Owik-Freez p.l.c. is a company which provides refrigerated storage facilities to local farmers.
Services offered include the collection of produce, the use of rapid freezing equipment, storage of the frozen produce and transport from frozen storage in refrigerated vehicles to any point within the country. Orders for these services are secured by the company’s sales staff.
The company’s revenue consists of charges for transport and freezing, and of storage rentals.
Customers may hire storage space either on a long-term contract basis at advantageous charges
(payable in advance) or on a casual basis (invoiced monthly).
A considerable amount of electricity from the public supply is used by the company in the
freezing and storage operations. In the event of a sudden failure in this supply, the company is able to generate its own emergency supplies from standby generators kept for this purpose. An insurance policy has been taken out to protect the company against the claims which would arise should any of the frozen produce deteriorate as the result of power or equipment failure.
At the end of the company’s financial year ended 30 September 2008, the assistant accountant
extracted the following balances from the ledgers.
Required:
-Prepare, for internal circulation purposes, a Profit and Loss account for Qwik-Freez p.l.c.for the year ended 30 September 2008 and a Balance Sheet at that date. All workings must be shown.
-Open the Suspense account and post the entries needed to eliminate the opening credit balance.
