Total withdrawal is

₦3,500

₦2,500

₦2,000

₦1,000

Answer Details

To find the total withdrawals, we need to calculate the balance after each transaction and see how much it has decreased from the previous balance. Starting balance (2/1/06): ₦2,000 3/1/06: ₦2,000 - ₦500 = ₦1,500 4/1/06: ₦1,500 5/1/06: ₦1,500 6/1/06: ₦1,500 - ₦3,000 = -₦1,500 Since the balance is negative at the end, it means there were more withdrawals than deposits. To find the total withdrawals, we take the absolute value of the final balance: Total withdrawals = ₦1,500 Therefore, the correct answer is ₦3,500.

Rent is apportioned each department on the basis of

area or space occupied

equuality

turnover

purchases

Answer Details

Rent can be apportioned to different departments in a business based on different methods. However, the most common method used to apportion rent is based on the area or space occupied by each department. In this method, the total rent payable is divided by the total area of the building and then multiplied by the area occupied by each department. This gives the amount of rent that each department should be charged based on the space they occupy. This method ensures that each department pays a fair share of the rent based on the amount of space they use, and it is a simple and objective way to apportion rent.

Answer Details

The value of raw materials used in production can be calculated by subtracting the closing stock of raw materials from the total cost of raw materials purchased, after adjusting for returns and adding the cost of carriage on raw materials. The calculation can be done as follows: Total cost of raw materials purchased = D236,500 Less: Returns of raw materials = D4,750 Add: Carriage on raw materials = D44,000 Net cost of raw materials purchased = D275,750 Less: Closing stock of raw materials = D39,500 Value of raw materials used = D236,250 Therefore, the value of raw materials used is D236,250. The correct option is: - D 236,250

In a not for profit making organization, the excess of income over expenditure is

added to capital

added to accumulated fund

deduced from capital

deducted from accumulated fund

Answer Details

In a not for profit organization, any excess of income over expenditure is not considered as profit. Rather, it is added to the accumulated fund. The accumulated fund represents the accumulated surplus of the organization over time, and it is used to finance the organization's future activities. This is because not for profit organizations do not have shareholders or owners who can claim any surplus or profit generated by the organization. Therefore, any excess of income over expenditure is added to the accumulated fund, which is essentially the organization's equity.

Advertising is not part of the cost of production. Cost of production refers to the cost incurred in the process of manufacturing or producing goods or services. It includes expenses such as wages of operators, factory power, cost of raw materials, and other costs directly associated with the production process.

The provision for depreciation is the estimated amount set aside to be deducted from the original cost of the asset in order to calculate its net book value or carrying value. The net book value of an asset is the difference between its original cost and the accumulated depreciation charged against it. Since the provision for depreciation is a contra account to fixed assets, it is shown as a deduction from fixed assets in the balance sheet.

A difference between the debit and credit totals in a trial balance is placed in

bank reconciliation statement

profit and loss account

suspense account

appropriate account

Answer Details

When preparing a trial balance, the total of all the debit balances should equal the total of all the credit balances. However, if there is a difference between the debit and credit totals, this indicates an error in the accounting records. To correct this error, the difference is placed in a temporary account called a "suspense account." The suspense account is used to temporarily hold the difference until it can be identified and corrected. Once the error is identified and corrected, the appropriate account is adjusted to reflect the correction. If the difference is due to a timing difference or an item that cannot be specifically identified, the amount in the suspense account will be transferred to the profit and loss account or appropriate account. Therefore, the correct option to select in this scenario would be the "suspense account."

The purchase of a typewriter for office use for ₦2,000 is debited to

creditors

bank account

purchases account

equipment account

Answer Details

The purchase of a typewriter for office use for ₦2,000 should be debited to the equipment account. This is because the typewriter is a type of fixed asset, and the equipment account is used to record the cost of fixed assets purchased by the company for use in its operations. The creditors account is used to record amounts owed to suppliers for goods or services purchased on credit, so it would not be appropriate to debit the typewriter purchase to this account. The bank account is used to record cash transactions, so it would not be appropriate to debit the typewriter purchase to this account unless the purchase was made with cash. The purchases account is used to record the cost of inventory purchased for resale, so it would not be appropriate to debit the typewriter purchase to this account unless the typewriter was purchased for resale.

The reduction in value of an intangible asset is

Answer Details

The reduction in value of an intangible asset is called amortization. Intangible assets are assets that don't have a physical form, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights. These assets have a limited useful life, and their value decreases over time due to wear and tear or obsolescence. Amortization is the process of spreading the cost of the intangible asset over its useful life, in a way that reflects its declining value. The purpose of amortization is to match the cost of the asset with the revenues it generates over time, so that the financial statements reflect a more accurate picture of the company's financial performance.

Question 36 Report

A motor car costing D100,000 was depreciated at 20% per annum by the diminishing balance method. Two years later, it was sold for D60,000. Using the information, the net profit or loss on the sale was

D 40,000 profit

D 4,000 profit

D 4,000 loss

D 40,000 loss

Answer Details

Using the diminishing balance method, the depreciation for the first year would be 20% of D100,000 which is D20,000. The written down value at the end of the first year would be D80,000 (D100,000 - D20,000). In the second year, the depreciation would be 20% of D80,000 which is D16,000. The written down value at the end of the second year would be D64,000 (D80,000 - D16,000). The net book value (NBV) of the motor car at the time of sale would be D64,000. Therefore, the loss on sale would be the difference between the net book value (NBV) and the sale price. Loss on sale = NBV - Sale price Loss on sale = D64,000 - D60,000 Loss on sale = D4,000 So, the net loss on the sale of the motor car is D4,000. Therefore, the correct option is D 4,000 loss.

The term "factory overhead" refers to all indirect costs incurred in the manufacturing process that are not directly traceable to a particular product. These costs are necessary for the production process, but cannot be directly attributed to a single product unit. Examples of factory overhead include factory salaries, factory lighting and heating, and depreciation of plant and machinery. Depreciation of furniture and fixtures, on the other hand, is not typically included in factory overhead as it is not related to the production process.

Question 46 Report

Abu, a debtor to Dania, owed ₦10,500 at the start of the month. He paid cash of ₦40,005 during the month and received additional credit sales of ₦20,000.Using the information, Abu's balance at the end of the month is

₦30,505 cr.

₦9,505 cr.

₦9,505 dr.

₦30,500 dr.

Answer Details

To calculate Abu's balance at the end of the month, we need to add up all the cash he paid and all the credit he received, and then subtract that total from the amount he owed at the start of the month. First, Abu paid ₦40,005 in cash, which we can subtract from the amount he owed: ₦10,500 - ₦40,005 = ₦-29,505 This means that Abu has overpaid by ₦29,505. However, we also need to consider the additional credit sales of ₦20,000 that Abu received during the month. Adding the credit to the overpaid amount: ₦29,505 + ₦20,000 = ₦49,505 So, Abu's balance at the end of the month is ₦49,505 credit. Therefore, the correct answer is ₦30,505 cr.

Subscription prepared by members is recorded in the balance sheet of a club as a current liability. A current liability is a financial obligation that a company or organization is obligated to pay off within a year or an operating cycle, whichever is longer. Subscription prepared by members represents the amount of money that the club members have paid in advance for future services or events. As these services or events will be provided in the future, the subscription is recorded as a liability because the club is yet to fulfill its obligation to the members. Hence, subscription prepared by members is shown on the liability side of the club's balance sheet until the services or events are provided, at which point it will be recognized as revenue.
