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

requires an allowance or provision be made for possible expenses or losses, whether the amount is
certain or just an estimate.
Under this concept, an allowance should be made at the end of an accounting period for accounts
receivable that are likely to become uncollectible (i.e., doubtful accounts). The amount of doubtful
accounts is only an estimate

—only transactions that capable of being expressed in monetary terms are included in the accounting
records of any entity
—good reputation cannot be quantified in terms of money and should not be reflected in the

Valuation of inventory (存貨的計價)

Weighted average cost method (加權平均成本法)

Homework 1

Weighted average cost per unit
= [$28,800 + (10 x $4,000) + (15 x $4,000) + (17 x $4,500)] / (8 + 10 + 15 + 17)
= $4,106
Inventory as at 31 December = (50 – 12 – 20) x $4,106
= $73,908

Homework 2

(a) / Weighted average cost per unit
= [(2,000 – 100) x $60 + (2,000 – 100) x $70 + 1,200 x $90] / (2,000 + 2,000 + 1,200 – 100 – 100)
= $355,000 / 5,000
= $71
(b) / Abnormal inventory loss = 50 x $71 = $3,550
Dr Profit and loss (abnormal inventory loss) $3,550
Cr Purchases $3,550
Inventory as at 31 December 2016 = (5,000 – 1,400 – 2,000 – 50) x $71
= 1,550 x $71
= $110,050

Lower of cost and net realisable value (成本與變現淨值孰低法)

Homework 6

Net realisable value = $100 $20 $10 = $70
Since the cost of the good ($25) is less than its NRV ($70), the cost of the good will get recorded as the cost of
inventory.

Homework 8

Net realisable value = $500$100 = $400
Since the net realisable value is lower than the cost, this inventory item should be valued at net
realisable value $400.

Goods sent or received on a sale or return basis (銷售或退回方式)

Homework 10

Inventory as at 31 December 2015 = $42,600 $1,250 + $2,400 / 125%
= $42,600  $1,250 + $1,920
= $43,270

Homework 15

Cost of inventory sent on sale or return basis = $4,500 / 125% = $3,600
Inventory as at 31 March 2016 = $50,000 + $3,600
= $53,600
