ii) An invoice from a supplier for goods amounting to GH¢25,500 plus VAT at 10% was not recorded in the books and records of Sodzedo.
iii) During the bank reconciliation process, it came to light that GH¢525.70 was earned in interest during the year and has not been accounted for.
iv) A review of the ledgers revealed that receivables were overcast by GH¢75,720.
v) Cash drawings by Sodzedo of GH¢5,610 were treated as cash sales in error.

Required:
Prepare a suspense account to clear the difference. (5 marks)

c) Ansah and Boakye have been in partnership for a number of years. The partners did not have a partnership agreement. The following balances have been extracted from the books as at 1 January 2018:

Capital Accounts:

Partner Amount (GH¢)
Ansah 160,000
Boakye 240,000

Current Accounts:

Partner Amount (GH¢)
Ansah 10,400 Dr
Boakye 8,200 Dr

On 1 July 2018, they decided to admit Owusu to the partnership. On this date:
Owusu introduced capital of GH¢150,000 into the partnership. The amount was paid into the bank account.

Non-current assets were revalued from GH¢280,000 to GH¢420,000. Inventory was revalued from GH¢70,000 to GH¢30,000. Goodwill was valued at GH¢150,000. It was decided that goodwill would not remain in the books of the new partnership.

The three partners agreed that:

  • Profits and losses would be shared equally.
  • Under the new partnership agreement, 10% interest per annum on capital is allowed. The interest on capital is calculated on the adjusted balances after admission of Owusu.
  • Each partner would receive a salary of GH¢27,000 per annum. No interest on drawings would be paid.

The net profit before appropriation for the year ended 31 December 2018 was calculated at GH¢471,800. Profits earned accrued evenly throughout the year.

The partners’ drawings were:

Partner Amount (GH¢)
Ansah 85,000
Boakye 62,000
Owusu 38,000

Required:

i) Prepare the Capital Accounts for Ansah, Boakye, and Owusu for the year ended 31 December 2018. (8 marks)
ii) Prepare the Appropriation Account for Ansah and Boakye for the half year ended 30 June 2018. (2 marks)

 

Answer

Revaluation Surplus Calculation:

  • Non-current assets revaluation: GH¢140,000
  • Inventory revaluation: GH¢(40,000)
  • Net Revaluation Surplus: GH¢100,000

Goodwill in Old Ratio:

  • Ansah 150,000 x 1/2 = 75,000
  • Boakye 150,000 x 1/2 = 75,000

Goodwill in New Ratio:

  • Ansah 150,000 x 1/3 = 50,000
  • Boakye 150,000 x 1/3 = 50,000
  • Owusu 150,000 x 1/3 = 50,000

(8 marks evenly spread using ticks)

d) Appropriation Account for Ansah and Boakye for the half year ended 30 June 2018

Particulars GH¢
Net Profit 235,900
Share of Profits:
– Ansah 117,950
– Boakye 117,950
Total 235,900
