Question 1 Report
A balance sheet shows only
Answer Details
A balance sheet shows the financial position of a company at a particular point in time. It lists all the assets owned by the company (both fixed and current) and all the liabilities owed by the company (both short-term and long-term). The difference between the total assets and the total liabilities is the company's equity, which represents the amount of money that would be left over if all the company's debts were paid off. Therefore, a balance sheet shows both the assets and liabilities of a company.
Question 2 Report

Answer Details
Trade discounts are discounts given by suppliers to their customers for purchasing goods or services in bulk quantities. These discounts are usually based on the quantity of goods or services purchased and are intended to encourage large orders. In other words, trade discounts are given to customers who buy large quantities of products or services. It is an incentive given to encourage bulk purchases and help companies to reduce their inventory carrying costs.

Question 4 Report
The excess of value of assets over the purchase consideration on acquisition of a business is credited to
Answer Details
When a business is acquired, the value of its assets and liabilities are assessed. The purchase consideration, which is the amount paid to acquire the business, is compared with the total value of assets and liabilities. If the value of the assets is greater than the purchase consideration, the difference is considered as goodwill. Goodwill is an intangible asset that represents the value of the business beyond its physical assets. Since goodwill is an asset, the excess value of assets over the purchase consideration is credited to the goodwill account. Therefore, the correct answer is goodwill account.
Question 5 Report
Which of the following is a book of ordinary entry?
Answer Details
A book of ordinary entry is a book in which all the day-to-day financial transactions of a business are initially recorded before they are posted to the appropriate accounts in the ledger. Out of the options given, the only book of ordinary entry is the sales journal, which is used to record all sales made on credit. Therefore, the sales journal is the correct answer. The ledger is not a book of ordinary entry, but rather a book where all the accounts of a business are maintained. The balance sheet is a financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time. The bank statement is a record of all transactions that have occurred in a bank account over a particular period.
Question 6 Report
Which of the following is not an input device?
Answer Details
"Line partnership" is not an input device. Input devices are used to input data or commands into a computer system for processing. A "card reader" is a device that reads data from a magnetic stripe or barcode on a card, while a "paper top reader" is a device that reads data from a sheet of paper. An "alpha-numeric keyboard" is a device that allows a user to input text and numbers using a keyboard. However, "line partnership" is not an input device; it is not a device at all, but rather a business term referring to a type of partnership.
Question 7 Report
A loss made on the disposal of a fixed assets is debited to
Answer Details
A loss made on the disposal of a fixed asset means that the amount received from the sale of the asset is less than its book value (i.e., the amount at which the asset was recorded on the company's books). When such a loss is incurred, it is debited to the profit and loss account. This account is used to record all revenue and expenses, including gains and losses from the sale of assets, in order to calculate the net income or net loss for the company during a specific period of time. Therefore, the correct answer is "profit and loss account."
Question 8 Report
Which of the following is not part of the central processing unit of a computer?
Answer Details
The central processing unit (CPU) is the "brain" of a computer, responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations. It is made up of several components, including the arithmetic and logical unit (ALU), memory unit, input unit, and control unit. The input unit is responsible for receiving data and instructions from external sources, such as a keyboard or mouse. The memory unit stores data and instructions temporarily for processing, and the ALU performs arithmetic and logical operations on that data. The control unit directs the flow of data and instructions through the CPU. Therefore, the option that is not part of the CPU is the input unit since it is responsible for receiving data from external sources and not part of the internal components of the CPU.

Answer Details
An underwriter for a company's share is paid a commission. When a company issues shares to the public, it often hires an underwriter to purchase all or a portion of those shares. The underwriter then resells the shares to the public for a higher price to earn a profit. In exchange for this service, the underwriter is paid a commission, which is a percentage of the total value of the shares they purchase.

Answer Details
To calculate the recurrent expenditure, we need to add up all the expenses that occur repeatedly or regularly, such as salaries, wages, and purchase of drugs. From the table, we can see that the total amount spent on salaries and wages and the purchase of drugs is Le 80,000 + Le 55,000 = Le 135,000. Therefore, the answer is Le 135,000.

Answer Details

Question 21 Report

Answer Details
Partners whose liabilities are restricted to their financial contribution to the partnership in the event of winding up are called limited partners. This means that in case the partnership runs into debts or losses that exceed the amount of their investment, they will not be personally liable for the additional amount owed. Limited partnership is a type of partnership that has both limited and general partners. The limited partners are the ones whose liabilities are restricted while the general partners have unlimited liability. This arrangement is commonly used in businesses where investors provide capital but do not want to be involved in the day-to-day management of the business.

The concept that establishes the rule for the periodic recognition of revenue as soon as it is capable of objective measurement is "realization." This concept guides accountants on when to recognize revenue in financial statements. According to the realization concept, revenue should be recognized when it is earned, and it can be measured objectively. In simpler terms, it means that revenue should be recorded in the financial statements as soon as the seller has completed the delivery of goods or services to the buyer, and the buyer has an obligation to pay for them.

Answer Details
The trading account is a statement that shows the gross profit or gross loss of a business over a particular period. It takes into account the direct expenses and direct incomes of the business.

On the other hand, discount allowed, discount received, and carriage outwards are not direct expenses or incomes of the business, and therefore, they are not considered trading account items. Discount allowed and discount received are usually recorded in the profit and loss account, while carriage outwards is a part of the statement of profit or loss.

The amount of working capital is
Answer Details
Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Current assets are assets that can be converted to cash within one year, while current liabilities are liabilities that are due to be paid within one year. From the given balance sheet, the current assets are: stock (₦3,000), debtors (₦4,000), cash at bank (₦6,500), and cash in hand (₦1,500), which adds up to ₦15,000. The current liabilities are: creditors (₦8,000) and accrued expenses (₦4,000), which adds up to ₦12,000. Therefore, the working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, which is ₦15,000 - ₦12,000 = ₦3,000. Hence, the answer is ₦3,000.

Therefore, the correct option is "object of the business."
Question 45 Report
Which of the following is not an item in the profit and loss account?
Answer Details
The profit and loss account is a financial statement that shows the revenues and expenses of a company over a period of time. It helps to determine the profitability of the business. Drawings, salaries, and bad debts are items that appear in the profit and loss account because they are expenses incurred in the course of generating revenue. Interest, on the other hand, is not an item in the profit and loss account because it represents the cost of borrowing money, which is a financing activity and not a revenue-generating activity. Therefore, the answer to the question is "interest".
