Question 4 财务报告和会计考试代考
4(a)
Bodyline sells sports goods and clothing through a chain of retail outlets. It offers customers a full refund facility for any goods returned within 28 days of their purchase provided they are unused and in their original packaging. In addition, all goods carry a warranty against manufacturing defects for 12 months from their date of purchase. For most goods the manufacturer underwrites this warranty such that Bodyline is credited with the cost of the goods that are returned as faulty. Goods purchased from one manufacturer, Header, are sold to Bodyline at a negotiated discount which is designed to compensate Bodyline for manufacturing defects. No refunds are given by Header, thus Bodyline has to bear the cost of any manufacturing faults of these goods.
Bodyline makes a uniform mark-up on cost of 25% on all goods it sells, except for those supplied from Header on which it makes a mark-up on cost of 40%. Sales of goods manufactured by Header consistently account for 20% of all Bodyline’s sales.
Sales in the last 28 days of the trading year to 30 September 20X3 were £1,750,000. Past trends reliably indicate that 10% of all goods are returned under the 28-day return facility. These are not faulty goods. Of these 70% are later resold at the normal selling price and the remaining 30% are sold as ‘sale’ items at half the normal retail price.
In addition to the above expected returns, an estimated £160,000 (at selling price) of the goods sold during the year will have manufacturing defects and have yet to be returned by customers. Goods returned as faulty have no resale value.
Required: 财务报告和会计考试代考
(i) Explain the need for the accounting standard IAS37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets. Illustrate your answer with three practical examples of how the standard addresses controversial issues.
(ii) Describe the nature of the above warranty/return facilities and calculate the provisions Bodyline is required to make at 30 September 20X3 for goods subject to the 28 day returns policy and for goods that are likely to be faulty. (60 marks)
