C2.42 LO 2.10 Cost classifications; schedules of cost of goods manufactured and sold; income statement: manufacturer On 1 January, Bob Earl set up Earl's Gyms Ltd to manufacture and sell children's outdoor play gyms. He was an engineer by profession but he understood the importance of accounting information and kept his accounting records meticulously throughout the year. At the end of the year he prepared the following income statement for the year: Sales Less Operating expenses: Purchases of raw material $240000 Purchases of factory supplies Wages for factory employees who work directly on the play gyms Wages for other factory employees 12 000 90000 12:000 Manager's salary Office staff salaries 48000 12 000 $540000 Sales staff salaries Advertising Administrative expenses Cleaning costs Rent Electricity Purchases of factory equipment Purchases of office equipment Purchases of sales vehicles Total operating expenses Net loss 26 400 6000 9600 6000 30000 5400 168000 12 000 18000 695 400 $(155400)

Although disappointed, Earl was not surprised. He knew that expenses were higher than sales because, throughout the year, he had been unable to generate a cash surplus. His bank overdraft had blown out and his bank manager has asked him to present his financial statements for the year to the bank. Required You are the bank's accountant and the bank manager has asked you to: 1. Review the performance of Earl's Gyms Ltd for the current year and make a recommendation as to whether Earl's overdraft facility should be cancelled. 2. Prepare a report for Earl explaining the errors he made in his income statement. To perform this analysis you will need to update Earl's income statement. The following information may be useful: The factory occupies 80 per cent of the rented building, the sales area 15 per cent and the administration area 5 per cent. All the company's non-current assets are estimated to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value at the end of their life. Earl spends 50 per cent of his time as factory manager and spends the remaining time equally on sales and general administration. Electricity costs are consumed almost entirely by the factory. At 31 December, the following inventories existed: Raw material Work In process Finished goods $24000 48000 1800
