Kolala Co. is a company in the textile manufacturing industry based on the Copperbelt province of Zambia. You work as Finance Manager for Kolala Co. Directors of the company decided to close down one of the companys divisions due to some difficulties experienced recently with sales going down tremendously.

Below is a trial balance of Kolala Co., as at 31 March 2021.

The following information is relevant:

i) Kolala Co. has a policy of revaluating its land and buildings each year-end. The balances in the

above trial balance are as a result of the revaluation exercise at 31 March 2020. At this date, the

buildings economic useful life had not changed which was 40 years at the date of acquisition on

1 April, 2010. Consequently, on 31 March 2021, land and buildings were revalued to K235 million

and K415 million respectively. Kolala Co. does not make an annual transfer to retained earnings

of excess depreciation and there is no deferred tax effect on revaluation surplus.

Of the revaluation surplus of K56 million in the trial balance, K30 million relates to buildings and K26 million relates to land.

Plant and machinery is depreciated at 20% per annum on the reducing balance basis. All depreciation of items of property, plant and equipment is charged to cost of sales.

ii) Early in April 2021, just before the financial statements were approved, Kolala Co.s directors

discovered a material fraud in which K40 million worth of trade receivables as shown in the trial balance at 31 March 2021 had in fact been paid but cash allegedly stolen by the companys credit control team.

iii)Revenue includes K18 million for cash sales made through Kolala Co.s division during the year on behalf of Amaka Ltd. Kolala Co. acting as an agent is entitled to commission of 10% of the sales

value of the goods. At 31 March 2021, Kolala had remitted the difference of K16.2 million to Amaka Co. (included in cost of sales).

iv) The estimated provision for income tax on the profit for the year ended 31 march 2021 is K34.75

million. During the year, the companys taxable temporary differences increased by K120 million. The deferred tax relating to the increase in temporary taxable differences should be taken to profit and loss. The applicable income tax rate is 20%.
