2002 2003
(i) Inventory holding period
600,000/6,300,000 x 365 35 days
1,600,000/7,200,000 x 365 81 days
(ii) Average period of credit granted to customers
1,270,000 / 8,400,000 x 365 55 days
1,800,000 / 9,000,000 x 365 73 days
(iii) Average period of credit allowed by suppliers
1,050,000 / 6,400,000 x 365 60 days
2,100,000 / 8,200,000 x 365 93 days
(b) (i) All three ratios show deterioration.
The large increase in the inventory holding period suggests that the company is having difficulty making sales in the
closing months of the period.
Customers are taking longer to pay, placing further strain on the company’s liquid position.
The company is attempting to finance the increased inventory and receivables by paying its suppliers more slowly, which
will probably have the effect of losing supplier goodwill.
(ii) The main reason for the decline is the reduced gross profit percentage. If the gross profit percentage of 2002
(25 per cent) had continued in 2003, an additional $450,000 of profit would have been made. Instead, the gross profit
percentage went down to 20 per cent.
Other contributing factors are:
– the new non-current assets ($700,000) were not acquired until near the end of the year, and thus may not be
fully operational
– the share issue also took place right at the end of the year, and so has not yet been deployed in profit-earning
assets.

5 (a) Comparability means that users are able to draw conclusions about the performance or financial position of a business by
relating figures for a particular period to other relevant figures.
Possible types of comparison are:
(i) comparison with figures for the same business for earlier periods
(ii) comparison with figures for other businesses for the same period
(iii) comparison with budgets or forecasts
(Two types required for full marks)

(b) Two from:

(i) by requiring the disclosure of accounting policies and the effect of changes in them
(ii) by reducing or eliminating the number of possible alternative treatments for similar items available to businesses
(iii) by requiring businesses to treat similar items in the same way within each period and from one period to the next, unless
a change is required to comply with accounting standards or to ensure that a more appropriate presentation of events
or transactions is provided.
