In which of the following is purchase of fixed assets on credit first recorders?

Antwoorddetails

Purchase of fixed assets on credit is a transaction that involves the purchase of a long-term asset using credit from a supplier. This transaction is recorded in the journal proper as it is a non-routine transaction and does not fit into the other specialized journals such as the purchases journal, sales journal, or cash book. The journal proper is a general journal used to record any transactions that do not fit into the specialized journals. It is used for non-routine transactions such as the purchase of fixed assets on credit, adjusting entries, and closing entries. These transactions are recorded in the journal proper and then posted to the relevant accounts in the general ledger. The purchases journal is used to record purchases of inventory or stock on credit, while the cash book is used to record cash transactions. Fixed assets are not considered inventory or stock, and their purchase on credit is not a cash transaction. Therefore, the purchase of fixed assets on credit is not recorded in the purchases journal or cash book. Finally, the general ledger is a record of all the accounts used by a business, including assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses. Transactions recorded in the journal proper are posted to the relevant accounts in the general ledger, including the account for fixed assets. Therefore, the correct answer is B, the journal proper, as the purchase of fixed assets on credit is first recorded in this general journal.

An unfavourable balance of trade for a country means that her?

Antwoorddetails

An unfavorable balance of trade for a country means that its imports exceed its exports. Imports are goods and services that a country buys from other countries, while exports are goods and services that a country sells to other countries. When a country's imports exceed its exports, it means that it is spending more money on buying goods and services from other countries than it is earning from selling its own goods and services to other countries. This can lead to a number of economic problems, such as a decrease in the country's foreign exchange reserves, a decrease in the value of its currency, and a decrease in the country's overall economic growth. Therefore, countries try to maintain a favorable balance of trade, where their exports exceed their imports, to ensure the health and stability of their economy.

Which of the following transactions is posted to the nominal ledger?

Antwoorddetails

The nominal ledger is used to record transactions related to revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. Therefore, the transaction that is posted to the nominal ledger is "discounts allowed to customers," as it is an expense account representing a reduction in the selling price of goods or services. The other transactions mentioned - cash paid by a customer, purchase of fixed asset for cash, and cash paid to suppliers - are all posted to other ledger accounts, such as the cash book, fixed asset register, and accounts payable ledger, respectively.

What was the gross profit?

Antwoorddetails

To calculate the gross profit, we need to subtract the cost of goods sold from the total sales revenue. The cost of goods sold is calculated as follows: Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock Cost of goods sold = 40,000 + 130,000 - 32,000 = 138,000 Now, we can calculate the gross profit as follows: Gross profit = Total sales - Cost of goods sold Gross profit = 180,000 - 138,000 = 42,000 Therefore, the gross profit is ₦42,000. In summary, gross profit is the profit made by a business after deducting the cost of goods sold from the total sales revenue. It is an important metric in evaluating a business's profitability and financial health.

Antwoorddetails

To determine the amount paid to creditors, we need to use the following formula: Amount paid to creditors = Credit purchases - Discount received + Opening creditors - Closing creditors We are given that the opening creditors were N65,000, the closing creditors were N41,000, the credit purchases were N200,000, and the discount received was N3,000. Substituting these values in the formula, we get: Amount paid to creditors = N200,000 - N3,000 + N65,000 - N41,000 Amount paid to creditors = N221,000 Therefore, the amount paid to creditors was N221,000. Answer: ₦221,000

A fixed asset was bought for N60,000 on 1st January, 1997. Depreciation was provided at 10% on cost. It was bought for N16,000 on 30th June, 2001.The profit or loss on sale was

Antwoorddetails

To find the profit or loss on sale of the asset, we need to first calculate the book value of the asset on the date of sale, which is the amount at which the asset is recorded on the company's balance sheet after accounting for depreciation. The asset was bought for N60,000 on 1st January, 1997, and depreciation was provided at 10% on cost. This means that each year, the asset would lose 10% of its original cost of N60,000, or N6,000. By 30th June, 2001, the asset would have been in use for 4.5 years (from January 1st, 1997 to June 30th, 2001). Therefore, the accumulated depreciation on the asset would be: Accumulated Depreciation = Depreciation per year x Number of years = N6,000 x 4.5 = N27,000 The book value of the asset on June 30th, 2001 would be the original cost of N60,000 minus the accumulated depreciation of N27,000, which is: Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = N60,000 - N27,000 = N33,000 However, the asset was sold for N16,000, which is less than its book value of N33,000. This means that there is a loss on the sale of the asset. To calculate the loss, we subtract the selling price of N16,000 from the book value of N33,000, which is: Loss = Book Value - Selling Price = N33,000 - N16,000 = N17,000 Therefore, the answer is: ₦17,000 loss.

It can also be used to record transactions related to fixed assets, such as depreciation and disposal of fixed assets. Additionally, it can be used to record non-routine transactions, such as loans or investments. In summary, the general journal is a versatile journal that can be used to record a wide variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in other specialized journals.

Rent owing by a business is shown in the

Antwoorddetails

Rent owing by a business is a liability, as it represents an amount that the business owes to its landlord or property owner. This liability is shown in the balance sheet, which is a financial statement that shows the assets, liabilities, and equity of a business at a specific point in time. The balance sheet is divided into two main sections: the assets section and the liabilities and equity section. The rent owing by a business is shown in the liabilities section of the balance sheet, under the category of current liabilities, which includes all liabilities that are due within a year or less. The trading account is a statement that shows the gross profit or loss of a business for a specific period, and it does not include any information about liabilities. The trial balance is a list of all the accounts in the general ledger and their respective balances, used to ensure that the debits and credits in the accounting system are equal. The cash book is a record of all cash transactions made by a business and does not include any information about liabilities. Therefore, the correct answer is C, the balance sheet, as rent owing by a business is shown as a liability in this financial statement.

Antwoorddetails

A control account is a type of self-balancing ledger system used to keep track of the total balance of a group of related accounts. In accounting, businesses often have multiple accounts that are related to each other. For example, a business may have several accounts receivable accounts for different customers. Instead of keeping track of each individual account separately, the business can use a control account to keep track of the total balance of all the accounts. The control account acts as a summary account for all the related accounts. It records the total balance of all the related accounts and is updated whenever a transaction is made in any of the related accounts. By using a control account, businesses can easily monitor the overall balance of their related accounts and quickly identify any discrepancies or errors. For example, a business may have several accounts receivable accounts for different customers. Instead of tracking each individual account separately, the business can use a control account called "Accounts Receivable Control" to track the total balance of all the accounts receivable accounts. This account will be credited when a sale is made and debited when a customer makes a payment. In summary, a control account is a self-balancing ledger system used to keep track of the total balance of a group of related accounts. It acts as a summary account for all the related accounts and is updated whenever a transaction is made in any of the related accounts.

Antwoorddetails

The accounting concept that supports the application of double entry book-keeping is the dual aspect concept. This concept states that every transaction has two aspects - a debit and a credit - which must be recorded in equal amounts. This ensures that the accounting equation (assets = liabilities + equity) is always in balance. In other words, every transaction has an equal and opposite effect on the accounting equation, which helps to maintain the integrity of the financial statements. The dual aspect concept is also known as the duality principle or the double entry system, and it forms the foundation of modern accounting practice.

The amount available as dividend to ordinary shareholders is

Antwoorddetails

To determine the amount available as dividend to ordinary shareholders, we need to calculate the amount of profit available for distribution to shareholders, and then deduct the preference dividend. The amount of profit available for distribution to shareholders is the net profit for the year minus the preference dividend. The preference dividend is 10% of the preference share capital, which is N100,000, so the preference dividend is N10,000. Net profit for the year = N75,000 Preference dividend = N10,000 Amount of profit available for distribution to ordinary shareholders = N75,000 - N10,000 = N65,000 The amount available as dividend to ordinary shareholders is N65,000. This is because the net profit for the year is N75,000, but N10,000 is deducted as preference dividend. The remaining N65,000 is available to be distributed to ordinary shareholders.

Antwoorddetails

The account of Yao, a debtor, would be found in the Sales Ledger. The Sales Ledger is a subsidiary ledger in accounting that contains the individual accounts of a company's customers who owe money for the products or services that they have purchased on credit. Since Yao is a debtor, it means that he owes money to the company, which makes him a customer who purchased goods or services on credit. Therefore, his account would be recorded in the Sales Ledger. In contrast, the Purchases Ledger is a subsidiary ledger that contains the individual accounts of a company's suppliers who are owed money for the products or services that they have supplied on credit. The General Ledger is the primary ledger that contains all the financial accounts of a company, and the Nominal Ledger is another name for the General Ledger.

Which of the following is the basis for apportioning rent among departments?

Antwoorddetails

The basis for apportioning rent among departments is typically the floor area occupied by each department. This is because rent is typically charged based on the amount of space a department occupies. Floor area is a fair and objective basis for apportioning rent, as each department can be assigned a specific space or area. The rent can then be apportioned based on the proportion of the total floor area occupied by each department. While other factors such as sales, number of employees, and direct labor cost could be used for apportioning other overhead costs, they are not appropriate for apportioning rent because they do not relate directly to the use of space. Therefore, floor area is the most appropriate basis for apportioning rent among departments.

Preference dividend for the year is

Antwoorddetails

Preference shares are a type of shares in a company that pay a fixed dividend each year. The dividend rate for preference shares is usually expressed as a percentage of the face value of the share. In this case, the company has 10% preference shares with a face value of 50 kobo each and a total value of N100,000. Therefore, the total amount of preference dividends to be paid for the year is: N100,000 x 10% = N10,000 Hence, the correct answer is C, N10,000, which is the preference dividend for the year. Note that preference dividends must be paid before any dividends can be paid to ordinary shareholders. In this case, the net profit for the year is N75,000, but the preference dividend payment of N10,000 must be made first, leaving N65,000 available for distribution as dividends to the ordinary shareholders.

Antwoorddetails

The cost of raw materials consumed is the amount of money spent on the raw materials used to produce goods during a particular accounting period. This cost is recorded in the Manufacturing Account, which is used to calculate the total cost of goods manufactured. To calculate the cost of raw materials consumed, we need to know the following: - The opening inventory of raw materials (i.e., the value of raw materials on hand at the beginning of the period) - The purchases of raw materials made during the period - The closing inventory of raw materials (i.e., the value of raw materials on hand at the end of the period) The cost of raw materials consumed is calculated as follows: Opening inventory of raw materials + Purchases of raw materials during the period - Closing inventory of raw materials = Cost of raw materials consumed Therefore, the correct answer is A, opening stock plus purchases less closing stock.

To calculate the divisible profit for the year, we need to first determine the profit available for appropriation. We start with the net profit for the year, which is N30,000. Next, we need to adjust for the interest on capital and interest on drawings. The interest on capital is calculated as a percentage of the capital accounts, and is subtracted from the net profit for the year. In this case, the interest on capital is 5% of (N40,000 + N20,000) = N3,000, which is subtracted from the net profit for the year, leaving us with N27,000. The interest on drawings is calculated as a percentage of the drawings accounts, and is added back to the net profit for the year. In this case, the interest on drawings is 10% of (N10,000 + N6,000) = N1,600, which is added back to the net profit for the year, giving us a profit available for appropriation of N28,600. Finally, we need to divide the profit available for appropriation between the partners in the profit sharing ratio. The profit sharing ratio is Ojo: Aina = 2:1, so Ojo's share is 2/3 of the profit available for appropriation, and Aina's share is 1/3 of the profit available for appropriation. Therefore, Ojo's share is (2/3) x N28,600 = N19,066.67 and Aina's share is (1/3) x N28,600 = N9,533.33. The divisible profit for the year is the sum of the partners' shares, which is N19,066.67 + N9,533.33 = N28,600. Therefore, the correct answer is ₦28,600.
