Question 1 Report
The amount called in respect of a share but not paid before or on the date fixed for payment is referred to as:
Answer Details
The amount called in respect of a share but not paid before or on the date fixed for payment is referred to as a "call in arrears". When a company issues shares, it may require shareholders to pay for them in installments. These installments are known as "calls" and the amount that is due but not paid on the due date is called a "call in arrears". For example, let's say a company issues 100 shares with a nominal value of $10 per share. The company may require shareholders to pay for the shares in two installments, with $5 due on the issue of the share and $5 due in six months' time. If a shareholder pays only $4 on the due date of the second installment, they would have a call in arrears of $1. It is important for companies to keep track of calls in arrears because they represent unpaid capital that the company is entitled to collect. The company can take legal action to recover the amount owed, or it may declare the shares forfeited if the shareholder fails to pay the amount due within a specified period of time. In summary, a call in arrears is the amount that a shareholder owes to a company for a share that has been issued but not fully paid for on the due date. It represents unpaid capital that the company is entitled to collect, and the company may take legal action or declare the shares forfeited if the shareholder fails to pay the amount due.
Question 2 Report
Use the information below to answer the question:
| Liabilities ₦ | Assets ₦ |
| Capital 40,000 | Furnishing 10,000 |
| Ceiling Fan 1,500 | |
| Cash in Hand 28,500 | |
| 40,000 | 40,000 |
If at 31/1/95 the following information was ascertained
(i) rent for shop ₦12,000 paid for the year
(ii) Total purchases ₦15,000
(iii) Total sales ₦8,200
(iv) Stock of goods left ₦10,000
(v) paid sales boy ₦500
Answer Details
To determine the total value of the assets after the transactions, we need to add up all the values of the assets and also add the values of the transactions that increased the value of the assets, then we will subtract the values of the transactions that reduced the value of the assets. From the information given in the question, the total value of the assets before the transactions is ₦40,000. Now let's calculate the effect of each transaction: (i) Rent for shop ₦12,000 paid for the year: This is a prepaid expense, so we need to deduct ₦12,000 from the cash in hand and add it to the value of furnishing. Therefore, the value of the assets after this transaction is: Cash in hand = ₦28,500 - ₦12,000 = ₦16,500 Furnishing = ₦10,000 + ₦12,000 = ₦22,000 (ii) Total purchases ₦15,000: This is an increase in the value of the stock of goods left. Therefore, the value of the assets after this transaction is: Stock of goods left = ₦10,000 + ₦15,000 = ₦25,000 (iii) Total sales ₦8,200: This is a decrease in the value of the stock of goods left and an increase in the cash in hand. Therefore, the value of the assets after this transaction is: Stock of goods left = ₦25,000 - ₦8,200 = ₦16,800 Cash in hand = ₦16,500 + ₦8,200 = ₦24,700 (iv) Stock of goods left ₦10,000: This is the value of the stock of goods left after the purchases and sales. Therefore, the value of the assets after this transaction is: Stock of goods left = ₦16,800 - ₦10,000 = ₦6,800 (v) Paid sales boy ₦500: This is a decrease in the cash in hand. Therefore, the value of the assets after this transaction is: Cash in hand = ₦24,700 - ₦500 = ₦24,200 Finally, we add up all the values of the assets to get the total value of the assets after the transactions: Total value of assets = ₦22,000 + ₦1,500 + ₦6,800 + ₦24,200 Total value of assets = ₦54,500 Therefore, the option that represents the total value of the assets after the transactions is ₦41,700.

Tanko Ltd had
The company's earnings yield is? |
Answer Details
The earnings yield is a measure of the return on investment for a company's earnings. It is calculated by dividing the earnings per share by the market price per share, and expressing the result as a percentage. In this case, Tanko Ltd's earnings per share is 47k (0.47 Naira), and its market price per share is NM1.50 (1.50 Naira). So, the earnings yield can be calculated as follows: Earnings yield = (Earnings per share / Market price per share) x 100% = (0.47 / 1.50) x 100% = 31.33% Therefore, the earnings yield for Tanko Ltd is 31.33%, which means that for every Naira invested in the company's stock, investors can expect a return of 31.33 Naira in earnings.
Question 10 Report
Which of the following is a common cause of a discrepancy between head office and branch trial office________
Answer Details
Stock and cash in transit is a common cause of a discrepancy between head office and branch trial office. This is because stock and cash in transit are two types of assets that are often not recorded accurately in the accounts. Stock can be difficult to value and count accurately, especially if it is in transit between the head office and the branch. Cash in transit refers to cash that is in the process of being transferred between the head office and the branch, and may not be recorded in either account until it has arrived at its destination. If the stock or cash in transit is not recorded accurately, it can result in a discrepancy between the head office and branch trial balance. For example, if the branch has recorded the stock as received, but the head office has not yet recorded it as sent, the branch will have a higher stock value than the head office. Similarly, if the branch has recorded cash in transit as received, but the head office has not yet recorded it as sent, the branch will have a higher cash balance than the head office. , which suggests stock and repayment, is incorrect because repayment is not directly related to a discrepancy between head office and branch trial balance. , which suggests creditors and cash in transit, is also incorrect because creditors are liabilities and not directly related to the assets that are in transit between head office and branch. , which suggests debtors and cash in transit, is also incorrect because debtors are not assets that are in transit between head office and branch, and therefore not a common cause of discrepancy between head office and branch trial balance.
Question 11 Report
Sule and Ahmed are in partnership sharing profit and losses equally. If Khadija is admitted as a new partner to take 1/5 th as her share. What is the new profit or loss sharing?
Answer Details
Sule and Ahmed have been sharing profits and losses equally, which means they divide the profits and losses 50-50. Now, Khadija is admitted as a new partner, and she takes 1/5 of the share. The new profit and loss sharing ratio will be 3 parts because there are now three partners. To calculate the new profit and loss sharing ratio, we need to divide 3 parts equally among the three partners. So, each part will be 1/3. Therefore, the new profit and loss sharing ratio will be: Sule 1/3, Ahmed 1/3, and Khadija 1/3. Hence, the correct answer is: Sule 1/3, Ahmed 1/3, and Khadija 1/3.
Question 12 Report
Why are adjustments in the profit and loss account necessary?
Answer Details
The profit and loss account is a financial statement that shows a company's revenues, expenses, and profits over a particular period. The purpose of this statement is to give an overview of the company's financial performance during that period. However, it's not always straightforward to determine the exact amount of income and expenses for a particular period, which is why adjustments are necessary. Adjustments are necessary to ascertain the actual expenses incurred and income earned during the year. This involves adjusting the revenue and expenses figures to reflect the actual amounts earned or incurred during the year, including any amounts that have not been received or paid but are still owed or owing. For example, if a company has sold goods to a customer on credit, the revenue from that sale will not be reflected in the profit and loss account until the payment is received. Similarly, if the company has received goods or services from a supplier but has not yet paid for them, the expense will not be reflected in the profit and loss account until the payment is made. Adjustments are also necessary to show the provisions made during the year. Provisions are amounts set aside to cover potential future expenses or losses. For example, a company may set aside a provision for bad debts to cover potential losses from customers who are unlikely to pay. In conclusion, adjustments in the profit and loss account are necessary to provide an accurate representation of the company's financial performance during the period. These adjustments reflect the actual expenses incurred and income earned during the year, as well as any provisions made for potential future expenses or losses.

"Single branch" is not a type of branch. A branch refers to an additional location of a business, separate from its main or headquarters location. A dependent branch is a location that relies on the head office for support and decision making. An independent branch operates separately from the head office, making its own decisions and managing its own resources. A foreign branch is a location established in a foreign country. However, "single branch" is not a type of branch. It simply refers to a situation where a business has only one location or branch.
Question 17 Report
The amount paid by the new partner on admission as a compensation for the reputation built up by old partners is a
Answer Details
The amount paid by the new partner on admission as compensation for the reputation built up by old partners is called "Goodwill". Goodwill is an intangible asset that represents the value of a business beyond its tangible assets such as property, equipment, and inventory. It takes into account things like the business's reputation, customer relationships, and brand recognition. When a new partner joins a business, they may pay for a share of the goodwill to compensate the existing partners for the value they've built up in the business. In simpler terms, goodwill is like the good reputation of a business and the new partner pays for a share of this reputation when they join the business.
Question 18 Report
In dealing with incomplete record, fixed assets are posted to___________-
Answer Details
In dealing with incomplete records, fixed assets are typically posted to the closing balance sheet as a brought forward figure. This means that the fixed asset is recorded as an asset at the beginning of the accounting period and is carried forward until the end of the period. The asset is then included in the closing balance sheet, which provides a snapshot of the company's financial position at the end of the period. Since incomplete records do not provide a complete picture of the company's financial transactions, it can be difficult to determine the exact value of fixed assets. Posting fixed assets to the closing balance sheet as a brought forward figure provides a way to include the assets in the company's financial statements without the need for extensive record-keeping or complicated calculations. By posting fixed assets to the closing balance sheet, it is easier to calculate the net worth of the company, which is an important indicator of financial health. This information can be used by investors, creditors, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions about the company.
Question 19 Report
The excess of sales over cost of goods sold is?
Answer Details
The excess of sales over cost of goods sold is called "gross profit". Gross profit represents the amount of money that a company earns from selling its products or services, minus the direct costs associated with producing those products or services. For example, if a company sells a product for $100 and it costs $60 to produce that product, the company's gross profit would be $40. This means that for every product sold, the company earns $40 that can be used to cover other expenses like salaries, rent, and marketing. It's important to note that gross profit is different from net profit. Net profit is the total amount of money a company earns after all of its expenses, including indirect costs like overhead and taxes, have been subtracted from its revenue. Gross profit, on the other hand, only takes into account the direct costs associated with producing and selling products or services.

| Dividends per share 30k |
| Per value of each share N1.20 |
| market price per share NM1.50 |
Answer Details
The price-earnings (P/E) ratio of the company can be calculated by dividing the market price per share by the earnings per share (EPS). The P/E ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay for each Naira of the company's earnings. In this case, to calculate the P/E ratio for Tanko Ltd: Market price per share / Earnings per share = P/E ratio N1.50 / N0.47 = N3.19 So, the P/E ratio for Tanko Ltd is N3.19. This means that investors are willing to pay N3.19 for every Naira of the company's earnings. In simple terms, the P/E ratio is a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for every Naira of the company's earnings and in this case, the P/E ratio for Tanko Ltd is N3.19.

Calculate the cost of goods sold
Answer Details
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to find the cost of goods available and then subtract the closing stock. The cost of goods available is found by adding the opening stock to the cost of purchases: 32,000 + 39,000 = 71,000 The cost of goods sold is found by subtracting the closing stock from the cost of goods available: 71,000 - 9,000 = 62,000 So, the cost of goods sold is ₦62,000.

The accumulated fund of a non-trading concern can equally be referred to as?
Answer Details
The accumulated fund of a non-trading concern can equally be referred to as the "surplus fund". This is because the surplus fund represents the excess of the organization's total assets over its total liabilities and any other committed funds. Non-trading concerns, such as non-profit organizations, do not operate for the purpose of making a profit for its members or shareholders. Instead, any surplus generated is used to further the organization's objectives or to invest in its activities in the future. The surplus fund can be seen as a reserve that the organization can draw on when needed. The other answer options, such as members equity, share capital, and general fund, are not necessarily applicable to non-trading concerns, and do not specifically refer to the accumulated fund. For example, share capital typically refers to the funds raised by a company through the sale of shares, while members equity typically refers to the ownership interest of the members in a company.
Question 28 Report
When a bill is negotiated to a bank , it is said to be?
Answer Details
When a bill is negotiated to a bank, it is said to be "discounted". Negotiating a bill means transferring ownership of the bill from the original holder to the bank. In exchange for this transfer, the bank pays the holder an amount that is less than the face value of the bill, usually with a fee for providing this service. This process is known as "discounting the bill" because the holder receives a discounted value for the bill. So, when a bill is negotiated to a bank, it is said to be "discounted" because the holder receives a discounted value for the bill in exchange for transferring ownership to the bank.
Question 29 Report
Which of the following is a conversion cost?
Answer Details
A conversion cost is a manufacturing cost that is incurred in the process of converting raw materials into finished goods. It includes the expenses related to the direct labor and factory overhead used in the production process. Out of the options given, wages would be considered a conversion cost. Wages refer to the payment made to workers who are directly involved in the manufacturing process. These workers are typically responsible for transforming the raw materials into finished goods, which makes their wages a necessary part of the conversion process. Factory overhead, which refers to the indirect costs associated with manufacturing, would also be considered a conversion cost. This includes expenses such as rent, utilities, and equipment maintenance, which are necessary to keep the production process running smoothly. On the other hand, purchases and material costs are not considered conversion costs. Purchases refer to the amount paid for raw materials and other items that are used in the production process, while material costs are the costs associated with the raw materials themselves. While both of these costs are necessary for production to occur, they are not directly related to the conversion process itself.

Subscription received during the year N30,000. Subscription owed last year N4,000. subscription received for next year N6,000.
Use the details above to answer the following question.
What is the subscription to be charged to income and expenditure account?
Answer Details
The subscription to be charged to the income and expenditure account is N36,000. This is because the subscription received during the year is N30,000, the subscription owed from the previous year is N4,000 and the subscription received for the next year is N6,000. Adding up these three amounts gives us N30,000 + N4,000 + N6,000 = N36,000. So, the total subscription to be charged to the income and expenditure account is N36,000.
Question 34 Report
Cost of rent as an expense can be apportioned to all department on the basis of:
Answer Details
The cost of rent can be apportioned to all departments on the basis of the space occupied by each department. For example, if a company has three departments and Department A occupies 40% of the total office space, Department B occupies 30%, and Department C occupies 30%, then the cost of rent can be apportioned accordingly. If the total cost of rent is $10,000 per month, then Department A would be responsible for $4,000 (i.e., 40% of $10,000), Department B would be responsible for $3,000 (i.e., 30% of $10,000), and Department C would be responsible for $3,000 (i.e., 30% of $10,000). This method of apportionment is fair because each department is responsible for the amount of space it occupies and therefore the amount of rent it incurs. Using other criteria such as the number of employees, stock value or wages, may not accurately reflect the actual amount of space used by each department and could lead to unfair distribution of rent expenses.

Question 37 Report
Profit or loss in a partnership is usually arrived at after deducting from gross profit all expenses including____________
Answer Details
In a partnership, the profit or loss is calculated by subtracting all expenses from the gross profit. These expenses include various costs incurred in running the partnership business, such as rent, utilities, supplies, and wages paid to employees. Additionally, the expenses also include the salaries paid to partners, which is the amount paid to the partners for their work in the business. This is different from the interest on capital, which is the return on the money invested by the partners in the business. Interest on loans is the cost of borrowing money to finance the partnership's operations. This interest expense is deducted from the gross profit to determine the partnership's net profit or loss. Finally, the partners' drawings, which are the amounts taken out of the business by the partners for personal use, are also deducted from the gross profit to determine the partnership's net profit or loss. In summary, the profit or loss in a partnership is calculated by subtracting all expenses, including salaries paid to partners, interest on capital, interest on loans, and partners' drawings, from the gross profit.
Question 39 Report
A partnership deed is used to____________
Answer Details
A partnership deed is used to promote mutual understanding. It is a legal document that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each partner in a partnership business. By specifying the roles and expectations of each partner, a partnership deed helps to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts that could arise between partners. The partnership deed typically includes information such as the names of the partners, the nature of the business, the capital contributions of each partner, the profit and loss sharing ratio, the management structure of the partnership, the procedures for adding or removing partners, and the rules for dissolution of the partnership. By having a clear and well-defined partnership deed, all partners can have a shared understanding of how the business will operate and what is expected of each partner. This can help to establish trust and promote a healthy working relationship between partners, which is crucial for the success of any partnership business.
