Question 1 Read the case study ‘Wi R Tools’ below and answer the questions which follow. Wi R Tools Until recently, Winston Roberts has worked as a successful local handyman for a number of years and has developed a loyal clientele. Unfortunately, he is now finding physical activity more difficult and recently decided to invest some of his savings in a new, small retail business which would take advantage of his valuable experience, contacts and knowledge. Two and a half months ago, on Tuesday 1 July 20X1, Winston opened to the public a small shop called ‘Wi R Tools’ which sells tools and home improvement hardware as well as hires tools out. Most of Winston’s business has been for cash but he has given credit to a few customers he knows well. Winston has also taken advantage of the offer of credit from 2 wholesalers. Winston is not computer literate and only keeps the minimum of financial records he thinks are needed to run his business and honour his legal responsibilities. He uses a small exercise book in the shop to record all financial transactions except for cash sales which are recorded on till slips generated by a cash register. Winston makes payments either by cash or by cheques drawn on his business bank account. He makes all his cash payments from his cash float as he does not keep a petty cash account. On Saturdays after closing the shop, starting from the 12 July 20X1, Winston totals up the till slips (cash register receipts) for the week. He then deposits his week’s cash received (net of his week’s cash payments) into his business bank account, ensuring he always retains a cash balance of £200 in the shop at the start of the following week. Winston has a daughter, Jackie, who has recently been awarded a Professional Certificate in Accounting from a leading UK university. Jackie is about to start a training contract with an accounting practice in order to complete her professional qualification, but currently has time available to help her father run his business. Jackie has offered to produce double-entry bookkeeping records for Winston on Excel. She has convinced her father of the importance of using double-entry bookkeeping in order to produce ‘true and fair’ accounts. Winston is aware that he only needs to provide accounts once a year for tax purposes but thinks it might be a good idea to produce final accounts for the first two months of his new business so that he can assess how ‘Wi R Tools’ is progressing. Jackie has gone through all of Winston’s records in fine detail and has produced the following list of the financial records of ‘Wi R Tools’ for its first two months of trading.

Winston did a stock take and calculated that the stock value of tools was £2,224 and that of hardware was £423. He took gas and electricity readings and estimated that the business used £73 worth of heat and light in the two months ending 31.8.20X1. Finally, Winston also decided that all fixed assets would have an estimated useful life of 4 years and no estimated residual value. Depreciation on all fixed assets will be provided on the straight line method. After a careful look at her father’s business – as well as some lively discussions – Jackie has designed a double-entry system using worksheets that she believes would best suit the accounting and bookkeeping requirements of ‘Wi R Tools’. At the centre of the system is an account which would combine both the bank account and the cash account. Jackie decided to call this account a cash book, as her father was familiar with this term, which would serve as a book of prime entry as well as a nominal ledger account. Jackie’s task now is to transfer all the financial records in her list above into the worksheets she has set up and which could be linked using appropriate formula.
