Question 1
25 Marks
a) Daybed Limited is a company that manufactures and retails pool loungers. Recently due to
current economic events, Daybed Limited attempted to increase sales by introducing a
profit-sharing plan for its employees. The plan read as follows:
PROFIT SHARING MEMO
To:
All sales staff
From: Executive management
Management has decided to implement the following profit-sharing plan for all sales staff:
25% of gross sales earned above predetermined target of N$1 500 000 will be allocated
equally among all qualifying sales staff members.
To qualify, sales staff members must have been in the employ of the company for at
least two years as at the end of the current financial year and remain in the employ of
the company for a further year after this current year end date.
Any a/location made to an employee who fails to meet the terms of the profit-sharing
plan is forfeited and will not be re-allocated amongst the remaining qualifying sales
staff
As the financial accountant of Daybed Limited you have to account for the profit-sharing plan.
The following information is available to you:
• The company had 50 employees during 2023, 60% of whom are sales staff. 10% of the
sales staff had been employed by the company for less than 2 years and the remaining
90% had been employed by the company for at least 2 years. It is expected that 3
employees (all of whom had been in the company's employ for 10 years) will resign
during 2024 and will be replaced by new employees.
• The gross sales achieved during the current financial year ended 31 December 2022
amounted to N$2 250 000.
Required:
i. Calculate the liability that needs to be recognised at 31 December 2022.
(8)
ii. Journalise the recognition of the liability.
(3)
iii. Provide the journal entries at 31 December 2023 to account for the payment if 5 sales
staff members actually left during 2023, all of whom had worked for Daybed Limited for
at least 2 years calculated at 31 December 2022 (the 2022 provision was considered
appropriate).
