b) The overall performance of Mvita ltd for 1990 is not good as compared to 1989. This is
reflected by the decline in the profitability as shown by the Return on Capital employed,
the Gross profit and Net profit percentages as these ratios have reduced. Gross profit
percentage has reduced due to increase in the cost of goods in 1990 with no corresponding
increase in turnover.
The liquidity position has also declined marginally as shown by the decline in the current
ration from 1.63 to 1.369 as the liabilities have increased to a greater proportion as
compared to the increase in the current assets. This position also explains the change from
cash position to overdraft.
Mvita's efficiency (use of resources) has declined but slightly as shown by the debtors and
creditors turnover. This is caused by the increase in debtors and creditors level with
minimal changes in the turnover and cost of sales.
The gearing level has increased but slightly again as shown by the gearing ratio which is not
a good indicator a far as the financial risk is concerned. This is expected as Mvita has taken
up additional debentures.

    Pesa and Akili were in partnership preparing their accounts to 31 March and sharing profits and
    losses in the ratio of 3:2 respectively. Interest was allowed on fixed capital at 10% per annum.
    Akili was entitled to a salary of Sh.3,000 per month. On 2 October 1995 the partners admitted
    Tajiri a well known businessman into the partnership. On that day Tajiri introduced a Sum of
    money which was equal to 50% of Pesa's fixed capital. The amount was credited to Tajiri's
    capital account.
    The new partnership agreement provided the following:
    1) Interest on capital to be maintained at 10% per annum.
    2) Tajiri is to receive a commission of 10% of the net profit before appropriations. This is due
    to his business acumen.
    3) Profits will be shared equally among the partners.
    4) Akili is now entitled to a salary of Sh.3,500 per month.
    The partners also agreed to guarantee Tajiri a minimum share of profit of Sh.62,000 per annum.
    Any deficiency on that balance will be compensated by the other two partners in equal
    proportions. For the purposes of admission of a partner, goodwill was valued at two years
    purchase of average profits for the last three years. The profits for the years ended 31 March
    1993, 1994 and 1995 were Sh.60,000, Sh.50,OOOand Sh.70,000 respectively. No goodwill
    account is to be maintained in the books. Adjusting entries are to be made in the partners
    current accounts. The net profit for the year ended 31 March 1996 was Sh.360,000. The profit
    accrued evenly over the year.
    The following are the partners balances on 1 April 1995:

    Required:
    a) Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31 March 1996.

    After preparation of the trial balance or Bakari Brothers Enterprises as at 31 September 2005, the firm's accountant has been provided with the following additional information for the purpose of preparation of the final accounts:
    1 Due to an oversight, discount has been allowed to a credit customer on the gross `
    invoiced amount of Sh.80,000 at the rate 10%. The firm should have used a rate if 6%.
    2 Electricity accrued amounts to Sh.36,710 while insurance premiums of Sh. 22,450 have
    been prepaid.
    3 In October 2005, the employees of the firm received a general salary increase,
    backdated to 1 July 2005. Amounts totaling Sh.126,550 in salary arrears are payable to
    former employees who left shortly before the salary award was announced and who
    have not yet been traced. It has been decided that the salary packets will be opened and
    the cash banked until the ex-employees are traced.
    4 Wages due to casuals amounting to Sh. 464,120 for services rendered in the last week of
    December 2005 were paid in January 2006 together with the salaries for the month of
    December 2005 which amounted to Sh.301,700.
    5 During the year, the exterior of the warehouse was repaired and repainted at a cost of
    Sh.500,000. This"
    amount was erroneously debited to office premises account. It is policy of Bakari
    Brothers Enterprises to provide for depreciation on the closing balances of non-current
    assets and this has already been done. The annual rate of depreciation on office
    premises is 2% calculated on the straight-line basis.
    6 In December 2005 2005, Bakari Brothers Enterprises had bought goods on credit from
    CB Ltd. for Sh. 452,100 and has also sold goods on credit to the same company for
    Sh.163,040. These amounts were correctly posted to their respective accounts.
    However, these accounts are to be offset as at 31 December 2005 and the remaining
    balance settled by cheque in January 2006.
    7 The provision for discounts allowed to debtors, which at present has a balance of

    Grace and Beatrice were operating a retail business sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:1
    respectively up to 31 March 2006 when they admitted Catherine to the partnership. The partners
    allowed payment of interest on partners' fixed capital accounts but did not allow for interest on
    partners' current accounts.
    The following balances were extracted from the partnership's book of account as at 30 September 2006:

    Additional information:

    changed to Grace 2/5, Beatrice 2/5 and Catherine 1/5. For the purpose of admission,
    goodwill was valued at Sh. 12,000,000 and was written off the books immediately. On 1
    April 2006, Catherine paid Sh.5,000,000 which comprised her fixed capital of
    sh.1,500,000 and her current account contribution of sh.3,500,000."

    basis of sales. The apportionment of expenses, unless otherwise indicated, were to be
    on time basis.

    6 At 30 September 2006, rates paid in advance amounted to sh.260,000 while electricity
    accrued amounted to sh.60,000.
    7 A difference in the books of sh.120,000 that had been written off to general expenses as
    at 30 September 2006 was later found to have been due to the following errors:
    - Sales returns of sh.180,000 had been debited to sales but was omitted from the

    - The purchase journal had been undercast by sh.200,000.
