Question 1 Report
A sent B a cheque for ₦2000 to provide him with friends. They agreed to share profits in ratio 3 : 2 and settlement is by cheque.
| Sales Advert Wages Purchases |
A ₦ 3200 327 85 1600 |
B ₦ 2100 463 70 1100 |
The profit and loss in joint venture with B account in the ledger of A.
Answer Details
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total profit and then divide it between A and B in the agreed ratio of 3:2. To calculate the total profit, we need to find the difference between the total revenue and the total expenses: Total revenue = Sales + Advert + Wages = ₦3200 + ₦3278 + ₦516 = ₦6994 Total expenses = Purchases = ₦2600 Total profit = Total revenue - Total expenses = ₦6994 - ₦2600 = ₦4394 Now, to divide the profit between A and B in the agreed ratio of 3:2, we need to use the following formula: A's share = (3 / 5) x Total profit B's share = (2 / 5) x Total profit Substituting the values, we get: A's share = (3 / 5) x ₦4394 = ₦2636.40 B's share = (2 / 5) x ₦4394 = ₦1758.60 Therefore, the profit that A will receive is ₦2636.40, and the profit that B will receive is ₦1758.60. Now, let's calculate the settlement amount by adding the profit to the original amount A paid to B: Settlement amount for B = Original amount paid by A + B's share of profit Settlement amount for B = ₦2000 + ₦1758.60 = ₦3758.60 Therefore, the answer is option (C) ₦993.

It has been decided to value goodwill at 2 years purchase of average profit for the past 4 years. The value of goodwill is
Answer Details
To calculate the value of goodwill, we need to first calculate the average profit for the past 4 years. We can do this by adding up the profits for each year and then dividing by 4: Average profit = (14,000 + 24,000 + 10,000 + 16,000) / 4 = 16,000 Next, we need to calculate 2 years' purchase of the average profit: 2 x 16,000 = 32,000 Therefore, the value of goodwill is ₦32,000. This is because the value of goodwill is determined by the number of years' purchase of the average profit. Among the options given, the correct answer is 32,000.
Question 5 Report
Which of the following cannot depreciate?
Answer Details
Land is the item that cannot depreciate. Depreciation is the reduction in the value of a fixed asset due to wear and tear, obsolescence or other factors. It is a non-cash expense that is charged against the income of a company over the useful life of the asset. However, land is a fixed asset that has an unlimited useful life, and its value does not diminish over time. Therefore, it cannot be depreciated. On the other hand, plant and machinery, motor vans, and premises are all fixed assets that have a limited useful life, and their values decrease over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence or other factors. As a result, they can be depreciated. In summary, land is the item that cannot be depreciated, while plant and machinery, motor vans, and premises are all items that can be depreciated.

What was the gross profit?
Answer Details
To calculate the gross profit, we need to subtract the cost of goods sold (COGS) from the total revenue (sales). COGS represents the cost of the products that were sold during the period, and it is calculated as: COGS = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock In this case, the values are: COGS = ₦20,000 + ₦70,000 - ₦15,000 = ₦75,000 Total revenue (sales) is given as ₦100,000. Therefore, the gross profit can be calculated as: Gross profit = Total revenue - COGS = ₦100,000 - ₦75,000 = ₦25,000 Hence, the answer is option (D) ₦25,000.

Answer Details
Depreciation is the fall or decrease in the economic service potential of an asset as a result of wear, tear and obsolescence. Think of an asset as something you own, like a car, a computer, or a building. Over time, these assets lose value because they get older, wear out, or become outdated. This loss of value is called depreciation. It's an estimate of how much an asset has lost in value over a certain period of time. In simple terms, depreciation is like getting older - the more time goes by, the less useful you become. The same thing happens to assets. The longer they're in use, the less valuable they become, and that decrease in value is called depreciation.
Question 9 Report
Which of these will not appear in the preparation of control account.
I. Bad debts
II. Discounts
III. Returns
IV. Provision for bad debts
Answer Details
The item that will not appear in the preparation of a control account is option IV only, which is "Provision for bad debts." A control account is a summary account that provides an overview of the individual accounts that make up a particular category, such as debtors or creditors. The purpose of a control account is to reconcile the total balance of individual accounts with the balance in the control account. In the context of accounts receivable, which is money owed to a company by its customers, the control account typically includes transactions such as sales, cash receipts, discounts, and returns. Bad debts, which are accounts that are unlikely to be paid by customers, are also included in the control account. However, the provision for bad debts is a separate account that is used to estimate the amount of bad debts that are likely to occur in the future, and it is not typically included in the control account. In summary, the provision for bad debts is not included in the preparation of a control account, while bad debts, discounts, and returns are typically included.

This ensures that government spending is properly authorized and regulated, and helps prevent fraud or misuse of public funds. Therefore, among the options given, the correct answer is "warrant".
Question 11 Report
The advantage of double entry is that
Answer Details
The advantage of double-entry bookkeeping is that it ensures the accuracy of financial records and provides a complete picture of a company's financial transactions. Double-entry bookkeeping is a method of recording financial transactions that involves recording every transaction in at least two accounts, with one account debited and the other credited. This ensures that the total debits always equal the total credits, which means that the books are always in balance. By using double-entry bookkeeping, companies can ensure that their financial records are accurate and complete. They can also quickly identify errors and discrepancies in their records, which can help them to make better financial decisions. In addition, double-entry bookkeeping provides a complete picture of a company's financial transactions. It shows how every transaction affects both sides of the accounting equation (i.e., assets = liabilities + equity), which helps companies to understand the impact of their transactions on their financial position. In summary, the advantage of double-entry bookkeeping is that it ensures the accuracy and completeness of financial records, helps companies to quickly identify errors and discrepancies, and provides a complete picture of a company's financial transactions. It is not related to options such as increasing assets or disbursing cash.

Question 14 Report
An ordinary share of ₦100 was issued at ₦80. The share was issued at
Answer Details
An ordinary share of ₦100 was issued at ₦80, which means it was issued at a discount. A share is said to be issued at a discount when its issue price is lower than its par or face value. In this case, the par value of the share is ₦100, but it was issued at ₦80, which is lower than its face value. Therefore, the difference between the issue price and the par value (₦100 - ₦80 = ₦20) is the discount. On the other hand, if a share is issued at a price higher than its par value, it is said to be issued at a premium. When a share is issued at its face value, it is said to be issued at par. Lastly, a loss is incurred when the selling price of an asset is lower than its purchase price. However, that is not the case in this scenario as there is no information on any selling of the share.

The Unissued capital of the company is
Answer Details
The authorized share capital of Industry Ltd is ₦200,000, which means the maximum amount of money the company can raise from issuing shares is ₦200,000. The company issued 100,000 shares at ₦1 each, so it raised ₦100,000. This means that ₦100,000 of the authorized share capital has been issued. All shareholders paid in full except for two shareholders who owe a total of ₦20,000. This means that the company received a total of ₦80,000 in payment for the issued shares. The unissued capital of the company is the portion of the authorized share capital that has not been issued yet. Since the authorized share capital is ₦200,000, and ₦100,000 has been issued, the unissued capital is ₦100,000. Therefore, the answer is (2) ₦200,000 is the authorized share capital, and ₦100,000 is the unissued capital.

Answer Details
Shares that are offered to existing shareholders at a discounted price are called a "right issue." This is a type of securities offering that allows existing shareholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares of the company's stock, typically at a price lower than the current market price. The purpose of a right issue is to raise capital for the company and provide existing shareholders with the opportunity to increase their ownership in the company at a favorable price. In a right issue, the company will typically set a record date, which determines which shareholders are eligible to participate in the offering. The shares are then offered to these eligible shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. The shareholders have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the additional shares. In conclusion, a right issue is a type of securities offering where existing shareholders are offered the opportunity to purchase additional shares of a company's stock at a discounted price, with the goal of raising capital for the company.
Question 23 Report
The cost of a machine is ₦10,000. The residual value is ₦4,000. It is expected to last for 4 years. Using the straight line method, what is the amount of depreciation charged per annum?
Answer Details
The straight line method of depreciation is a simple way of calculating the amount of depreciation to be charged each year for an asset. To use this method, we subtract the residual value (the value of the asset after it has been fully depreciated) from the original cost of the asset, and then divide this by the number of years the asset is expected to last. So, for the machine in this question: - Original cost: ₦10,000 - Residual value: ₦4,000 - Years expected to last: 4 The amount of depreciation to be charged per year would be: ₦10,000 - ₦4,000 = ₦6,000 ₦6,000 ÷ 4 years = ₦1,500 So, the amount of depreciation charged per annum is ₦1,500.
Question 24 Report
Every economic unit, regardless of its legal form of existence, is treated as a separate entity from parties having economic interest is
Answer Details
The entity concept is a fundamental principle of accounting that assumes that every economic unit, regardless of its legal form of existence, is treated as a separate entity from parties having an economic interest. This means that a business is viewed as a distinct entity separate from its owners, shareholders, creditors, or any other parties with an economic interest in the business. Under the entity concept, the financial transactions of the business are recorded separately from those of the owner or other parties. This enables the business to track its financial performance and position accurately, and to prepare financial statements that are useful for decision-making. For example, if a business owner invests $10,000 of personal funds into the business, the entity concept requires that the transaction be recorded as a liability owed to the owner by the business. Similarly, if the business borrows $5,000 from a bank, the loan is recorded as a liability owed to the bank by the business. By treating the business as a separate entity, the entity concept enables stakeholders to evaluate the financial performance of the business without confusion or distortion caused by mixing personal transactions with business transactions.
Question 25 Report
Discount received is charge to
Answer Details
Discount received is a reduction in the amount paid for goods or services purchased by a company. This reduction is usually given by a supplier to a customer as an incentive to encourage prompt payment or to build customer loyalty. In accounting, discount received is considered a gain for the company and is therefore credited to the profit and loss account. The profit and loss account is an account that records all revenues and gains on one side, and all expenses and losses on the other side, for a particular period. By recording discount received in the profit and loss account, the company can track and report its total gains for a specific period, and also calculate the net profit or loss for that period. This helps the company to make informed decisions about its operations and financial position, and to meet its reporting requirements. Therefore, the correct answer is option (B) - profit and loss account. Discount received is a gain for the company, and it is credited to the profit and loss account to be recorded as part of the company's total gains and revenues for a specific period.
Question 26 Report
Discount received is apportioned to each department on the basis of
Answer Details
Discount received is usually apportioned to each department on the basis of their purchases. The reason for this is that the discount is typically given by the supplier as a percentage of the total value of goods purchased. Therefore, the more a department purchases from the supplier, the more discount they receive. For example, if a department purchases $10,000 worth of goods and the supplier offers a 5% discount, the department would receive a discount of $500. If another department purchases $5,000 worth of goods from the same supplier, they would only receive a discount of $250. By apportioning the discount on the basis of purchases, each department receives a fair share of the discount based on their contribution to the total purchases from the supplier. This helps to ensure that the discount is allocated in a way that reflects the actual purchasing activity of each department.

Answer Details
The entry to record the purchase of goods for resale on credit costing ₦150,000 from Tosanwumi International on 30th September 20X8 is: Debit: Purchase Account ₦150,000 Credit: Tosanwumi International Account ₦150,000 This means that the Purchase Account is debited with the value of the goods purchased on credit, while the Tosanwumi International Account is credited for the same amount, representing the amount owed to the supplier. The Purchase Account is a nominal account that is used to record the cost of goods purchased for resale or for use in the business. The Tosanwumi International Account is a personal account, specifically a creditor account, used to record the amount owed to Tosanwumi International for the goods purchased on credit. This entry follows the double-entry bookkeeping system, which requires that every transaction has equal debits and credits. The debit entry represents the increase in expenses, while the credit entry represents the increase in liabilities, specifically accounts payable to the supplier.

Answer Details
In the preparation of a statement of profit, the opening capital is the amount of money a business had at the beginning of a given period, and the closing capital is the amount of money a business has at the end of that same period. If the opening capital is greater than the closing capital, it means that the business has used more money than it has received during the period, leading to a decrease in its overall capital. This decrease in capital is referred to as a "loss." Therefore, if the opening capital is greater than the closing capital, it indicates that the business has suffered a loss during the period.

Answer Details
In the preparation of accounting records, the owners of the business and the business concerned are treated as separate legal entities. This means that the business is treated as a distinct entity from its owners, and is recognized as having its own financial position, income, and expenses. This is because the business is a separate legal entity, meaning it has its own legal status and is capable of entering into contracts and owning property. For example, if a business takes out a loan, the debt belongs to the business and not to the individual owners. Similarly, if the business makes a profit, the profit belongs to the business and not directly to the owners. Separating the business from its owners in this way allows for a clear and accurate picture of the financial performance of the business, and enables the owners to assess the success of the business as a whole. It also ensures that the business is held responsible for its financial obligations and liabilities, rather than the individual owners.
Question 37 Report
Show how the following transaction will be recorded applying the double entry principle:
Rent ₦50,000 was paid by Mr. Roi to his landlord on 1st July, 20 × 7 by cheque.
Answer Details
The correct entry for the transaction where Mr. Roi pays rent of ₦50,000 to his landlord on July 1st, 20x7 by cheque, using the double entry principle would be: - Dr Rent A/c; Cr Bank A/c The transaction has two effects: it decreases Mr. Roi's cash (Bank A/c) balance by ₦50,000 and increases the landlord's Rent A/c balance by the same amount. Applying the double entry principle, we need to record both of these effects in the accounts. Therefore, we will debit Rent A/c with ₦50,000 as it is an expense and credit Bank A/c with the same amount as it is a decrease in cash. This will ensure that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. In summary, when Mr. Roi pays rent by cheque, we record a debit of ₦50,000 to Rent A/c and a credit of ₦50,000 to Bank A/c to maintain the balance of the accounting equation.

Answer Details
The mark-up in this scenario is ₦6,174. When a company sells goods to its branch, it usually does so at a price that is higher than the cost price, to make a profit. In this case, the invoiced price of the goods sent to the branch is ₦30,870, which includes a markup of 25% on the cost price. To find the cost price, we can use the following formula: Cost price = Invoiced price / (1 + Markup percentage) Plugging in the values, we get: Cost price = ₦30,870 / (1 + 25%) = ₦24,696 Now, to find the markup, we can use the following formula: Markup = Invoiced price - Cost price Plugging in the values, we get: Markup = ₦30,870 - ₦24,696 = ₦6,174 Therefore, the mark-up in this scenario is ₦6,174. This represents the amount that the company has added to the cost price of the goods to arrive at the invoiced price that it charged to its branch.
