Prepare a Statement of Cash Flow
Question Description
Question 1
Mark Davies has started a lawn mowing business (MD Lawnmowing) as a temporary job/business which he intends to run until he starts his business degree at the University of South Australia in five months. Mark has never owned or run a business before. To start the business on 1 March 2014, he deposited $2,200 into a new bank account opened in the name of the business. The $2,200 consisted of a $1800 loan from his father and $400 of his own money. Mark rented some equipment, purchased supplies, and hired friends to mow and trim his customer’s lawns.
At the end of each month Mark sent invoices to his customers. On 31 July, he was ready to dissolve the business and start his university studies. As he was so busy, he kept few records other than his cheque book and a list of amounts owed to him by customers.
At 31 July, Mark’s business account cheque book shows a balance of $1,880, and his customers still owe him $600. During the period, he collected $4,750 from customers. His cheque book lists payments for supplies totalling $480, and he still has fuel and supplies that cost a total of $50 on hand. He paid his employees $2,100, and he still owes them $300 for their final week of work.
Mark rented some equipment from Kennard’s Hire. On 1 April, he signed a six-month rental agreement on lawnmowers and paid $720 for the full period. Kennard’s Hire will refund the unused portion of the prepayment if the equipment is in good order when he returns it. In order to get the refund, Mark has kept the equipment in excellent condition. In fact during May paid $200 to repair one of the mowers.
To transport employees and equipment to jobs, Mark used a trailer that he bought for $450. He believes that the period’s work used up one-third of the trailer’s service potential. The business cheque book lists a payment of $520 for private cash withdrawals by Mark during the period. In July Mark paid back a third of the amount his father had lent to him.
Mark estimates that he spent approximately 75 hours working on the business during the period. He plans to recommence operations on a similar basis during major breaks in his university study and believes he will do better in later periods as he now has an existing customer base to work from.
