Question:
A business purchases 10 digital televisions for use in its offices. When the televisions arrive at the workplace the owner of the business decides that one will be taken home. The total cost of the acquisition was $16,500 (GST inclusive).

Describe how you would process this to comply with taxation reporting requirements. How much input tax credit could be claimed and why?

Answer:
The Australian tax office requires you to submit the BAS monthly, quarterly or annually and the BAS is used to report the GST and PAYG instalments, PAYG withholding tax and other tax obligations.
In the case of the ten televisions they should all be under taxation, and this is because they were bought to be used in the business.


Feedback:
Only 9 televisions can be claimed for business purposes, have not clearly explained how much input tax credit can be claimed in the BAS, what fields are used and how is deprecation considered and processed.

Part way through the production process it is discovered that the cost assignment was inaccurate for product A and that there has been an underestimation of $150 per unit. They are unable to change the pricing because of contractual obligations.

What is the impact of this error in cost assignment if sales were as predicted?

calculate increase/decrease of predicted sales using data given for product A 12000 units.

Predicted: 12,000 of product A and 8,000 of product B.
Actual: 15,000 for product A and 7,000 for product B.
The wholesale margin on product A is calculated to be $450 and on product B it is $350.
The predicted sales mix is 12,000/20,000 = 60% of A to 40% of B.
The actual sales mix is 15,000/22,000 = 68.2% of A to 31.8% of B.
The sales mix variance for A is 15,000*(0.682% - 0.6%)*$450 = 553,500 or favorable variance.
For B, the sales mix variance is 7,000*(0.318 - 0.4)*350 = -200,900 or unfavorable variance
