losses the company may incur in cases of non-collection: that is the account balance at
the end of the year should either be:

PROBLEM 4 --- Geoffrey and Jekell are partners in the operation of a retail store. They are
concerned about the apparent discrepancy between their income and their volume of sales.
Although they maintain incomplete accounting records, their experience in the business
told them that there is a possible theft or larceny on the part of their staff.

The partners have asked you, in connection with your initial audit covering the calendar
year 2007 to apply such tests as you can to determine whether there is any indication of
shortage.

In the course of your examination you obtain the following facts having a bearing on the
problem.

a. The physical inventory taken December 31, 2007, under your observation, amounted to
P25,000 cost, P23,000 market. The inventory of December 31, 2006, was P38,000 cost,
P36,500 market. It has been the firm’s practice to value inventory at “lower of cost or
net realizable value” treating any loss or decline in market value as “other expense”.
b. Using the treatment of “loss or decline in Net realizable value” of inventory as
mentioned in (a) above, the average gross profit in recent periods has been 35 percent
of net sales. The partners inform you that this percentage seems reasonable and that
they expected the same results for 2007, since their mark-up per cent was
approximately the same as in the past.
c. The December 31, 2006, balance-sheet shows accounts receivable of P48,000. Notes
payable to banks and trade accounts payable were combined on the December 31,
2006 balance sheet. They totaled P26,000. The firm records accounts payable at the
net figure, as cash discounts are seldom missed. Purchases have been shown net in
past income statements. Sales discounts have been treated as deduction from sales in
the past.
d. During 2007, accounts were written off in the amount of P8,000 and an account for
P6,000 written off in 2006 was collected and recorded as a regular collection on
account.
e. Unpaid sales slips show that customers owed P55,000 on December 31, 2007.
f. Unpaid invoices indicate that the firm owed trade creditors P12,000 at the end of 2007.
Record of notes outstanding indicates that P10,000 was owed to banks on December
31, 2007.
g. Sales returns amounted to P3,000 and purchase returns amounted to P4,000.
h. Of the items in the cash records, the following are pertinent:
Receipts:
From customers (after P4,000 discounts) P105,000
CRC-ACE/AP_2nd Preboard Exams October 2007 Page 4 of 7
From bank loan (net of 60 day, 6% discount) 9,900

Disbursements:
To trade creditors (after P8,000 cash discounts) P 70,000
To bank loans 12,000
To customers for returned goods 1,000
Questions:
15. Gross Sales for calendar year 2007
a. 113,000 b. 108,000 c. 120,000 d. 121,000

19. Possible inventory shortage as of December 31, 2007
a. 2,350 b. 7,550 c. 10,800 d. 6,050

PROBLEM 5 – Prepayments in the amount of P363,000 is broken down into Prepaid

Insurance of P120,000, Office Supplies Unused of P18,000 and Advance Rental and Deposit
on Lease of P225,000.
In the year 2007, your client purchased two insurance coverage, one for four (4) motor
vehicles and the other one to cover the cost of the inventory against fire. The face value of
Motor policy is P2,000,000 while that of inventory is P4,000,000. The coverage for both is a
period of one year counting from the date the policy premium was paid for. The motor
policy coverage was taken August 31, 2007 for a premium of P90,000, while that of the
inventory was taken last October 1, 2007 for a premium of P30,000.
To be able to save on costs, the purchasing manager sees to it that the office supplies are
brought not from the regular bookstore but from the retailers of the same located in the
Quiapo areas of the City of Manila. They realized that this arrangement could lead to
savings of around 25% to 30%. You asked for an inventory of supplies as of December 31,
2007 and found out that P11,600 were still unused at year-end.
In the year 2007, the company renewed the lease contract, this time for 3 years with
Palmera Corporation subject to renewal every 3 years with a priority right to buy the
property in the case the owner decides to sell later on. A deposit equivalent to 3 months
rental and advance rental for a year was given and the rest was in the form of postdated
checks to cover the rental for the last two years of the lease contract. The lease contract
states a monthly rental of P15,000, and became effective July 1, 2007.
