31/12/-1 the company paid each ordinary shareholder a dividend of 5 centdespite earnings per share of only 3.5 cent. In the year ended 31/12/-2, the situation has worsenedto where ordinary shareholders are still receiving a dividend per share of 5 cent despite earningsper share of only 2.5 cent. The company is using profits and reserves to pay dividends, whichwould better suit debenture holders if they were retained as reserves.

7. GearingThe firm is low geared but any possible advantage to the debenture holders is offset by the poor,and worsening, profit performance.

8. SectorThe construction industry is cyclical. If the industry is heading into the downward part of thecycle, the debenture holders can see no end to the poor profit performance.The debenture holders would be worried about their loan repayment in four years time. If thepresent trends in profitability and liquidity continue, they may consider calling in a receiver.

3. Present Dividend PolicyEPS:DPS = 63 cent : 25 centThe ordinary shareholders are 25 cent out of the 63 cent they earned. This is a payout rate of 40%.Shareholders would be satisfied with these figures.

6. LiquidityCurrent ratio = 1.6:1Acid test = 0.8:1Current ratio is acceptable but the acid test ratio is below the accepted norm of 1:1.

7. Contingent LiabilityIf this materialises, then an already poor liquidity situation will worsen.

8. SectorComputer software is a successful but highly mobile industry. Unless the Research andDevelopment function is located in Ireland, the company could lose out to lower wage economiesin Eastern Europe or Asia.

9. DebenturesDebentures are repayable in two years time but there are reserves built up and there is enough timeto meet the €150,000 payout.Overall, this is a sound investment, the only worrying point being the liquidity and the contingentliability.

(b) Interests of Ordinary ShareholdersOrdinary shareholders would be interested in:

1. Profit trendsReturn on shareholders’ funds has improved from 2.25% to 8.8%. This is a healthy trend.The return on capital employed has risen from 5.2% to 13.6% which compares favourablywith returns from risk free investments.

2. DividendsDividend cover has improved from 1.6 times to 2.75 times. The cover is low but improving.Dividend Policy (EPS:DPS) in the year ended 31/12/-5 was to give 62% of earnings toordinary shareholders as dividends. This dropped to 36% for the year ended 31/12/-6. Thecompany is retaining more profits as reserves.Dividend yield has doubled from 1.3% to 2.6%. The yield is low by comparison with yieldsfrom risk-free investments but the trend is good.

3. LiquidityCurrent ratio has improved from 1.03:1 to 2:1Acid test ratio has improved from 0.3:1 to 1.4:1The liquidity position is much healthier and the trend is good.

4. SectorThe current economic health of the industrial sector would be of interest to shareholders.This is linked directly to the health of the economy as a whole.

5. GearingGearing is low at around 25%. This suits ordinary shareholders as less profit is devoted tofixed interest repayments.

6. Interest coverThis has improved from 4.6 times to 12.6 times. This is a healthy trend.

7. SecurityThe book value of fixed assets has fallen, probably due to depreciation charges. The shareholderswould need to know the nature of and depreciation policy for, all fixed assets.

8. Market PriceThe stock market price may be a guide to the general health of the company. The price hasrisen by 23% in the last year. Coupled with a rising P/E ratio, the indications are that themarket has confidence in the company. However share prices are prone to movement due torumours of takeover bids, general economic conditions, political events and many otherfactors which have little to do with the company itself.

(c) Limitations of Ratio Analysis

1. Ratios deal with figures only. Figures in isolation do not give a full picture of the company.2. Comparisons of the company over time may be misleading if conditions have changed.3. Changes in the value of money due to inflation will distort the ratios.4. Comparisons of different companies must take into consideration different accounting

QUESTION 19.14 (HIGHER LEVEL)

Fryere Plc

(b) Would the Bank grant the Loan?A bank which has been asked for a loan would be interested in:

1. GearingThe firm is low geared but the rate is rising from 30% to 34%. If the loan is granted, the gearingwould rise to 65% making it a highly geared firm. This would make fixed interest repayments agreater burden on company profits. The interest cover is good at 20 times but this would fall if theloan is granted, unless profits increase.

2. Purpose of the LoanThe loan is for productive purposes. This would suit the bank as it is interested in lending for profitgenerating projects.

3. CollateralCollateral is provided by the fixed assets. At the moment, the book value of fixed assets availablefor collateral is €778,000 (898,000 – 120,000). The nature of, and depreciation policy for, thesefixed assets must be ascertained.

4. LiquidityCurrent ratio has improved from 1.03:1 to 1.3:1Acid test ratio has improved from .6:1 to 1.1:1These are healthy trends.

6. ProfitabilityReturn on capital employed has dropped from 28% to 19%.Return on shareholders funds has dropped from 37% to 26%.While the rates of profitability are high, the falling trend is unhealthy.

The bank would grant the loan after careful examination of the security available.

QUESTION 19.15 (HIGHER LEVEL)

(b) Interests of Ordinary ShareholdersOrdinary shareholders would be interested in the following:

1. Profit trendsReturn on shareholders’ funds has improved from 19% to 27%. This is a very healthy trend .Return on capital employed has improved from 18% to 24% which compares favourably with risk-free investments.

2. DividendsDividend cover has dropped slightly from 2 times to 1.58 times. This is low cover.Dividend Policy/(EPS:DPS) in the year ended 31/12/-2 was to give 49% of earnings toshareholders in the form of dividends. This rose to 63% in the year ended 31/12/-3. Shareholderswould be happy with this trend.Dividend yield has risen from 6.7% to 12%. This is a good yield by comparison with most risk-free investments. The trend is rising.

(b) Report

For: Bank requested for loan €200,000By whom prepared: A. StudentSubject matter: Advisability of granting the loan

Body of report:

1. GearingThe debt/total capital percentage of the company is 16%. Thus it is a low geared company. If the loan isgranted, the gearing will rise to 43% which is still low. The interest cover is 4.47 times at the moment but atthe present profit level, the €26,000 annual interest would reduce the cover to 2.2 times, which is too low forcomfort.

2. SecurityCollateral is provided by the fixed assets. At the moment, the book value of the fixed assets available forcollateral is €595,000 (715,000 – 120,000). The nature of and depreciation policy for these fixed assets mustbe ascertained. The presence of a revaluation reserve in the Balance Sheet shows assets have been revaluedin the past and they may need to be revalued again.

3. Purpose of the LoanThe loan is to finance new technology. The bank would be interested in lending for profit-generatingventures.

4. ProfitabilityThe return on shareholders’ funds is 1.6%The return on capital employed is 8.6%These compare unfavourably with the 13% being charged on the loan. If the profit trend is falling, the loaninterest would become an increasing burden on the company, eventually becoming unsustainable. Projectedprofit figures would be required from the company.

5. LiquidityThe current ratio is 1.2:1 and the acid test is 0.5:1. These are poor when compared with norms of 2:1 and 1:1respectively.

6. SectorThe ice-cream market is seasonal and dependent on good summer weather. The fact that closing stock isnearly four times greater than opening stock suggests that the company may have had a poor year and that itis producing goods that are not selling and being stored. The closing stock may be overvalued.

Recommendation: Refuse the loan.

QUESTION 19.17

(b) Interests of Ordinary ShareholdersOrdinary shareholders would be interested in the following:

1. Profit TrendsReturn on shareholders’ funds has improved from 21% to 24%. This is a healthy trend. Return oncapital employed has improved from 24.6% to 27%. This is a healthy trend and comparesfavourably with returns from risk-free investments.

2. DividendsDividend cover has dropped slightly from 5.6 times to 5.3 times. Dividend policy (EPS:DPS) inthe year ended 31/12/-6 was to give 18% of earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends. Thishas remained fairly constant at 18.5% in the year ended 31/12/-7. Shareholders would be satisfiedwith this policy. Dividend yield has risen from 3.08% to 4.76%. The trend is positive.

3. LiquidityCurrent ratio has improved from 1.3:1 to 1.4:1Acid test has improved from 0.8:1 to 1.04:1The current ratio is below the accepted norm of 1.5:1 minimumThe acid test is above the accepted norm of 1:1Both ratios have a positive trend.

4. Revaluation ReserveThe revaluation reserve increased by €60,000 over the year. This indicates that a fixed asset,probably land, had a market value in excess of its book value. The increase in the value of the assetrepresents unrealised profits for the shareholders. They would be satisfied with this.

5. SectorFoldups Plc serves the computer industry. This is a growth sector.

(e) Advice for the GalvinsThe margin on cattle and milk is 47%, on pigs 4%, and there is a loss on horses. Depending on the acreagedevoted to each enterprise, it would appear that Galvin should specialise in cattle and milk and end the othertwo enterprises. There may be expensive shut down costs involved. The farm’s liquidity situation is such thatthe money that is presently tied up in current assets, especially stocks and cash, could be more profitablyutilised in fixed assets which would generate profits.

(d) Advice to the McArdle FamilyThe farm made a profit of €24,940 during the year. This represents a return on capital employed of justunder 5%. This would have to be compared with previous years and returns from similar enterprises. The peracreage contribution of cattle and milk was €164.50 per acre (23,030/140) and the per acreage contributionof barley was €61.83 per acre (3,710/60).The return on the cattle and milk enterprise is superior to that on barley so a higher concentration on cattleand milk is desirable but may not be possible due to suitability of land, milk quotas available etc.
