exercise and sports science and believed he had a very good plan for his own designed
exercise equipment. Cam also had some business experience so he knew how important it
was to keep accurate accounting records from which to prepare his reports. At the end of
his first year of operations, 30th June 2017, Cam prepared the following income statement
which he has submitted to you for checking:

After reviewing his company’s first year income statement, Cam was disappointed with
the result. With his high level of expenses, the cash position was also in deficit. Cam has
an appointment with the bank manager to go through is financial reports and to discuss
whether his bank overdraft facility should be extended.

life of five years with no salvage value.
• The factory occupies 70% of the rented facility, the administration area 10% and the
sales department 20%.
• Cam Rollins spends half of his time in the role of Production Manager and the
emaining time equally across the sales and administration departments as manager.
• Gas and electricity are essentially all consumed by the factory.
• As at 30th June Twister had the following inventories:
Raw Materials $ 26,000
Work in Progress 52,000
Finished goods 72,000
Required:

ors he has made and the what the
co
ect treatment should have been. (showing in a table may be appropriate)
) Prepare a Cost of Goods Manufactured Statement and a co
ected Income Statement
for the year. You must use Excel to prepare these statements.
c) Based on your review of Twister Pty Ltd, recommend whether the bank should extend

Question 2
Cam Rollins has explored the possibility of finding a cheaper supplier for the raw material
equired for the production of his gym equipment. He has an offer from a supplier which will
educe his raw material cost significantly and therefore lead to higher profits. There have
een some reports that the material under consideration is of a poorer quality and has led to
some minor accidents when using the gym equipment. The supplier has pointed out that
these accidents have been fairly minor and the cost of refunding the clients and giving them
some compensation for their injuries will still be cheaper overall for Cam and therefore result
in higher profitability for Twister Pty Ltd.
Advise Cam on what decision he should take with regards to the supplier and raw material.
Support your answer with any cases or guidelines you consider relevant. (500-600words)
