(b)The accrual concept has been violated. Under the accrual concept, revenues should be recognised when earned and expenses should be recognised when incurred, and not when money is received or paid. 0.5

Rental revenue for the year ended 31 March 2014 should be $96,000 (= $8,000 × 12) instead of the $88,000 amount received. 0.5

(c)The business entity concept has been violated in item (iv). 1

According to this concept, a business is to be treated as an entity separate from its owner. No personal transactions of the owner are to be recorded in the books of the business. Therefore, the cost of repairs to Henry Chan’s home should not be recorded as a business expense. 1

(b)A reserve is an amount set aside out of profits that is not used to meet any liability. Thus, a reserve is not a future economic obligation. It is actually part of the undistributed profits of the business and belongs to shareholders. 1.5

A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. This means the business has a present obligation arising from a past event, but the timing or amount of expenditure required for settlement has to be estimated. 1.5

(b)Difference in net profit

= $220,000 (under absorption costing) $170,000 (under marginal costing)

= $50,000 (higher under absorption costing) 1

The difference in net profit arises because the closing inventory is valued differently under the two approaches. Under absorption costing, a portion of fixed manufacturing costs are absorbed in the closing inventory. However, under marginal costing, all fixed manufacturing costs are treated as period costs and written off in the current period. Only variable manufacturing costs are included in the closing inventory. 2
