WAEC SSCE - Financial Accounting - 2004

Which of the following is correct about cost of goods sold?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct option about the cost of goods sold is: "opening stock + purchases - closing stock". This is because cost of goods sold is the total cost incurred in acquiring or producing the goods that were sold during a given accounting period. It includes the cost of the opening stock at the beginning of the period, the cost of any purchases made during the period, and the cost of the closing stock at the end of the period. By subtracting the value of the closing stock from the total of the opening stock and purchases, we get the cost of goods sold.

Net debtors is

Awọn alaye Idahun

Net debtors is the amount of debtors that a company expects to collect after accounting for the estimated bad debts. In other words, it is the amount of debtors after subtracting the provision for bad debts. Therefore, the correct option is "debtors less provision for bad debts".

An expense is said to be revenue in nature if it

Awọn alaye Idahun

An expense is said to be revenue in nature if it adds or contributes to the operating income of the business. This means that the expense is directly related to the revenue-generating activities of the business and is necessary for the day-to-day operations. Examples of revenue in nature expenses include salaries, wages, rent, and utilities, among others. These expenses are necessary for the production of goods or services and are incurred during the normal course of business operations. By contrast, capital expenses are expenditures made on fixed assets or to acquire long-term assets and are not considered to be revenue in nature.

Which of the following terms describes the provision made for the loss in the value of an asset that has a legal life span?

Awọn alaye Idahun

Depreciation is the term that describes the provision made for the loss in the value of an asset that has a legal life span. Depreciation is a process by which the cost of a tangible asset is allocated over its useful life. The value of an asset decreases with time and usage, and so depreciation is used to account for this decrease in value. It is a non-cash expense, meaning that it does not involve an actual cash outlay, but rather an accounting charge that reduces the book value of the asset over time. This reduction in the book value is considered a provision for the eventual replacement of the asset at the end of its useful life.

Amount owing to Bar creditors is

Awọn alaye Idahun

To determine the amount owing to Bar creditors, we need to look at the change in the balance of Bar supplies from the beginning to the end of the accounting period. On January 1, the balance of Bar supplies was N2,850. During the accounting period, receipts from the Bar were N4,500 and additional Bar supplies were purchased for N3,200. This gives a total of N7,700. However, the balance of Bar supplies at the end of the period was N5,600. Therefore, the amount of Bar supplies used during the period was N2,100 (N7,700 - N5,600). This represents the cost of the Bar supplies consumed during the period. Since the balance of Bar supplies at the beginning of the period was N2,850, the total cost of Bar supplies for the period was N4,950 (N2,850 + N2,100). The amount owing to Bar creditors is the cost of the Bar supplies consumed during the period minus any payments made to Bar creditors during the period. The information provided does not include any payments made to Bar creditors, so the amount owing is N4,950. Therefore, the answer is option (A) N8,450 is incorrect. The correct answer is option (B) N6,050.

Which of the following is both a subsidiary book and a ledger?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is the "cash book". A cash book is both a subsidiary book and a ledger. It is a subsidiary book because it records all cash transactions for a particular period, including receipts and payments. It is also a ledger because it maintains individual accounts for each cash account, such as the bank account, petty cash account, and cash on hand account. The cash book serves as the primary source of information for the cash and bank balances in the balance sheet and is used to reconcile the bank statement at the end of the month.

The amount of money granted by government to public institutions to meet recurrent expenditure during a fiscal year is

Awọn alaye Idahun

The amount of money granted by the government to public institutions to meet recurrent expenditure during a fiscal year is known as a subvention. A subvention is a form of financial assistance given to organizations, institutions, or individuals by a government agency or other entity. It is usually granted for specific purposes and must be accounted for and used in accordance with specific rules and regulations. In the context of public institutions, a subvention may be provided to cover operating costs such as salaries, maintenance, and supplies, among others.

Awọn alaye Idahun

When both debit and credit entries in respect of a transaction are made in the same ledger account, this is called a contra entry. A contra entry is an accounting entry that offsets another accounting entry. It is recorded in the same account as the original entry but with the opposite sign. For example, if a company has a bank account with a balance of $1,000 and it receives a check for $1,000, it will record a debit entry of $1,000 in the bank account and a credit entry of $1,000 in the accounts receivable account. When the check is deposited and cleared, the company will record a contra entry by debiting the accounts receivable account and crediting the bank account with $1,000 to offset the original entries.

The excess of current assets over current liabilities is

Awọn alaye Idahun

The excess of current assets over current liabilities is known as working capital. It represents the amount of funds that a business has available for its day-to-day operations. Current assets include cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, while current liabilities include accounts payable and other short-term debts. The working capital is important because it indicates a company's ability to pay its short-term debts and continue its operations. A positive working capital means that a company has enough funds to cover its short-term debts, while a negative working capital may indicate financial difficulties and potential bankruptcy.

When discount is allowed, the accounting entry is debit Discount allowed and credit

Awọn alaye Idahun

When a discount is allowed, it means the seller is reducing the selling price of goods to attract customers. In accounting terms, it is considered an expense for the seller, and it is recorded as a debit entry in the Discount Allowed account. On the other hand, the buyer is getting the goods at a lower price, and it is recorded as a credit entry in the debtor's account (if the buyer has not yet paid for the goods) or in the bank account (if the buyer has already paid for the goods). Therefore, the correct answer is "debtors account".

The transfer of goods between departments is recorded be debiting

Awọn alaye Idahun

When goods are transferred from one department to another within the same organization, it is recorded in the accounting system as an internal transaction. To record this transaction, the department that is giving the goods will debit the receiving department and credit its own account. In other words, the giving department will decrease its own inventory (assets) and the receiving department will increase its inventory (assets). This ensures that the movement of goods between departments is properly accounted for and the inventory records are up to date.

Awọn alaye Idahun

A class of preference shares in which dividend rights are carried forward is called "cumulative". This means that if the company is unable to pay the dividend in a particular year, the unpaid amount will accumulate and be carried forward to the next year. This ensures that the shareholders receive their due dividend when the company is financially capable of paying it. The cumulative feature of preference shares provides greater security to investors than non-cumulative preference shares, as it guarantees a return on their investment.

Cost of raw materials used is

Awọn alaye Idahun

The cost of raw materials used can be calculated using the following formula: Cost of raw materials used = Opening stock of raw materials + Purchases + Carriage inwards - Closing stock of raw materials Substituting the given values, we get: Cost of raw materials used = 460,000 + 1,000,000 + 100,000 - 500,000 Cost of raw materials used = 1,060,000 Therefore, the cost of raw materials used is N1,060,000. Option (D) is the correct answer.

Awọn alaye Idahun

To calculate the gross profit, we need to use the formula: Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). COGS can be calculated as: COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock Substituting the values from the information given, we get: COGS = 900 + 2,000 - 300 = 2,600 Substituting the values of Sales and COGS in the formula for Gross Profit, we get: Gross Profit = 3,850 - 2,600 = N1,250 Therefore, the gross profit is N1,250.

What is the annual depreciation charge of straight line method is used?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The straight-line method of depreciation assumes that the asset loses an equal amount of value each year over its useful life. To calculate the annual depreciation charge, we need to subtract the estimated scrap value of the equipment from its initial cost and then divide the result by the estimated useful life: Annual Depreciation Charge = (Purchase price + Freight and installation cost - Estimated scrap value) ÷ Estimated useful life Substituting the given values, we have: Annual Depreciation Charge = (60,000 + 10,000 - 2,000) ÷ 5 = 68,000 ÷ 5 = N13,600 Therefore, the annual depreciation charge of the straight-line method is N13,600, which is closest to option (B) N13,000.

Awọn alaye Idahun

In accounting, the fundamental accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Capital. Therefore, we can check which option is incorrect by verifying if the equation is satisfied in each option. Option A: Assets = N95,550 + N11,500 = N107,050 Liabilities = N82,000 Capital = N107,050 - N82,000 = N25,050 Option A does not satisfy the accounting equation, as the value for capital is incorrect. Option B: Assets = N82,000 Liabilities = N28,000 Capital = N54,000 Option B satisfies the accounting equation. Option C: Assets = N78,500 Liabilities = N12,500 Capital = N66,000 Option C satisfies the accounting equation. Option D: Assets = N65,400 Liabilities = N11,200 Capital = N54,200 Option D satisfies the accounting equation. Therefore, the incorrect option is A, as it does not satisfy the fundamental accounting equation.

The accounting concept which allows the use of a particular method for treating a transaction for a reasonable number of years is called consistency. This means that once a company has adopted an accounting policy or method for a particular type of transaction, it should continue to use that method consistently for similar transactions in subsequent accounting periods, unless there is a valid reason for changing it. Consistency in accounting ensures that financial statements are comparable from one period to the next, which is important for decision-making by investors and other stakeholders.

A decrease in the provision for doubtful debts results in an increase in net profit. A provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount set aside to cover the possibility of bad debts or non-payment of debts by customers. It is an expense that is charged against the profits of the business. When the provision for doubtful debts is decreased, it means that the amount set aside for this purpose is reduced. This, in turn, reduces the expense charged against the profits of the business, which increases the net profit. Therefore, the correct option is an increase in net profit.

Preference shareholders, on the other hand, are typically paid before ordinary shareholders in the event of winding-up. Founder shares are a type of equity ownership usually granted to the company's founders, while treasury shares are shares of a company's own stock that it has repurchased and are held in its treasury.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The basis of accounting in public service is cash. This means that transactions are recorded when cash is received or paid out.

This is different from accrual accounting where revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of whether cash has been received or paid out. The cash basis of accounting is generally simpler and easier to understand than the accrual basis, but it may not provide a complete picture of the financial health of an organization as it does not consider non-cash transactions such as accounts receivable or accounts payable.

Goodwill is taken into account in partnership when a new partner is admitted. Goodwill represents the value of a firm's reputation, brand recognition, and customer loyalty, and can be an important factor in determining a firm's overall value. When a new partner is admitted to a partnership, the existing partners may agree to include the value of the firm's goodwill in determining the new partner's capital contribution or in calculating the new partner's share of the profits. This is because the new partner will benefit from the firm's reputation and customer loyalty, just like the existing partners.

When partners maintain fixed capital accounts, the correct entries for a partner's share of profit is

Awọn alaye Idahun

When partners maintain fixed capital accounts, the correct entries for a partner's share of profit are: debit Profit and Loss Appropriation account and credit Capital account. Explanation: In a partnership, partners can maintain either a fixed capital account or a fluctuating capital account. In the case of fixed capital accounts, each partner has a predetermined capital contribution and that capital remains constant until they introduce additional capital or withdraw some. When the partnership earns a profit, it is shared among the partners according to their agreed-upon profit-sharing ratio. The entry to record the distribution of profit is made by debiting the Profit and Loss Appropriation account and crediting the partners' Capital accounts. This entry increases the partners' capital accounts, reflecting their share of the profit. Since the partners' capital accounts are fixed in this case, their current accounts do not come into play. Therefore, the correct entries for a partner's share of profit in a fixed capital account partnership are to debit Profit and Loss Appropriation account and credit Capital account.

The price paid by an acquiring company is the "purchases consideration". This is the total amount of money or other assets that the acquiring company pays to the shareholders of the target company in exchange for their shares. The purchases consideration is negotiated between the two companies and typically includes a premium above the current market value of the target company's shares. The premium represents the additional value that the acquiring company expects to gain from acquiring the target company.

A business operates on a mark-up of 25%. If cost of goods sold is N800,000. What is the profit?

Awọn alaye Idahun

To find the profit, we need to first calculate the selling price, which is the cost price plus the mark-up. Mark-up is calculated as a percentage of the cost price, and in this case, it is 25%. So, the mark-up on N800,000 is: 25/100 * N800,000 = N200,000 Therefore, the selling price of the goods is: N800,000 + N200,000 = N1,000,000 To calculate the profit, we need to subtract the cost of goods sold from the selling price: N1,000,000 - N800,000 = N200,000 Therefore, the profit is N200,000. The answer is option B: N200,000.

In this case, the total acquisition cost would be: Total acquisition cost = Purchase price + Freight and installation cost = 60,000 + 10,000 = N70,000 The annual maintenance cost and the estimated useful life of the equipment are not relevant to the calculation of the total acquisition cost. The estimated scrap value is also not relevant to the calculation of the total acquisition cost, as it is a future estimate of the value of the equipment at the end of its useful life. Therefore, the correct answer is N70,000.
