Question 10 Report
one of the options below is not the source of income for non- profit organization
Answer Details
The option that is not a source of income for a non-profit organization is "ordinary shares." Non-profit organizations are established to serve a particular purpose or mission, such as social welfare, charity, education, religion, or scientific research. These organizations operate on a non-profit basis, which means that their primary objective is not to generate profits for their owners or shareholders, but to fulfill their mission and provide benefits to the community they serve. Non-profit organizations rely on various sources of income to support their operations and programs. Some of the common sources of income for non-profit organizations include entrance fees, subscription/dues, and donations. Entrance fees and subscription/dues are fees charged to members of the organization or the public for the privilege of accessing the organization's services, programs, or events. Donations, on the other hand, are voluntary contributions made by individuals, foundations, corporations, or government agencies to support the organization's mission and activities. However, ordinary shares are not a source of income for non-profit organizations because non-profit organizations do not issue shares or have shareholders. Ordinary shares represent ownership in a for-profit corporation, and the dividends paid on those shares are a return on investment to the shareholders. Since non-profit organizations are not established for the purpose of generating profits for their owners or shareholders, they do not issue shares or distribute dividends.

Question 14 Report
What is the effect of transaction when cash is paid into the bank
Answer Details
When cash is paid into the bank, the effect on the bank balance and cash balance depends on the perspective you are looking from. From the customer's perspective, the cash balance decreases because they have physically handed over cash to the bank. However, their bank balance will increase because the bank now owes them that amount of money. From the bank's perspective, the bank balance decreases because they have received the cash and now owe the customer that amount of money. However, their cash balance will increase because they physically have more cash in their possession. Therefore, the effect of a transaction when cash is paid into the bank is that the cash balance for one party decreases while the other party's bank balance increases, and vice versa.
Question 15 Report
In manufacturing account, depreciation of office machine is charged to
Answer Details
In a manufacturing account, the depreciation of office machines is charged to the profit and loss account. The profit and loss account is a financial statement that shows a company's revenues, expenses, and net income over a certain period of time, typically a fiscal year or quarter. This statement is used to determine a company's profitability and evaluate its financial performance. Depreciation is an accounting term that refers to the reduction in value of a fixed asset, such as an office machine, due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or other factors. By charging the depreciation of an office machine to the profit and loss account, the company is recognizing the decrease in value of the asset and the impact it has on its financial performance. In summary, in a manufacturing account, the depreciation of office machines is charged to the profit and loss account to accurately reflect the financial impact of the decrease in value of the asset.
Question 16 Report
One of the options below have the same features as the profit and loss account in non-profit organization
Answer Details
The option that has the same features as the profit and loss account in a non-profit organization is the income and expenditure account. Both the profit and loss account and the income and expenditure account are financial statements that are used to report the financial performance of an organization over a specific period of time. However, the profit and loss account is used by for-profit organizations, while the income and expenditure account is used by non-profit organizations. The income and expenditure account records all the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by a non-profit organization during a particular period, just like how a profit and loss account records revenues and expenses for a for-profit organization. The difference is that in a non-profit organization, there is no concept of profit, and any surplus is reinvested back into the organization rather than being distributed to shareholders. In summary, the income and expenditure account is the equivalent of the profit and loss account in a non-profit organization, as it records the organization's financial performance during a specific period by tracking all the revenues earned and expenses incurred.

Question 24 Report
The discount column on the left-hand side of cashbook represents a discount
Answer Details
The discount column on the left-hand side of a cashbook usually represents a discount that is allowed to a debtor. This means that when a debtor pays their invoice or bill within a certain time period, they are eligible for a discount on the total amount owed. This discount is reflected in the cashbook by reducing the amount of cash received from the debtor by the discount amount. For example, if a debtor owes $100 and they are allowed a 5% discount if they pay within 10 days, they will only need to pay $95 if they pay within the specified time frame. In the cashbook, the total amount of cash received from the debtor would be recorded as $95, with the $5 discount amount recorded in the discount column. It's important to note that the discount column on the cashbook can also be used to record discounts that are received from a creditor, but this is less common. In this case, the discount column would show the amount of discount received from the creditor when paying an invoice or bill early or on time.
Question 25 Report

IV. It performs the same function as cashbook
The features of receipts and payment account includes
Answer Details
The receipts and payments account is a summary of cash transactions made by a non-profit organization over a particular period of time. It shows the total amount of cash received and spent during the period, and is usually prepared at the end of the financial year. Based on the given features, we can identify the following characteristics of the receipts and payments account: I. It records subscription in arrears: This means that the account includes any unpaid subscription fees from previous periods. These are considered as outstanding liabilities and are recorded as such. II. Payments of liabilities is effected: The receipts and payments account records any payments made by the organization to settle its liabilities, such as loans, rent, or bills. III. The account does not show if cash payment is revenue or capital expenditure: The receipts and payments account does not provide information about the nature of the payment. It simply shows the cash transaction and does not differentiate between revenue or capital expenditures. IV. It performs the same function as cashbook: The receipts and payments account serves the same purpose as a cashbook, as it records all cash receipts and payments during a particular period. Based on these features, the correct option is (I, II, and IV). The receipts and payments account records outstanding subscription fees (I), tracks payments made to settle liabilities (II), and performs the same function as a cashbook (IV). Option (II, III, and IV) is incorrect because it does not include the feature of recording subscription fees in arrears. Option (III and IV) is also incorrect because it does not include the feature of recording payments made to settle liabilities. Option (I, II, and III) is incorrect because it does not include the feature of performing the same function as a cashbook.
Question 26 Report
Given:
I. Cash refunds
II. Debit note issued
III. Dishonored cheque
IV. Purchases
The item on the credit side of purchases ledger control account includes
Answer Details
The item on the credit side of the purchases ledger control account is purchases. This is because the purchases ledger control account is used to keep track of the total amount of purchases made on credit by a business. When a purchase is made, the supplier's account is debited and the purchases ledger control account is credited for the same amount. Out of the given options, none of them specifies anything related to the credit side of purchases ledger control account except option (D) - I, III, and IV only. However, option (D) includes all the options except II which is not directly related to the purchases ledger control account. Cash refunds, dishonored cheques, and purchases are all transactions that affect the purchases ledger control account. Therefore, the correct answer is option (D) - I, III, and IV only.
Question 27 Report
In the period of rising prices, which method of stock valuation is most appropriate?
Answer Details
In the period of rising prices, it's important to use a stock valuation method that accurately reflects the current market value of the stock. One of the most widely used methods for this purpose is the Weighted Average method. The Weighted Average method takes into account the cost of the stock and the number of shares purchased at different times and prices. It then calculates the average cost per share by weighting the cost of each purchase based on the number of shares bought at that price. This method provides a more accurate picture of the current market value of the stock, as it takes into account any changes in the stock price over time. The other methods, such as First in First Out (FIFO) or Last in First Out (LIFO), only take into account the cost of the first or last shares purchased and may not accurately reflect the current market value of the stock. The Simple Average method, on the other hand, only calculates the average cost of all the shares purchased and does not take into account the number of shares bought at each price. In summary, the Weighted Average method is the most appropriate method of stock valuation in the period of rising prices as it provides a more accurate reflection of the current market value of the stock.
Question 28 Report
Processed data is only useful to user if it is
Answer Details
Processed data is only useful to a user if it is relevant. Processing data involves transforming raw data into a more usable format, such as creating graphs, tables, or summaries. This process helps to organize the data and make it easier to understand. However, even with this processing, data may not be useful unless it is relevant to the user's needs. Relevance refers to whether the processed data provides information that is meaningful and useful to the user. For example, if a user is trying to understand the performance of a particular product, then processed data that shows the sales figures for that product would be relevant. However, if the processed data only shows sales figures for unrelated products, then it would not be useful to the user. In summary, processed data is only useful if it is relevant to the user's needs. This means that the processed data must provide information that is meaningful and useful to the user, helping them to make informed decisions or take appropriate actions based on the data.

Question 31 Report
The correct expression of accounting equation is
Answer Details
The correct expression of the accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Equity. The accounting equation is the foundation of double-entry accounting and is used to describe the relationship between a company's assets, liabilities, and equity. Assets are the resources a company owns and uses to generate revenue, such as cash, equipment, and inventory. Liabilities are the debts a company owes to others, such as loans or accounts payable. Equity represents the ownership interest in the company and includes items like common stock and retained earnings. The equation states that the total value of a company's assets must equal the sum of its liabilities and equity. This makes sense because a company's assets are either financed by debt (liabilities) or by the owners' investments (equity). In other words, the accounting equation is a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific moment in time, showing how its resources are being used to finance its operations.

Question 36 Report
A double entry for a transaction that offsets one amount against another on both sides of the cashbook is a
Answer Details
The double entry for a transaction that offsets one amount against another on both sides of the cashbook is called a "contra entry". A contra entry is a type of accounting entry where two transactions are recorded simultaneously, but in opposite directions, in order to offset each other. This means that the amount debited in one account is equal to the amount credited in another account, resulting in a net effect of zero on the total balance sheet. For example, if a company pays off a debt using cash from their bank account, a contra entry will be made in the cashbook. The bank account will be credited with the payment amount, while the cash account will be debited with the same amount. This results in a zero net effect on the total balance sheet because the company's assets (cash) have decreased by the same amount that their liabilities (debt) have decreased. In summary, contra entries are used to record transactions that offset each other, resulting in no net effect on the total balance sheet. They are important in maintaining accurate accounting records and ensuring that financial statements are correct.

Which of these is the subsidiary book for return inwards?
Answer Details
The subsidiary book for return inwards is the Sales return journal. It is used to record any goods returned by customers to the business. This journal is a type of subsidiary book used in the accounting process to record transactions related to sales returns, and it helps in keeping a record of all the goods returned by customers. When customers return goods, the business needs to record this transaction separately from the original sales transaction. This is because the return of goods will affect the revenue earned by the business, and it also affects the inventory of the business. The Sales return journal is used to record the details of the goods returned by the customers, such as the date of the return, the quantity of the goods returned, the reason for the return, and the amount refunded or credited to the customer. In summary, the Sales return journal is the subsidiary book for return inwards because it is used to record all the transactions related to goods returned by customers.
Question 39 Report
Subscription in advance is treated in the balance sheet as a
Answer Details
Subscription in advance is treated as a current liability in the balance sheet. A balance sheet is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point in time. It lists the assets, liabilities, and equity of the company. Assets are resources owned by a company that have value, such as cash, investments, property, and inventory. Liabilities are obligations or debts that the company owes to others, such as loans, mortgages, and accounts payable. Current liabilities are obligations that are due within one year or the company's operating cycle, whichever is longer. Subscription in advance is money received by a company for a service or product that will be delivered in the future. Since the company has a legal obligation to provide the service or product, the money received is considered a liability until the service is provided or the product is delivered. Therefore, subscription in advance is recorded as a current liability on the balance sheet, because the company is expected to fulfill its obligation within one year.
Question 40 Report

This account is used to track the allocation of profits and losses among the partners and ensure that each partner receives their fair share of the profits. The appropriation account is a temporary account that is closed at the end of the accounting period and the amounts are transferred to the partners' capital accounts. The partners' capital accounts show the partners' individual ownership interests in the partnership and their share of the profits and losses.
