Casio Ltd is a wholesaler and retailer of stationery and other related products. The company supplies stationery stores and public schools throughout Gauteng and Mpumalanga.

The financial director, Mr. Pentel, has been advised by the bank that a complete set of financial statements are required with the application for a long term loan.
Mr. Pentel is required to attend urgent business in Cape Town and has enlisted your assistance in preparing some of the financial information while he is away. He has provided the following information for the financial year ended 30 June 2024:

The sales agent in Mpumalanga sold 20000 school stationery packs at R132 each by 30 June 2013. The agreement with Casio Ltd was that the sales agent will receive a commission of 15% for each of the stationery packs sold. This information was only received on 4 July 2024 and had not yet been accounted for in the financial records.

R
Finance costs
286000
Insurance expenses paid for July and August 2024

Furniture and equipment:
Furniture and equipment was originally purchased on 1 July 2021 at a cost of R1680000. Depreciation is provided at 10% p.a. This furniture and equipment was destroyed by fire in the factory during the last week of April 2024 and was not insured. The depreciation and loss as a result of the fire has been a correctly accounted for in the operating expenses for the year. Despite the damage caused by the fire, Casio Ltd could still continue business in its existing premises.
On 1 June 2024 the company purchased new furniture and equipment. This new furniture and equipment cost R2100000 and management considers it to have a useful life of 5 years and no residual value.
The tax authorities have granted an annual allowance of 20%(this allowance is not
apportioned for time).
Intangible asset
Casio Ltd obtained the help of a website consultant to design a new website for the company in order to boost on-line sales during the 2023 financial year. The consultant
charged R400
000 for the website development and the financial director agreed to pay R200000 when development commenced. This was capitalized when paid.
However, as many difficulties arose due to additional firewalls required, by the end of the 2023 financial year end management was uncertain whether this website would be feasible and wrote of the R200000 as an expense.
During the 2024 financial year, new software programs became available which aided in the security features required for the website. Management incurred an additional R118000 for this new software program and paid the consultant the balance of his fee. By 30 April 2024, management could prove feasibility of the new website and the availability of a market and subsequently planned to launch the product from 1 May 2024. The financial director, Mr. Pentel, concluded that the website met the requirements of IAS 38 and capitalized the costs incurred in the current financial year. The website is to be amortised over a useful life of 5 years from the date of launch. This cost has not yet been included in the 2024 operating expenses.
Additional information
The deferred tax account had a credit balance of R84560 at the beginning of the year arising from furniture and equipment; royalties received in advance and prepaid insurance.
The assessment received from the tax authorities for the 2023 year reflected that the amount of the assessed tax on taxable profit was R18000 more than the amount provided for current normal tax in the 2023 year.
The normal tax rate is 28% for all periods presented and the inclusion rate for purposes of capital gains is 66.67%.
