(30 Marks

could I please have help with this question I don't understand.

The scenario Enterprise Print Limited is a small printing company. It had been highly profitable for a number of years and its growth had been quite remarkable. The Chairman and Managing Director, Tom Laird, had always been meticulous in supervising all company activities, but over recent years he has been finding it increasingly difficult to maintain day-to-day control. Tom has been careful to minimise the company's administrative costs. The annual financial accounts had always confirmed his intuitions about the company's progress, so there seemed to be no need for more frequent reporting. However, because of the recent pandemic, Enterprise Print Ltd has been finding it very difficult to win new contracts. It is company policy to depreciate all company vehicles at 20% per annum on a reduced-balance basis. The company's premises are listed buildings, and accordingly, there are restrictions on refurbishment. Tom had noticed deterioration, and he was relieved that these buildings are depreciated annually at 1% on a straight-line basis. It is company policy to pay a total dividend of 10,000, and Tom is proposing to retain this policy, but is not convinced it will be possible. Tom has explored various ways to improve the sales of the company, and the Marketing Manager, Siobhan McCall, has also outlined a number of ideas. Siobhan is proposing to start an online service for the local community; according to her business plan, the sales revenue would increase by 20%. However, Siobhan estimates that there will be an initial cost of 50,000, and operating costs will increase by 5%. Her second proposal is to allow discounts to students, which she forecasts will yield a 2% increase in revenue, after any additional costs. However, Tom is not convinced that providing service directly to students will increase the revenue. Tom is looking to approach local companies in an effort to promote his business. Tom decides to review the financial position of the company before making any decisions about future plans, and the company accountant prepare the Trial Balance for 31 December 2021 (see over).
