The cost of PPE has increased by TZS 40,000,000, but PPE with a cost of TZS
30,000,000 has been disposed of during the year. Therefore, PPE must have been
acquired at a cost of TZS 70,000,000. Of this, TZS 20,000,000 is still owing at the end
of the year, so only TZS 50,000,000 has been spent during the year. Accumulated
depreciation has increased by TZS 40,000,000, but accumulated depreciation on
equipment sold during the year was TZS 18,000,000 (60% of TZS 30,000,000) so the

depreciation charge for the year must have been TZS 58,000,000. The loss on disposal
of equipment was TZS 2,000,000 (TZS 30,000,000 – TZS 18,000,000 – TZS

(d) The company’s cash position has deteriorated during the year, despite selling investments
and raising TZS 110,000,000 of new finance. The main problem seems to be that
operating activities generated a cash outflow rather than a cash inflow, and this made it
difficult for the company to find the cash required to pay dividends and to replace non-
current assets.
The cash outflow from operating activities was caused principally by large increases in
inventories and trade receivables. It may be that the company has been trying to make
itself more attractive to customers by holding greater inventories and offering longer
credit, but this policy has had the inevitable effect on the company’s cash position. The
large proportionate increase in the allowance for doubtful debts suggests that less
rigorous credit control might not be entirely advisable. Without access to recent financial
statement, it is difficult to be sure whether the company has become more or less
profitable in the year to 31st July 2020, but the massive reduction in the taxation liability
may indicate that profits have fallen. In summary, the company seems to have had a bad
year, from both the cash and profits point of view. However, further information would
be required before a full analysis of the situation could be carried out.

ANSWER 4
3. Agree. The full disclosure principle recognizes that reasonable condensation and
summarization of the details of a company’s operations and financial position are
essential to readability and comprehension. Thus, in determining what is full
disclosure, the accountant must decide whether omission will mislead readers of the
financial statements. Generally, companies present only the total amount of cash on a
statement of financial position unless some special circumstance is involved (such as a
possible restriction on the use of the cash). In most cases, however, the company’s
presentation would be considered appropriate and in accordance with the full disclosure
principle.
4. Disagree. The historical cost principle that companies account for assets and liabilities
on the basis of cost. If sales value were selected, for example, it would be extremely
difficult to establish an appraisal value for the given item without selling it. Note, too,
that the revenue recognition principle provides guidance on when revenue should be
recognized. Revenue should be recognized when the performance obligation is
satisfied. In this case, the revenue was not recognized because the critical event for
satisfying the performance obligation, “sale of the land with transfer to the buyer”, had
not occurred.
5. i. From the facts, it is difficult to determine whether to agree or disagree with the
CEO. The CEO’s approach is not a violation of any principle. Consistency requires
that accounting entities give accountable events the same accounting treatment form
period to period for a given business enterprises. It says nothing concerning consistency
of accounting principles among business enterprises. From a comparability viewpoint,
it might be useful to report the information on an average-cost basis. But, as indicated
above, there is no requirement to do so.
ANSWER 5
ii) Long term solvency – Long term solvency of a firm is of great importance to the
long-term creditors, security analysts and the existing and potential owners of the
firm. These parties ae interested in it for examining whether the firm is able to meet
its long leverage ratios and profitability ratios which focus on earning power of the
firm. Analysis of these ratios reveals the strength and weaknesses of a firm in this
respect.
iii) Operating Efficiency – Ratio analysis is also used to assess the operating efficiency
of the firm. Operating efficiency is very important for any firm survival. It depends
on the efficient and effective utilization of its assets, both non-current and current
assets. The analysis of such ratios give light on the degree of efficiency in the
management and utilization of its assets.
iv) Overall financial performance – Management of the firm use ratio analysis to assess
the overall performance of the firm. Therefore, managers will always use different
ratios such as liquidity ratios, efficiency ratios and others to determine how the firm
is performing.
vi. Trend analysis – Trend analysis or time series analysis of the ratios is of crucial
importance to a firm since analysis takes into consideration the time dimension.
Trend analysis of the ratios enables to know whether the financial position of a firm
is improving or not over years.

Profitability 2021
2020
Return on capital employed =Operating Profit 960 x 100% = 35.2% 820 x 100%
= 31.2%
CE 2,730 2,630
Return on equity =Profit after Tax 700 x 100% = 36.3% 580 x 100
= 35.6%
Equity 1,930 1,630
Gross profit margin =Gross Profit 1,340 x 100% = 19.1% 1,220 x 100%
= 19.2%
Sales 7,000 6,350
Net profit margin =Profit Before Tax 880 x 100% = 12.6% 720 x 100%
= 11.3%
Sales 7,000 6,350
These ratios indicate that the business was more profitable in 2021 than it was in 2019. ROCE
and ROE both show an improvement and although the gross profit margin was much the same
in both years, the net profit margin in 2021 (based on profit before tax) was better than in 2020.
This is mainly due to the fact that the company managed to reduce its operating expenses in
2021 despite increasing its turnover.

Purchases 5,710 5,150
The asset turnover ratio indicates that the company has made more efficient use of its net assets
in 2021 than in 2020. The inventory holding period (based on average inventory in each year)
shows a slight reduction in 2021 which may indicate period and the trade payables payment
period in 2021 are both broadly similar to their 2020 equivalents.
Notes:
i. Purchases in 2020 were TZS 5,130,000 – TZS 670,000 + TZS 690,000 = TZS
5,150,000.
ii. Purchases in 2021 were TZS 5,660,000 – TZS 690,000 + TZS 740,000 = TZS
5,710,000.
Virtually all of these ratios indicate that the company is a good investment. Earnings per share
increased in 2021 and the stock market’s regard for the shares (as indicated by the P/E ratio)
also increased. The dividend yield went down but the dividend itself increased by more than
14% and dividend cover was adequate. The company is becoming more low-geared as the
loans are repaid and the interest cover gives no cause for concern.

b). Estimated total contract costs are TZS. 500,000 (TZS 190,000+ TZS 30,000 + TZS
280,000). Costs incurred for the work performed to date (TZS 190,000) are 38% of this
total, so the company measures its progress on the contract to be 38%. The statement of
comprehensive income for the year to 31 May 2020 should include revenue of TZS
228,000 (38% of TZS 600,000) in relation to the contract and expenses (cost of sales) of
TZS. 190,000. This mean that contract profit recognised in the year is TZS. 38,000.
Extract
The statement of financial position at 31 May 2020 should show inventory of TZS 30,000
and a contract asset of TZS 53,000 (TZS 228,000 – TZS 175,000) for the amount not yet
invoiced to the customer for the work done to date. The TZS. 45,000 which has been
invoiced to the customer but has not yet been received (TZS 175,000 – TZS 130,000)
should be shown as a trade receivable.
The figures that will appear in the statement of financial position are shown in the rightmost
column of this table. The amount paid on 30 April 2023 consists of interest of TZS 22,500,
repayment of the original TZS 750,000 and a premium of TZS 75,000.
The total cost of the loan is TZS 215,675. This consists of interest of TZS 90,000, the discount
on issue of TZS 37,175. The effective interest method spreads all these costs fairly over the
duration of the loan.
