The manager of SNM Sdn Bhd was disappointed with the loss appeared in the Statement of

Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (SPLOCI). He said “This month’s loss is worse than the other months. I think it’s time to start looking for someone to buy out the company’s assets. If we don’t do that, within a few months, there won’t be any assets to sell”.

Mrs.Syirah, the new company’s accountant, disagreed with the manager’s decision. She believes that there was something wrong with the SPLOCI and asked her assistant to investigate. After several days, her assistant provided her with the following information:

1. Some of the operating expenses declared in the SPLOCI are a combination of factory operations and selling and administrative activities. Below are the correct distribution:

• Utilities expenses: 60% for factory and 40% for selling and administrative.
• Insurance expenses: 75% for factory and 25% for selling and administrative
• Rental expenses: 80 % for factory and 20% for selling and administrative
