Akọwa Nkọwa

Converting a partnership business into a limited liability company requires the formal ending of the partnership and the opening of new company books. This means that the partnership agreement is terminated, and the assets and liabilities of the partnership are transferred to the new company. Since both partners become directors of the new company, they will be shareholders and the shares will be allotted to them in agreed proportions. However, it is important to note that the process of converting a partnership into a limited liability company may require the computation of goodwill in accordance with legal requirements.

Akọwa Nkọwa

The account that is kept by local governments in Nigeria is the Advances account. This account tracks any money given to the local government as an advance by the state or federal government. The local government is required to keep a record of all the advances it receives, including the date of receipt, the purpose of the advance, and the amount received. This account is important for financial planning and accountability purposes. The other options listed (balance sheet, debtors account, and profit account) are also important accounting concepts, but they are not specific to local governments in Nigeria.

Akọwa Nkọwa

Calls in advance are treated in the balance sheet as a current liability. This is because a call in advance represents an amount paid by a shareholder in excess of the amount due on their shares. The company has an obligation to repay this amount to the shareholder, and since it is expected to be repaid within one year, it is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet.

there should be a balance in the creditors' account in order to measure total assets

revenues should be supported by invested and owners'capital

total assets can be less than liabilities and equity

Akọwa Nkọwa

A basic unifying concept in accounting is the equation Assets = Liabilities + Equity, which means that a company's assets should always equal the sum of its liabilities and equity. This concept is also known as the accounting equation. This equation is the foundation for all accounting transactions and financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Therefore, the correct option is that the basic unifying concept in accounting implies that where creditors' account is zero, the assets are equal to the owners' equity.

Akọwa Nkọwa

When a partner makes a drawing of stock items from a partnership, the accounting impact of the drawing is to increase the partner's current account debit balance. This is because drawings are considered as withdrawals made by the partner for their personal use and thus reduce the amount of capital that the partner has in the business. The current account is used to track each partner's share of the profits or losses of the partnership, as well as their drawings and other transactions. When a partner takes a drawing, it increases their debit balance in the current account because they owe more money to the partnership.

Among Limited invoiced goods at a cost of ₦10,000 to its Ikeja branch at a marginal of 20%. The branch later returned goods worth ₦1,200 at invoice price to the head office.

The profit marginal should be?

debit to goods sent to branch account

debit to branch stock adjustment account

credit to branch adjustment account

credit to branch stock adjustment account Azịza ziri ezi

Akọwa Nkọwa

The profit margin is the percentage of profit earned on a product or service after deducting the cost of producing or acquiring it. In this case, Among Limited invoiced goods at a cost of ₦10,000 to its Ikeja branch at a marginal of 20%. The cost of goods sold to the branch is ₦10,000 and the profit margin is 20%, which means the selling price is 120% of the cost price, which is ₦12,000 (₦10,000 + 20% of ₦10,000). Later, the branch returned goods worth ₦1,200 at invoice price to the head office. This means that the cost of goods returned is ₦1,000 (₦1,200 / 120%). To adjust the branch's inventory and profit, the branch stock adjustment account should be credited for ₦1,000, which reduces the cost of goods sold by that amount, and reduces the profit margin from 20% to a lower amount. Therefore, the answer is: credit to branch stock adjustment account.

Chibuike bought 36 notebooks at ₦10 each which gives a total of 36 x 10 = ₦360. He was offered a trade discount of 5%, so the net amount he is to pay is 95% of the total amount which is calculated as: (95/100) x ₦360 = ₦342 Chibuike was also offered a cash discount of 1%, which he took advantage of. The cash discount is calculated as 1% of the net amount which is: (1/100) x ₦342 = ₦3.42 Therefore, the final amount Chibuike paid is the net amount minus the cash discount, which is: ₦342 - ₦3.42 = ₦338.58 Therefore, Chibuike paid ₦338.58 for the 36 notebooks. The correct option is ₦338.58.

In a sole proprietorship, the owner and the business are considered as the same legal entity. When the business is purchased for cash, the buyer needs to record the transaction in his books of accounts. The buyer needs to debit his business purchase account with the amount paid as consideration for the purchase. This will increase the value of the assets of the buyer's business. The vendor, who is selling the business, will credit his business purchase account with the consideration he receives.

If a promoter pays a lawyer ₦5,000 for services rendered in preparing a Memorandum of Incorporation, the journal entry is to debit?

preliminary expenses, credit cash accounts Azịza ziri ezi

promoter, credit creditors' accounts

lawyer's credit cash accounts

cash , credit incorporation accounts

Akọwa Nkọwa

The journal entry for the transaction would be to debit "Preliminary expenses" account and credit "Cash" account. This is because the payment made to the lawyer for the services rendered in preparing a Memorandum of Incorporation is considered as a preliminary expense, which is an expense incurred before the incorporation of the company. As a result, it is necessary to record it separately in the books of account and amortize it over a period of time after the incorporation of the company. Therefore, the "Preliminary expenses" account is debited to record the expense, and "Cash" account is credited as the payment was made in cash.

To record the transfer of stock from one department to another, the correct entry would be to debit?

goods outwards and credit goods inwards

merchandise account and credit department stock account

department transfering and credit department receivving

department receiving and credit department transfering Azịza ziri ezi

Akọwa Nkọwa

The correct entry to record the transfer of stock from one department to another would be to debit the department receiving the goods and credit the department transferring the goods. This is because the department receiving the goods is increasing its inventory, and the department transferring the goods is decreasing its inventory. Therefore, the entry should reflect this movement of stock between the two departments. The other options do not correctly account for the transfer of stock between departments.
