Note that the statement of cash flows for the period 1–5 April is the same as for 1–4 April. No cash changed
hands in the inventory transaction. The balance sheet changed to reflect the purchase of carpets (inventory)
but cash did not decrease as we recorded an accounts payable amount equal to the inventory amount. During
April, Teresa sold $20 000 worth of inventory for $40 000. Interest expense was $250 for the month and
depreciation on fittings was $334 ($20 000/5 years/12 months). The monthly rent was $1000. In relation to
the prepaid lease payment of $10 000 for five years, this is an asset as it gives Teresa the right to use the shop
over the next five years. According to the Conceptual Framework recognition criteria (see chapters 5 and 6),
we should account for the proportion of the lease cost that is used each period. Therefore, the cost of the lease
each month is $167 ($10 000/5 years/12 months). The profit for the period is calculated as:
$40 000 (sales) − $20 000 (cost of sales) − $250 (interest) − $334 (depreciation) −
$1000 (lease payment) − $167 (lease amortisation) = $18 249
Teresa’s balance sheet as at 30 April 2016 and statement of cash flows for the month ended 30 April
2016 are shown in illustrative examples 7.10 and 7.11.
