the bad debt expenses.

9) In the cash and cash equivalents the sale of motor vehicles have been adjusted amount of
12000.
10) The receivable of the company have been adjusted with the bad debt expenses.
11) Depreciation of the furniture and fixtures have been adjusted after deducting the
accumulated depreciation charged in straight line basis from the Furniture and fixtures cost.
12) Motor vehicles have been adjusted with the accumulated depreciation at further
depreciation have charged in reducing balance method.
The allowance receivables will decrease the overall balances of the receivables account as the
receivable are adjusted with the allowances or provision created for bad debt from the net
amount. Hence there will be a decrease in the irrecoverable due to such provision made in the
bad debt of the company. Hence it can be said that bad debt expenses is recorded in the
income statement of Tom (Cañibano 2018).
In the exam hall, the easier method to solve the above problem is that it is important to do the
workings of the adjustment in the books of accounts. After doing all the workings it will be
better to then prepare the income statement and the balance sheet of the company. the
adjustment made is recorded in the process of the double entry method of books keepings
which further means that each of the adjustments must be made and the effect of such

adjustment is reflected twice while [preparing the income statement and balance sheet of the
company.
Answer to Question number 2
The average selling price of the garden equipment’s is 39.71 as per the above
evaluation from the given data in the question. Accordingly the variable cost and the
contribution of the garden equipment is also evaluate which is 583800 and 289820
respectively.
The beak even point in monetary terms is amounted to 373780 in the year 2017 when
the business broke as the set of garden equipment’s.

number will be the 147 which is considered as the nearest whole number and if the result is

8BUSINESS MANAGEMENT FINANCE
suppose the 147.89, then in that case the round off will be the 148. Hence, it makes more
sense to round up the number to the nearest whole number (Christ and Burritt 2015).
In order to earn a profit of 200000, 24595 set of the garden equipment must be sold in
that case to earn such profit margin. The margin of safety of the garden equipment is
amounted to 499840.
If the set are sold together it may be useful for the business to work out because it will
show better cost management if the allocation is properly made. Hence evaluating the
individual contribution will further provide a better picture of the cost allocated and helps to
identify the contribution provided in such a case.

business is selling its product at a competitive price which further means at loss. This further
implies that in the future the company is going is take huge market at such competitive
pricing policy (Geisler and Wickramasinghe 2015). Here the main advantage is that the
company will be thriving in a no profit and no loss situation and after that the company is
going to earn profit in the long run due to such competitive pricing policy.
Answer to Question number 3

rectify it accordingly.

system in the right track through the process of the business intelligence application as it
deviates from the normal behavior of the business (Winfree et al. 2018). Exception
management duty is to fulfill to exceptions made due to such outsets in the business (Penno
2017).
