Answer Details
The accounting ratio used to measure the average number of days for which suppliers remain unpaid is called "creditor's payment period". This ratio is used to assess how long a company takes to pay its suppliers.

The business make use of the straight line method for providing depreciation, the accumulated depreciation as at 31/12/2013 is
Answer Details
To calculate the accumulated depreciation, we need to find the annual depreciation first. We can calculate this using the straight-line method: Annual depreciation = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful lifespan Annual depreciation = (₦85,000 - ₦5,000) / 10 Annual depreciation = ₦8,000 Now, to find the accumulated depreciation as at 31/12/2013, we need to calculate the number of years from 1/1/12 to 31/12/13. This is 2 years. Accumulated depreciation = Annual depreciation x Number of years Accumulated depreciation = ₦8,000 x 2 Accumulated depreciation = ₦16,000 Therefore, the accumulated depreciation as at 31/12/2013 is ₦16,000. Option (C) is the correct answer.
Question 10 Report

Answer Details
An example of a credit entry in a profit and loss account is "discounts received". In accounting, a profit and loss account (also known as an income statement) is a financial statement that summarizes a company's revenues, expenses, gains, and losses over a specific period. A credit entry is an accounting entry made on the right-hand side of an account, indicating an increase in income, revenue, or capital or a decrease in an expense or liability. Discounts received are a form of income, as they represent reductions in the cost of goods or services purchased by a business. Therefore, discounts received are credited to the profit and loss account. Carriage inwards and carriage outwards are expenses that are debited to the profit and loss account, while discounts allowed is an expense that reduces the profit and is also debited to the profit and loss account.

Answer Details
In the operation of an imprest or petty cash, the petty cashier regularly begins each period with the same amount of money. The imprest system is a method of controlling and monitoring small and regular expenses within a company. The system involves providing a fixed amount of cash to a petty cashier at the beginning of a period to cover minor expenses, such as office supplies, postage, or taxi fares. The petty cashier is responsible for recording each expense and submitting the receipts to the main cashier for reimbursement. When the petty cash fund runs low, the petty cashier will submit a request to the main cashier for reimbursement, which is usually equal to the original amount of the petty cash fund. This ensures that the petty cash fund remains at a constant level, and any discrepancies can be easily identified and investigated.

By treating personal expenses as drawings, the financial statements provide a more accurate picture of the business's financial performance and position.

Answer Details
The accounting concept which states that expenditure involving insignificant amounts should be regarded as expenses and not assets is known as "materiality." In other words, materiality refers to the idea that only transactions and events that are significant to the financial statements should be recorded as assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, or expenses.

The business make use of the straight line method for providing depreciation, the annual depreciation is
Answer Details
To calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method, we need to subtract the residual value from the cost of the motor vehicle and then divide the result by the estimated useful lifespan. In this case, the cost of the motor vehicle is ₦85,000, and the residual value is ₦5,000. Therefore, the depreciable cost is ₦80,000 (₦85,000 - ₦5,000). The estimated useful lifespan is 10 years. Therefore, the annual depreciation is ₦8,000 (₦80,000 ÷ 10). So, the correct option is ₦8,000.

Which of the following items is not contained in the Receipts and Payments Account?

The Receipts and Payments Account is a summary of all cash transactions of a not-for-profit organization during an accounting period. It records all cash receipts and payments, including both capital and revenue items. Among the options listed, the item that is not typically included in the Receipts and Payments Account is "stock paid for in advance." This is because the Receipts and Payments Account records only cash transactions, and the purchase of stock does not necessarily involve a cash transaction. Instead, the purchase of stock may be recorded in the organization's Income and Expenditure Account or Statement of Financial Activities, depending on whether it is a revenue or capital item. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "stock paid for in advance."

Question 42 Report
Shares issued below nominal value are referred to as shares at
Answer Details
Shares issued below nominal value are referred to as shares at a discount. This means that the shares are being sold at a price lower than their face value. For example, if a company issues shares with a face value of $1 each, but sells them at $0.80 each, then the shares are being issued at a discount. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as when a company needs to raise capital quickly or when there is weak demand for its shares. The discount represents a loss to the company, as it is receiving less than the nominal value of the shares. In some cases, shareholders may also see a reduction in the value of their holdings due to the issuance of shares at a discount.
