The opening cash balance can be found by looking at the Receipts and Payments Account. The "Bal b/f" column represents the balance brought forward from the previous period, which is the opening cash balance. In this case, the opening cash balance is ₦3,650, which is the first entry under "Bal b/f" in the Receipts and Payments Account. Therefore, the correct option is (3) ₦3,650.
Question 5 Report
The cost of a machine is ₦10,000. The residual value is ₦4,000. It is expected to last for 4 years. Using the straight line method, what is the amount of depreciation charged per annum?
Answer Details
The straight line method of depreciation is a simple way of calculating the amount of depreciation to be charged each year for an asset. To use this method, we subtract the residual value (the value of the asset after it has been fully depreciated) from the original cost of the asset, and then divide this by the number of years the asset is expected to last. So, for the machine in this question: - Original cost: ₦10,000 - Residual value: ₦4,000 - Years expected to last: 4 The amount of depreciation to be charged per year would be: ₦10,000 - ₦4,000 = ₦6,000 ₦6,000 ÷ 4 years = ₦1,500 So, the amount of depreciation charged per annum is ₦1,500.
Question 6 Report

Answer Details
The method of stock valuation in which the issue price is obtained by dividing the value of stock in hand by unit of stock in hand is called Weighted Average Price (WAP). WAP is a method of determining the average cost of a stock that a company holds in its inventory. It takes into account the cost of each unit of stock and the number of units held. The total cost of the stock is then divided by the total number of units to determine the average cost per unit. This average cost per unit is then used as the value of the stock for accounting purposes. The WAP method is useful for companies that purchase stocks at different times and different prices, as it provides a more accurate reflection of the value of the stock. It is also useful for companies that sell stock frequently, as it provides a more accurate reflection of the cost of the stock and helps to ensure that the company is not overcharging or undercharging for the stock.

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.
Question 9 Report
Which of these will not appear in the preparation of control account.
I. Bad debts
II. Discounts
III. Returns
IV. Provision for bad debts
Answer Details
The item that will not appear in the preparation of a control account is option IV only, which is "Provision for bad debts." A control account is a summary account that provides an overview of the individual accounts that make up a particular category, such as debtors or creditors. The purpose of a control account is to reconcile the total balance of individual accounts with the balance in the control account. In the context of accounts receivable, which is money owed to a company by its customers, the control account typically includes transactions such as sales, cash receipts, discounts, and returns. Bad debts, which are accounts that are unlikely to be paid by customers, are also included in the control account. However, the provision for bad debts is a separate account that is used to estimate the amount of bad debts that are likely to occur in the future, and it is not typically included in the control account. In summary, the provision for bad debts is not included in the preparation of a control account, while bad debts, discounts, and returns are typically included.
Question 10 Report
Answer Details
The instrument issued by the Minister who authorized an officer to incur expenditure is called a "warrant". A warrant is a legal document that authorizes a government official, usually a financial officer, to spend a specific amount of money from a particular fund or budget.

Cost of raw materials consumed is
Answer Details
The cost of raw materials consumed is ₦152,120. To determine the cost of raw materials consumed, you need to subtract the stock of raw materials on January 1st from the stock of raw materials on December 31st and add the purchases of raw materials, which is ₦71,380 - ₦50,640 + ₦32,160 = ₦53,000. This amount is then added to the direct expenses, such as factory fuel, carriage inwards on raw materials, and manufacturing wages, which are ₦29,640 + ₦45,000 + ₦16,500 + ₦12,500 + ₦7,000 = ₦100,640. The total of these two amounts is ₦152,120, which is the cost of raw materials consumed.
Question 13 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.

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.
Question 17 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.

It has been decided to value goodwill at 2 years purchase of average profit for the past 4 years. The value of goodwill is
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.
Question 20 Report
Majority of commercial transactions are termed credit transactions, which means
Answer Details
When we say that a commercial transaction is a credit transaction, it means that the payment for goods or services is deferred to a future date. In other words, the buyer doesn't pay immediately for the goods they've purchased, but instead, they are given a certain period of time to pay for those goods. This is a common practice in business, as it allows buyers to make purchases without having to pay for them upfront, and it also allows sellers to extend credit to their customers, which can help to build customer loyalty and increase sales. In a credit transaction, an account is usually opened between the buyer and seller, which keeps track of the amount owed and the payment due date. When the payment due date arrives, the buyer is expected to make the payment, which settles the account. It's important to note that in a credit transaction, the item of expenditure doesn't increase. The cost of the goods or services remains the same, but the payment for those goods or services is deferred to a future date.
Question 21 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.

|
| Net profit | 25,000 |
Calculate the net profit on percentage of expenses.
Answer Details
To calculate the net profit as a percentage of expenses, we need to first determine the total expenses of the company for the year. We can do this by adding up all of the overhead expenses: admin expenses + selling expenses + other overhead expenses. Total expenses = ₦16,800 + ₦15,000 + ₦6,200 = ₦38,000 Next, we can calculate the net profit as a percentage of expenses by dividing the net profit by the total expenses and multiplying by 100. Net profit as a percentage of expenses = (Net profit / Total expenses) x 100 = (₦25,000 / ₦38,000) x 100 = 65.79% Therefore, the correct answer is 65.79%, which is option (D). This means that for every ₦1 spent on expenses, the company earned a net profit of approximately ₦0.66. It's important to note that this percentage does not take into account the cost of goods sold, which is a separate expense and is already deducted from the sales figure.

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.

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.

Answer Details
In a partnership, when no agreement is made by the partners, the default provisions of the Partnership Act of the relevant country take effect. These provisions dictate the terms of the partnership, including how profits and losses are to be shared, how interest is to be charged on capital and drawings, and whether partners are entitled to receive salaries. In this context, the statement "the following provisions take place except" is not clear as it suggests that there are several provisions, and one of them does not take effect. However, the options given do not constitute provisions that are part of the default provisions of the Partnership Act. Therefore, the statement is incomplete, and we cannot provide a definitive answer. However, we can say that the default provisions of the Partnership Act are in place to provide a framework for partnerships where there is no agreement between the partners. These provisions may vary from country to country and may be different depending on the legal jurisdiction. Overall, it is always recommended for partners to have a partnership agreement in place that outlines the terms and conditions of the partnership, as this can help avoid potential conflicts and ensure that all partners are on the same page.
