GBS 520 ASSIGNMENT TWO JOY LTD JOY Ltd operates a business to do with warehousing and distribution of books and CD's for Gladys Ltd, an on-line business. For this purpose, JOY rented warehouses in each major town in the country and the actual delivery of orders was outsourced to a courier service. The market was becoming increasingly competitive and the year ending 31 December 2021 had not been as successful as the previous years. The founder and CEO was very frustrated with the complex integrated computer system that dealt with all the logistics. The system is down most of the time; as a result, money is lost through lost business and poor service delivery. The CEO is of the view that there is real fear that Gladys Ltd may penalize the company or indeed engage another company in the place of JOY Ltd. A lot of money is spent on computer consultants who practically live at JOY's offices and what is worse they do not appear to make any difference. Since the logistical system was linked to the general ledger, all the problems had been making meaningful reporting and financial management extremely difficult. This has caused the JOY accountant to quit just before year end. The bookkeeper extracted the following information for the year ending 31 December 2021 and forwarded it to you (all accounts are to be prepared to the nearest K1000): Gladys was JOY's only customer and all sales were made on credit. JOY processed 1.62 million orders during the year and charged Gladys K20 per order fulfilled. The delivery charge paid to the courier was treated as the cost of goods sold and it was K6.50 per order (i) (ii) (v) (vi) 3333 (iii) At the time of setting up JOY Ltd, 20 million ordinary shares of par value K1 per share were issued.

(viii) Gladys takes a long time to settle its accounts and as at year end was taking 56.7 days to settle their account. (ix) The goods in JOY's warehouse belonged to Gladys. Packaging material and consumables on hand at 31 December 2021 were valued at K0.420 million.

Company income tax rate was 25% and company dividend policy was to pay half the earnings after tax as dividend. The CEO knew that they had a lot of money in the bank at the year end, had not received the bank statement and no reconciliation statement had been prepared.
