Tennis Shop Ltd (the “Shop”), a GST registered company, has a 30 June year-end. Stock takes are performed at the end of each quarter, i.e., 30 June is the end of the second quarter. Included in the general ledger are accounts for Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Accounts Payable, GST Clearing, Discounts Lost, Cost of Goods Sold, Sales, Sales Discounts, Sales Returns and Allowances. All suppliers are GST registered, as well.

The Shop has been operating under the gross purchases method applied in a perpetual inventory system. Management is interested in comparing the gross purchases method to the net purchases method and has employed you as a consultant to help with this.

The following transactions occurred during July 2018. On 1 July, there was a balance of $2,100 in Accounts Payable relating to a June inventory purchase. If the net purchases method had been used, the balance would have been $2,058.

Required:

a) Journalise, in the table provided below, the following July transactions, assuming the perpetual inventory system. First, do so under the gross purchases method, then do so under the net purchases method. If necessary, round to two decimal places. You may assume that the sale of 12 July was the only sale for the month.

Date   Transaction details:
(i)   2/7   Paid the Accounts Payable within the discount period.

(ii)   7/7    Purchased tennis racquets on account from Racquets Ltd $2,040, not including GST, terms 2/10, n/30.
      
(iii)   9/7   The Shop returned some racquets to Racquets Ltd and received credit for $230, including GST.
      
(iv) 12/7   Sold racquets on account $1,242, terms 2/10, n/30, including GST, to Sterling Sports. The inventory sold had a cost of $756, net of GST, under both methods, i.e., the discount had been taken.
      
(v)  16/7   Paid Racquets Ltd the amount due and took the discount.
      
(vi)  18/7   Sterling Sports returned some racquets and received a credit of $92, including GST. The Balls, which had cost the Shop $58, net of GST under both methods, would be re-sold.
      
(vii)  22/7   Sterling Sports paid the balance due within the discount period.

b) Revisit the transaction described in (v) above. Suppose the Shop paid Racquets Ltd after the discount period had expired. Prepare the Shop’s journal entries under both the gross and net purchases methods.

c)    Why might the Shop prefer the net purchases method over the gross purchases method?

James Kelvin just completed an Engineering Management degree program, main reason is to enhance his investment capability. Now, he wants to take advantage of the falling prices of crude oil to invest in the oil business, with an anticipation that the prices will rise again. He has been offered an oil well with a proven reserve of 1800000 barrels. From his feasibility study, he will be able to produce 80,000 barrels of oil during the first year of operations. He believes that as the production capacity increases, he will increase the oil production by 10% annually, starting from the second year. A financial institution has offered to finance this investment at 9% interest rate compounded annually. From historical data, the price of oil is expected to remain steady at $30 per barrel over the next three years and start to increase thereafter at the rate of 8% annually for the next 5 years. When the price is peaked at the end of the 8th year, it stays steady for the next 4 years. He hopes to sell the oil well at the end of 10 years of operations for $5,000,000. What is maximum price (to break even) that James should buy the oil well now? (in order words, in other words, what will be the present worth of this investment).
