4.4 Explain what test bank is transposition error is and
identify how you can detect that one has occurred.
A transposition error occurs when two of the digits recorded in the
transaction are transposed (switched). For example, if stationery was purchased
for $276 and the entry to record stationery was made for $267. The error can be
identified as a transposition error as the difference is divisible by 9. i.e.
276-267 = 9. Similarly, if the same amount was entered as $726 then the
difference is 726-276 = 450. The figure 450 again is divisible by 9.
4.5 Distinguish between personal transactions
and business transactions. Illustrate with five examples of each test bank is available.
Business
transactions involve an exchange of goods between the business entity and
another entity. Examples of business
transactions include the following:
· Payment of rent of building
· Purchase of goods from supplier
· Sale of goods on credit to customer
· Payment of tax to the Australian Taxation Office
· Payment of test bank to employees
Personal
transactions of the owner, partners or shareholders do not involve an exchange
of goods between the business entity and another entity. They involve a
transaction between the individual and another entity. An example of a
non-business transaction could include the following textbook solutions:
· Payment of personal health insurance
· Purchase of family car
· Taking the family on an overseas holiday paid for in cash
· Sale of personally owned shares in Coles Myer
· Purchase of tickets to the AFL Grand final by the individual
It is important
to keep business transactions separate to those of the owner(s) as the
financial reports for the entity should reflect the performance, position and
cash flow of the entity only and not include personal assets.
If payments for
these types of transactions are made out of business funds the amount should be
treated as a reduction in the owner’s equity (drawings) and it is therefore
recorded as a business transaction of textbook solutions.
4.6 Explain what is meant
by an ‘arm's length business transaction’ when a business buys accounting
software on credit.
An arm’s length distance can be described as ‘where the parties are
dealing from equal bargaining positions, neither party is subject to the other’s
control or dominant influence, and
the transaction is treated with fairness, integrity and legality. An
arm’s length transaction is recognised when there has been an exchange of
resources between the company and another entity, such as a company purchasing accounting
software on credit from a supplier. In this situation neither the company nor
the supplier is under the 'control' of the other entity, there is no undue
force in the transaction.
4.7 What
is the purpose of an income statement for an entity? List typical items that you would see in an income statement
for a florist.
The Income statement reports on the revenues less the expenses for
the entity. Revenue would be flower
sales. Examples of expense items include cost of flowers sold, wages, rent,
interest expense, depreciation of fittings, electricity, internet and insurance for textbook solutions is available.
