Question: Task 1 : Henriks Scooter Ltd ( 5 0 % ) Henriks Scooter Ltd manufactures custom - made scooters. The company is owned and operated

Task 1: Henriks Scooter Ltd (50%)
Henriks Scooter Ltd manufactures custom-made scooters. The company is owned and operated by Henrik S. In addition to Henrik, there are 3 employees in the company. Henrik lacks an overview of his costs, so he asks you to help create an accounting overview. In this regard, you have requested some information about his business. Since Henrik is not very interested in financial management, his information may seem a bit disorganized. However, you still manage to find the relevant information so you can help him.
Henrik manufactures the scooters from scratch. This means he takes aluminum, cuts it into the right sizes, and welds them together into an aluminum frame (called a platform), upon which the scooter is then equipped with handlebars, brakes, an engine, etc. This standard platform serves as the starting point for scooter production. Customers then choose the color, tires, rims, engine, handlebars, and other features, thus customizing the scooter according to the individual customers preferences.
Henrik sets the prices for the scooters to his customers in the following way: The base price for the aluminum platform is 7,500 DKK, which includes the choice of color for the paint. The price for the equipment that the customer selects for their scooter is added to this base price (i.e., this is the price the customer pays, but not Henriks cost of producing these items). Last year, the average sales price was 15,500 DKK. This means the 7,500 DKK plus the equipment selected by the customers resulted in an average price of 15,500 DKK per scooter last year. The price for the equipment that Henrik offers to customers is the same as his purchase price.
The cost of aluminum is 1,300 DKK per scooter. Consumables for soldering and painting cost 150 DKK per scooter. Personnel expenses last year amounted to 1,900,000 DKK, which includes Henriks and the 3 employees wages as well as employee insurance. Rent was 600,000 DKK last year. There were costs for electricity, water, and heating totaling 100,000 DKK. Marketing expenses amounted to 850,000 DKK, primarily related to participation in trade fairs and the costs of a website. Administrative expenses were 126,800 DKK. Finally, depreciation on inventory and machinery was set at 150,000 DKK.
Last year, Henriks Scooter Ltd produced and sold 700 scooters. Henrik estimates that one person can produce one scooter per day. This means that with 200 working days per year, they can produce 800 scooters per year. However, because Henrik himself handles part of the bookkeeping and other administrative tasks, he can only manage to produce 100 scooters per year. Therefore, a production of 700 scooters per year fits well with what the four people in the company can manage in a year.
