Question 3
Greenfields Fertilizers CC is a fertilizer manufacturing company operating around Broederstroom in the Northwest Province (in the
Witwatersrand, the southern foothills of the Magaliesberg). Raynard and Dikeledi are the two founders and members of this registered
close corporation, and they obtained municipal approval to expand the business into producing and distributing fertilizers for maize
and other crops.
The following EXTRACT of balances as at 31 December 2023 from the accounting records of Greenfields Fertilizers CC is
presented to you for assistance:
Inventory 1,273,200
Additional information
1. Depreciation for the year ended 31 December 2023 was correctly calculated as R93,000, R6,800, and R210,000 for vehicles,
machinery, and equipment, respectively.
2. The income tax assessment, received from SARS on 4 January 2024, indicated that the normal income tax for the 2023 financial
year amounted to R433,000.
3. The loan from Raynard was advanced to the CC in December 2022 and is repayable on 31 May 2024.
4. Dikeledi experienced personal financial problems during the year and borrowed R31,200 from the close corporation. The loan was
granted to Dikeledi on 1 November 2023 at an interest rate of 21% per annum. The interest on this loan is capitalised. This
transaction is still to be recorded.
5. On 1 January 2023, an experienced agricultural scientist by the name of Peter was admitted to the CC in July 2023 to assist in
developing new fertilizer formulations for maize and other crops. In addition to the R39,200 cash contribution, Peter further
contributed laboratory equipment and an old delivery vehicle to the value of R122,000 and R46,000, respectively.
6. On 1 September 2023, a profit distribution of R47,200 was made to each member of the close corporation. These amounts should
be regarded as loans from members with interest charged and capitalised at 18% per annum. This transaction is yet to be
accounted for.
7. On 30 June 2023, one of the fertilizer mixing machines (production equipment) got damaged by an inexperienced technician from a
local service company and was not repairable. This machine was acquired at a cost of R102,000 on 1 May 2019 and had
accumulated depreciation of R60,400 on 30 June 2023 (R42,000 at 1 January 2023). The equipment was insured, and an
insurance pay-out at R41 600 more than the carrying amount of the equipment was paid to the close corporation. The accountant
credited the insurance pay-out to the SARS (income tax) account.
