Question 7 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 9 Report
In order to make the cash book balance equal to the bank statement, it is usually to add?
Answer Details
In order to make the cash book balance equal to the bank statement, it is usually necessary to add the amount of "unpresented cheques". This is because unpresented cheques represent the cheques that have been issued by the organization, but have not yet been presented to the bank for payment. As a result, these cheques are not reflected in the bank statement, but are recorded in the organization's cash book as a deduction from its cash balance. To reconcile the cash book balance with the bank statement, the organization needs to identify the unpresented cheques and add them to the cash book balance. This adjustment will increase the cash book balance to reflect the total amount of funds the organization actually has, even if they haven't yet been withdrawn from the bank. The other answer options, such as uncredited cheques, direct payments by bank, and bank charges, would typically require adjustments to be made to the cash book balance, but these adjustments would not necessarily involve adding amounts to the balance. For example, uncredited cheques may need to be deducted from the cash book balance, while bank charges may need to be added as a deduction. Direct payments by bank may also require adjustments to both the cash book and bank statement balances.

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.
The N6,000 subscription received is?
Answer Details
The N6,000 subscription received is a current liability. A liability is a debt or obligation that a company owes to another party, which must be settled in the future. In this case, the N6,000 subscription received is for next year, which means that the company has not yet provided the goods or services for which the customer has paid. Therefore, the N6,000 subscription is an obligation that the company must fulfill in the future, making it a current liability. The N30,000 subscription received during the year is a revenue or income for the company, while the N4,000 subscription owed last year is a previous liability that was not settled in the past year. Both of these amounts are not related to the current question.
Question 12 Report
In the head office ledger, the value of goods sent to the branch are____________
Answer Details
In the head office ledger, the value of goods sent to the branch are debited to the branch current account. When a company sends goods from the head office to the branch, this is known as a branch transfer. The value of these goods should be recorded in the head office ledger as a debit to the branch current account. This is because the head office is effectively lending the goods to the branch, and the branch will need to repay the head office for these goods at a later date. The branch current account is a type of account in the head office ledger that is used to track the transactions between the head office and the branch. All transactions relating to the branch, such as branch transfers, expenses paid by the head office on behalf of the branch, and cash sent to the branch, are recorded in the branch current account. Therefore, when the head office sends goods to the branch, the value of these goods is recorded as a debit to the branch current account in the head office ledger. This means that the branch owes the head office for the goods received, and the head office can use this information to track the balance owed by the branch. In summary, the value of goods sent to the branch from the head office is debited to the branch current account in the head office ledger, as this account is used to track all transactions between the head office and the branch.

Question 14 Report
Calls in advance are treated in the balance sheet as_______
Answer Details
Calls in advance are treated in the balance sheet as a current liability. Calls in advance refer to the money paid by shareholders in advance for shares that they have subscribed for, but not yet fully paid for. The company is therefore indebted to the shareholders for this amount until the shares are fully paid for. In the balance sheet, current liabilities are short-term debts or obligations that are due within a year, and calls in advance typically fall under this category. This is because the shareholders have the right to demand a refund of the money they paid in advance if the shares are not allotted to them or if they choose not to take up the shares. Therefore, calls in advance will be listed as a liability in the balance sheet, typically under the "current liabilities" section, until the shares are fully paid for and the liability is discharged.
Question 15 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 17 Report
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 18 Report
The accounting entries used to record a cheque issued by a business is to?
Answer Details
The accounting entries used to record a cheque issued by a business are to credit the Cash Book and debit the Drawer's account. When a business issues a cheque, it reduces the balance of cash held by the business, and this reduction in cash is recorded by debiting the Drawer's account. At the same time, the cheque creates a liability for the business, which is recorded by crediting the Cash Book. In other words, when the cheque is issued, the business is reducing its own cash balance and creating a debt or liability that will be paid in the future. Therefore, the Cash Book is credited to reflect the creation of the liability, while the Drawer's account is debited to show the reduction in the business's cash balance.
Question 19 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 20 Report
In departmental accounting, which is not a transfer pricing_________
Answer Details
Peak pricing is not a transfer pricing method in departmental accounting. Transfer pricing is the process of determining the price at which goods or services are exchanged between different departments or divisions within a company. Cost based transfer price is a method where the transfer price is set based on the cost of producing the goods or services being transferred. Market based transfer pricing is a method where the transfer price is set based on the market price for the goods or services being transferred. Dual pricing system is a method where two different transfer prices are set for the same goods or services, depending on the context in which they are being transferred. Peak pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are increased during periods of high demand, such as holidays or special events. It is not a transfer pricing method.
Question 21 Report
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 23 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.

Which of the following is not a type of branch?
Answer Details
"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.

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.

(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.
Question 32 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.
Question 33 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.

Use the information above to answer the following question.
What is the gross profit margin?
Answer Details
The gross profit margin is a measure of the profitability of a business, and it is calculated by dividing the gross profit by the revenue and expressing the result as a percentage. The gross profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of goods sold, which is the direct cost of producing the goods or services that the business sells. In the information provided, the revenue or sales is N20,000, and the cost of sales is N10,000. Therefore, the gross profit can be calculated as follows: Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of sales = N20,000 - N10,000 = N10,000 The gross profit margin can be calculated by dividing the gross profit by the revenue and expressing the result as a percentage: Gross profit margin = (Gross profit / Revenue) x 100% = (N10,000 / N20,000) x 100% = 50% Therefore, the gross profit margin is 50%, which means that for every Naira of revenue generated, the business earns 50 kobo in gross profit. This indicates that the business has a healthy gross profit margin and is able to cover its direct costs of production while making a reasonable profit.
Question 35 Report
The total credit sales for a period can be extracted from the?
Answer Details
The total credit sales for a period can be extracted from the Sales Day Book. The Sales Day Book is a book of prime entry used to record all credit sales made by a business during a particular period. It typically contains information such as the date of the sale, the name of the customer, the amount of the sale, and any relevant invoice or reference numbers. Since credit sales involve selling goods or services on credit, they are not immediately paid for at the time of sale. Instead, the customer is given a certain amount of time, usually 30 to 90 days, to pay for the goods or services. As a result, credit sales do not result in an immediate inflow of cash, but they do represent revenue earned by the business. Therefore, to determine the total credit sales for a given period, we can simply add up all the credit sales recorded in the Sales Day Book for that period. This figure represents the total amount of revenue earned by the business from credit sales during that period, and is an important indicator of the business's financial performance. In summary, the Sales Day Book is used to record all credit sales made by a business, and the total credit sales for a period can be extracted from this book by adding up all the credit sales recorded during that period.
