How much commission was apportioned to Department a?
Answer Details
To determine the commission apportioned to Department A, we need to calculate the ratio of turnover between Department A and the total turnover of the company. Total Turnover = Turnover of Department A + Turnover of Department B Total Turnover = ₦100,000 + ₦80,000 = ₦180,000 Ratio of Turnover for Department A = Turnover of Department A / Total Turnover Ratio of Turnover for Department A = ₦100,000 / ₦180,000 = 5/9 Commission apportioned to Department A = Ratio of Turnover for Department A * Total Commission Commission apportioned to Department A = (5/9) * ₦3,600 = ₦2,000 Therefore, the commission apportioned to Department A is ₦2,000.

The authorized capital of Tale Ltd is
Answer Details
The authorized capital is the maximum amount of share capital that a company can issue to the public. The information provided in the question does not directly reveal the authorized capital of Tale Ltd, so we cannot determine the answer with certainty. We only know that the company has issued 100,000 ordinary shares of ₦1 each and 60,000 5% preference shares of ₦1 each, which were fully paid. However, we can calculate the total issued share capital by adding the values of the ordinary and preference shares, which gives a total of ₦160,000. Therefore, the closest answer to this question is ₦160,000.

Question 14 Report
The difference between factory cost of goods produced and its market value is
Answer Details
The difference between factory cost of goods produced and its market value is called manufacturing profit. This represents the amount of profit a manufacturing company makes from producing goods, taking into account the costs of raw materials, labor, and overhead expenses, and the selling price of the finished goods. The market value is the price at which the finished goods can be sold in the market. The factory cost of goods produced includes all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production process, including direct materials, direct labor, and factory overheads. Therefore, the difference between the factory cost of goods produced and the market value represents the profit made by the manufacturer after accounting for all the production costs.

Question 16 Report
Which of the following s not part of cost of production?
Answer Details
Administrative overheads are not part of the cost of production. Direct material cost, direct wages, and factory overheads are the main components of the cost of production. Direct material cost refers to the cost of raw materials used in the production process. Direct wages refer to the wages paid to workers who are directly involved in the production process, such as machine operators and assembly line workers. Factory overheads include indirect costs such as rent, utilities, and depreciation of equipment used in the production process. On the other hand, administrative overheads are costs incurred in the general administration of the business, such as salaries of administrative staff, office rent, and office supplies. These costs are not directly related to the production process and are not included in the cost of production.

In the preparation of manufacturing accounts, prime cost plus factory overheads equal to the cost of production. Prime cost includes the cost of raw materials and direct labor while factory overheads include all other indirect manufacturing costs such as rent, utilities, and factory supplies. When we add these two costs, we get the total cost of production. This total cost of production is an important figure in the calculation of cost of goods sold, which is used in determining the gross profit or loss of a manufacturing business.

Closing capital is
Answer Details
To calculate the closing capital, we need to start with the opening capital, and then add the profit and subtract any drawings. First, let's calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS): COGS = Cost of sales + (Mark-up x Cost of sales) COGS = 50,000 + (0.5 x 50,000) = 75,000 Next, let's calculate the gross profit: Gross profit = Sales - COGS Gross profit = (1 + Mark-up) x COGS - COGS Gross profit = Mark-up x COGS Gross profit = 0.5 x 50,000 = 25,000 Now we can calculate the net profit: Net profit = Gross profit - General expenses Net profit = 25,000 - 7,000 = 18,000 Finally, we can calculate the closing capital: Closing capital = Opening capital + Net profit - Drawings Closing capital = 60,000 + 18,000 - 4,000 = 74,000 Therefore, the answer is ₦74,000.

The cost of goods sold is
Answer Details
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the formula: Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Carriage Inwards - Closing Stock - Returns Outwards Substituting the given values, we get: Cost of Goods Sold = 20,100 + 168,000 + 5,000 - 48,800 - 8,000 Cost of Goods Sold = Le 136,200 Therefore, the cost of goods sold is Le 136,200.

Which of the following concepts is exposed to hold when a proprietor makes a drawing of goods or cash from the business?
Answer Details
The concept that is exposed to hold when a proprietor makes a drawing of goods or cash from the business is the "business entity" concept. The business entity concept states that the business is separate and distinct from its owner(s), and the owner's personal transactions or assets should not be mixed with the transactions or assets of the business. When the proprietor takes out goods or cash from the business for personal use, it is considered a withdrawal or a reduction of the owner's equity in the business and should be recorded accordingly. This ensures that the financial statements of the business reflect only the transactions and activities of the business and not those of the owner(s) personally.

Question 33 Report

Answer Details
When provision is made for doubtful debts, the accounting entries are: Debit: Profit and Loss Account Credit: Provision for Doubtful Debts Account This is because the provision for doubtful debts is a provision made by the business to cover the possibility of some of its debtors defaulting on their payments. The provision is an estimated amount of bad debts that the business expects to incur in the future. As such, it is charged as an expense to the profit and loss account, which reduces the profit for the year. On the other hand, the credit entry is made to the provision for doubtful debts account, which is a balance sheet account. This means that it represents a liability of the business, which will be set aside to cover the expected bad debts.

The dividend payable to preference shareholders is
Answer Details
To calculate the dividend payable to preference shareholders, we need to first find the net profit available for appropriation. Net profit available for appropriation = Net profit for the year - Proposed dividend on ordinary shares - Interim dividend - Goodwill written off Net profit available for appropriation = ₦6,000 - ₦4,000 - ₦6,000 - ₦600 = (₦4,600) Since preference shares have a fixed dividend rate of 5%, we can calculate the dividend payable to preference shareholders as follows: Dividend payable to preference shareholders = 5% of (number of preference shares * par value per share) = 5% of (60,000 * ₦1) = ₦3,000 Therefore, the dividend payable to preference shareholders is ₦3,000. Option (c) ₦3,000 is the correct answer.

Question 44 Report
Which of the following is the effect of an increase in the provision for discount allowed?
Answer Details
An increase in the provision for discount allowed will result in a decrease in net profit. The provision for discount allowed is an estimate of the discounts that a business will give to its customers for early payment or other reasons. When the provision for discount allowed is increased, it means that the business is expecting to give more discounts than it previously estimated. This will reduce the amount of revenue the business will earn, and thus reduce the net profit. Therefore, the correct option is (3) decrease in net profit.
