Question 1 Report
The rent expense for Trendy store is ₦3500. Trendy store has three departments; jewelry, hair dressing, and clothing. The floor spaces occupied by the departments are 3:2:5 respectively. What is the rent allocated to clothing department?
Answer Details
To allocate the rent expense to the clothing department, we need to use the ratio of the floor spaces occupied by each department. Let's first add up the ratio of the floor spaces: 3 + 2 + 5 = 10 This means that the clothing department occupies 5/10 (or 1/2) of the total floor space. To allocate the rent expense to the clothing department, we need to multiply the total rent expense by the proportion of the floor space that the clothing department occupies: ₦3500 x 1/2 = ₦1750 Therefore, the rent allocated to the clothing department is ₦1750. So, the correct answer is option (C) ₦1750.
Question 2 Report
A machine bought for N35,000 was estimated to have a life span of 5 years with a scrap value of N9,000.
If the scrap value is presently N15,000, what will be the yearly depreciation using the straight line method?
Answer Details
The straight-line method is a commonly used depreciation method for accounting purposes. It assumes that an asset loses an equal amount of its value each year over its useful life. To calculate the yearly depreciation using the straight-line method, you need to subtract the scrap value from the original cost and then divide by the useful life of the machine. Original Cost of the Machine = N35,000 Scrap Value = N15,000 Useful Life = 5 years Depreciable Cost = Original Cost - Scrap Value Depreciable Cost = N35,000 - N15,000 Depreciable Cost = N20,000 Yearly Depreciation = Depreciable Cost / Useful Life Yearly Depreciation = N20,000 / 5 Yearly Depreciation = N4,000 Therefore, the yearly depreciation using the straight-line method for this machine is N4,000. is the correct answer.
Question 3 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 5 Report
When a bill is negotiated to a bank , it is said to be?
Answer Details
When a bill is negotiated to a bank, it is said to be "discounted". Negotiating a bill means transferring ownership of the bill from the original holder to the bank. In exchange for this transfer, the bank pays the holder an amount that is less than the face value of the bill, usually with a fee for providing this service. This process is known as "discounting the bill" because the holder receives a discounted value for the bill. So, when a bill is negotiated to a bank, it is said to be "discounted" because the holder receives a discounted value for the bill in exchange for transferring ownership to the bank.
Question 6 Report
A machine bought for N35,000 was estimated to have a life span of 5 years with a scrap value of N9,000.
The yearly depreciation using the straight line method would be
Answer Details
The straight-line method of depreciation assumes that an asset decreases in value evenly over its useful life. To calculate the yearly depreciation using the straight-line method, we need to subtract the scrap value from the original cost and then divide the result by the number of years of the asset's useful life. The original cost of the machine is N35,000, and the scrap value is N9,000. Therefore, the depreciable value of the machine is: Depreciable value = Original cost - Scrap value = N35,000 - N9,000 = N26,000 The useful life of the machine is 5 years. Therefore, the yearly depreciation is: Yearly depreciation = Depreciable value / Useful life = N26,000 / 5 = N5,200 So the yearly depreciation using the straight-line method for this machine is N5,200. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Question 11 Report
Profit or loss in a partnership is usually arrived at after deducting from gross profit all expenses including____________
Answer Details
In a partnership, the profit or loss is calculated by subtracting all expenses from the gross profit. These expenses include various costs incurred in running the partnership business, such as rent, utilities, supplies, and wages paid to employees. Additionally, the expenses also include the salaries paid to partners, which is the amount paid to the partners for their work in the business. This is different from the interest on capital, which is the return on the money invested by the partners in the business. Interest on loans is the cost of borrowing money to finance the partnership's operations. This interest expense is deducted from the gross profit to determine the partnership's net profit or loss. Finally, the partners' drawings, which are the amounts taken out of the business by the partners for personal use, are also deducted from the gross profit to determine the partnership's net profit or loss. In summary, the profit or loss in a partnership is calculated by subtracting all expenses, including salaries paid to partners, interest on capital, interest on loans, and partners' drawings, from the gross profit.

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.

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.

The company's earnings yield is? |
Answer Details
The earnings yield is a measure of the return on investment for a company's earnings. It is calculated by dividing the earnings per share by the market price per share, and expressing the result as a percentage. In this case, Tanko Ltd's earnings per share is 47k (0.47 Naira), and its market price per share is NM1.50 (1.50 Naira). So, the earnings yield can be calculated as follows: Earnings yield = (Earnings per share / Market price per share) x 100% = (0.47 / 1.50) x 100% = 31.33% Therefore, the earnings yield for Tanko Ltd is 31.33%, which means that for every Naira invested in the company's stock, investors can expect a return of 31.33 Naira in earnings.

Calculate the cost of goods sold
Answer Details
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to find the cost of goods available and then subtract the closing stock. The cost of goods available is found by adding the opening stock to the cost of purchases: 32,000 + 39,000 = 71,000 The cost of goods sold is found by subtracting the closing stock from the cost of goods available: 71,000 - 9,000 = 62,000 So, the cost of goods sold is ₦62,000.
Question 28 Report
In order to make the cash book balance equal to the bank statement, it is usually to add?
Answer Details
In order to make the cash book balance equal to the bank statement, it is usually necessary to add the amount of "unpresented cheques". This is because unpresented cheques represent the cheques that have been issued by the organization, but have not yet been presented to the bank for payment. As a result, these cheques are not reflected in the bank statement, but are recorded in the organization's cash book as a deduction from its cash balance. To reconcile the cash book balance with the bank statement, the organization needs to identify the unpresented cheques and add them to the cash book balance. This adjustment will increase the cash book balance to reflect the total amount of funds the organization actually has, even if they haven't yet been withdrawn from the bank. The other answer options, such as uncredited cheques, direct payments by bank, and bank charges, would typically require adjustments to be made to the cash book balance, but these adjustments would not necessarily involve adding amounts to the balance. For example, uncredited cheques may need to be deducted from the cash book balance, while bank charges may need to be added as a deduction. Direct payments by bank may also require adjustments to both the cash book and bank statement balances.

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.
Question 34 Report
In dealing with incomplete record, fixed assets are posted to___________-
Answer Details
In dealing with incomplete records, fixed assets are typically posted to the closing balance sheet as a brought forward figure. This means that the fixed asset is recorded as an asset at the beginning of the accounting period and is carried forward until the end of the period. The asset is then included in the closing balance sheet, which provides a snapshot of the company's financial position at the end of the period. Since incomplete records do not provide a complete picture of the company's financial transactions, it can be difficult to determine the exact value of fixed assets. Posting fixed assets to the closing balance sheet as a brought forward figure provides a way to include the assets in the company's financial statements without the need for extensive record-keeping or complicated calculations. By posting fixed assets to the closing balance sheet, it is easier to calculate the net worth of the company, which is an important indicator of financial health. This information can be used by investors, creditors, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions about the company.
Question 35 Report
Why are adjustments in the profit and loss account necessary?
Answer Details
The profit and loss account is a financial statement that shows a company's revenues, expenses, and profits over a particular period. The purpose of this statement is to give an overview of the company's financial performance during that period. However, it's not always straightforward to determine the exact amount of income and expenses for a particular period, which is why adjustments are necessary. Adjustments are necessary to ascertain the actual expenses incurred and income earned during the year. This involves adjusting the revenue and expenses figures to reflect the actual amounts earned or incurred during the year, including any amounts that have not been received or paid but are still owed or owing. For example, if a company has sold goods to a customer on credit, the revenue from that sale will not be reflected in the profit and loss account until the payment is received. Similarly, if the company has received goods or services from a supplier but has not yet paid for them, the expense will not be reflected in the profit and loss account until the payment is made. Adjustments are also necessary to show the provisions made during the year. Provisions are amounts set aside to cover potential future expenses or losses. For example, a company may set aside a provision for bad debts to cover potential losses from customers who are unlikely to pay. In conclusion, adjustments in the profit and loss account are necessary to provide an accurate representation of the company's financial performance during the period. These adjustments reflect the actual expenses incurred and income earned during the year, as well as any provisions made for potential future expenses or losses.
Question 36 Report
Advertising expenses incurred on a product in a business organization should be charged to
Answer Details
Advertising expenses incurred on a product in a business organization should be charged to the Sales department. The purpose of advertising is to promote a product or service to potential customers, which makes it an important part of the sales process. By generating interest in the product, advertising can help to increase sales and revenue. Therefore, advertising expenses are considered a selling expense and should be charged to the Sales department. This department is responsible for the promotion and sale of the product, and as such, it is appropriate to allocate the cost of advertising to this department. The Production department is responsible for manufacturing the product, while the Purchase department is responsible for acquiring the materials and supplies needed for production. Neither of these departments is directly involved in the sales process, which means that it would not be appropriate to charge advertising expenses to them. Finally, the Administration department is responsible for managing the overall operations of the business, including finance, human resources, and legal affairs. While advertising is an important part of running a successful business, it is not typically considered to be an administrative expense.

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.
