Accounts can be classified into
Answer Details
Accounts can be classified into two main categories: personal accounts and impersonal accounts. 1. Personal accounts: These accounts are used to record transactions related to individuals, firms, or companies. Personal accounts can be further classified into two types: - Natural personal accounts: These accounts are related to individuals, such as customers, suppliers, employees, and owners. - Artificial personal accounts: These accounts are related to firms or companies, such as banks, insurance companies, and government organizations. 2. Impersonal accounts: These accounts are used to record transactions that do not involve any individual or firm. Impersonal accounts can be further classified into three types: - Real accounts: These accounts are related to assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, as well as liabilities and capital. - Nominal accounts: These accounts are related to expenses, revenues, gains, and losses. - Representative personal accounts: These accounts are used to record transactions related to a group or category of individuals, such as sales, purchases, and returns. Therefore, the correct option among the given choices is "personal and impersonal account."
Question 3 Report
Show how the following transaction will be recorded applying the double entry principle:
Rent ₦50,000 was paid by Mr. Roi to his landlord on 1st July, 20 × 7 by cheque.
Answer Details
The correct entry for the transaction where Mr. Roi pays rent of ₦50,000 to his landlord on July 1st, 20x7 by cheque, using the double entry principle would be: - Dr Rent A/c; Cr Bank A/c The transaction has two effects: it decreases Mr. Roi's cash (Bank A/c) balance by ₦50,000 and increases the landlord's Rent A/c balance by the same amount. Applying the double entry principle, we need to record both of these effects in the accounts. Therefore, we will debit Rent A/c with ₦50,000 as it is an expense and credit Bank A/c with the same amount as it is a decrease in cash. This will ensure that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. In summary, when Mr. Roi pays rent by cheque, we record a debit of ₦50,000 to Rent A/c and a credit of ₦50,000 to Bank A/c to maintain the balance of the accounting equation.

The Unissued capital of the company is
Answer Details
The authorized share capital of Industry Ltd is ₦200,000, which means the maximum amount of money the company can raise from issuing shares is ₦200,000. The company issued 100,000 shares at ₦1 each, so it raised ₦100,000. This means that ₦100,000 of the authorized share capital has been issued. All shareholders paid in full except for two shareholders who owe a total of ₦20,000. This means that the company received a total of ₦80,000 in payment for the issued shares. The unissued capital of the company is the portion of the authorized share capital that has not been issued yet. Since the authorized share capital is ₦200,000, and ₦100,000 has been issued, the unissued capital is ₦100,000. Therefore, the answer is (2) ₦200,000 is the authorized share capital, and ₦100,000 is the unissued capital.

Answer Details
Double entry accounting is a method of recording financial transactions in which every transaction is recorded in two accounts: one account is debited and another is credited. This means that for every debit entry (money going out of an account), there must be a corresponding credit entry (money coming into an account), and vice versa. The purpose of double entry accounting is to ensure accuracy and provide a clear and complete record of all financial transactions. This helps to prevent errors and fraud, and allows for easy reconciliation and tracking of financial information.

Goods were purchased for resale on credit costing ₦150,000 on 30th September 20X8 from Tosanwumi International. The entry to record these transaction is debit
Answer Details
The entry to record the purchase of goods for resale on credit costing ₦150,000 from Tosanwumi International on 30th September 20X8 is: Debit: Purchase Account ₦150,000 Credit: Tosanwumi International Account ₦150,000 This means that the Purchase Account is debited with the value of the goods purchased on credit, while the Tosanwumi International Account is credited for the same amount, representing the amount owed to the supplier. The Purchase Account is a nominal account that is used to record the cost of goods purchased for resale or for use in the business. The Tosanwumi International Account is a personal account, specifically a creditor account, used to record the amount owed to Tosanwumi International for the goods purchased on credit. This entry follows the double-entry bookkeeping system, which requires that every transaction has equal debits and credits. The debit entry represents the increase in expenses, while the credit entry represents the increase in liabilities, specifically accounts payable to the supplier.
Question 8 Report

Answer Details
In the preparation of accounting records, the owners of the business and the business concerned are treated as separate legal entities. This means that the business is treated as a distinct entity from its owners, and is recognized as having its own financial position, income, and expenses. This is because the business is a separate legal entity, meaning it has its own legal status and is capable of entering into contracts and owning property. For example, if a business takes out a loan, the debt belongs to the business and not to the individual owners. Similarly, if the business makes a profit, the profit belongs to the business and not directly to the owners. Separating the business from its owners in this way allows for a clear and accurate picture of the financial performance of the business, and enables the owners to assess the success of the business as a whole. It also ensures that the business is held responsible for its financial obligations and liabilities, rather than the individual owners.

The officer that is charged with the responsibility of carrying out investigations on the book of accounts to show the true and fair view is the Auditor General. The Auditor General is an independent officer responsible for auditing and reporting on the financial statements of government entities and other organizations to ensure that their financial records are accurate and comply with relevant laws and regulations. Their main task is to review the financial records of an organization and provide an opinion on whether the financial statements represent a true and fair view of the organization's financial position, performance, and cash flows. This helps to enhance transparency, accountability, and good governance in public and private organizations.
Question 12 Report
An ordinary share of ₦100 was issued at ₦80. The share was issued at
Answer Details
An ordinary share of ₦100 was issued at ₦80, which means it was issued at a discount. A share is said to be issued at a discount when its issue price is lower than its par or face value. In this case, the par value of the share is ₦100, but it was issued at ₦80, which is lower than its face value. Therefore, the difference between the issue price and the par value (₦100 - ₦80 = ₦20) is the discount. On the other hand, if a share is issued at a price higher than its par value, it is said to be issued at a premium. When a share is issued at its face value, it is said to be issued at par. Lastly, a loss is incurred when the selling price of an asset is lower than its purchase price. However, that is not the case in this scenario as there is no information on any selling of the share.

Answer Details
Depreciation is the fall or decrease in the economic service potential of an asset as a result of wear, tear and obsolescence. Think of an asset as something you own, like a car, a computer, or a building. Over time, these assets lose value because they get older, wear out, or become outdated. This loss of value is called depreciation. It's an estimate of how much an asset has lost in value over a certain period of time. In simple terms, depreciation is like getting older - the more time goes by, the less useful you become. The same thing happens to assets. The longer they're in use, the less valuable they become, and that decrease in value is called depreciation.
Question 15 Report
A sent B a cheque for ₦2000 to provide him with friends. They agreed to share profits in ratio 3 : 2 and settlement is by cheque.
| Sales Advert Wages Purchases |
A ₦ 3200 327 85 1600 |
B ₦ 2100 463 70 1100 |
The profit and loss in joint venture with B account in the ledger of A.
Answer Details
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total profit and then divide it between A and B in the agreed ratio of 3:2. To calculate the total profit, we need to find the difference between the total revenue and the total expenses: Total revenue = Sales + Advert + Wages = ₦3200 + ₦3278 + ₦516 = ₦6994 Total expenses = Purchases = ₦2600 Total profit = Total revenue - Total expenses = ₦6994 - ₦2600 = ₦4394 Now, to divide the profit between A and B in the agreed ratio of 3:2, we need to use the following formula: A's share = (3 / 5) x Total profit B's share = (2 / 5) x Total profit Substituting the values, we get: A's share = (3 / 5) x ₦4394 = ₦2636.40 B's share = (2 / 5) x ₦4394 = ₦1758.60 Therefore, the profit that A will receive is ₦2636.40, and the profit that B will receive is ₦1758.60. Now, let's calculate the settlement amount by adding the profit to the original amount A paid to B: Settlement amount for B = Original amount paid by A + B's share of profit Settlement amount for B = ₦2000 + ₦1758.60 = ₦3758.60 Therefore, the answer is option (C) ₦993.

Answer Details
In a non-profit making organization, the excess of assets over liabilities equals accumulated funds. Accumulated funds, also known as "net assets" or "fund balance", represent the total amount of funds that the organization has accumulated over time from its operations, donations, and other sources, minus any liabilities that it owes. When an organization has more assets than liabilities, it means that it has accumulated more resources than it has used or spent over time, resulting in a positive balance of accumulated funds. This balance can be used by the organization to fund future projects and initiatives or to build up its reserves. It is important to note that in a non-profit organization, accumulated funds are not owned by any individual or group, but rather are dedicated to the organization's mission and objectives. They are held in trust for the benefit of the organization and the people it serves.

What was the gross profit?
Answer Details
To calculate the gross profit, we need to subtract the cost of goods sold (COGS) from the total revenue (sales). COGS represents the cost of the products that were sold during the period, and it is calculated as: COGS = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock In this case, the values are: COGS = ₦20,000 + ₦70,000 - ₦15,000 = ₦75,000 Total revenue (sales) is given as ₦100,000. Therefore, the gross profit can be calculated as: Gross profit = Total revenue - COGS = ₦100,000 - ₦75,000 = ₦25,000 Hence, the answer is option (D) ₦25,000.
Question 22 Report
The purpose of profit and loss account is to ascertain
Answer Details
The purpose of a profit and loss (P&L) account is to show the financial performance of a business over a specific period of time, usually a month or a year. It helps to determine the net profit or loss of a company by showing the total revenue earned and the total expenses incurred during the period. The P&L account starts with the gross profit, which is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold (COGS) from the total revenue. Gross profit shows the amount of money the company made from its sales before any other expenses are taken into account. Next, the P&L account lists all the expenses incurred by the company during the period, such as wages, rent, utilities, advertising, and other operating costs. These expenses are subtracted from the gross profit to arrive at the net profit or net loss. The net profit or loss is the final result of the P&L account and shows whether the company made a profit or suffered a loss during the period. If the net profit is positive, it means the company had more revenue than expenses and made a profit. If the net profit is negative, it means the company had more expenses than revenue and suffered a loss. In conclusion, the purpose of a P&L account is to determine the net profit or loss of a company by showing the total revenue earned, the total expenses incurred, and the difference between the two.

Question 28 Report
Discount received is apportioned to each department on the basis of
Answer Details
Discount received is usually apportioned to each department on the basis of their purchases. The reason for this is that the discount is typically given by the supplier as a percentage of the total value of goods purchased. Therefore, the more a department purchases from the supplier, the more discount they receive. For example, if a department purchases $10,000 worth of goods and the supplier offers a 5% discount, the department would receive a discount of $500. If another department purchases $5,000 worth of goods from the same supplier, they would only receive a discount of $250. By apportioning the discount on the basis of purchases, each department receives a fair share of the discount based on their contribution to the total purchases from the supplier. This helps to ensure that the discount is allocated in a way that reflects the actual purchasing activity of each department.

Answer Details
Retained profits are an example of revenue reserves. Revenue reserves are profits earned by a company that are not distributed as dividends to its shareholders but are kept in the business as a form of retained earnings. Retained profits are a portion of the company's profits that are not paid out as dividends but are instead reinvested in the company to support its growth, pay off debts or improve its operations. These retained profits can be accumulated over time, allowing a company to build up its reserves and strengthen its financial position. This can be particularly useful during times of economic uncertainty or market downturns, as the company will have more financial flexibility and resources to weather the storm. Therefore, retained profits are a crucial component of a company's overall financial health, and they are an example of revenue reserves.

Answer Details
The statement in a double entry system that records all the transactions of one specific class during a period is called a ledger. A ledger is a book or a collection of accounts in which a business records its financial transactions. It contains all the financial information related to a specific account, such as sales, purchases, expenses, and revenues. In a double entry system, every transaction affects at least two accounts, one being debited and the other credited. These debits and credits are recorded in the ledger in separate columns, which allows for the calculation of the account balance at any given time. For example, a business might have a ledger for its sales transactions, in which all the sales made during a particular period are recorded. Each sale is recorded in the ledger as a debit to the customer's account and a credit to the sales account. At the end of the period, the balance in the sales account represents the total amount of sales made during that period. Overall, the ledger is an important tool in accounting as it provides a detailed record of all financial transactions, allowing businesses to monitor their financial performance and make informed decisions.

In the preparation of a statement of profit, the opening capital is the amount of money a business had at the beginning of a given period, and the closing capital is the amount of money a business has at the end of that same period. If the opening capital is greater than the closing capital, it means that the business has used more money than it has received during the period, leading to a decrease in its overall capital. This decrease in capital is referred to as a "loss." Therefore, if the opening capital is greater than the closing capital, it indicates that the business has suffered a loss during the period.

What is the Gross Profit on percentage of sale?
Answer Details
To calculate the Gross Profit on percentage of sale, we need to use the following formula: Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross Profit / Sales) x 100 First, we need to calculate the Gross Profit, which is the difference between the Sales and Cost of Goods Sold: Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit = 233,000 - 170,000 Gross Profit = 63,000 Next, we can calculate the Gross Profit Percentage using the formula above: Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross Profit / Sales) x 100 Gross Profit Percentage = (63,000 / 233,000) x 100 Gross Profit Percentage = 0.2701 x 100 Gross Profit Percentage = 27.01% Therefore, the Gross Profit on percentage of sale is 27.01%, which means that for every ₦1 of sales, Wazobi Ventures earns a Gross Profit of ₦0.27. The closest option to this answer is 27.0%.

Which of the following cannot depreciate?
Answer Details
Land is the item that cannot depreciate. Depreciation is the reduction in the value of a fixed asset due to wear and tear, obsolescence or other factors. It is a non-cash expense that is charged against the income of a company over the useful life of the asset. However, land is a fixed asset that has an unlimited useful life, and its value does not diminish over time. Therefore, it cannot be depreciated. On the other hand, plant and machinery, motor vans, and premises are all fixed assets that have a limited useful life, and their values decrease over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence or other factors. As a result, they can be depreciated. In summary, land is the item that cannot be depreciated, while plant and machinery, motor vans, and premises are all items that can be depreciated.

Answer Details
To calculate the value of goodwill, we need to first calculate the average profit for the past 4 years. We can do this by adding up the profits for each year and then dividing by 4: Average profit = (14,000 + 24,000 + 10,000 + 16,000) / 4 = 16,000 Next, we need to calculate 2 years' purchase of the average profit: 2 x 16,000 = 32,000 Therefore, the value of goodwill is ₦32,000. This is because the value of goodwill is determined by the number of years' purchase of the average profit. Among the options given, the correct answer is 32,000.
