Question 2 Report
Salaries in arrears is treated in the balance sheet as a
Answer Details
Salaries in arrears is treated as a current liability in the balance sheet. This means that it represents a debt or an obligation that a company owes to its employees for work that has already been done but not yet paid for. When a company has salaries in arrears, it means that they have not paid their employees their full salary for the current accounting period. This could be due to a delay in payment processing, an error in calculation, or other reasons. Since the payment of the outstanding salaries is expected to happen within a short period of time (usually within the next accounting period), it is considered a current liability. It is listed on the balance sheet under the current liabilities section, along with other short-term debts that the company owes, such as accounts payable, taxes payable, and other accrued expenses. It's important to note that once the company pays the outstanding salaries, the amount of the liability will be reduced and it will no longer appear on the balance sheet.

Answer Details
The profit in a partnership is usually distributed to the partners in their profit sharing ratio through an appropriation account. 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.

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.

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 11 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 12 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 14 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.

Determine the amount of goodwill.
Answer Details
To determine the amount of goodwill, we need to first understand what goodwill is. Goodwill is an intangible asset that represents the value of a company's reputation, brand name, customer base, and other intangible factors that contribute to its overall value. In this case, we have been given a balance sheet that includes the purchase consideration, which is the amount paid for the acquisition of another company. The purchase consideration includes the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of the company being acquired. To calculate the goodwill, we need to subtract the fair market value of the net assets acquired from the purchase consideration. The net assets acquired are the total assets acquired minus the total liabilities acquired. The fair market value of the net assets acquired is calculated as follows: Plant and Machinery: ₦190,000 Motor Vehicle: ₦170,000 Stock: ₦60,000 Total Assets: ₦420,000 Current Liabilities: ₦50,000 Net Assets: ₦370,000 Therefore, the fair market value of the net assets acquired is ₦370,000. To calculate the goodwill, we subtract the fair market value of the net assets acquired from the purchase consideration: Goodwill = Purchase Consideration - Fair Market Value of Net Assets Acquired Goodwill = ₦400,000 - ₦370,000 Goodwill = ₦30,000 Therefore, the amount of goodwill in this case is ₦30,000.

Question 17 Report
Which of these accounts is dissolution expenses credited?
Answer Details
When a partnership firm is dissolved, all the assets are sold and liabilities are paid off. The remaining amount is distributed among the partners. However, there may be some expenses that need to be paid for winding up the business, such as legal fees, accounting fees, etc. These expenses are known as dissolution expenses. To record the dissolution expenses, we need to credit an account. The account that is credited for dissolution expenses is the realization account. The realization account is a nominal account that is used to record the sale of assets, payment of liabilities, and any other adjustments related to the dissolution of the partnership. Option D: Realization account is the correct answer. Partners capital account is a personal account used to record the capital contributed by each partner and their share of profits/losses. Revaluation account is a nominal account that is used to record the revaluation of assets and liabilities during the dissolution of the partnership. Partners current account is a personal account that is used to record the transactions between the partnership and each partner, such as drawings, interest on capital, and salary. Therefore, the correct answer is option D: Realization account.

Question 20 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.

Answer Details
The importance of branch accounts includes enabling an organization to determine which branch is making either profit or loss, allowing proper control over the branch by the head office, and assisting the organization to determine the performance of a branch manager. However, the option that is not an importance of branch accounts is "it allows fraud and wastage of resources". This is because branch accounts are designed to increase the level of accountability and transparency in an organization's operations, especially in cases where the organization operates from multiple locations. By having separate branch accounts, it is easier to detect any fraudulent activities or wastage of resources in any particular branch. Therefore, branch accounts do not allow fraud and wastage of resources; instead, they serve as a control mechanism to prevent such occurrences.

Question 27 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.

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.

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.

Which of these is the main source document for recording cash paid into bank?
Answer Details
The main source document for recording cash paid into a bank is a pay-in-slip. Explanation: When a business or an individual deposits cash into a bank account, a pay-in-slip is filled out to record the transaction. A pay-in-slip is a document provided by the bank that contains information about the account holder, account number, and the amount of cash being deposited. The pay-in-slip also includes a section where the account holder can list the currency denominations of the cash being deposited. The pay-in-slip serves as a source document for recording the cash deposit in the accounting records of the business. It contains information that is used to create a journal entry to record the cash deposit. The journal entry would typically include a debit to the bank account and a credit to the cash account. In contrast, an invoice is a document used to request payment from a customer, while a credit note is a document used to provide a refund or credit to a customer. A cheque book contains blank cheques that are used to make payments from a bank account. These documents are not used to record cash paid into a bank, and thus, are not the main source document for such transactions. Therefore, the correct answer is pay-in-slip.

It typically contains data that is considered permanent or long-lasting, such as employee data, customer data, or inventory data. Out of the options listed, the content of a master file would be "all records relevant to the organization." This includes any data that is critical to the organization's operations, such as customer information, transactional data, financial data, and inventory data.

Similarly, all records relating to employees may be part of a master file if employee data is critical to the organization's operations, such as payroll data or HR data. However, it is important to note that a master file can contain many types of data, not just data related to employees. In summary, a master file is a collection of critical data that serves as the primary source of data for an organization's operational and transactional systems, and it can include a variety of data types depending on the organization's needs.
Question 40 Report
Which fund is used to meet unforeseen or urgent expenditure
Answer Details
The fund used to meet unforeseen or urgent expenditures is called the contingencies fund. This fund is created by the government to provide immediate financial assistance in case of emergencies, where the expenditure could not have been foreseen or planned in advance, and for which no other provision has been made. The contingencies fund is kept at the disposal of the President or the Governor, depending on the level of government, who can authorize its use for urgent expenditures. These expenditures may include natural disasters, calamities, unexpected defense requirements, and other unforeseen events that require immediate attention and expenditure. The contingencies fund is a temporary measure to deal with urgent situations and is usually replenished in the subsequent budget. Its purpose is to ensure that the government has the necessary resources to deal with unforeseen emergencies without disrupting the regular budgetary process.
