Cheques received from debtors         255,000
Total debtors c/d 31/12/00                    15,000

Calculate the sales figure

Détails de la réponse

To calculate the sales figure, we need to determine the amount that was received from the debtors. We can do this by subtracting the total debtors b/d 31/12/99 from the total debtors c/d 31/12/00 and adding the cheques received from debtors. ((15,000 - 25,000) + 255,000) = 245,000 So, the sales figure is ₦245,000.

Détails de la réponse

The share premium account would be credited with the application and allotment of ₦375,000. This can be calculated as follows: - Total amount received for the 1,250,000 shares allotted: 70,000 x 1,250,000 = ₦87,500,000 - Total amount received for the 120,000 shares refunded: 30,000 x 120,000 = ₦3,600,000 - Total premium received: ₦87,500,000 + ₦3,600,000 = ₦91,100,000 - Total premium received per share: ₦91,100,000 / 1,250,000 = ₦72.88 - Premium received in excess of the issue price: ₦72.88 - ₦15 = ₦57.88 - Total premium received in excess of the issue price: ₦57.88 x 1,250,000 = ₦72,350,000 - The share premium account would be credited with the application and allotment of ₦72,350,000.

To find the net profit made by Department A, we need to determine the values of the missing amounts in the table. According to the tradition of the organization, expenses are apportioned in the proportion 60%:40% for A and B respectively. We can use this information to calculate the missing amounts in the table: - Salaries and wages: ₦3,000 x 60% = ₦1,800 for Department A, and ₦3,000 x 40% = ₦1,200 for Department B. - Electricity: ₦2,000 x 60% = ₦1,200 for Department A, and ₦2,000 x 40% = ₦800 for Department B. - Depreciation: ₦1,000 x 60% = ₦600 for Department A, and ₦1,000 x 40% = ₦400 for Department B. Now that we have determined the values of the missing amounts, we can calculate the net profit made by Department A: Gross profit: ₦6,000 Less: Salaries and wages: ₦1,800 Less: Electricity: ₦1,200 Less: Depreciation: ₦600 Net profit: ₦6,000 - ₦1,800 - ₦1,200 - ₦600 = ₦2,400 Therefore, the net profit made by Department A is ₦2,400.
