General instructions
Accounting policies
a.Business operations: The Adrenaline Hut is set up as a private non-listed company based in
Canberra with Helena Ginzburg as the sole shareholder. The company derives its main source of revenue
from retail sales of sporting goods.
To assist in selling the products, The Adrenaline Hut rents a large showroom. Note that the business is
required to pay for the rent for this premises in advance.
The electricity and water expenses incurred during the month relate to the running of the showroom.
Additional expenses include an insurance policy to protect the business against inventory items being
damaged or lost during deliveries.
All costs associated with the showroom are classified as selling and distribution expenses.
All part-time employees in the business are sales staff who receive their wages on a weekly basis.
Helena is the only full-time employee and her role is to handle all administrative tasks. Helena's salary is
paid once at the end of each month.
b.Accounting cycle: The business adopts a monthly accounting cycle.
c.Purchases: Purchases are recorded when the business receives the goods. All items purchased are
received on the same day as recorded in the transaction list, except for purchase orders which are
received at a later date. Note that the business uses the gross method of recording purchases and
receives trade discounts and early payment discounts from some suppliers.
d.Revenue recognition: The business recognises revenue when goods sold are delivered to customers.
All items sold are delivered on the same day as recorded in the transaction list except for sales orders,
which are delivered at a later date as agreed with the customer. Note that the business uses the gross
method of recording sales and sometimes grants trade discounts to customers. Past experience has
shown that offering settlement discounts did not increase the likelihood of accounts receivable being
paid promptly. Therefore, settlement discounts are not normally offered to credit customers except in
exceptional circumstances.
e.Sales returns: So that the business can easily track the level of sales returns in relation to overall
sales, all sales returns are recorded using a contra revenue account (Sales Returns and Allowances)
rather than being recorded directly in the Sales Revenue account.
f.Goods and services tax (GST): The company is a registered entity for GST purposes and accounts
for GST on an accrual basis. As a small business, The Adrenaline Hut pays GST in quarterly instalments
and no GST is due to be remitted in the month of June. In the transaction list, all prices of goods and
services that are subject to GST are quoted inclusive of 10% GST unless specifically noted otherwise. In
the list of adjusting entries, all prices are quoted exclusive of GST.
Note that two separate accounts are maintained to record GST paid to suppliers and GST received from
customers during the month. The net difference of these two accounts is reported as GST Payable in the
financial statements when the business is required to pay the net amount to the Australian Taxation
Office. If the business is entitled to receive the net difference from the Australian Taxation Office, this
net amount is reported as GST Receivable. Further, GST does not apply to interest revenue, bank
charges, salaries and wages but GST does apply to Tempathy' payments for rent and electricity.
g.Cash: The business accepts cash and cheques and uses cheques to pay for the majority of its
expenses. On the day cheques are received, Helena deposits them at the bank. It may take a number of
days for the cheques to be cleared by the bank. The business holds its cheque account with BitiBank.
h.Short-term investments: The business holds a six-month term deposit account with BitiBank at a
simple interest rate of 6%. Interest is calculated on a monthly basis and received at the end of the
deposit term. The monthly interest earned is calculated as the yearly interest divided by the number of
months in a year. Note that when the deposit matures, Helena usually rolls over the principal and
interest received at the end of the term. The term deposit account was rolled over on 1 June 2016.
i.Inventories: The business uses the perpetual inventory system and applies the FIFO method to
allocate costs to inventory and cost of sales. Note that the business maintains a set of inventory cards
with multiple pairs of lines to keep track of changes in inventory. In each inventory card under the
Balance column, items with different unit costs are listed in separate lines with the items purchased
earlier listed first in the pair of lines provided.
j.Prepayments: The business has a policy of recording prepayments, including office supplies, as
assets. At the end of the month, adjustments are made to the relevant accounts to recognise the
expense incurred during the accounting period.
k.Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment items are depreciated over their
estimated useful life using the straight line method to calculate the depreciation charge. Depreciation is
allocated on a monthly basis and the monthly depreciation charge is calculated as the yearly
depreciation expense divided by the number of months in a year.
l.Long term liabilities: The business obtained an interest only loan of $44,000 from MRMC Bank on 1
May 2016 at a simple interest rate of 6% per year. The first interest payment is due at the end of July
2016 and the principal on the loan is due on 1 May 2020.
Accounting procedures
The Adrenaline Hut adopts a manual accounting system and uses the general journal and special
journals for the recording of individual transactions. Helena Ginzburg has tailored the design of those
journals to meet the specific needs of the business so the format of those journals may be slightly
different to those you have seen before. However, she advises you that the general principles of how to
use special journals are followed in her business.
The table below shows the journals used by the business and the types of transactions that can be
recorded in each of these journals:
Journal
Code
Transaction type
General journal
GJ
Sales journal
SJ
Purchases journal
PJ
Cash receipts
journal
CRJ
Cash payments
journal
CPJ
To summarise the effects of transactions recorded in those journals, Helena maintains the general ledger
and the following ledgers:
If a transaction affects a subsidiary ledger account, then the entry that involves a subsidiary
ledger account is to be posted to that subsidiary ledger on a daily basis. However, the same
amount posted to the subsidiary ledger account is not posted to the related control ledger account
immediately. This procedure allows the business to keep track of supplier and customer balances
on a daily basis.
In the cash receipts journal or the cash payments journal, if a transaction is recorded in the
Other Accounts column, then the amount recorded in the Other Accounts column is to be posted
to the appropriate general ledger account daily.
If a transaction results in a change in the number of inventory items on hand, then the entry
that affects inventory is to be posted to the appropriate inventory card on a daily basis. In this
way, the business is able to track the balance of inventory on hand.
b.Monthly:
At the end of the month, the totals of each column in the special journals are manually
calculated. Those totals, with the exception of the totals of the Other Accounts columns in the
cash journals, are posted to the appropriate general ledger accounts at the end of the month.
