Sandra owns Periwinkle's Boutique, a company specializing in good-quality, high-priced clothing. The materials are purchased from local suppliers and South Korea for premium cloths, made up into the finished garments in her own factory, and then sold in the local markets through distributors and agents.
During the year ended 30 December 2020 Sandra had sales of RM260,040. Inventory levels have remained relatively consistent over the years, the starting inventory being RM21,500 and the closing inventory RM22,500.
Sandra has two admin staffs to assist and the total of wages for the year only RM24,500.
Even though she is not able to open her boutique during MCO, still the local council required her to pay for the business rates. She has paid a total of RM7,500 but there is a high possibility that she will have to pay a further RM2,450.
For the imports materials from South Korea, it is necessary to pay all of the flight costs. These amounted to RM5,200 over the year. She delivers all of her invoices to her agents and distributors in person and is paid promptly, with the exception of one debtor who owes RM2,000 and who has been declared bankrupt. This amount is to be written off.
Due to pandemic Covid-19, Sandara has to make advertising of her designed shirts, blouses etc through Facebook, Instagram and websites. She has to pay RM20 per week for the costs of advertising throughout social media.
Insurance of RM3,500 has been paid, but RM650 of this relates to the year ending 31 December 2020. Electricity bills amounted to RM2,900, but the bill for the final quarter is still outstanding and is expected to be approximately RM500. Purchases of cloth from South Korea for the year are currently recorded as being RM65,000, but there is an outstanding bill of RM3,500 which is not yet included in that figure.
The factory and the machinery were bought at the same time and originally cost RM400,000. Depreciation has accumulated to the sum of RM100,000. The current year charge is 5 per cent on the reducing balance basis.
