A trial balance is
Answer Details
A trial balance is a list of all the accounts and their balances (either debit or credit) extracted from the ledger. The purpose of a trial balance is to ensure that the total of all the debit balances equals the total of all the credit balances. If the trial balance is in balance, it means that the accounts have been properly recorded and that the books are mathematically correct. However, if the trial balance does not balance, it means there is an error in the accounting records that needs to be corrected before the financial statements can be prepared.

Answer Details
The purpose of a trading account is to ascertain the gross profit or loss of a business during a specific period of time. It includes all direct expenses such as the cost of goods sold and all direct revenues such as sales revenue. The trading account serves as an intermediary step towards calculating the net profit or loss of the business, as it only includes direct expenses and revenues, and excludes indirect expenses and revenues such as overheads and interest.

To find the total assets of the company, we need to add the fixed assets and current assets. Fixed assets = N12,000 Current assets = N5,000 Total assets = Fixed assets + Current assets Total assets = N12,000 + N5,000 Total assets = N17,000 Therefore, the total assets of the company are N17,000.

Question 10 Report
Which of the following is used where virement is not possible and where an application for additional provision reveals a degree of urgency?
Answer Details
The answer is "contingency warrant." A contingency warrant is used when virement, which is the transfer of funds from one budget heading to another, is not possible or practicable. It is also used when there is an urgent need for additional provision, but the normal procedure of obtaining authority would cause undue delay. Contingency warrants are issued by the Treasury or other relevant authority and are subject to strict limits and conditions. They allow the relevant department or agency to spend money for a specific purpose within a certain time frame. The use of contingency warrants is closely monitored to ensure that they are used appropriately and in accordance with the relevant regulations and procedures.
Question 11 Report
A sales journal is used to record
Answer Details
A sales journal is used to record all credit sales of a business. A credit sale is a transaction in which the buyer does not make an immediate payment, but instead agrees to pay the seller at a later date. The sales journal records all of these credit sales, including the names of the customers, the date of the sale, the amount of the sale, and any applicable taxes. The sales journal is important because it allows businesses to keep track of all credit sales and to monitor customer accounts. It also makes it easier for businesses to prepare financial statements and to calculate taxes. Cash sales, sales returns, sales commissions, and sales expenses are not recorded in the sales journal. Cash sales are recorded in the cash receipts journal, sales returns are recorded in the sales returns and allowances journal, sales commissions are recorded in the general journal, and sales expenses are recorded in the general journal or in specific expense journals such as the advertising expense journal.

Answer Details
To find the total liabilities, we need to add the current liabilities and the long-term liabilities. Current liabilities = N2,300 Long-term liabilities = N4,700 Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Long-term liabilities Total liabilities = N2,300 + N4,700 Total liabilities = N7,000 Therefore, the correct answer is N7,000.

Working capital amounts to
Answer Details
Working capital refers to the amount of funds available for the day-to-day operations of a business. It is calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. In this case, the current assets are the sum of stock, debtors, and cash, which is N28,000 + N22,000 + N1,000 = N51,000. The current liabilities are the sum of creditors and accruals, which is N25,000 + N15,000 = N40,000. Therefore, the working capital is N51,000 - N40,000 = N11,000. So, the answer is (E) N11,000.

A document which acknowledges that a company owes a named person a stated sum of money with the promise that a stated interest rate will be paid periodically is called a debenture certificate. Debentures are long-term loan instruments issued by a company that carry a fixed rate of interest and are usually secured against the assets of the company. The holder of a debenture is a creditor of the company, and the company is obligated to repay the principal amount of the debenture along with the interest as per the terms of the debenture certificate.

Answer Details
Payments are shown on the balance sheet as a current asset if they have been made but not yet used or consumed. For example, if a company has paid for inventory that has not yet been sold, this payment would be shown on the balance sheet as a current asset called "inventory." Payments can also be shown as a liability if they are payments that the company owes to others, such as accounts payable or loans payable. In general, the classification of payments on the balance sheet will depend on the specific nature of the payment and how it relates to the company's overall financial position. Therefore, the answer to the question cannot be determined without additional information.

A payment of N150 to a credit
Answer Details
A payment of N150 to a credit would result in a reduction of assets and liabilities. When a payment is made to a creditor, it results in a decrease in the bank balance (reduction in assets) and also reduces the amount owed to the creditor (reduction in liabilities). So, it affects both the asset and liability side of the balance sheet. Therefore, the correct answer is "a reduction in assets and liabilities".

Question 34 Report

Answer Details
Mr. B should debit this transaction to Mr. C's account. Debit means an entry on the left side of an account, and it represents an increase in assets, expenses, or a decrease in liabilities, equity, or revenue. In this case, when Mr. B sold goods worth N200 to Mr. C on credit, it means that Mr. C owes Mr. B N200, and the amount receivable from Mr. C is an asset for Mr. B. Therefore, to record this transaction, Mr. B should make the following journal entry in his books of accounts: Mr. C's Account Dr. N200 To Sales Account N200 Here, Mr. C's account is debited with N200, which represents an increase in the amount receivable from Mr. C, and the sales account is credited with N200, which represents an increase in sales revenue for Mr. B. Hence, option (D) Mr. C's account is the correct answer.

Question 42 Report
Debentures issued at a price above the nominal value are said to be issued
Answer Details
Debentures issued at a price above the nominal value are said to be issued "at premium". A debenture is a type of bond or loan security issued by a company. The nominal value, also known as face value or par value, is the value of the debenture when it is first issued. If the debenture is issued at a price that is higher than its nominal value, it is said to be issued at a premium. This means that investors are willing to pay more than the face value of the debenture because they believe that it offers a better return than other investments. The opposite of issuing at a premium is issuing at a discount, which means that the debenture is issued at a price lower than its nominal value.

Question 47 Report
Which of the following is no part of prime cost of production?
Answer Details
Depreciation of factory equipment is not a part of the prime cost of production. Prime cost is the sum of all direct costs involved in the production of goods or services, which includes the cost of raw materials, direct expenses, direct wages, and any other expenses that are directly attributable to the production process. Depreciation, on the other hand, is a non-cash expense that reflects the gradual decrease in value of the factory equipment over its useful life. It is considered an indirect cost because it does not directly contribute to the production process. Therefore, depreciation of factory equipment is not included in the calculation of prime cost.
