Détails de la réponse
Advertising expenses incurred on a product in a business organization should be charged to the Sales department. The purpose of advertising is to promote a product or service to potential customers, which makes it an important part of the sales process. By generating interest in the product, advertising can help to increase sales and revenue. Therefore, advertising expenses are considered a selling expense and should be charged to the Sales department. This department is responsible for the promotion and sale of the product, and as such, it is appropriate to allocate the cost of advertising to this department. The Production department is responsible for manufacturing the product, while the Purchase department is responsible for acquiring the materials and supplies needed for production. Neither of these departments is directly involved in the sales process, which means that it would not be appropriate to charge advertising expenses to them. Finally, the Administration department is responsible for managing the overall operations of the business, including finance, human resources, and legal affairs. While advertising is an important part of running a successful business, it is not typically considered to be an administrative expense.

Question 6 Rapport
In order to make the cash book balance equal to the bank statement, it is usually to add?
Détails de la réponse
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the cash book balance to reflect the total amount of funds the organization actually has, even if they haven't yet been withdrawn from the bank.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.

Question 9 Rapport
The partnership deed normally specifies?
Détails de la réponse
A partnership deed is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions agreed upon by partners in a partnership. It is designed to provide clarity and prevent disputes between partners. The partnership deed typically specifies how profits or losses are to be shared between the partners. This includes the percentage of profits or losses that each partner is entitled to receive, and how they are to be distributed. The deed may also specify the capital that each partner is required to contribute annually, as well as any conditions that must be met in order for additional capital to be contributed. While the partnership deed may address how salaries are paid to partners, it typically does not specify how salaries are paid to employees. This is because employees are not typically considered partners in a partnership. Finally, the partnership deed may outline the profit that the partnership aims to earn annually, but this is not always the case. Some partnerships may not have a specific profit goal, while others may have more ambitious targets. In summary, the partnership deed typically specifies how profits or losses are to be shared and the capital to be contributed annually. It may also include other provisions that are important to the partners, such as how the partnership will be managed and what happens in the event of a partner's death or retirement.
Question 10 Rapport
Which of the following is a conversion cost?
Détails de la réponse
A conversion cost is a manufacturing cost that is incurred in the process of converting raw materials into finished goods. It includes the expenses related to the direct labor and factory overhead used in the production process. Out of the options given, wages would be considered a conversion cost. Wages refer to the payment made to workers who are directly involved in the manufacturing process. These workers are typically responsible for transforming the raw materials into finished goods, which makes their wages a necessary part of the conversion process. Factory overhead, which refers to the indirect costs associated with manufacturing, would also be considered a conversion cost. This includes expenses such as rent, utilities, and equipment maintenance, which are necessary to keep the production process running smoothly. On the other hand, purchases and material costs are not considered conversion costs. Purchases refer to the amount paid for raw materials and other items that are used in the production process, while material costs are the costs associated with the raw materials themselves. While both of these costs are necessary for production to occur, they are not directly related to the conversion process itself.

Use the information above to answer the following question.
What is the gross profit margin?
Détails de la réponse
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 14 Rapport
Which of the following is not an inventory costing method?
Détails de la réponse
The inventory costing method that is not a recognized method is "LILA." This is because "LILA" is not a common inventory costing method used in accounting practices, and it is not a recognized acronym or abbreviation for any known costing method. In contrast, FIFO, LIFO, and the average cost method are all well-known and widely used inventory costing methods in accounting. FIFO stands for "First-In, First-Out," and it means that the first items added to inventory are the first ones sold, while the newer items are sold later. LIFO stands for "Last-In, First-Out," and it means that the most recent items added to inventory are the first ones sold, while older items are sold later. The average cost method takes the average cost of all items in inventory and uses that cost to calculate the value of goods sold and the value of ending inventory. In summary, while FIFO, LIFO, and the average cost method are all recognized inventory costing methods, "LILA" is not a commonly used or recognized inventory costing method.
Question 15 Rapport
Why are adjustments in the profit and loss account necessary?
Détails de la réponse
The profit and loss account is a financial statement that shows a company's revenues, expenses, and profits over a particular period. The purpose of this statement is to give an overview of the company's financial performance during that period. However, it's not always straightforward to determine the exact amount of income and expenses for a particular period, which is why adjustments are necessary. Adjustments are necessary to ascertain the actual expenses incurred and income earned during the year. This involves adjusting the revenue and expenses figures to reflect the actual amounts earned or incurred during the year, including any amounts that have not been received or paid but are still owed or owing. For example, if a company has sold goods to a customer on credit, the revenue from that sale will not be reflected in the profit and loss account until the payment is received. Similarly, if the company has received goods or services from a supplier but has not yet paid for them, the expense will not be reflected in the profit and loss account until the payment is made. Adjustments are also necessary to show the provisions made during the year. Provisions are amounts set aside to cover potential future expenses or losses. For example, a company may set aside a provision for bad debts to cover potential losses from customers who are unlikely to pay. In conclusion, adjustments in the profit and loss account are necessary to provide an accurate representation of the company's financial performance during the period. These adjustments reflect the actual expenses incurred and income earned during the year, as well as any provisions made for potential future expenses or losses.
Question 16 Rapport
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?
Détails de la réponse
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.

The company's earnings yield is? |
Détails de la réponse
The earnings yield is a measure of the return on investment for a company's earnings. It is calculated by dividing the earnings per share by the market price per share, and expressing the result as a percentage. In this case, Tanko Ltd's earnings per share is 47k (0.47 Naira), and its market price per share is NM1.50 (1.50 Naira). So, the earnings yield can be calculated as follows: Earnings yield = (Earnings per share / Market price per share) x 100% = (0.47 / 1.50) x 100% = 31.33% Therefore, the earnings yield for Tanko Ltd is 31.33%, which means that for every Naira invested in the company's stock, investors can expect a return of 31.33 Naira in earnings.

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?
Détails de la réponse
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.

Détails de la réponse
The cost of rent can be apportioned to all departments on the basis of the space occupied by each department. For example, if a company has three departments and Department A occupies 40% of the total office space, Department B occupies 30%, and Department C occupies 30%, then the cost of rent can be apportioned accordingly. If the total cost of rent is $10,000 per month, then Department A would be responsible for $4,000 (i.e., 40% of $10,000), Department B would be responsible for $3,000 (i.e., 30% of $10,000), and Department C would be responsible for $3,000 (i.e., 30% of $10,000). This method of apportionment is fair because each department is responsible for the amount of space it occupies and therefore the amount of rent it incurs. Using other criteria such as the number of employees, stock value or wages, may not accurately reflect the actual amount of space used by each department and could lead to unfair distribution of rent expenses.

Détails de la réponse
Departmentalization of accounts is useful because it shows the overall performance of a division. It allows a company to track the financial performance of individual departments or divisions within the company, providing insight into which areas of the business are performing well and which ones need improvement. By analyzing financial data for each department, managers can make informed decisions about allocating resources and making changes to improve overall company performance. This approach helps to ensure that each department is held accountable for its performance, and that managers have the information they need to make effective decisions about the allocation of resources. Ultimately, this can lead to improved financial performance for the entire company.
Question 25 Rapport
The amount called in respect of a share but not paid before or on the date fixed for payment is referred to as:
Détails de la réponse
The amount called in respect of a share but not paid before or on the date fixed for payment is referred to as a "call in arrears". When a company issues shares, it may require shareholders to pay for them in installments. These installments are known as "calls" and the amount that is due but not paid on the due date is called a "call in arrears". For example, let's say a company issues 100 shares with a nominal value of $10 per share. The company may require shareholders to pay for the shares in two installments, with $5 due on the issue of the share and $5 due in six months' time. If a shareholder pays only $4 on the due date of the second installment, they would have a call in arrears of $1. It is important for companies to keep track of calls in arrears because they represent unpaid capital that the company is entitled to collect. The company can take legal action to recover the amount owed, or it may declare the shares forfeited if the shareholder fails to pay the amount due within a specified period of time. In summary, a call in arrears is the amount that a shareholder owes to a company for a share that has been issued but not fully paid for on the due date. It represents unpaid capital that the company is entitled to collect, and the company may take legal action or declare the shares forfeited if the shareholder fails to pay the amount due.

Détails de la réponse
The office responsible for ascertaining whether all public expenditures and appropriations are in line with approved guidelines is the Auditor General. The Auditor General is an independent body that audits and reports on the government's financial statements, ensuring that public expenditures are legal and authorized, and are within budgeted amounts. The Auditor General is responsible for reviewing and examining all financial records of the government, ensuring that financial transactions are recorded accurately, and that financial reporting is transparent and in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. The Auditor General is usually appointed by the government, and the office is independent of any particular government department. This independence ensures that the Auditor General can operate impartially and without undue influence from any particular government agency. The Auditor General is a vital part of ensuring the accountability and transparency of government finances and plays a critical role in maintaining public trust in government institutions.

Détails de la réponse
Based on the given information, the term that best describes the scenario is "merger". A merger is a business consolidation that involves the combination of two or more companies into a single new entity. In this case, Bala Ltd acquired the business of Bello Ltd, which means that Bello Ltd is no longer operating as a separate company. Instead, Bello Ltd's assets, liabilities, and operations have been merged with those of Bala Ltd to form a single new entity. It's important to note that a merger can take many forms, and the specific legal and financial details of the transaction can vary. However, the key idea is that two or more companies combine to form a new, larger entity.
Question 29 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
The current growth in the volume of trading and financial dealings in Nigeria is mainly helped by increased financial activities. Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of financial institutions, such as banks and mobile money operators, offering various financial products and services. This has made it easier for businesses and individuals to access credit, make payments, and conduct other financial transactions. Moreover, the rise of digital technologies has further facilitated financial activities, allowing people to conduct transactions online and in real-time. This has also helped to reduce the cost and time required to conduct financial transactions, making it more convenient for businesses and individuals to engage in trade. While government intervention may have played a role in creating an enabling environment for financial activities, such as through the introduction of policies and regulations, it is ultimately the increased availability and accessibility of financial services that have driven the growth of trading and financial dealings in Nigeria.

Détails de la réponse
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.

Calculate the cost of goods sold
Détails de la réponse
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to find the cost of goods available and then subtract the closing stock. The cost of goods available is found by adding the opening stock to the cost of purchases: 32,000 + 39,000 = 71,000 The cost of goods sold is found by subtracting the closing stock from the cost of goods available: 71,000 - 9,000 = 62,000 So, the cost of goods sold is ₦62,000.
Question 33 Rapport
The excess of sales over cost of goods sold is?
Détails de la réponse
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.

Détails de la réponse
In reconciling the branch and head office accounts, remittance in transit in the branch books is treated as a debit entry. Remittance in transit refers to funds that have been sent from the branch to the head office, but have not yet been recorded in the head office's books. When reconciling the accounts, this amount is recorded as a debit in the branch's books because the branch has already sent the funds, but they have not yet been received and recorded by the head office. The debit entry in the branch's books serves to reduce the branch's cash balance, while the corresponding credit entry in the head office's books, when it is eventually recorded, will increase the head office's cash balance. This treatment of remittance in transit as a debit entry is a common practice in accounting and helps to ensure that the accounts are reconciled accurately and that the cash balances in both the branch and head office are correctly reflected.
Question 36 Rapport
Calls in advance are treated in the balance sheet as_______
Détails de la réponse
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.
