Which of the following expenses is allocated according to the floor area?
Detalles de la respuesta
The expense that is allocated according to the floor area is "Rent and Rates". Rent and Rates is a common expense for businesses that rent or own commercial space. This expense is usually allocated based on the amount of floor space that the business occupies. The larger the floor space, the higher the rent and rates expense. This is because the amount of space that a business occupies is a key factor in determining the cost of rent and rates for that space. Wages and Salaries, Canteen Expenses, and Discount allowed are not allocated based on the floor area, as they are either related to the employees or the sales of the business.

Mr White acquired Mr Black's business for GH¢ 410,000. The total assets were GH¢ 670,000 and liabilities amounted to GH¢ 320,000.

Detalles de la respuesta
Goodwill is an intangible asset that arises when one business acquires another business. It represents the excess of the purchase price over the net value of the assets acquired. In this case, Mr White acquired Mr Black's business for GH¢ 410,000, while the total assets of the business were GH¢ 670,000 and liabilities amounted to GH¢ 320,000. Therefore, the goodwill in this transaction is GH¢ (410,000 - 350,000) = GH¢ 60,000. To record the goodwill in the books, the double entry would be to debit the goodwill account (an asset account) and credit the purchase of business account (a liability account) for the same amount of GH¢ 60,000. This entry reflects the fact that the goodwill represents an asset for Mr White's business, while at the same time acknowledging that the purchase of the business has increased his liabilities. Therefore, the correct answer is: Goodwill account and credit purchase of business account.

Mr White acquired Mr Black's business for GH¢ 410,000. The total assets were GH¢ 670,000 and liabilities amounted to GH¢ 320,000.
How much was paid for goodwill?
Detalles de la respuesta
To determine the amount paid for goodwill, we need to calculate the net assets acquired by Mr. White. Net assets = Total assets - Total liabilities Net assets = GH¢ 670,000 - GH¢ 320,000 Net assets = GH¢ 350,000 The purchase price of GH¢ 410,000 minus the net assets of GH¢ 350,000 gives the goodwill purchased: Goodwill = Purchase price - Net assets Goodwill = GH¢ 410,000 - GH¢ 350,000 Goodwill = GH¢ 60,000 Therefore, the amount paid for goodwill is GH¢ 60,000.

Detalles de la respuesta
In preparing a profit and loss account, a decrease in provision for doubtful debts is treated as income.

This decrease represents an increase in the amount of money that the business expects to collect from its customers, and therefore, is treated as income in the profit and loss account.

Detalles de la respuesta
The process of using sales ledger balance to cancel off purchases ledger balance is called set off. Set off is a process where the outstanding balance of two parties is offset against each other. In accounting, set off is commonly used to cancel out the balance in the sales ledger with the balance in the purchases ledger. This is done to simplify the settlement process between two parties and reduce the amount of money that needs to be exchanged. For example, if a customer owes a business money for goods purchased on credit and the same customer has also supplied goods to the business on credit, the two balances can be set off against each other, resulting in a reduced amount owed by one party to the other.

Detalles de la respuesta
The accounting ledger for goods sold on credit are debit to the debtors account and credit to the sales account. When goods are sold on credit, it means the payment will be received in the future.

This helps in maintaining accurate records of the amount of goods sold on credit and the amount that is outstanding, which helps in managing the business's cash flow and collecting the payments on time.

Assets acquired is recorded by debiting _______?
Detalles de la respuesta
Assets acquired are recorded by debiting Asset Account and crediting Cash Account. This means that the Asset Account will increase while the Cash Account will decrease. When a company acquires an asset, it uses cash or a similar form of payment to make the purchase. Therefore, the Cash Account is credited because there is a decrease in cash, while the Asset Account is debited because there is an increase in assets. This helps to maintain the accounting equation, which states that assets must always equal liabilities plus equity. By debiting the Asset Account and crediting the Cash Account, the transaction is properly recorded in the company's books.
