Answer Details
The going-concern concept is the assumption that a business will continue to operate indefinitely and will not be liquidated or forced to cease operations in the near future. This concept recognizes that a business has perpetual existence, and thus, its assets are not valued based on their liquidation value but on their ability to generate revenue for the business over time. The going-concern concept is important in accounting because it allows businesses to prepare financial statements that reflect their long-term performance and helps investors make informed decisions about the future prospects of the business.

A debit entry in the cash account and a corresponding credit in Alieu's account indicate a receipt of cash from Alieu. This means that Alieu has paid cash to the business, and the business has recorded the transaction by debiting the cash account (an asset account) and crediting Alieu's account (a personal account). The debit in the cash account represents an increase in cash, while the credit in Alieu's account represents a decrease in his account balance since he has paid cash to the business.

Answer Details
The sum of money given to a petty cashier out of which small payments are made is known as a "float". It is an amount of money that is provided by a company or organization to the petty cashier to facilitate small, routine transactions. The petty cashier uses the float to make purchases, pay for small expenses, or provide change to customers. At the end of the day, the petty cashier is required to account for the expenses incurred using the float, and any unused funds are returned to the company or organization. The float helps to simplify and speed up small transactions and reduce the need for the petty cashier to access the company's main cash account for small expenses.

Cost of sales for the year was
Answer Details
To calculate the cost of sales, we need to use the formula: Cost of sales = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock Here, we are not given the total purchases, but we can calculate it using the information given about creditors and cash paid to creditors: Purchases = Creditors at the end + Cash paid to creditors - Creditors at the beginning Purchases = ₦1,140 + ₦6,900 - ₦1,274 = ₦6,766 Now, we can calculate the cost of sales: Cost of sales = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock Cost of sales = ₦1,800 + ₦6,766 - ₦1,350 = ₦7,216 Therefore, the cost of sales for the year was ₦7,216. The closest option to this answer is option C, which is ₦7,215.

Answer Details
The manufacturing account is prepared to determine the cost of production. This account is used in the manufacturing industry to calculate the cost of producing finished goods during a specific period. The manufacturing account includes direct materials used, direct labor costs, and factory overheads (such as rent, utilities, and depreciation). By totaling these costs, the manufacturing account shows the total cost of production during the accounting period, which can then be used to determine the cost of goods sold and the gross profit for that period. Therefore, the manufacturing account is an important tool for a manufacturer to monitor production costs and make informed decisions about pricing and inventory management.

Answer Details
When Adobaw extracted the trial balance and found that the total of debit balances exceeded the total of credit balances, there is likely an error or omission in the accounts. In this case, to ensure that the accounts still balance, the difference should be temporarily recorded in a suspense account until the error is identified and corrected. Therefore, the difference should be debited to a suspense account, which is a temporary account used to record such differences until they are resolved. Once the error is identified and corrected, the suspense account will be cleared by transferring the balance to the appropriate accounts.

Answer Details
The mark-up is the percentage difference between the selling price and the cost price of a product. To calculate the mark-up percentage, we use the formula: Mark-up percentage = (Selling price - Cost price) / Cost price x 100% In this case, the cost price of the book is Le 9,000 and the selling price is Le 12,000. So the mark-up percentage is: Mark-up percentage = (12,000 - 9,000) / 9,000 x 100% Mark-up percentage = 3,000 / 9,000 x 100% Mark-up percentage = 0.3333... x 100% Mark-up percentage = 33.33...% Therefore, the correct answer is 33\(\frac{1}{3}\)%. Option C, 33\(\frac{1}{2}\)%, is the closest option to the correct answer.

Quick ratio is
Answer Details
To calculate the quick ratio, we need to add up all the quick assets and divide it by the current liabilities. Quick assets refer to assets that can be easily converted into cash, such as cash, debtors, and stock. Current liabilities refer to liabilities that need to be paid off within a year, such as creditors. In this case, the quick assets are cash, debtor, and stock, which sum up to ₦22,000. The current liabilities are ₦20,000. Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities = ₦22,000 / ₦20,000 Simplifying, we get: Quick ratio = 1.1 : 1 Therefore, the answer is 1 : 1 (option d). This means that for every ₦1 of current liabilities, the company has ₦1 of quick assets to cover it.

Answer Details
A total debtors account is a type of account in the sales ledger that records the total amount owed to a company by its customers. The left-hand side of this account represents all the debits or increases in the amount owed by customers to the company. This includes sales made on credit to customers, as well as any adjustments made to those sales such as returns or allowances. Therefore, items on the left-hand side of a total debtors account are debits, and they represent the amounts owed by customers to the company.
Question 18 Report

Answer Details
Factory costs excluding prime cost is called overhead. Prime cost refers to the direct costs involved in producing a product, such as the cost of raw materials and labor. Factory costs, on the other hand, refer to the indirect costs of production, such as rent, utilities, and maintenance of equipment. When we subtract prime costs from total factory costs, we get overhead. Overhead is a significant expense for most manufacturing businesses, and it's important to track and manage it effectively to ensure profitability.
Question 19 Report

Answer Details
In the absence of a partnership agreement, profits and losses are shared equally among the partners. This is based on the assumption that all partners contribute equally to the partnership, regardless of their individual capital contributions or the amount of work they put in. However, if there is a partnership agreement in place, it may specify a different method for allocating profits and losses, such as in the ratio of capital contributions or based on the amount of work each partner contributes to the partnership.

Current ratio is
Answer Details
To find the current ratio, we need to divide the total current assets by the total current liabilities. Total current assets = Stock + Debtor + Cash = ₦2,000 + ₦10,000 + ₦10,000 = ₦22,000 Total current liabilities = Creditors = ₦20,000 Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities = ₦22,000 / ₦20,000 = 1.1 : 1 Therefore, the current ratio is 1 : 1. Note: The current ratio of 2:1 is generally considered a healthy ratio for a business. However, it varies based on industry standards and specific business requirements.

Closing stock is not shown in the trial balance. The trial balance is a statement that lists all the ledger accounts and their balances to check if the total of all debits equals the total of all credits. It is used to identify errors in accounting records. Closing stock is an asset, and it is not included in the trial balance because it is not an account that has been debited or credited during the accounting period. Instead, it is reported separately on the balance sheet under the current assets section. Therefore, the answer to the question is "closing stock."

Answer Details
The closing balance of ₦3,368 Dr represents the amount of money owed by customers to the business at the end of the accounting period. This amount is classified as a current asset in the balance sheet because it is an amount of money that the business expects to receive within the next accounting period, usually one year. A current asset is an asset that is expected to be used up or converted to cash within a year, and it includes items such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses. Therefore, the closing balance of ₦3,368 Dr would be classified as a current asset in the balance sheet.

Answer Details
The accounting principle which states that for every debit entry, there is a corresponding credit entry is known as the dual aspect concept. This concept forms the basis of double-entry bookkeeping, which is a system used in accounting to record financial transactions. According to this principle, every transaction has two effects - a debit effect and a credit effect - and the total debits must always equal the total credits. In other words, every debit must have a corresponding credit entry, and vice versa. This helps to ensure that the accounting records are accurate and balanced.
