The account where the profit are distributed to the partner in their profit sharing ratio in partnership
Antwoorddetails
In a partnership, the account where the profit is distributed to the partners according to their profit sharing ratio is called the **appropriation account**. The appropriation account is a separate account created to record the distribution of profit among the partners. It is prepared after the preparation of the trading account, profit and loss account, and balance sheet. Here's a simple breakdown of the other options and their roles in the partnership: - The **trading account** is prepared to calculate the gross profit or loss of the partnership. It includes revenue from sales, cost of goods sold, and any other trading-related expenses. - The **profit and loss account** is prepared to determine the net profit or loss of the partnership. It includes all the operating expenses, such as salaries, rent, advertising, and depreciation. - The **balance sheet** is a financial statement that shows the financial position of the partnership at a specific point in time. It includes the assets, liabilities, and capital of the partnership. So, to summarize, while the trading account, profit and loss account, and balance sheet provide information about the overall financial performance and position of the partnership, the appropriation account specifically deals with the distribution of profit among the partners based on their profit sharing ratio.

Vraag 7 Verslag
Which of these is the main source document for recording cash paid into bank?
Antwoorddetails
The main source document for recording cash paid into a bank is the pay-in-slip.
A pay-in-slip is a form provided by the bank that is filled out by the depositor when cash is deposited into their bank account. It includes important details such as the depositor's name, account number, and the amount of cash being deposited. The pay-in-slip also contains fields for the bank teller to acknowledge the deposit and stamp it.
When a person or business receives cash payments, they need to deposit that cash into their bank account. To do this, they would typically visit the bank and fill out a pay-in-slip with all the necessary information. The pay-in-slip serves as a record of the transaction and provides proof of the deposit made.
Unlike the other options mentioned, an invoice is a document that is issued by a seller to a buyer, indicating the products or services provided and outlining the amount due. A credit note is a document issued by a seller to a buyer to acknowledge a refund or credit towards a future purchase. A cheque book contains blank cheques that can be used to make payments from the account.
In summary, while invoices, credit notes, and cheque books have their own purposes, the pay-in-slip is the specific document designed for recording cash paid into a bank. It is important to use the correct source document to maintain accurate records of financial transactions.

Salaries in arrears is treated in the balance sheet as a
Antwoorddetails
Salaries in arrears are treated in the balance sheet as a **current liability**. A balance sheet is a financial statement that shows a company's financial position at a specific point in time. It consists of three main sections: assets, liabilities, and owners' equity. Salaries in arrears are payments that a company owes to its employees for work that has already been performed but not yet paid. This is usually the result of a timing difference between when the work was done and when the payroll is processed. Since these unpaid salaries are obligations that need to be settled within one year, they are classified as current liabilities. Current liabilities are debts or obligations that must be paid within a year or the normal operating cycle of a business, whichever is longer. By reporting salaries in arrears as a current liability on the balance sheet, it provides information to stakeholders, such as investors and creditors, about the company's short-term financial obligations. It helps to give a more accurate picture of the company's financial health and its ability to meet its current obligations. Therefore, salaries in arrears are considered a current liability on the balance sheet.

Which of the following is charged to trading account?
Antwoorddetails
A trading account is a financial statement that shows the profit or loss of a business through its trading activities. It includes all the revenues and expenses directly related to the buying and selling of goods. Out of the options provided, the expenses that are charged to the trading account are: 1. Carriage Inwards: Carriage inwards refers to the transportation costs incurred in bringing goods into the business. It can include expenses such as freight charges, import duties, and handling fees. These expenses are directly related to the purchase of goods and are considered a part of the cost of inventory. Hence, carriage inwards is charged to the trading account. 2. Carriage Outwards: Carriage outwards refers to the transportation costs incurred in delivering goods from the business to the customers. It includes expenses such as delivery charges, packaging costs, and shipping fees. Carriage outwards is not directly related to the purchase of goods but is rather an expense incurred in selling them. Therefore, carriage outwards is not charged to the trading account. 3. Rent: Rent refers to the cost of occupying a property for business purposes. Rent is not directly related to the buying and selling of goods, but rather to the use of the premises where the business operates. Hence, rent is not charged to the trading account. 4. Discount Allowed: Discount allowed represents the reduction in the selling price of goods given to customers as an incentive or reward. It is a reduction in revenue and does not directly relate to the cost of inventory or the buying and selling of goods. Therefore, discount allowed is not charged to the trading account. In summary, the expenses that are charged to the trading account are carriage inwards. Rent, discount allowed, and carriage outwards are not charged to the trading account as they are not directly related to the buying and selling of goods.

Income and Expenditure account is the same as the --------- of a sole trader
Antwoorddetails
The correct answer is profit and loss account.
The Income and Expenditure account is the same thing as the profit and loss account for a sole trader.
The profit and loss account shows all the revenue and expenses incurred by the sole trader during a specific period of time, usually a year. It includes all the sales or income earned by the sole trader, as well as the costs and expenses incurred in running the business.
The revenue or income includes sales from products or services, any interest earned, and other sources of income. The expenses include costs incurred in producing or providing the products or services, wages or salaries of employees, rent, utilities, and other operating expenses.
By subtracting the total expenses from the total revenue, the profit or loss for the sole trader can be calculated. If the revenue is higher than the expenses, it represents a profit, while if the expenses exceed the revenue, it represents a loss.
In summary, the profit and loss account, or the Income and Expenditure account, for a sole trader shows the financial performance of the business by summarizing the revenues and expenses over a specific period. It helps the sole trader assess the profitability of the business and make informed decisions.

Which of the following is prepared to ascertain the trader's capital under incomplete records?
Antwoorddetails
The correct answer is the statement of affairs.
The statement of affairs is a financial statement prepared to determine the trader's capital when complete records are not available. It is used in situations where a business does not keep detailed records of its transactions.
Statement of affairs helps determine the value of assets (what the business owns) and liabilities (what the business owes) at a specific point in time. It shows the overall financial position of the business by listing the assets and liabilities side by side.
By comparing the total value of assets with the total value of liabilities, we can calculate the trader's capital, which represents the difference between the two. It provides an estimate of the business owner's investment or equity in the business.
Since incomplete records lack a detailed record of transactions and financial data, the statement of affairs becomes a helpful tool to assess the trader's capital and provide a snapshot of the business's financial health.

Antwoorddetails
The amount ₦16,387.50 described as "Bank" in the Sales Ledger Control Account represents receipts from all debtors of the business.
In accounting, a Sales Ledger Control Account is used to keep track of the total amount owed by the customers (debtors) of a business. It is a summary account that consolidates all the individual customer accounts.
When a customer makes a payment, it is recorded as a receipt in the Sales Ledger Control Account. This includes payments received from both trade debtors (customers who owe money for credit sales) and cash sales (sales made in cash).
The ₦16,387.50 recorded as "Bank" in the Sales Ledger Control Account includes all the cash received from trade debtors as well as the cash sales made during the month, including any discounts given. Therefore, the correct answer is receipts from all debtors of the business.
It is important to note that the other options provided - receipts from trade debtors only, cash sales for the month including discount, and cash sales for the month excluding discount - are not accurate descriptions of the ₦16,387.50 recorded as "Bank" in the Sales Ledger Control Account.

Antwoorddetails
The purchases ledger control account is also known as the creditors control account.
Let me explain it simply for you.
In a business, the purchases ledger records all the transactions related to buying goods or services on credit. It keeps track of the amounts owed to suppliers or vendors. Now, the purchases ledger control account is a summary account that helps in monitoring and controlling these transactions.
Think of it as a big picture view. The purchases ledger control account combines all the individual creditor balances from the purchases ledger. It shows the total amount the business owes to its creditors at any given time.
By using the purchases ledger control account, the business can easily track the total purchases made on credit and manage its outstanding payments to suppliers. It provides a summary of the business's total credit purchases and the total amount owed to creditors.
So, in summary, the purchases ledger control account is the same as the creditors control account because it represents a summary of all the amounts owed to suppliers or vendors.

The accounting system in which only one aspect of transaction is recorded is
Antwoorddetails
The accounting system in which only one aspect of a transaction is recorded is called single entry accounting. In this system, only the cash or assets received or paid are recorded, without recording the corresponding liabilities or expenses. In single entry accounting, each transaction is recorded only once, typically in a single column cash book. This means that there is no systematic tracking of the financial impact of transactions on both sides of the equation (assets = liabilities + equity). It is important to note that single entry accounting is generally considered less comprehensive and reliable compared to double entry accounting. Double entry accounting, on the other hand, is a more complete and accurate system where each transaction is recorded twice—once as a debit and once as a credit. This allows for a better understanding of the financial health of a business and provides a basis for generating accurate financial statements. Overall, single entry accounting is a simpler but less robust approach to recording financial transactions, as it does not provide a complete picture of a company's financial position and performance.

The following appears in the trading account except
Antwoorddetails
The item that does not appear in the trading account is **carriage outward**. The trading account is a financial statement that shows the calculation of gross profit or loss by comparing the value of goods bought (cost of goods sold) with the value of goods sold (sales). Let's break down the other three options: 1. **Carriage inward**: This refers to the transportation cost incurred to bring goods into the business. It is considered as part of the cost of goods sold, as it directly relates to acquiring the goods for sale. 2. **Opening stock**: This represents the value of goods held in the beginning of the accounting period, before any sales or purchases. It is included in the trading account as it helps determine the cost of goods sold. 3. **Sales**: This represents the total revenue generated from selling goods or services. It is a crucial component of the trading account since it represents the value of goods sold during the period. However, **carriage outward** does not belong in the trading account. It refers to the transportation cost incurred when delivering goods to customers. Carriage outward is not directly related to the cost of goods sold or the calculation of gross profit/loss. Therefore, it is not included in the trading account. In summary, the trading account includes carriage inward, opening stock, and sales, while carriage outward is not part of it.

Subscription in advance is treated in the balance sheet as a
Antwoorddetails
Subscription in advance is treated in the balance sheet as a current liability.
This is because subscription in advance represents money that has been paid by customers for products or services that will be delivered or rendered at a future date. Since the provision of these products or services has not yet occurred, the company has an obligation to fulfill this commitment in the future.
As a current liability, subscription in advance is considered a short-term obligation that is expected to be settled within the next operating cycle, typically within one year. It is categorized as a liability because the company owes a future performance to its customers.
On the balance sheet, current liabilities are listed under the liabilities section and represent obligations that are expected to be settled in the near future using current assets or by creating new liabilities. Examples of other current liabilities include accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans.
It is important for companies to accurately present subscription in advance as a current liability on the balance sheet, as it reflects the company's financial obligations and helps provide a clearer picture of its overall financial health and future cash flow obligations.

In company accounting, dividend payments are typically effected in the "appropriation" account. The appropriation account is used to record the allocation of profits or income within a company. It is where the company's board of directors decides how to distribute the company's earnings to its shareholders. Dividend payments are a way for a company to distribute its profits to its shareholders. By making dividend payments, the company shares a portion of its earnings with its owners. When a company decides to pay dividends, the amount to be distributed is transferred from the retained earnings account (which is part of the equity section of the balance sheet) to the appropriation account. This transfer signifies that the profits are being allocated for distribution as dividends. By using the appropriation account for dividend payments, the company can clearly track and document the distribution of profits to shareholders. This helps provide transparency and ensure that dividends are properly accounted for in the company's financial records. To summarize, dividend payments in a company are typically recorded in the "appropriation" account, where the allocation of the company's earnings to shareholders is documented.

Antwoorddetails
To calculate the amount of preference shares dividends payable at the end of the year, we need to consider the number of preference shares and the dividend rate. In the given information, we know that Larry Limited has 150,000 preference shares of ₦1 each fully paid. The dividend rate for these preference shares is mentioned as 5%. To calculate the total dividend payable for the preference shares, we can multiply the number of preference shares by the dividend rate. 150,000 preference shares x 5% dividend rate = 7,500. Therefore, the amount of preference shares dividends payable at the end of the year is ₦7,500.

Antwoorddetails
A journal is a book of original entry where all the financial transactions of a business are recorded in a chronological order. It serves as a primary record-keeping tool for accounting purposes. The main purpose of a journal is to provide a detailed record of each transaction that occurs in a business. This allows for accurate and transparent financial reporting and analysis. The journal typically has several headings to organize the information recorded. These headings include the date, debit, credit, and discount. - The "date" heading is used to record the date on which the transaction occurred. This is important for reference and to maintain a chronological order of the transactions. - The "debit" heading is used to record the amount of money or value that is going out of the business due to the transaction. This could include expenses, assets being sold, or liabilities being paid off. - The "credit" heading is used to record the amount of money or value that is coming into the business due to the transaction. This could include revenue, loans, or other sources of income. - Finally, the "discount" heading is used to record any discounts given or received during the transaction. Discounts are often given to customers as an incentive or to settle outstanding debts. Therefore, based on the given options, the heading that would not typically be found in a journal is "discount." This is because the journal mainly focuses on recording and summarizing financial transactions, and discounts are not directly related to the core financial operations of a business.

Which of the following is not charged to manufacturing account?
Antwoorddetails
In a manufacturing process, various expenses are incurred for producing goods. These expenses can be classified into two categories: direct expenses and indirect expenses. Direct expenses are those expenses that are directly related to the production process and can be easily identified with a specific product or job. They are charged to the manufacturing account because they directly contribute to the cost of production. Examples of direct expenses include raw materials, factory wages, and direct expenses. On the other hand, indirect expenses are those expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a specific product or job. These expenses are incurred to facilitate the overall manufacturing process but cannot be easily allocated to a specific product. Indirect expenses, such as distribution expenses, are not charged directly to the manufacturing account. Instead, they are accounted for separately in the general expenses or overhead account. Coming back to the question, out of the given options, **distribution expenses** is not charged to the manufacturing account. Distribution expenses include costs incurred for storing, packaging, and transporting finished goods to customers. While these expenses are essential for selling and distributing the products, they are not directly related to the manufacturing process itself. Therefore, they are not included in the manufacturing account, which focuses solely on the cost of production. In summary, raw materials, factory wages, and direct expenses are all charged to the manufacturing account because they directly contribute to the cost of production. Distribution expenses, on the other hand, are not charged to the manufacturing account as they are considered indirect expenses related to the selling and distribution of finished goods.

A control account is a summary account that represents a group of similar transactions or balances. It is used to simplify the management and analysis of a large number of individual accounts. The advantage of a control account is that it provides a way to monitor and track the overall balance or activity within a group of related accounts. It helps to ensure accuracy and identify any discrepancies or errors. Now, let's analyze the options provided one by one to determine which one is NOT an advantage of a control account: 1. **Difficulty in committing fraud**: This is indeed an advantage of a control account. By consolidating and summarizing the information from multiple accounts, it becomes more difficult for individuals to manipulate or misrepresent the data for fraudulent purposes. 2. **It can be used to detect missing figures**: This is also an advantage of a control account. By comparing the total balance of the control account with the sum of the individual accounts it represents, any missing figures or discrepancies can be easily identified. 3. **Helps to determine profit and loss**: This is another advantage of a control account. By summarizing the transactions related to revenue and expenses, a control account can provide an overview of the profit or loss generated by a particular area or department. 4. **Helps in locating errors**: This is also an advantage of a control account. By comparing the balances of the control account with the detailed records, any errors or discrepancies can be quickly identified and addressed. Based on the analysis of the options, it can be concluded that the **difficulty in committing fraud** is not an advantage of a control account. In fact, it is an advantage because it makes it more difficult for fraud to occur.

Antwoorddetails
In a non-profit organization, the income and expenses are recorded in a specific financial statement called the "income and expenditure account." This account is similar to the profit and loss account in a profit-oriented organization because it serves the same purpose of tracking financial activities and determining the financial position of the organization.
Just like the profit and loss account, the income and expenditure account shows the income and expenses of the non-profit organization over a specific period. It helps to calculate whether the organization has made a surplus (income exceeding expenses) or a deficit (expenses exceeding income).
The income and expenditure account: - Records all the revenues and gains received by the non-profit organization during a particular period, including donations, grants, membership fees, and program revenues. - Itemizes all the expenses and losses incurred by the organization, such as salaries, rent, utilities, insurance, and other operational costs. - Calculates the net surplus or deficit by subtracting the total expenses from the total income. A surplus indicates that the organization has generated more income than it has spent, while a deficit suggests that the expenses have exceeded the income. - Provides valuable insights into the overall financial health and sustainability of the non-profit organization.
Therefore, of the given options, income and expenditure account is the one that shares the same features as the profit and loss account in a non-profit organization.

Antwoorddetails
The concept that recognizes the assumption of a business continuing to exist into the foreseeable future is called "going concern." This concept assumes that a business will not be liquidated or cease to operate in the near future. It is based on the belief that businesses are established with the intention of operating indefinitely, unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise. The "going concern" concept is important because it affects how a business's financial statements are prepared. When preparing financial statements, the assumption is made that the business will continue its operations and fulfill its commitments. This assumption allows the use of historical cost accounting, where assets and liabilities are recorded at their original cost. In simpler terms, the "going concern" concept basically means that when a business is being evaluated, it is assumed to be an ongoing entity with no immediate plans of shutting down. This assumption allows for consistent and reliable financial reporting, as it reflects the expectation that the business will continue its operations and meet its obligations in the future.
