Where fixed capital account is maintained, partners Share of profit is transferred to the
Detalles de la respuesta
In accounting, partners' share of profit is transferred to the credit side of the partner's current account. The current account is a record of the transactions related to each partner's capital contributions, drawings, and share of profits or losses. So, when a profit is made, the partners' share of that profit is credited to their current account to show an increase in their capital balance. On the other hand, the fixed capital account is a record of the long-term investments made by the partners into the business, such as buildings, machinery, and equipment. The fixed capital account is not usually affected by the profits or losses of the business, but rather by any changes in the value of the long-term investments. So, in summary, the partners' share of profit is credited to their current account, while the fixed capital account is maintained separately.

Detalles de la respuesta
The concept that seeks to prevent profits from being overstated is "prudence." Prudence is a principle of accounting that requires caution and conservatism when making estimates or judgments about financial transactions. It encourages accountants to be careful not to overstate the value of assets or profits, and to recognize potential losses or liabilities in a timely manner. By applying the principle of prudence, accountants ensure that financial statements accurately reflect the financial position and performance of a business. This helps to maintain the credibility and integrity of financial reporting, and enables stakeholders to make informed decisions based on reliable information.

Detalles de la respuesta
This would be treated as "drawings". Drawings refer to the goods or cash that the owner of a business takes out of the business for personal use. In this case, Sulah took two textile materials worth N500 from his business for his children's use. Since this was not a sale or a loan, but rather an extraction of goods for personal use, it would be considered as "drawings" from the business. It is important for business owners to keep track of their drawings as it affects the profitability and financial position of their business.

Detalles de la respuesta
When the letter "C" is written in front of an entry in the folio column of a cash book, it shows that it is a contra entry. A contra entry is a type of transaction in accounting that involves two accounts. In this type of entry, the debit and credit entries cancel each other out, resulting in a net effect of zero. In other words, if you were to add up the two entries, the total would be zero. This type of entry is used when money is transferred from one account to another, such as when you transfer money from your checking account to your savings account.

Detalles de la respuesta
In public sector accounting, salaries of employees are classified as recurrent expenditure. Recurrent expenditure refers to regular and routine expenses incurred by an organization in carrying out its day-to-day activities. These expenses are incurred repeatedly and are necessary for the normal functioning of the organization. Salaries of employees are a type of recurrent expenditure as they are paid regularly, such as monthly or bi-weekly, to compensate employees for their services. This is in contrast to capital expenditure, which refers to the costs incurred for acquiring and improving assets such as land, buildings, and equipment. Therefore, since salaries are a routine and regular expense necessary for the day-to-day operations of an organization, they are classified as recurrent expenditure in public sector accounting.

This represents the total amount of capital that the business has at the end of the accounting period after taking into account the net profit earned during the period and the amount withdrawn by the owner. The closing capital is an important figure that helps the business owner to understand the financial health of the business and make decisions about its future operations.

Detalles de la respuesta
The quick ratio is a measure of a company's ability to pay off its short-term debts with its most liquid assets. It is calculated by subtracting the value of a company's stock (raw materials, work in progress, finished goods) from its current assets, and then dividing the result by the company's current liabilities. So, the correct option is (3): x = current assets; y = stock and z = current liabilities. This is because the quick ratio formula subtracts the stock (inventory) value from the current assets to arrive at the most liquid assets available for paying off short-term obligations. And, the current liabilities reflect the company's immediate debts that must be paid off in the short term.

Drawings 20,000 30,000
Salary 10,000 -
Netprofit was 100,000
Ogah's share of profit was
Detalles de la respuesta
First, we need to calculate the interest on capital for both partners. Interest on Ogah's capital = 5% of 60,000 = 3,000 Interest on Ajem's capital = 5% of 65,000 = 3,250 Next, we need to calculate the interest on their drawings. Interest on Ogah's drawings = 3% of 20,000 = 600 Interest on Ajem's drawings = 3% of 30,000 = 900 Now, we can calculate the total amount of interest for each partner by adding the interest on their capital and the interest on their drawings. Total interest for Ogah = 3,000 + 600 = 3,600 Total interest for Ajem = 3,250 + 900 = 4,150 We can now calculate the adjusted capital for each partner by adding their capital account, current account balance, and subtracting their drawings and the interest on their drawings. Adjusted capital for Ogah = 60,000 + 40,000 - 20,000 - 600 = 79,400 Adjusted capital for Ajem = 65,000 + 50,000 - 30,000 - 900 = 84,100 The total adjusted capital for the partnership is the sum of the adjusted capital for both partners. Total adjusted capital = 79,400 + 84,100 = 163,500 Now, we can calculate each partner's share of the profit. Ogah's share of the profit = (2 / 5) x (100,000 - 10,000 - 3,600) = 51,150 Ajem's share of the profit = (3 / 5) x (100,000 - 10,000 - 4,150) = 48,850 Therefore, the answer is option A - 51,150.

Detalles de la respuesta
A general partner is a type of business partner whose liability goes beyond their capital. This means that if the business is sued or incurs debt, the general partner is personally responsible for paying those debts, even if they go beyond the amount of money they have invested in the business. In simple terms, a general partner is fully responsible for the financial obligations of the business, unlike a limited partner whose liability is limited to the amount of money they have invested. So, if you are a general partner in a business, you are responsible for all of the debts and obligations of the business, even if they are more than the amount of money you have invested.

A firm bought a lathe machine for Le 45,600 on 1s January 2015. The life span was estimated to be 20 years while scrap at the end of the period was valued at Le 1,600. It was to be depreciated by the fixed installment method.
The depreciation per annum is
Detalles de la respuesta
The fixed installment method of depreciation assumes that the asset loses an equal amount of value each year over its useful life. To determine the depreciation per annum using this method, we subtract the salvage value (scrap value) from the original cost of the asset and then divide the result by the useful life in years. In this case, the original cost of the lathe machine is Le 45,600, and the salvage value is Le 1,600. The useful life of the machine is 20 years. Therefore, the annual depreciation is: Depreciation = (Original cost - Salvage value) / Useful life Depreciation = (45,600 - 1,600) / 20 Depreciation = 44,000 / 20 Depreciation = 2,200 Therefore, the depreciation per annum for the lathe machine is Le 2,200.

Detalles de la respuesta
The amount of dividend declared is N200,000. To calculate this, you first need to find out the total value of the company's ordinary share capital, which is 1,000,000 shares x N2.00 per share = N2,000,000. Next, you take 10% of this amount to find the dividend, which is 10% of N2,000,000 = N200,000. So the directors of Olu Ltd. declared a dividend of N200,000.

Detalles de la respuesta
The balance on the bank statement would be less than the cash book balance if bank charges are deducted from the customer's account. The cash book balance is the record of all the money that has come into and gone out of a customer's account as recorded by the customer. However, the bank statement is a record of all transactions in a customer's account as recorded by the bank. When the bank deducts charges such as service fees or overdraft fees, these charges are not recorded in the customer's cash book, but they are recorded in the bank's records and will appear on the bank statement. This means that the balance on the bank statement will be lower than the balance recorded in the customer's cash book.

(a) Give reasons for including outstanding liabilities in the Balance Sheet
(b) How do you record an income generating activity of a bar in a not-for-profit-making organization:
(a) Outstanding liabilities are included in the balance sheet because they represent debts that a company owes to others and are expected to be paid in the future. Including these debts in the balance sheet provides an overall picture of the company's financial position, including its assets and obligations. Outstanding liabilities also serve as a basis for calculating a company's net worth, which is the difference between its total assets and total liabilities.
(b) To record an income generating activity of a bar in a not-for-profit-making organization, you would first record the revenue generated from the sale of drinks and food. This would be recorded in the revenue account. Then, you would subtract the expenses incurred from operating the bar, such as the cost of goods sold, salaries, rent, utilities, and other operating expenses. These expenses would be recorded in the appropriate expense accounts. The net income from the bar operation would then be recorded as part of the organization's overall net income, which would be reflected in the statement of activities or the income statement. It is important to note that in a not-for-profit organization, the purpose of generating income from activities like the bar is not to make a profit, but rather to support the organization's mission and programs.

(b) To record an income generating activity of a bar in a not-for-profit-making organization, you would first record the revenue generated from the sale of drinks and food. This would be recorded in the revenue account. Then, you would subtract the expenses incurred from operating the bar, such as the cost of goods sold, salaries, rent, utilities, and other operating expenses. These expenses would be recorded in the appropriate expense accounts. The net income from the bar operation would then be recorded as part of the organization's overall net income, which would be reflected in the statement of activities or the income statement.

(a) increase in provision for doubtful debts
(b) decrease in provision for doubtful debts
(c) provision for discount on debtors
(d) provision for discount on creditors
(e) provision for depreciation
(a) Increase in provision for doubtful debts: A provision for doubtful debts is an estimate of the amount of money that a company may not receive from its customers. If a company expects that the number of unpaid debts may increase, it will increase the provision for doubtful debts. This will result in a decrease in the profit of the company, as the increase in the provision will be considered as an expense in the income statement. In the final accounts, the increase in provision for doubtful debts will be shown as a deduction from the debtors in the balance sheet.
(b) Decrease in provision for doubtful debts: If the company's customers pay off their debts and the company no longer expects any bad debts, it may decrease the provision for doubtful debts. This will result in an increase in the profit of the company, as the decrease in the provision will be considered as an income in the income statement. In the final accounts, the decrease in provision for doubtful debts will be shown as an addition to the debtors in the balance sheet.
(c) Provision for discount on debtors: A provision for discount on debtors is an estimate of the amount of money that a company may have to give as a discount to its customers for paying their debts early. This provision is created to reflect the expected loss of income due to the discount. In the final accounts, the provision for discount on debtors will be shown as a deduction from the debtors in the balance sheet.
(d) Provision for discount on creditors: A provision for discount on creditors is an estimate of the amount of money that a company may have to pay as a discount to its suppliers for paying their debts early. This provision is created to reflect the expected loss of income due to the discount. In the final accounts, the provision for discount on creditors will be shown as an addition to the creditors in the balance sheet.
(e) Provision for depreciation: Depreciation is the decrease in the value of an asset over time due to wear and tear, obsolescence, or other factors. A provision for depreciation is created to reflect the decrease in the value of fixed assets, such as buildings, machinery, and vehicles. In the final accounts, the provision for depreciation will be shown as a deduction from the fixed assets in the balance sheet. The provision for depreciation is also shown as an expense in the income statement, which reduces the profit of the company.
