What is the gross profit margin?
Answer Details
The gross profit margin is a measure of the profitability of a business, and it is calculated by dividing the gross profit by the revenue and expressing the result as a percentage. The gross profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of goods sold, which is the direct cost of producing the goods or services that the business sells. In the information provided, the revenue or sales is N20,000, and the cost of sales is N10,000. Therefore, the gross profit can be calculated as follows: Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of sales = N20,000 - N10,000 = N10,000 The gross profit margin can be calculated by dividing the gross profit by the revenue and expressing the result as a percentage: Gross profit margin = (Gross profit / Revenue) x 100% = (N10,000 / N20,000) x 100% = 50% Therefore, the gross profit margin is 50%, which means that for every Naira of revenue generated, the business earns 50 kobo in gross profit. This indicates that the business has a healthy gross profit margin and is able to cover its direct costs of production while making a reasonable profit.
Question 8 Report
The excess of sales over cost of goods sold is?
Answer Details
The excess of sales over cost of goods sold is called "gross profit". Gross profit represents the amount of money that a company earns from selling its products or services, minus the direct costs associated with producing those products or services. For example, if a company sells a product for $100 and it costs $60 to produce that product, the company's gross profit would be $40. This means that for every product sold, the company earns $40 that can be used to cover other expenses like salaries, rent, and marketing. It's important to note that gross profit is different from net profit. Net profit is the total amount of money a company earns after all of its expenses, including indirect costs like overhead and taxes, have been subtracted from its revenue. Gross profit, on the other hand, only takes into account the direct costs associated with producing and selling products or services.

Use the information below to answer the question.
Adex Ltd. Issues stock to its retail branches at cost price. The following particulars relate to Ede branch.
Answer Details
To find the cost of goods sold (COGS) for the Ede branch, we need to calculate the cost of goods available for sale and then subtract the ending inventory. The cost of goods available for sale is the sum of the stock at the beginning of the year and the goods sent to the branch during the year: 400 (stock at the beginning of the year) + 8000 (goods sent to the branch) = 8400 To calculate the COGS, we need to subtract the ending inventory from the cost of goods available for sale. The ending inventory is the stock at the end of the year: 8400 - 720 (stock at the end of the year) = 7680 Next, we need to adjust the COGS for any returns to the head office. The returns are given as 340, so we subtract this from the calculated COGS: 7680 - 340 = 7340 Finally, we need to calculate the gross profit by subtracting the COGS from the cash sales: 9160 - 7340 = 1820 Therefore, the answer is ₦1820, which represents the gross profit for the Ede branch.

Question 12 Report
The fixed amount of money given to a petty cashier at the beginning of a period is called?
Answer Details
The fixed amount of money given to a petty cashier at the beginning of a period is called the "imprest". An imprest system is a way of managing petty cash, which is a small amount of cash kept on hand for minor expenses such as office supplies, postage, and travel expenses. In this system, a fixed amount of money is provided to the petty cashier at the beginning of a period, and they are responsible for managing and recording all the petty cash transactions during that period. The purpose of the imprest system is to ensure that the petty cash fund is always at a fixed amount, which is called the "imprest amount". At the end of the period, the petty cashier submits the petty cash vouchers to the main cashier for reimbursement, and the main cashier provides the petty cashier with the exact amount required to bring the petty cash fund back to the imprest amount. This way, the petty cash fund is always replenished to the fixed amount, which helps in keeping track of the petty cash transactions and preventing fraud. In summary, the imprest is the fixed amount of money provided to a petty cashier at the beginning of a period to manage the petty cash transactions, and it is a part of the imprest system of managing petty cash.

Subscription received during the year N30,000. Subscription owed last year N4,000. subscription received for next year N6,000.
Use the details above to answer the following question.
The N6,000 subscription received is?
Answer Details
The N6,000 subscription received is a current liability. A liability is a debt or obligation that a company owes to another party, which must be settled in the future. In this case, the N6,000 subscription received is for next year, which means that the company has not yet provided the goods or services for which the customer has paid. Therefore, the N6,000 subscription is an obligation that the company must fulfill in the future, making it a current liability. The N30,000 subscription received during the year is a revenue or income for the company, while the N4,000 subscription owed last year is a previous liability that was not settled in the past year. Both of these amounts are not related to the current question.
Question 15 Report
The amount called in respect of a share but not paid before or on the date fixed for payment is referred to as:
Answer Details
The amount called in respect of a share but not paid before or on the date fixed for payment is referred to as a "call in arrears". When a company issues shares, it may require shareholders to pay for them in installments. These installments are known as "calls" and the amount that is due but not paid on the due date is called a "call in arrears". For example, let's say a company issues 100 shares with a nominal value of $10 per share. The company may require shareholders to pay for the shares in two installments, with $5 due on the issue of the share and $5 due in six months' time. If a shareholder pays only $4 on the due date of the second installment, they would have a call in arrears of $1. It is important for companies to keep track of calls in arrears because they represent unpaid capital that the company is entitled to collect. The company can take legal action to recover the amount owed, or it may declare the shares forfeited if the shareholder fails to pay the amount due within a specified period of time. In summary, a call in arrears is the amount that a shareholder owes to a company for a share that has been issued but not fully paid for on the due date. It represents unpaid capital that the company is entitled to collect, and the company may take legal action or declare the shares forfeited if the shareholder fails to pay the amount due.

Question 18 Report
Calls in advance are treated in the balance sheet as_______
Answer Details
Calls in advance are treated in the balance sheet as a current liability. Calls in advance refer to the money paid by shareholders in advance for shares that they have subscribed for, but not yet fully paid for. The company is therefore indebted to the shareholders for this amount until the shares are fully paid for. In the balance sheet, current liabilities are short-term debts or obligations that are due within a year, and calls in advance typically fall under this category. This is because the shareholders have the right to demand a refund of the money they paid in advance if the shares are not allotted to them or if they choose not to take up the shares. Therefore, calls in advance will be listed as a liability in the balance sheet, typically under the "current liabilities" section, until the shares are fully paid for and the liability is discharged.
Question 19 Report
In government accounting , the method used which records on the basis of financial entity with self balancing books instead of entity of propietorship is?
Answer Details
The method used in government accounting which records on the basis of financial entity with self-balancing books instead of the entity of proprietorship is called fund accounting. Fund accounting is a method of accounting used by organizations, such as governments, non-profit organizations, and universities, that have multiple funds with separate accounting and reporting requirements. Each fund is treated as a separate accounting entity, and financial transactions are recorded in separate self-balancing books for each fund. The purpose of fund accounting is to provide accountability and transparency in the use of public funds. It allows the government to track and report on the use of funds for specific purposes, such as capital projects, debt service, or operating expenses. It also ensures that funds are used only for their intended purposes and that financial reports accurately reflect the financial position of each fund. In summary, fund accounting is a method of accounting used by government entities that records financial transactions on a fund-by-fund basis with self-balancing books. This provides accountability and transparency in the use of public funds and ensures that funds are used only for their intended purposes.

Departmentalization of accounts is useful because it shows the overall performance of a division. It allows a company to track the financial performance of individual departments or divisions within the company, providing insight into which areas of the business are performing well and which ones need improvement. By analyzing financial data for each department, managers can make informed decisions about allocating resources and making changes to improve overall company performance.

Ultimately, this can lead to improved financial performance for the entire company.
Question 22 Report
The total credit sales for a period can be extracted from the?
Answer Details
The total credit sales for a period can be extracted from the Sales Day Book. The Sales Day Book is a book of prime entry used to record all credit sales made by a business during a particular period. It typically contains information such as the date of the sale, the name of the customer, the amount of the sale, and any relevant invoice or reference numbers. Since credit sales involve selling goods or services on credit, they are not immediately paid for at the time of sale. Instead, the customer is given a certain amount of time, usually 30 to 90 days, to pay for the goods or services. As a result, credit sales do not result in an immediate inflow of cash, but they do represent revenue earned by the business. Therefore, to determine the total credit sales for a given period, we can simply add up all the credit sales recorded in the Sales Day Book for that period. This figure represents the total amount of revenue earned by the business from credit sales during that period, and is an important indicator of the business's financial performance. In summary, the Sales Day Book is used to record all credit sales made by a business, and the total credit sales for a period can be extracted from this book by adding up all the credit sales recorded during that period.
Question 23 Report
The partnership deed normally specifies?
Answer Details
A partnership deed is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions agreed upon by partners in a partnership. It is designed to provide clarity and prevent disputes between partners. The partnership deed typically specifies how profits or losses are to be shared between the partners. This includes the percentage of profits or losses that each partner is entitled to receive, and how they are to be distributed. The deed may also specify the capital that each partner is required to contribute annually, as well as any conditions that must be met in order for additional capital to be contributed. While the partnership deed may address how salaries are paid to partners, it typically does not specify how salaries are paid to employees. This is because employees are not typically considered partners in a partnership. Finally, the partnership deed may outline the profit that the partnership aims to earn annually, but this is not always the case. Some partnerships may not have a specific profit goal, while others may have more ambitious targets. In summary, the partnership deed typically specifies how profits or losses are to be shared and the capital to be contributed annually. It may also include other provisions that are important to the partners, such as how the partnership will be managed and what happens in the event of a partner's death or retirement.
Question 24 Report
If the purchase price exceeds the net assets of a company, the excess amount is debited to________________
Answer Details
If the purchase price of a company exceeds the net assets, the excess amount is debited to the "goodwill account." Goodwill represents the value of a company's reputation, brand, customer relationships, and other intangible assets that are not included in the net assets of a company. When one company acquires another company for a price that exceeds the net assets of the acquired company, the difference between the purchase price and the net assets is attributed to the value of goodwill. Therefore, the excess amount is debited to the goodwill account to record the value of the intangible assets acquired in the transaction. This helps the acquiring company to reflect the true value of the acquired company's intangible assets on their balance sheet.

Answer Details
A partnership deed is used to promote mutual understanding. It is a legal document that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each partner in a partnership business. By specifying the roles and expectations of each partner, a partnership deed helps to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts that could arise between partners. The partnership deed typically includes information such as the names of the partners, the nature of the business, the capital contributions of each partner, the profit and loss sharing ratio, the management structure of the partnership, the procedures for adding or removing partners, and the rules for dissolution of the partnership. By having a clear and well-defined partnership deed, all partners can have a shared understanding of how the business will operate and what is expected of each partner. This can help to establish trust and promote a healthy working relationship between partners, which is crucial for the success of any partnership business.

The current growth in the volume of trading and financial dealings in nigerian is helped by?
Answer Details
The current growth in the volume of trading and financial dealings in Nigeria is mainly helped by increased financial activities. Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of financial institutions, such as banks and mobile money operators, offering various financial products and services. This has made it easier for businesses and individuals to access credit, make payments, and conduct other financial transactions. Moreover, the rise of digital technologies has further facilitated financial activities, allowing people to conduct transactions online and in real-time. This has also helped to reduce the cost and time required to conduct financial transactions, making it more convenient for businesses and individuals to engage in trade. While government intervention may have played a role in creating an enabling environment for financial activities, such as through the introduction of policies and regulations, it is ultimately the increased availability and accessibility of financial services that have driven the growth of trading and financial dealings in Nigeria.
Question 32 Report
Transfers from the head office to branches are best carried out at__________
Answer Details
Transfers from the head office to branches are best carried out at cost plus mark-up. This is because cost plus mark-up allows the head office to recover the cost of producing the goods, and also make a profit to cover its own overheads and expenses. Selling price and market price may not be the best options because they do not take into account the actual cost of producing the goods, which could lead to overcharging or undercharging the branches. In contrast, cost plus mark-up ensures that the branches receive the goods at a fair price, while also allowing the head office to cover its own costs and make a profit. Overall, this method promotes transparency and fairness in the transfer process.

Answer Details
Based on the given information, the term that best describes the scenario is "merger". A merger is a business consolidation that involves the combination of two or more companies into a single new entity. In this case, Bala Ltd acquired the business of Bello Ltd, which means that Bello Ltd is no longer operating as a separate company. Instead, Bello Ltd's assets, liabilities, and operations have been merged with those of Bala Ltd to form a single new entity. It's important to note that a merger can take many forms, and the specific legal and financial details of the transaction can vary. However, the key idea is that two or more companies combine to form a new, larger entity.

The accounting entries used to record a cheque issued by a business is to?
Answer Details
The accounting entries used to record a cheque issued by a business are to credit the Cash Book and debit the Drawer's account. When a business issues a cheque, it reduces the balance of cash held by the business, and this reduction in cash is recorded by debiting the Drawer's account. At the same time, the cheque creates a liability for the business, which is recorded by crediting the Cash Book. In other words, when the cheque is issued, the business is reducing its own cash balance and creating a debt or liability that will be paid in the future. Therefore, the Cash Book is credited to reflect the creation of the liability, while the Drawer's account is debited to show the reduction in the business's cash balance.

Question 38 Report
Which of the following is a common cause of a discrepancy between head office and branch trial office________
Answer Details
Stock and cash in transit is a common cause of a discrepancy between head office and branch trial office. This is because stock and cash in transit are two types of assets that are often not recorded accurately in the accounts. Stock can be difficult to value and count accurately, especially if it is in transit between the head office and the branch. Cash in transit refers to cash that is in the process of being transferred between the head office and the branch, and may not be recorded in either account until it has arrived at its destination. If the stock or cash in transit is not recorded accurately, it can result in a discrepancy between the head office and branch trial balance. For example, if the branch has recorded the stock as received, but the head office has not yet recorded it as sent, the branch will have a higher stock value than the head office. Similarly, if the branch has recorded cash in transit as received, but the head office has not yet recorded it as sent, the branch will have a higher cash balance than the head office. , which suggests stock and repayment, is incorrect because repayment is not directly related to a discrepancy between head office and branch trial balance. , which suggests creditors and cash in transit, is also incorrect because creditors are liabilities and not directly related to the assets that are in transit between head office and branch. , which suggests debtors and cash in transit, is also incorrect because debtors are not assets that are in transit between head office and branch, and therefore not a common cause of discrepancy between head office and branch trial balance.
Question 39 Report
In departmental accounting, which is not a transfer pricing_________
Answer Details
Peak pricing is not a transfer pricing method in departmental accounting. Transfer pricing is the process of determining the price at which goods or services are exchanged between different departments or divisions within a company. Cost based transfer price is a method where the transfer price is set based on the cost of producing the goods or services being transferred. Market based transfer pricing is a method where the transfer price is set based on the market price for the goods or services being transferred. Dual pricing system is a method where two different transfer prices are set for the same goods or services, depending on the context in which they are being transferred. Peak pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are increased during periods of high demand, such as holidays or special events. It is not a transfer pricing method.
Question 40 Report
Sule and Ahmed are in partnership sharing profit and losses equally. If Khadija is admitted as a new partner to take 1/5 th as her share. What is the new profit or loss sharing?
Answer Details
Sule and Ahmed have been sharing profits and losses equally, which means they divide the profits and losses 50-50. Now, Khadija is admitted as a new partner, and she takes 1/5 of the share. The new profit and loss sharing ratio will be 3 parts because there are now three partners. To calculate the new profit and loss sharing ratio, we need to divide 3 parts equally among the three partners. So, each part will be 1/3. Therefore, the new profit and loss sharing ratio will be: Sule 1/3, Ahmed 1/3, and Khadija 1/3. Hence, the correct answer is: Sule 1/3, Ahmed 1/3, and Khadija 1/3.
