Transcripts
okay guys so in today's video we are
going to do some questions that are
related to inventory system so remember
on the previous video where we were
treating a ledger account a purchase
account as well as a trading account
however this is not the only style that
you have to expect when you write your
test or examination under inventory
system you also have to make sure that
you are able to answer some questions
you are able to calculate a markup we
are able to calculate a cost of sales as
well so this is what we are going to do
today without wasting any further time
let's read our question it was question
one from the question paper that was
written in 2019 okay inventory system
the information provided below relate to
business run by S sitole this business
is only shop that sells a school uniform
in each local area okay then
required 1.1 they said acetole has
chosen to implement the inventory system
to calculate this business cost of sales
remember we have two different method on
how we can record our inventory system
you must be able to know the difference
between Perpetual inventory system and
periodic inventory system as we
discussed on the previous video okay so
I'm going to give you further detail if
you even watched part one okay number
one they said
name the other stock system that can be
used remember sitole is using a periodic
inventory system now on question 1.1.1
they want us to identify other methods
than periodic invador system which is
Perpetual inventory system that the
answer for
1.1 okay
1.1.1
Perpetual inventory system okay then
question 1.1.2 discuss a reason why is
it all decided not to use
this method why is Italy decided not to
use Perpetual inventory system reason
number one
this method guys is very expensive
it's very expensive because remember you
have to buy a computer install some
software so that those software will be
able to calculate a cost of sales on
each point of sales so he chose he
didn't desire to choose this method
because it's very expensive number one
number two
the other reason might be this method
is time
consuming
if you are using this inventory system
guys we have to go into a system and
update each and every single item that
we are selling so that the system will
know that the cost of sales of this item
is so much so it's gonna take a lot of
time so that's why he decided not to
choose this method okay then let's
proceed 1.2
calculate the cost of sales for the year
ended 28 February using a periodic
inventory system remember if you are
using a Perpetual inventor system
a system calculates a cost of sales for
us but under a periodic inventory system
we have to calculate it manually using a
a formula okay
so this is what we are going to do for
12 marks we are going to calculate a
cost of sales
all right so before we start with this
calculation guys the first step is to
know the formula that we are going to
use okay when you calculate a cost of
sales under periodic invador system you
have to say
open in balance
of stock
okay you can say open in stock
plus purchase
a purchases remember you have to use a
net purchase which means that if there
is a further detail we are going to add
some we are going to subtract because we
are looking for net balance that you
calculated for example if you use t
account we are looking for the net
balance after you have subtracted all
those donations and all those other
written amount okay
then we have a carriage
on purchase
okay then after that you less
a closing
stock
okay then it's gonna give you
a caused
of sales a courage on purchase is simple
and the same way as
a transport cost is the same okay let's
check our
information information they said the
balances or the total in the general
ledger
they give us amount for 28 February 2017
which is our closing balance and they
give us the one much 2016 which is our
opening balance okay a stock of school
uniform a opening balance they give us
34
thousand
they give us 34 000 okay but closing
they didn't give us which means that we
have to complete
okay then number a additional
information school uniform are only item
bought on credit by this business okay
they are indicating that we have to be
aware of creators control
the suppliers charge 500 per delivery
okay 19 separate orders were made and
delivery during the course of the year
okay one delivery will pay 500 which
means that
under a carriage on purchase we have to
take 500 and we multiply by 19.
okay unless your conclusion here
500
Matlab by
19 okay if you do calculation let's
conclude you're gonna get amount of nine
thousand
five
hundred for Carriage on purchase okay
we're gonna come back on purchase now
all right
then they said a creditors were paid
amount of four hundred and twenty four
thousand five hundred and seventy
we open a brackets because we're still
going to face some additional
information okay it's gonna be 24 24
570
okay then they said four shares with the
cost price of 80 Rand each were damaged
and therefore return to supplier okay
this return has not been
recorded
they return
a faucet and the cost price was 80 Rand
which means that we have to say 4
multiply by 80.
okay if you say for my brother eight
it's gonna give you 300
Trend every time
we have to subtract guys we have to
subtract okay because we no longer
going to do it
to pay this uniform to our supplier
because we return to them okay and then
let's proceed
number e Old Stock valued a 12 000 were
donated to child home which means that
we are not going to sell this item
we we are going to do it
to subtract it under our purchase
remember when we open a t account for
purchase we record it on the credit side
which is going to reduce what we record
on the debit side of purchase okay we're
gonna say minus 12
000 simple as that okay
now again they said
after performing the year end stop
275 item of closing were on hand at
average of night run each so this is our
closing stock we have to say 275 by
night
so that we can get to travel 275
90 run per item and if you do that
calculation you're gonna get
a 24
7 50. remember a closing stock we said
you have to less you have to subtract
you have to indicate by a brackets okay
now
before we go to our closing amount which
is going to be cost of sales the last
one remember
if you check
on top
we have a creditors control amount on
the table okay we have the first the
first one of the current year this is
the one that will purchase
in the current year which means that
it's going to be part of purchase we are
going to edit as 96
thousand however the one that reflects
amount of last year which is 103 000. we
have to subtract it why that amount is
already been paid which means that it's
no longer from part of patience of
currency where to deduct that amount of
103
000.
okay let me just use here minus 103
thousand okay this bracket is bit longer
so you also have to learn how to prepare
a purchase account is also important
make sure that you go back and watch
part one so that you can learn how to
repair Apache account as well okay now
let's let's get the balance for
purchases
it's gonna be if you calculate all this
amount you add whatever that must be
added and you subtract you're gonna get
four
or five
250. simple it's our net purchase and
now we have to add everything and
subtract a closing balance okay if you
do that you're gonna get amount of four
24
000
simple as that guys simple as that so if
you have any question make sure that you
you comment I answer immediately when
you comment just tell me if you are
still struggling or you want some
understanding for for this part please
don't forget to subscribe guys let's uh
this channel grow more and more and also
like this video so that when I upload
any grade 11 video they are going to
send you a notification because you like
a video that is related to to grade 11
okay then now let's go to 1.3
amounted to
742 000.
now they said calculate a markup that is
applied to his school
uniform okay number
1.3.2 what's your opinion on the markup
okay they give us a sales amount and
remember we have a cost of sales so it
is important to get a course of sales
guys so that you can get the following
balances okay
now
when we calculate a markup we have to
use a formula
1.3.1 what's the formula for markup
you have to say a gross
profit
divided by
cost of sales in the modular by 100.
now because we have sales amount and you
also have causal sensor A Cause amount
you can get a gross profit by such a
threatenses to cost of sales Okay so
if you said amount of sales of 720 minus
424
000. you are going to get a gross profit
of 318
000 then you divide by a cost of sales
of four
24
000 and you multiply by
hundreds to get 318 guys you take seven
four two thousand of cells and you
subtract what
cost of sales amount then you will get
this one simple okay then our markup
will be
75 percent if you punch this on your
calculator it will be 75 percent then
the following question now is that what
is your opinion on this markup give a
reason for your answer
okay
what do you think about this markup okay
as you can see this markup is 75 percent
it's 75 over 100 reason number one
uh remember this question have how many
marks
three months
yes they have it remarks which means
that you have to lay down a three point
number one you have to say
the markup
is very high
okay and number two
remember this guy is selling
a uniform
a uniform is a must for you as a student
to weigh it when you go to to school and
remember they say that this is the only
person who is selling a uniform into his
uh place
so which means that at parents they
don't have a choice but to buy a uniform
because he is the only one who is
selling this uniform okay
it's like he's trading as a monopoly you
know what is the Monopoly right where
you don't have a what a competitor okay
which means that the customers
they don't have a choice
customers do not
I have a choice
they have to buy this uniform okay then
another one what we can say is that
acetology is taking advantage of course
because he is the only one who is
selling this uniform he is taking
advantage
because
there is no other place that the
customers will go and do it
and buy a uniform that's the reason
number number three okay what can we
conclude about this
it's depending on your choice
what you can say
the first one is that this is good for
for the owner right because the owner is
getting a higher profit it's good for
the owner but what about the buyer
is better remember not everyone who can
afford expensive uniform uniform is a
need for for for for Learners it's a
need so which means that
on the hand of the owner this is good
because he's making a good profit but on
the hand of the customers this is not
good
at all okay so that's it for for this
