Solution

The first step is to calculate the total insurance premium for the year. Since the monthly premium is R10,700 and there are 12 months in a year, the total premium for the year is R10,700 * 12 = R128,400.

The balance of the insurance account in the trial balance on 30 June 20.2 is R96,300. This means that the insurance premium for the year has been underpaid by R128,400 - R96,300 = R32,100.

On 1 July 20.2, the bookkeeper made a further electronic funds transfer of R64,200 to Clarke Insurers. This payment has not been recorded in the general ledger.

The correct general ledger entries in the insurance account in the books of KA Traders on 30 June 20.2 are:

KA TRADERS GENERAL LEDGER Dr Insurance Cr 20.2 Jun 30 Balance R96,300 20.2 Jun 30 Insurance Expense R32,100 Jul 1 Bank R64,200

The closing transfer entries would be:

KA TRADERS GENERAL LEDGER Dr Insurance Cr 20.2 Jun 30 Balance R96,300 20.2 Jun 30 Insurance Expense R32,100 Jul 1 Bank R64,200 Jul 1 Insurance Expense R64,200

This reflects the additional payment made to Clarke Insurers on 1 July 20.2. The balance in the insurance account after these entries is R0, as all insurance premiums for the year have been paid.

Based on the following information relating to Matt’s Constructions, identify (in words) what adjustment is required at 30 June, the end of the accounting period. The first one has been answered to provide an example. (a) Matt paid $12,000 on 1 May 2024, for a 12-month insurance policy, recording it as Prepaid Insurance. Two months of the insurance policy have been incurred, so $2,000 needs to come out of the Prepaid Insurance (asset) account and into Insurance Expense to show that some of the expense that was prepaid is no longer an asset. (b) Matt employs a casual labourer when the business is particularly busy. The labourer worked in the last week of June 2024 and is owed $1,800. This has not been recorded. (c) Matt has supplies of nails and screws for construction jobs. The supplies account shows a balance of $300 but there is actually only $60 worth of nails and screws left on hand at 30 June. (d) Matt has tools and equipment that originally cost $10,000 two years ago. He is depreciating them using the straight-line method. They have an expected life of five years with no residual value. He has only recorded depreciation for the first year. (e) Matt constructed a shed for a customer in January 2024, and charged $900 on credit. The customer has now been declared bankrupt and Matt will not be able to collect the amount owing to him. Matt uses the allowance method. (f) Matt repaired a customer’s letterbox on his way home from work on 30 June 2024 for $150 on credit. He forgot to record it. (g) A customer who was going on holidays paid Matt $5,000 in advance for some renovation work on their home which Matt recorded as Unearned Income. By 30 June, 80% of the work had been performed.
