Answer Details
A provision is an amount of money set aside in a company's accounts to cover a future liability or expense that is uncertain in timing or amount. It is a type of reserve that is created to meet a specific expense or loss that is likely to occur in the future. Provisions are typically made for things like warranties, bad debts, or legal claims. By creating a provision, a company can ensure that it has enough funds to cover the expense when it arises and can avoid taking a big hit to its profits in that particular period.

The term bad debt is used to describe
Answer Details
The term bad debt is used to describe a debt that cannot be recovered. In other words, it is a debt that is unlikely to be paid by the debtor due to their financial situation, bankruptcy, or unwillingness to pay. When a company determines that a debt is bad, they will remove it from their accounts receivable and record it as a loss in their income statement.

Answer Details
The concept illustrated in the scenario is the concept of "materiality." Materiality is a concept in accounting that states that financial information should be disclosed if its omission or misstatement would affect the decision-making process of users of the financial statements. In this case, the trader paid N15,000 on rent for 15 months, but only N12,000 was charged to the profit and loss account for the year. This could be due to the fact that the remaining N3,000 was considered immaterial and not necessary to be disclosed in the financial statements. This is an example of how the concept of materiality is applied in accounting.

Discounts allowed is charged to the profit and loss account. This is because discounts allowed are considered as an expense of the business and are deducted from the gross sales revenue to arrive at the net sales revenue. The net sales revenue is then used to calculate the gross profit, which is a key component of the profit and loss account. Therefore, discounts allowed reduce the profit of the business and are shown as an expense in the profit and loss account.

What is the cost of raw materials consumed?
Answer Details
The cost of raw materials consumed can be calculated by finding the cost of raw materials used in production. This can be done by subtracting the cost of raw materials at the end of the year from the cost of raw materials available for use during the year. Cost of raw materials available for use = Opening stock + Purchases = 4,500 + 30,000 = N34,500 Cost of raw materials at the end of the year = Closing stock = N6,000 Therefore, cost of raw materials consumed = Cost of raw materials available for use - Cost of raw materials at the end of the year = N34,500 - N6,000 = N28,500 So, the answer is N28,500.

Answer Details
To find Baba's Current Account balance on 31st December, 2000, we need to calculate his share of the net profit for the year, which is calculated as follows: Baba's share of capital = N40,000 Baba's interest on capital (10% of N40,000) = N4,000 Baba's share of net profit (after deducting salaries) = N31,000 (i.e. N40,000 - N5,000) Baba's total credit balance in his Current Account during the year = N20,000 Baba's drawings during the year = N4,000 Therefore, Baba's Current Account balance on 31st December, 2000 is: N20,000 - N4,000 + N31,000 + N4,000 = N51,000 Therefore, the answer is option A, N35,500.

Answer Details
The asset was bought on 1st January 1995 for N60,000 and depreciated annually at 20% on cost. The accumulated depreciation as at 30th October 1998 is calculated as follows: Depreciation for 1995 = 20/100 x 60,000 = N12,000 Depreciation for 1996 = 20/100 x 60,000 = N12,000 Depreciation for 1997 = 20/100 x 60,000 = N12,000 Depreciation for 1998 (up to 30th October) = 20/100 x 60,000 x 10/12 = N10,000 Total accumulated depreciation as at 30th October, 1998 = N46,000 The book value of the asset on 30th October, 1998 is calculated as follows: Cost price of the asset = N60,000 Accumulated depreciation = N46,000 Book value = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation Book value = N60,000 - N46,000 = N14,000 Since the asset was sold for N21,000, the profit on sale is calculated as follows: Profit on sale = Selling price - Book value Profit on sale = N21,000 - N14,000 = N7,000 Therefore, the profit on sale is N7,000. Answer option: (D) N9,000 is not correct.

Answer Details
The concept described in the statement "Accountants do not count chickens before they are climbed" is the concept of realization. This concept is related to the recognition of revenue or income when it is earned or realized, not when the payment is actually received. It means that accountants should not recognize revenue until it has been earned or the goods or services have been delivered. This ensures that financial statements provide an accurate representation of the company's financial position and performance. In other words, revenue should only be recognized when it is certain that payment will be received for the goods or services provided.

Therefore, the sales ledger would include the Debtors Account, which tracks the amount owed by each debtor and the payment status of each debtor. The other options are not part of the sales ledger. Motor Van Disposal Account would be part of the fixed assets section, Bank Account would be part of the cash or bank section, and Rent and Rates Account would be part of the expenses section in a company's books of accounts.
Question 33 Report
When shares are oversubscribed, the promoters may decide to scale down. When this is done, the shares are issued proportionately
Answer Details
When a company issues shares and they are oversubscribed (i.e., more people want to buy shares than the company has available), the company may decide to scale down the number of shares each applicant is allocated. Scaling down is the process of reducing the number of shares to be issued to each applicant in proportion to the number of shares they applied for. This means that everyone who applied for shares will get a percentage of the shares they applied for, rather than receiving nothing at all or only a portion of the shares they applied for. This is known as issuing shares proportionately or on a pro-rata basis. The exact proportion of shares that each applicant receives is based on the total number of shares applied for and the number of shares available for issue.

From the given information, the following items are considered as current liabilities: - Rent owing: N400 - Creditors: N11,000 - Bank overdraft: N8,750 Therefore, the total current liabilities are: N400 + N11,000 + N8,750 = N20,150 Hence, the answer is N20,150.

Answer Details
The amount of N45,000 paid by the trader for insurance premium for 15 months ended 31st March, 2000 will have expired for 9 months (January to September) by 31st December. Therefore, the amount of N30,000 (45,000/15 x 9) will be classified as an expense in the Profit and Loss account for the year ended 31st December, while the remaining N15,000 (45,000/15 x 6) will be classified as a current asset in the Balance Sheet. This is because the insurance policy still covers the trader's business for the remaining 6 months (October to March) and can be claimed as an expense in the next accounting year when it expires. Therefore, the correct answer is a current asset.

To calculate the interest on Tunde's capital, we need to multiply Tunde's capital balance at the beginning of the year by the interest rate. Tunde's capital balance at the beginning of the year is N50,000.

Question 38 Report
An asset was bought on 1st January, 1995 for N60,000. Depreciation was provided for annually at 20% on cost. It was sold for N21,000 on 30th October 1998. Depreciation is charged fully in the year of disposal. Accumulated depreciation is
Answer Details
Accumulated depreciation is the total amount of depreciation charged on an asset since it was acquired. Using the straight-line method, the annual depreciation charged on the asset is 20% of N60,000 which is N12,000. So, from 1st January, 1995 to 31st December, 1997 (3 years), the accumulated depreciation will be N12,000 x 3 = N36,000. Since depreciation is charged fully in the year of disposal, the accumulated depreciation for the period from 1st January, 1998 to 30th October, 1998 will be 20% of N60,000 which is N12,000. Therefore, the total accumulated depreciation will be N36,000 + N12,000 = N48,000. Hence, the answer is N48,000.
