Activity Assessment

Activity 1A

Performance Criteria

P.C.1.1

Obtain input data and verify as required for workplace calculations.

Question 1

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) publishes the PAYG withholding tax tables on its website (www.ato.gov.au).

Go to https://www.ato.gov.au/rates/weekly-tax-table/ view the tax tables. Bookmark this website for future reference As you can see tax tables are prepared for different pay periods as well as different types of income earners. For example, you might have seen table relevant with weekly paid employee tax table. Go to the website https://www.ato.gov.au/rates/weekly-tax-table/ (NAT 1005) and download the weekly withholding amount pdf tax table and answer the following question based on downloaded tax table.

If you were an employee with a tax-free threshold. What is the maximum amount you could earn per week before I begin to pay tax?

Ans: As an employee with a tax-free threshold, the maximum amount I could earn per week before I begin to pay tax would depend on my individual circumstances, such as my taxable income, tax offsets, and other deductions. However, based on the information provided on the ATO website and using the weekly withholding tax table, if I am an Australian resident earning a weekly income of $415 or less, I should not have any tax withheld from my pay.

I am an employee with no tax-free threshold. What is the maximum amount I can earn per week before I begin to pay tax?

Ans: As an employee with no tax-free threshold, the maximum amount I can earn per week before I begin to pay tax would also depend on my individual circumstances. However, using the same weekly withholding tax table and assuming that I am an Australian resident earning a weekly income without any tax-free threshold, I would start paying tax on my income from the first dollar earned. In other words, there is no maximum amount I can earn per week before paying tax if I have no tax-free threshold.

Question 2

Instructions: To complete the below question, read it carefully and answer the following question:

What you will need

Research materials such as books, internet, magazines, workplace documentation etc.

Question 1

To complete this activity, the following instruction should be followed:

Obtain all required data required to perform the calculations
Use a calculator correctly
Perform accurate calculations
Check and record your results as appropriate

What is the formula for calculating the basic interest on an amount

Ans: The formula for calculating the basic interest on an amount is:

Basic Interest = Principal x Interest Rate x Time

A couple borrow $10,000. The interest rate is 1% per month, and the monthly payment is $210.How much of the first payment goes to interest and how much to reduce the loan. Explain all your calculation step by step.

Ans: The couple borrows $10,000 at an interest rate of 1% per month. So, the interest charged for the first month would be 1% of $10,000, which is $100. The monthly payment of $210 is used to pay off both the interest and a part of the loan amount. Therefore, the amount used to reduce the loan would be $210 – $100 = $110, and the interest would be $100.

How long will it take $6,000 to earn $600 interest at 5% p.a.? Please show your calculation.

Ans:

Solution

Here;

Simple interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100

where Principal is $6,000, Rate is 5%, and Simple interest is $600.

So, we can rearrange the formula to solve for time:

Time = (Simple interest * 100) / (Principal * Rate)

Substituting the values, we get:

Time = (600 * 100) / (6,000 * 5)

Time = 2 years

Therefore, it will take 2 years for $6,000 to earn $600 interest at 5% p.a.

Calculate the compound interest and future value on the following principals. $1000 invested for 3 years at 5% compounded annually

Solution:

Here;

Future value = Principal * (1 + Rate)^n

where Principal is $1000, Rate is 5% per year, and n is the number of compounding periods, which is 3 years.

Substituting the values, we get:

Future value = 1000 * (1 + 0.05)^3

Future value = 1157.63

Therefore, the future value of $1000 invested for 3 years at 5% compounded annually is $1157.63.

To calculate the compound interest, we can subtract the initial principal from the future value:

Compound interest = Future value – Principal

Compound interest = 1157.63 – 1000

Compound interest = 157.63

Therefore, the compound interest earned on $1000 invested for 3 years at 5% compounded annually is $157.63.

Calculate the GST on the following items.

$75.95 excluding GST

Ans: GST = 10% of $75.95 = $7.60

$9.90 including GST

Ans: GST = $9.90 ÷ 1.1 = $9.00

$354.90 excluding GST

Ans: GST = 10% of $354.90 = $35.49

$150 excluding GST GST

Ans: GST = 10% of $150 = $15.00

$951.50 including GST

Ans: GST = $951.50 ÷ 1.1 = $865.00

$23.53 including GST

Ans: GST = $23.53 ÷ 1.1 = $21.3

Calculate the annual depreciation charges for a GST registered business using the straight line method

$5,000 (Ex GST) purchase with $200 approximate salvage price (3 years estimated useful life)

Ans:

Solution:

Here;

Annual Depreciation = (Purchase Price – Salvage Value) / Useful Life

Given:

Purchase Price = $5,000 (Ex GST)

Salvage Value = $200

Useful Life = 3 years

First, we need to calculate the depreciable amount:

Depreciable amount = Purchase Price – Salvage Value

Depreciable amount = $5,000 – $200

Depreciable amount = $4,800

Next, we can calculate the annual depreciation charge:

Annual Depreciation = Depreciable amount / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $4,800 / 3

Annual Depreciation = $1,600

Therefore, the annual depreciation charge for a GST registered business using the straight-line method for a $5,000 purchase with $200 approximate salvage price and 3 years estimated useful life is $1,600 (Ex GST).

Ans:

Monthly Repayment = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1]

where P is the loan amount, i is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of monthly payments.

First, we need to calculate the monthly interest rate, which can be found by dividing the annual interest rate by 12:

Monthly Interest Rate = 6.57% / 12 = 0.5475%

Next, we need to calculate the total number of monthly payments, which is the loan duration in years multiplied by 12:

Total Number of Monthly Payments = 25 x 12 = 300

Now we can plug these values into the formula:

Monthly Repayment = 210000 [ 0.005475(1 + 0.005475)^300 ] / [ (1 + 0.005475)^300 – 1]

Monthly Repayment = $1,409.57

Activity 1C

P.C. 1.3	Identify and acquire resources and equipment needed to perform calculations
P.C. 1.4	Use simple spreadsheets where necessary to perform repeated calculations

Question 1

For this task, you will be observed developing and testing 8 basic spreadsheets for

If you have the following information, calculate size of monthly instalment.

Loan amount: $500,000

Interest rate: 5% p.a. (compounded annually)

Maturity of loan: 5 years

Ans:

S.N.	A	B	C	D
1	Loan amount	Interest rate	Maturity of loan	Monthly instalment
2	$500,000.00	5.00% p.a.	5 years	=PMT(5%/12, 5*12, 500000)

The formula used to calculate the monthly instalment is the PMT function, which takes three arguments:

The interest rate per period (in this case, per month), which is calculated by dividing the annual interest rate by 12.

The total number of payment periods, which is equal to the maturity of the loan in years multiplied by 12.

The present value of the loan, which is the loan amount.

The result of the formula is the size of the monthly instalment, which in this case is $9,459.88.

Calculate the monthly instalment and interest if you have the following information:

Loan amount: $10,000

Bank interest rate: 10% p.a. (compounding annually) Period : 2 years.

Ans:

Loan Amount	$10,000
Interest Rate	10%
Compounding Frequency	Annually
Period (years)	2
Monthly Payment	$464.10
Total Payment	$11,138.33
Total Interest	$1,138.33

To calculate the monthly payment, the following formula is used:

=PMT((10%/12),2*12,10000)

To calculate the total payment, the following formula is used:

=PMT((10%/12),2*12,10000)*12*2

To calculate the total interest, the following formula is used:

=PMT((10%/12),2*12,10000)*12*2-10000

If you have the following information, calculate the number of instalment to pay the following principal.

Principal Loan amount= $100,000 Interest rate = 11.5% p.a.

Ans:

Principal Loan Amount	Interest Rate	Monthly Instalment	Number of Instalments
$100,000	11.5%

=PMT(11.5%/12, 12*25, 100000)

This gives us the value of the monthly instalment as $1,109.05.

If you have the following information, calculate the Selling price

Product price = $100

Mark up = 25%

Solution:

$100 * 25% = $25

$100 + $25 = $125

Therefore, the selling price is $125.

Selling price per unit = $ 10

Variable cost per unit= $ 6

Fixed Expenses = $ 1,000

Ans:

Break Even in amount = Fixed Expenses / (Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit)

Break Even in amount = $1,000 / ($10 – $6)

Break Even in amount = $1,000 / $4

Break Even in amount = $250

If you have the following information, calculate the future value of investment and interest amount.

Monthly deposit = $250

Interest rate = 6% p.a. (compounded monthly)

Period = 5 years

Ans:

6%/12 = 0.5%

5 years x 12 months = 60 months

FV = PMT x (((1 + r)^n – 1) / r)

FV = $250 x (((1 + 0.005)^60 – 1) / 0.005) = $16,702.19

Interest = FV – Total Deposits

Interest = $16,702.19 – ($250 x 60) = $2,702.19

Monthly deposit = $250

Interest rate = 6% (compounded monthly)

Period = 5 years.

Ans:

interest rate: 6%/12 = 0.5%

periods: 5 years x 12 months = 60 months

future value of the investment: FV = PMT x (((1 + r)^n – 1) / r) x (1 + r)

FV = $250 x (((1 + 0.005)^60 – 1) / 0.005) x (1 + 0.005) = $16,836.92

Interest = FV – Total Deposits

Interest = $16,836.92 – ($250 x 60) = $3,836.92

Calculate the depreciation expenses and accumulated depreciation for every year. Acquisition cost of Machine = $100,000

Residual value of assets = $10,000

Useful life of machine = 10 years

Ans:

Acquisition cost of Machine – Residual value of assets = $100,000 – $10,000 = $90,000

depreciation expense: $90,000 ÷ 10 = $9,000

Year	Beginning Book Value	Depreciation Expense	Accumulated Depreciation	Ending Book Value
1	$100,000	$9,000	$9,000	$91,000
2	$91,000	$9,000	$18,000	$82,000

e. 4/8 = 0.50 C or NC= C

Question 2

On January 1, 2021, Aker Company acquired a machine at a cost of P $2,000,000.The machine is depreciated on the straight line method over a five-year period with no residual value. Because of a bookkeeping error, no depreciation was recognized in the 2021 financial statements. The oversight was discovered during the preparation of the 2022 financial statements.

What is the depreciation expense on the machine for 2022.

Ans:

To find the depreciation expense for 2022, we need to calculate the annual depreciation expense first. Since the machine has a cost of $2,000,000 and is depreciated over 5 years with no residual value, the annual depreciation expense is $400,000 ($2,000,000 divided by 5).

Since no depreciation was recognized in the 2021 financial statements, we need to recognize the full year’s depreciation expense in 2022. Therefore, the depreciation expense for the machine in 2022 will be $400,000.

Question 3

Explain how we Identify the typical computational errors that can occur when performing calculations, and for each outline explain the ways in which you would check for these errors. (Briefly explain the two method which you can use in your workplace calculation)

Ans:

When we perform calculations, we can make typical computational errors such as mistakes in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or decimal point placement. To identify these errors, we can use two methods: double-checking and estimation.

Double-checking involves reviewing the calculations and comparing them to previous calculations, company standards, or industry benchmarks. For example, we can use a calculator or spreadsheet to perform the calculation and then double-check it by performing the same calculation on a different calculator or spreadsheet. This can help us catch any errors we may have made during the initial calculation.

Estimation involves using a rough estimate to check the accuracy of a calculation. For example, if we are calculating the total cost of an order, we can estimate the cost in our head or on a piece of paper and then compare it to the calculated total. If the estimated cost is significantly different from the calculated cost, we may need to recheck our calculation for errors.

By using these methods, we can catch and correct typical computational errors and ensure the accuracy of our calculations in the workplace.
