Use the following information to answer the given question
\(\begin{array}{c|c} & N \\ \hline \text{Sales} & 14,600 \\ \text{Purchases} & 5,500 \\ \text{Return inward} & 150 \\ \text{Rent} & 2,000 \\ \text{Salaries} & 1,000 \\ \text{Discount received} & 400\\ \text{Closing stock} & 250 \\ \text{Opening stock} & 100\end{array}\)
Net profit is
Answer Details
To calculate the net profit, we need to subtract all the expenses from the total sales after adjusting for returns and discount received and adding the closing stock. Total sales = 14,600 Less: Returns inward = 150 Net sales = 14,450 Add: Closing stock = 250 Gross profit = 14,700 Now, we need to subtract all the expenses from the gross profit to get the net profit. Gross profit = 14,700 Less: Purchases = 5,500 Add: Opening stock = 100 Net purchases = 5,600 Add: Rent = 2,000 Add: Salaries = 1,000 Total expenses = 8,600 Net profit before discount received = 6,100 Add: Discount received = 400 Net profit = 6,500 Therefore, the net profit is N6,500. Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 2 Report
Williams and Jacob are in partnership but there is no partnership agreement. The capital contributed are N60,000 and N40,000 respectively. Profit for the year is N20,000. Interest on capital is 10%. What is Williams' interest on capital?
Answer Details
Interest on capital is the interest paid by the partnership to the partners on their capital contribution for the year. In this case, the total capital contributed by both Williams and Jacob is N60,000 + N40,000 = N100,000. The interest rate on capital is 10%, which means that the partnership will pay an interest of 10% on the capital contribution of each partner. For Williams, his capital contribution is N60,000. Therefore, his interest on capital for the year will be: N60,000 x 10% = N6,000 Therefore, Williams' interest on capital is N6,000.

Answer Details
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to subtract the closing stock from the sum of opening stock, purchases, and any other expenses directly related to the cost of goods sold. The formula for calculating the cost of goods sold is: Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock Using the values given in the table, we have: Cost of goods sold = 100 + 5,500 - 250 Cost of goods sold = N5,350 Therefore, the answer is N5,350.

XYZ Enterprises bought ABC Enterprises by issuing 30,000 ordinary shares of N1 each at a discount of 5%. The assets of ABC Enterprises are stock N18,000. Debtors N11,000. Capital reserve was
Answer Details
Since XYZ Enterprises acquired ABC Enterprises by issuing 30,000 ordinary shares of N1 each at a discount of 5%, we can calculate the total value of the shares issued as follows: 30,000 shares x N1 per share x (1 - 5%) = N28,500 This means that the value of the shares issued is N28,500. We also know the assets of ABC Enterprises are stock N18,000 and debtors N11,000. Therefore, the total value of the assets is: N18,000 + N11,000 = N29,000 Since the value of the assets (N29,000) is greater than the value of the shares issued (N28,500), there is a capital reserve. The amount of the capital reserve is the difference between the value of the assets and the value of the shares issued: N29,000 - N28,500 = N500 Therefore, the capital reserve is N500.
Question 10 Report
Williams and Jacob are in partnership but there is no partnership agreement. The capital contributed are N60,000 and N40,000 respectively. Profit for the year is N20,000. Interest on capital is 10%. What is Williams' share of profit?
Answer Details
To determine each partner's share of profit, we need to first calculate the interest on their capital contribution. Williams contributed N60,000, so the interest on his capital is 10% of N60,000, which is N6,000. Jacob contributed N40,000, so the interest on his capital is 10% of N40,000, which is N4,000. The total interest on capital is N6,000 + N4,000 = N10,000. To find Williams' share of the remaining profit, we need to subtract the interest on capital from the total profit: N20,000 - N10,000 = N10,000 Now we can divide the remaining profit equally between Williams and Jacob since there is no partnership agreement. Therefore, Williams' share of profit is N10,000 ÷ 2 = N5,000. So the correct option is: - N5,000

Question 13 Report
A motor vehicle bought for N16,000 was estimated to have a useful life span of 4 years and a scrap of N2,000. Using the straight line method, what is the amount of depreciation charged per annum?
Answer Details
The straight-line method is a method of calculating depreciation that involves dividing the cost of an asset minus its scrap value by the number of years of its useful life. In this case, the cost of the motor vehicle is N16,000 and the scrap value is N2,000. So the depreciable cost of the asset is N14,000 (N16,000 - N2,000). Using the straight-line method, the amount of depreciation charged per annum is calculated as depreciable cost divided by the useful life of the asset. Therefore, the amount of depreciation charged per annum is N3,500 (N14,000 divided by 4 years). So the answer is N3,500.
Question 14 Report

Answer Details
When goods are purchased on account, it means that the payment for the goods is not made immediately but rather, the supplier or vendor expects payment at a later date. In this case, the accounting entries are: debit purchases account, credit supplier's account The reason for this is that the company has received goods (an asset) and has incurred a liability (the amount owed to the supplier). The purchases account is debited to record the increase in assets, and the supplier's account is credited to record the increase in liabilities. This reflects the fact that the company owes the supplier money for the goods purchased.

Answer Details
A partner who has full power of participating in the conduct of a partnership business is known as a "general partner". A general partner is actively involved in the daily operations of the business and has unlimited liability for the debts and obligations of the partnership. This means that if the partnership is unable to pay its debts, the general partner's personal assets may be used to settle the outstanding obligations. In contrast, a limited partner has limited liability and is not involved in the day-to-day operations of the partnership. A sleeping partner is another name for a silent partner, who provides financial capital but does not participate in the management of the business. A nominal partner is someone who is held out to be a partner, but in reality, does not have any actual involvement in the partnership business.
Question 20 Report
The accounting entry for depreciation at the end of each year is to debit
Answer Details
The accounting entry for depreciation at the end of each year is to debit the provision for depreciation account and credit the machinery account. This is because depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life, which reduces the carrying amount of the asset. The provision for depreciation account is used to accumulate the total amount of depreciation charged to an asset over its useful life. By debiting the provision for depreciation account, we are increasing the amount of accumulated depreciation, which reflects the total depreciation charged to date. By crediting the machinery account, we are reducing the carrying amount of the asset on the balance sheet, which reflects the fact that the asset has been used up over time.
Question 21 Report
How much did Olu sell goods bought at N1,000 if he sells at a margin of 20% on selling price?
Answer Details
If Olu sells at a margin of 20% on the selling price, then it means the selling price is 120% of the cost price. Let X be the selling price, then: X = 120% of N1,000 X = (120/100) * N1,000 X = N12,000/10 X = N1,200 Therefore, Olu sold the goods at N1,200 if he sells at a margin of 20% on selling price. The answer is N1,200.

Answer Details
To calculate the rent charged to the profit and loss account for the year 1998, we need to find out the rent expense for the year. Rent expense for the year is the total rent payable for the year minus the rent payable at the beginning of the year (rent owing as at 1st January 1998). Total rent payable for the year is the sum of rent owing as at 31st December 1998 and rent paid up to 31st December 1998. So, Total rent payable for the year = Rent owing as at 31st December 1998 + Rent paid up to 31st December 1998 = N800 + N1,700 = N2,500 Rent expense for the year = Total rent payable for the year - Rent owing as at 1st January 1998 = N2,500 - N500 = N2,000 Therefore, the rent charged to the profit and loss account for the year 1998 is N2,000. Hence, the answer is N2,000.

Backing storage is called "external" because it is not part of the computer's internal components and is instead connected to the computer through an external interface such as USB or FireWire. The term "backing" refers to the fact that the storage is used to back up data, and can also be used to store large amounts of data that cannot fit in the computer's main memory.
Question 39 Report
Closing stock was overstated. The effect is that
Answer Details
Closing stock is the value of unsold goods at the end of an accounting period. Overstating closing stock means that its value was recorded more than it actually was, resulting in an increase in the value of the stock. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the cost of goods sold because the value of goods sold is reduced by the value of closing stock. Therefore, if closing stock is overstated, the cost of goods sold will be understated. As a result, gross profit will be overstated because it is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the sales revenue. So, the effect of overstating closing stock is that the gross profit is overstated.

Answer Details
The closing balance for 1998 is an item under current liability. This is because rent owing is an amount that the company owes to another party, which must be paid within one year. The closing balance for rent owing represents the total amount that the company owes to its landlord for rent that was due but not yet paid as at the end of the year. This amount is classified as a current liability because it is a debt that must be paid within the next 12 months. Therefore, the closing balance for rent owing is reported under the current liabilities section of the balance sheet.

Which of the following accounts has a debit balance?
Answer Details
An account having a debit balance means that the total amount of all the debits made in the account is greater than the total amount of all the credits made in the account. Out of the options given, the account that has a debit balance is "share discount". "Share discount" is a type of account used to record the difference between the face value of shares and the amount actually received on their issue, when the issue price is less than the face value of the shares. When a company issues shares at a discount, the difference between the issue price and face value is considered as an expense for the company, and is recorded in the share discount account. Since the discount is an expense, it is debited to the share discount account, resulting in a debit balance in the account.

A bonus issue is an offer made by a company to its shareholders to issue new shares for free, based on the number of shares they currently hold. In this case, the company is offering one new share for every four shares held. Therefore, for every 4 shares held, the shareholder will receive an additional share. If the shareholder currently holds 100,000 shares, we can calculate how many additional shares they will receive by dividing their current shares by 4. 100,000 / 4 = 25,000 Therefore, the shareholder will receive 25,000 additional shares in the bonus issue. The answer is 25,000.

It is used to determine a company's ability to pay off its current liabilities immediately, using only its most liquid assets such as cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable. It excludes inventory because inventory is not easily converted to cash in the short term. A high quick ratio indicates that the company has enough liquid assets to cover its short-term obligations and is therefore considered financially solvent.
Question 45 Report
A motor vehicle bought for N16,000 was estimated to have a useful life span of 4 years and a scrap of N2,000. What is the net book value of the motor vehicle at the end of the third year, using the straight line method?
Answer Details
The straight-line method is a method of calculating depreciation where the same amount of depreciation is charged each year. To calculate the depreciation for each year, we need to subtract the scrap value from the cost of the asset, then divide the result by the useful life of the asset. In this case, the cost of the motor vehicle is N16,000, and the scrap value is N2,000, so the depreciable cost is N16,000 - N2,000 = N14,000. The useful life of the motor vehicle is 4 years, so the annual depreciation charge is N14,000 / 4 = N3,500. At the end of the third year, the accumulated depreciation will be N3,500 × 3 = N10,500. Therefore, the net book value of the motor vehicle at the end of the third year will be the cost of the asset minus the accumulated depreciation, which is N16,000 - N10,500 = N5,500. So the correct answer is N5,500.
