Answer Details
The revenue expenditure is the amount of money spent on the day-to-day running of an organization or business, including items such as salaries, supplies, and maintenance expenses. In this case, the revenue expenditure incurred by Kudi Local Government Council in 1995 is the sum of the payments made for salaries, drugs, and books. Therefore, the revenue expenditure for 1995 is: Revenue expenditure = Payment of salaries + Purchase of drugs for dispensaries + Purchase of books for Library Revenue expenditure = 140,000 + 80,000 + 30,000 Revenue expenditure = 250,000 Therefore, the correct answer is N220,000.

Question 6 Report
An expense becomes an accrual because it
Answer Details
An expense becomes an accrual because it has been incurred in a period, but the payment for it has not yet been made. In other words, it is an expense that has been recognized but not yet paid. Accrued expenses are recognized in the period in which they occur, regardless of when they are paid. This is important because it allows financial statements to show a more accurate picture of a company's financial position by recognizing all expenses that have been incurred, even if they have not yet been paid. Therefore, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are not correct because they do not fully capture the concept of accruals.
Question 7 Report
Which of the following is an advantage of the impurest system?
Answer Details
The advantage of the imprest system is that it enables the meeting of small items of expenditure. In this system, a fixed amount of money is given to a person known as the imprest holder to meet small expenses that occur regularly. When the imprest holder spends the money, they account for the expenditure and are reimbursed back to the original fixed amount. This system helps to ensure that small expenses are met without having to go through the full process of authorization and reimbursement, which can be time-consuming and costly. Thus, it is an advantage of the imprest system.
Question 8 Report
Use the following information to answer this question
An asset was bought on 1st January, 1992 for N20,000. Depreciation was provided for annually at 20% on cost. It was sold for N7,000 on 1st July, 1995.
Accumulated depreciation at the time of sale was
Answer Details
The annual depreciation rate for this asset is 20%, which means that every year, the value of the asset decreases by 20% of its original cost. Therefore, the accumulated depreciation for the asset at the time of sale can be calculated as follows: Depreciation for 1992 = N20,000 x 20% = N4,000 Depreciation for 1993 = N20,000 x 20% = N4,000 Depreciation for 1994 = N20,000 x 20% = N4,000 Depreciation for 1995 (up to 1st July) = N20,000 x 20% x 6/12 = N2,000 Total accumulated depreciation = N4,000 + N4,000 + N4,000 + N2,000 = N14,000 Therefore, the accumulated depreciation at the time of sale was N14,000.
Question 9 Report
Which of the following is a factory overhead?
Answer Details
Depreciation of factory equipment is a factory overhead. Factory overheads are indirect costs that are incurred during the production process but cannot be directly traced to a specific product or job. They are costs that are necessary to keep the factory running and producing goods. Depreciation is the systematic reduction in the value of an asset over time due to wear and tear or obsolescence. It is a non-cash expense that reflects the loss of value of the factory equipment and is therefore considered a factory overhead.
Question 10 Report
Which of the following best described the path of a transaction?
Answer Details
The correct answer is "Source documents to Journal to Ledger". When a transaction occurs, it is initially recorded on a source document such as a sales invoice or receipt. The information from the source document is then transferred to the journal as a journal entry, which summarizes the transaction. The journal entries are then posted to the ledger accounts, where each account is updated with the relevant information. Therefore, the correct path of a transaction is from source documents to journal to ledger.

Answer Details
The capital expenditure refers to the expenditure incurred on the acquisition or improvement of long-term assets such as land, building, machinery, etc. We can determine the capital expenditure of the club by identifying the items in the Receipts and Payments Account that relate to the acquisition or improvement of long-term assets. From the given information, we can see that there is an item called "Library books" with a value of N2,500. This item represents the purchase of a long-term asset (books for the club's library), which is a capital expenditure. Therefore, the capital expenditure of the club for the year was N2,500.
Question 15 Report

Answer Details
When a share is sold for less than its nominal value, the difference is called a "discount." Nominal value is the face value of a share or stock, and it represents the minimum amount for which the share can be issued. When a company issues shares at a price below their nominal or face value, it means that the shares are being sold at a discount. This can happen when a company needs to raise capital quickly or when the market conditions are not favorable. The amount of the discount is the difference between the nominal value of the share and the price at which it is being sold.

Answer Details
The purchase consideration is the amount paid by the buyer to acquire the business. In this case, the business was bought by issuing 20,000 ordinary shares of N1 each at a premium of 20 percent. The total amount of shares issued can be calculated as follows: 20,000 shares x N1 per share = N20,000 The premium on the shares can be calculated as follows: 20 percent x N20,000 = N4,000 Therefore, the total purchase consideration is the sum of the value of the shares and the premium on the shares, which is: N20,000 + N4,000 = N24,000 Therefore, the purchase consideration is N24,000.
Question 18 Report
Use the following information to answer this question
An asset was bought on 1st January, 1992 for N20,000. Depreciation was provided for annually at 20% on cost. It was sold for N7,000 on 1st July, 1995.
The profit on sale was
Answer Details
The asset was bought on 1st January, 1992 for N20,000. The depreciation rate is 20% per annum on cost, so the annual depreciation charge would be N4,000. The asset was sold on 1st July, 1995, so it was used for 3 years and 6 months, or 3.5 years. The total depreciation charged would be N4,000 x 3.5 = N14,000. The book value of the asset at the time of sale would be N20,000 - N14,000 = N6,000. The selling price of the asset was N7,000, so the profit on the sale would be N7,000 - N6,000 = N1,000. Therefore, the profit on the sale was N1,000. Option (E) is the correct answer.

The amount of capital expenditure for 1995 was
Answer Details
Capital expenditure is the money spent on acquiring, upgrading or maintaining fixed assets such as land, buildings, vehicles, and equipment that will provide economic benefit to the organization over a long period of time. From the information provided, the expenses for "Payment of salaries," "Purchase of drugs for dispensaries," "Purchase of books for Library," are revenue expenses as they are incurred in the day-to-day running of the Local Government Council. On the other hand, the expenses for "Sinking of wells" and "Extension of Council offices" are capital expenditures as they are long-term investments that will benefit the council for an extended period. Therefore, the total capital expenditure for 1995 is the sum of the expenses for "Sinking of wells" and "Extension of Council offices," which is N70,000 + N160,000 = N230,000. Hence, the answer is N230,000.

Additional Information (i) No closing stock
(ii) Common expenses are to be shared in the ratio sales
The profit of the Stationery Department is
Answer Details
To find the profit of the Stationery Department, we need to calculate the gross profit and then deduct the common expenses shared in the ratio of sales. First, let's calculate the gross profit for the Stationery Department: Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = Gross Profit N6,000 - N2,800 = N3,200 Next, let's calculate the total common expenses: Wages of shoe packers + Salaries = N600 + N1,200 = N1,800 These common expenses need to be shared between the Footwears and Stationery departments in the ratio of sales. Sales ratio = Stationery Department Sales : Footwears Department Sales = N6,000 : N1,600 = 15 : 4 To calculate the share of the Stationery Department, we multiply the total common expenses by the ratio of Stationery Department Sales to total Sales: Share of Stationery Department = Total Common Expenses x (Stationery Department Sales / Total Sales) = N1,800 x (6,000 / 7,600) = N1,421.05 (rounded to the nearest kobo) Finally, we can calculate the net profit of the Stationery Department by deducting the share of common expenses from the gross profit: Net profit of the Stationery Department = Gross profit - Share of common expenses = N3,200 - N1,421.05 = N1,778.95 (rounded to the nearest kobo) Therefore, the profit of the Stationery Department is N1,778.95. The answer closest to this is N1,880, which may be due to rounding errors in the calculation or incorrect sharing of common expenses.

Answer Details
Subscription in advance is treated as a current liability in the Balance sheet of non-profit making organizations. This is because the organization has received the payment for the subscription in advance but the services or benefits will be provided in the future. Therefore, it is a liability that the organization owes to its members until the services or benefits are provided. Once the services or benefits are provided, the subscription in advance will be transferred to the revenue side of the Income and Expenditure account as income.

The balance of 450 in the above accounts represents
Answer Details
The balance of 450 in the Creditors Control Account represents a current liability. The Creditors Control Account is a summary account that shows the total amount owed to all creditors. The balance of 450 on the credit side of the account represents the total amount owed to creditors at the end of the accounting period. This balance is carried forward to the next period as the balance brought down (b/d) on the debit side of the account. Therefore, the 450 represents the amount that the company owes to its creditors as a current liability.

A business whose assets consisted of stock N15,000 and debtors N8,000 was bought by issuing 20,000 ordinary shares of N1 each at a premium of 20 percent.
The amount of goodwill was
Answer Details
Goodwill is the amount of money that a buyer is willing to pay over and above the net assets of a business. To calculate the goodwill in this scenario, we need to find the total value of the net assets and subtract it from the total cost of acquiring the business. The total value of the net assets of the business is the sum of the stock and debtors, which is N15,000 + N8,000 = N23,000. The total cost of acquiring the business is the value of the shares issued, which is 20,000 x N1.20 = N24,000. Therefore, the goodwill is the difference between the total cost of acquiring the business and the total value of its net assets, which is N24,000 - N23,000 = N1,000. Hence, the amount of goodwill is N1,000.
Question 41 Report

An asset was bought on 1st January, 1992 for N20,000. Depreciation was provided for annually at 20% on cost. It was sold for N7,000 on 1st July, 1995.
The net book value at the time of sale was
Answer Details
The asset was purchased for N20,000 and depreciated at a rate of 20% per annum on cost. After three and a half years, the total depreciation provided would be 20% * 3.5 = 70%. The accumulated depreciation would be N20,000 * 70% = N14,000. The net book value at the time of sale can be calculated by subtracting the accumulated depreciation from the original cost of the asset. Net Book Value = Cost of Asset - Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value = N20,000 - N14,000 = N6,000 Therefore, the net book value at the time of sale was N6,000. N6,000, is the correct answer.

Which of the following is not a capital expenditure to a local government?
Answer Details
Among the options given, the item that is not a capital expenditure to a local government is "drugs". Capital expenditures are expenditures that are made on the acquisition, construction, or improvement of long-term assets, such as buildings, equipment, and land, that will provide benefits over an extended period of time. Items such as beds, theatre equipment, incubators, and x-ray machines are typically large, expensive assets that would be considered capital expenditures for a local government, as they would provide benefits over a period of years. However, drugs are consumable items that are used up in the process of providing healthcare services. They are typically purchased and used within a short period of time and do not provide benefits over an extended period. Therefore, drugs would not be considered a capital expenditure for a local government.
