Hand Sanitizer Ltd

Relevant Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2019:

1. Plant Account:

Debit Balance on 1st April 2018 = GH₵375,000

Credit: Disposal of Plants on 31st December 2018 = GH₵40,500 (GH₵22,500 and GH₵18,000)

Debit: New Plants on 31st December 2018 = GH₵52,500

Debit Balance on 31st March 2019 = GH₵387,000

2. Accumulated Depreciation - Plant:

Credit Balance on 1st April 2018 = GH₵157,500

Debit: Disposal of Plants on 31st December, 2018 = GH₵27,427.10

Credit: Depreciation Expense ( 100,350 + 3,937.50) = GH₵104,287.50

Credit Balance on 31st March 2019 = GH₵234,360.40

3. Depreciation Expense:

Debit: Accumulated Depreciation for old plant GH₵100,350

Debit: Accumulated Depreciation for new plants GH₵3,937.50

Total = GH₵104,287.50

4. Disposal of Plants Account:

Debit: Plants = GH₵40,500

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation = GH₵27,427.10

Credit: Cash = GH₵16,500 (12,000 + 4,500)

Debit: Gain from Sale = GH₵3,427.10

Balance = GH₵0

Explanation:

a) Accumulated Depreciation for the disposed plants on reduced balance:

October 2015 to March 2016 for 6 months (30% of GH₵40,500 for 6 months) = GH₵6,075

March 2017 for 12 months = GH₵10,327.50

March 2018 for 12 months = GH₵7,229.25

December 2018 for 9 months = GH₵3,795.35

Total = GH₵27,427.10

b) Reduced Balance for Disposed Plants

October 2015 Cost = GH₵40,500

March 2016 less Depreciation = GH₵6,075

Reduced Balance = GH₵34,425

March 2017 less Depreciation = GH₵10,327.50

Reduced Balance = GH₵24,097.50

March 2018 less Depreciation = GH₵7,229.25

Reduced Balance = GH₵16,868.25

December 2018 less Depreciation = GH₵3,795.35

Reduced Balance = GH₵13,072.90

The depreciation charge for 2016 was for 6 months while the 2018 charge was for 9 months.

In december of 2004, the company you own entered into a 20-year contract with a grain supplier for daily deliveries of grain to its hot dog bun manufacturing facility. the contract called for "10,000 pounds of grain" to be delivered to the facility at the price of $100,000 per day. until february 2017, the supplier provided processed grain which could easily be used in your manufacturing process. however, no longer wanting to absorb the cost of having the grain processed, the supplier began delivering whole grain. the supplier is arguing that the contract does not specify the type of grain that would be supplied and that it has not breached the contract. your company is arguing that the supplier has an onsite processing plant and processed grain was implicit to the terms of the contract. over the remaining term of the contract, reshipping and having the grain processed would cost your company approximately $10,000,000, opposed to a cost of around $1,000,000 to the supplier. after speaking with in-house counsel, it was estimated that litigation would cost the company several million dollars and last for years. weighing the costs of litigation, along with possible ambiguity in the contract, what are three options you could take to resolve the dispute? which would be the best option for your business and why?
