The following details relate to the bar operations of Apex Recreation Club for the year ended 31 December 2025:

- Bar inventory (1 January 2025): ₦12,500
- Bar inventory (31 December 2025): ₦16,200
- Payments to bar suppliers (creditors): ₦64,000
- Amount owing to bar suppliers (1 January 2025): ₦8,400
- Amount owing to bar suppliers (31 December 2025): ₦11,100
- Bar sales (takings): ₦120,000
- Bar steward salary paid: ₦15,000 (₦2,500 was accrued on 31 December 2025)
- Bar license fee paid: ₦4,000 (₦1,000 was prepaid for 2026)

What is the net profit from the bar trading account to be transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: 36500

Answer

The net profit transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account is ₦36,500.
The net bar profit transferred to the Income and Expenditure account is determined by first computing total credit purchases (₦64,000 + ₦11,100 - ₦8,400 = ₦66,700), then calculating the cost of goods sold (₦12,500 + ₦66,700 - ₦16,200 = ₦63,000) to find the gross profit of ₦57,000 (₦120,000 - ₦63,000). Finally, deducting total adjusted bar expenses (₦17,500 steward salary + ₦3,000 license fee = ₦20,500) leaves a net profit of ₦36,500.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate Total Purchases of Bar Goods
Purchases = ₦66,700
Total credit purchases equal cash payments to suppliers plus closing creditors minus opening creditors (₦64,000 + ₦11,100 - ₦8,400).
2
Determine Cost of Bar Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold = ₦63,000
Cost of Goods Sold is calculated as Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory (₦12,500 + ₦66,700 - ₦16,200).
3
Compute Bar Gross Profit
Gross Profit = ₦57,000
Gross profit is Total Bar Sales minus Cost of Bar Goods Sold (₦120,000 - ₦63,000).
4
Calculate Total Adjusted Bar Operating Expenses
Total Expenses = ₦20,500
Adjust steward salary for accrued wages (₦15,000 + ₦2,500 = ₦17,500) and bar license fee for prepaid amount (₦4,000 - ₦1,000 = ₦3,000).
5
Determine Bar Net Profit Transferred
Net Profit = ₦36,500
Deduct total bar operating expenses from bar gross profit (₦57,000 - ₦20,500).

Question 11882Question

Kofi consigned 500500 units of solar lanterns costing 12,000\text{₦}12,000 per unit to Aminu. Kofi paid freight of 300,000\text{₦}300,000 and loading charges of 100,000\text{₦}100,000. Aminu paid clearing charges of 200,000\text{₦}200,000, warehouse rent of 150,000\text{₦}150,000, and sales commission of 100,000\text{₦}100,000. At the end of the trading period, Aminu reported that 400400 units were sold. What is the value of the unsold consignment stock?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: 1,320,000\text{₦}1,320,000

Answer

The value of the unsold consignment stock is 1,320,000\text{₦}1,320,000.
Unsold consignment stock must be valued at cost plus a proportionate share of all direct non-recurring expenses incurred by both consignor and consignee up to the point of receiving the goods at the destination. The basic cost for 100100 units is 1,200,000\text{₦}1,200,000. The proportionate consignor expenses (Freight and Loading) equal 15×400,000=80,000\frac{1}{5} \times \text{₦}400,000 = \text{₦}80,000. The proportionate consignee direct expense (Clearing charges) equals 15×200,000=40,000\frac{1}{5} \times \text{₦}200,000 = \text{₦}40,000. Adding these together gives 1,320,000\text{₦}1,320,000.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the quantity of unsold stock and the basic cost.
Unsold quantity = 500400=100500 - 400 = 100 units (20%20\% or 15\frac{1}{5} of total). Basic cost = 100×12,000=1,200,000100 \times \text{₦}12,000 = \text{₦}1,200,000.
Unsold stock is calculated based on the fraction of remaining goods.
2
Identify and sum the consignor's direct non-recurring expenses.
Total consignor expenses = 300,000 (Freight)+100,000 (Loading)=400,000\text{₦}300,000 \text{ (Freight)} + \text{₦}100,000 \text{ (Loading)} = \text{₦}400,000. Proportionate share = 100500×400,000=80,000\frac{100}{500} \times \text{₦}400,000 = \text{₦}80,000.
All reasonable expenses paid by the consignor to send the goods are non-recurring and added proportionately.
3
Identify and add the consignee's direct (non-recurring) expenses.
Direct consignee expense = 200,000 (Clearing charges)\text{₦}200,000 \text{ (Clearing charges)}. Indirect expenses (warehouse rent and sales commission) are excluded. Proportionate share = 100500×200,000=40,000\frac{100}{500} \times \text{₦}200,000 = \text{₦}40,000.
Only non-recurring costs incurred by the consignee to take delivery (e.g., clearing, dock dues) are added to stock valuation.
4
Compute total value of unsold consignment stock.
Total stock value = 1,200,000+80,000+40,000=1,320,000\text{₦}1,200,000 + \text{₦}80,000 + \text{₦}40,000 = \text{₦}1,320,000.
Combining basic cost and all proportionate direct non-recurring expenses gives the proper inventory valuation.

Question 11883Question

Under the financial regulations governing public sector accounting in Nigeria, government revenues are categorized and credited to specific statutory funds based on their intended purpose. Which of the following receipts is credited directly to the Capital Development Fund rather than the Consolidated Revenue Fund?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: Proceeds from domestic and international loans raised specifically for capital projects

Answer

Proceeds from domestic and international loans raised specifically for capital projects
The Capital Development Fund (CDF) is maintained exclusively for capital project expenditure. Its direct receipts include proceeds from loans raised for capital works, capital grants, and statutory appropriations transferred from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Therefore, proceeds from domestic and international loans raised specifically for capital projects are credited directly to the Capital Development Fund.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary purpose of the Capital Development Fund (CDF).
The Capital Development Fund is established to record and finance government capital expenditure, such as infrastructure development and acquisition of non-current assets.
Public sector accounting separates operational (recurrent) activities from capital investment activities.
2
Distinguish between sources of revenue for the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) and the Capital Development Fund (CDF).
The Consolidated Revenue Fund receives all general recurrent revenues including taxes, statutory allocations, fees, and fines. In contrast, the Capital Development Fund receives capital receipts such as loan proceeds specifically raised for capital projects, capital grants, and contributions/transfers from the CRF surplus.
Section 80 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria and the Finance (Control and Management) Act govern statutory fund allocations.

- Subscriptions received in advance on 1 January 2025: N8,000\text{N}8,000
- Total subscription cash received during 2025: N165,000\text{N}165,000
- Subscriptions in arrears on 31 December 2025: N15,000\text{N}15,000
- Subscriptions received in advance on 31 December 2025: N10,000\text{N}10,000

What amount should be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for the year ended 31 December 2025?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: N166,000\text{N}166,000

Answer

N166,000\text{N}166,000
Under the accrual basis of accounting, subscription income recognized in the Income and Expenditure Account reflects income relating strictly to the current financial year. Starting from total cash received of N165,000\text{N}165,000, we add subscriptions received in advance at the start of the year (N8,000\text{N}8,000) and subscriptions in arrears at the end of the year (N15,000\text{N}15,000), then deduct subscriptions in arrears at the start of the year (N12,000\text{N}12,000) and subscriptions received in advance at the end of the year (N10,000\text{N}10,000). This gives N165,000+N8,000+N15,000N12,000N10,000=N166,000\text{N}165,000 + \text{N}8,000 + \text{N}15,000 - \text{N}12,000 - \text{N}10,000 = \text{N}166,000.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify cash received during the period
Total cash received = N165,000\text{N}165,000
Cash received forms the baseline figure in the subscription account.
2
Add income items relating to the current year
Add opening advance (N8,000\text{N}8,000) + closing arrears (N15,000\text{N}15,000) = N23,000\text{N}23,000
Subscriptions paid in advance last year relate to this year, and subscriptions owed at the end of this year belong to this year.
3
Deduct income items relating to other periods
Deduct opening arrears (N12,000\text{N}12,000) + closing advance (N10,000\text{N}10,000) = N22,000\text{N}22,000
Subscriptions owed at the beginning belong to last year, and subscriptions paid in advance at year-end belong to next year.
4
Compute final subscription income for the Income and Expenditure Account
N165,000+N23,000N22,000=N166,000\text{N}165,000 + \text{N}23,000 - \text{N}22,000 = \text{N}166,000

Question 11886Question

A firm acquired new office computers on credit for business operations rather than for resale. In which book of prime entry should this transaction be recorded?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: General Journal

Answer

The transaction should be recorded in the General Journal.
The General Journal (Journal Proper) is used to record non-routine transactions that do not fit into other specialized subsidiary books, such as the purchase or sale of non-current assets on credit, opening/closing entries, and correction of errors.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the nature of the asset purchased
Office computers are non-current (fixed) assets used in operations, not inventory held for resale.
The choice of book of prime entry depends on whether the transaction involves cash, resale inventory, or capital items.
2
Determine the mode of acquisition
The purchase was made on credit.
Credit purchases cannot be entered in the Cash Book.
3
Select the appropriate book of original entry
The General Journal (Journal Proper) is designated for credit purchases of non-current assets.
Specialized day books (like the Purchases Journal) only handle goods meant for resale.

Question 11887Question

Crestview Manufacturing Ltd has an issued share capital of 800,000800,000 ordinary shares of 0.50\text{₦}0.50 each. The board of directors resolves to make a bonus issue of 11 new ordinary share for every 44 ordinary shares held. What is the total nominal value (in \text{₦}) of the bonus shares issued?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: 100000

Answer

The total nominal value of the bonus shares issued is ₦100,000.
To find the total nominal value of bonus shares issued, first calculate the quantity of bonus shares (800,000 existing shares divided by 4 = 200,000 bonus shares). Then multiply this quantity by the nominal value per share (200,000 shares × ₦0.50 = ₦100,000).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the number of bonus shares issued.
200,000 shares
The ratio is 1 new share for every 4 existing shares, so dividing 800,000 by 4 yields 200,000 bonus shares.
2
Calculate the monetary nominal value of the bonus shares.
₦100,000
Multiplying 200,000 bonus shares by their par value of ₦0.50 each gives ₦100,000.

Question 11889Question

On 31st December 2025, Folake Enterprises extracted a trial balance showing Trade Receivables of ��145,000\text{��}145,000 and an existing Provision for Doubtful Debts of 4,800\text{₦}4,800. During the year-end audit, it was discovered that a bad debt recovery of 2,500\text{₦}2,500 was erroneously credited to the Trade Receivables account. Additionally, further bad debts of 5,000\text{₦}5,000 are to be written off. A specific provision of 4,000\text{₦}4,000 is required for a customer in liquidation, while a general provision of 5%5\% is to be maintained on the remaining trade receivables. Calculate the net amount in Naira (\text{₦}) to be charged as Provision for Doubtful Debts in the Income Statement for the year ended 31st December 2025.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: 6125

Answer

The net amount to be charged as Provision for Doubtful Debts in the Income Statement for the year ended 31st December 2025 is 6,125\text{₦}6,125.
The net amount charged to the Income Statement is 6,125\text{₦}6,125. Trade receivables are first corrected for the misposted bad debt recovery (145,000+2,500=147,500\text{₦}145,000 + \text{₦}2,500 = \text{₦}147,500), then reduced by additional bad debts (147,5005,000=142,500\text{₦}147,500 - \text{₦}5,000 = \text{₦}142,500). Deducting the specific provision of 4,000\text{₦}4,000 leaves 138,500\text{₦}138,500, yielding a 5%5\% general provision of 6,925\text{₦}6,925. The total required provision of 10,925\text{₦}10,925 (4,000+6,925\text{₦}4,000 + \text{₦}6,925) minus the opening provision of 4,800\text{₦}4,800 gives a net charge of 6,125\text{₦}6,125.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Adjust trade receivables balance to correct the ledger entry error.
Corrected Trade Receivables = 147,500\text{₦}147,500 (i.e., 145,000+2,500\text{₦}145,000 + \text{₦}2,500).
Crediting the bad debt recovery directly to trade receivables was an error that incorrectly reduced the receivables balance; adding it back restores the true gross receivables balance before adjustments.
2
Deduct additional bad debts written off at year-end.
Adjusted Trade Receivables = 142,500\text{₦}142,500 (i.e., 147,5005,000\text{₦}147,500 - \text{₦}5,000).
Irrecoverable debts must be completely written off from gross receivables before estimating provisions.
3
Calculate the total new provision for doubtful debts (specific + general).
Total New Provision Required = 10,925\text{₦}10,925 (Specific: 4,000\text{₦}4,000; General: 5%×138,500=6,9255\% \times \text{₦}138,500 = \text{₦}6,925).
The specific provision of 4,000\text{₦}4,000 is isolated first, leaving 138,500\text{₦}138,500 (142,5004,000\text{₦}142,500 - \text{₦}4,000) on which the general rate of 5%5\% is calculated.
4
Determine the net adjustment amount to be charged to the Income Statement.
Income Statement Charge = 6,125\text{₦}6,125 (i.e., 10,9254,800\text{₦}10,925 - \text{₦}4,800).
The Income Statement only reflects the increase in provision required from the existing balance of 4,800\text{₦}4,800 to the new target balance of 10,925\text{₦}10,925.

Show answer & explanation

Answer

The correct pairings are: Net Trade Debtors in the Balance Sheet matches ₦475,000; Additional Bad Debts expense matches ₦20,000; New closing balance of Provision for Doubtful Debts matches ₦25,000; Net increase in Provision charged to Profit and Loss matches ₦3,000.
Each accounting adjustment item correctly pairs with its calculated financial value: Net Trade Debtors presented in the Balance Sheet equals ₦475,000 (₦500,000 adjusted debtors less ₦25,000 closing provision); Additional Bad Debts expense equals ₦20,000; New closing Provision for Doubtful Debts equals ₦25,000 (5% of ₦500,000); and the net increase in provision debited to the Profit and Loss Account equals ₦3,000 (₦25,000 minus ₦22,000).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate adjusted trade debtors after writing off additional bad debts.
Adjusted Trade Debtors = ₦520,000 - ₦20,000 = ₦500,000.
Additional bad debts must be deducted from gross trade debtors prior to computing the percentage provision for doubtful debts.
2
Calculate the required closing provision for doubtful debts.
New Provision = 5% of ₦500,000 = ₦25,000.
The provision percentage applies to remaining net debtors after writing off bad debts.
3
Determine the net adjustment for provision for doubtful debts to be charged to the Profit and Loss Account.
Increase in Provision = New Provision (₦25,000) - Existing Provision (₦22,000) = ₦3,000.
Only the incremental increase between closing provision and opening provision is debited to the Profit and Loss Account.
4
Calculate net trade debtors for Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) presentation.
Net Trade Debtors = Adjusted Debtors (₦500,000) - Closing Provision (₦25,000) = ₦475,000.
Current assets under debtors are stated net of the closing provision for doubtful debts.

Question 11891Question

Calabar Head Office operates a dependent branch in Uyo, supplying all goods at cost price. For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the branch recorded the following transactions:

- Opening inventory: ₦15,000
- Goods sent to branch: ₦180,000
- Goods returned to head office: ₦10,000
- Total sales: ₦210,000
- Operating expenses paid by head office: ₦25,000
- Closing inventory: ₦20,000

What is the net profit earned by the Uyo branch for the year?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: ₦20,000

Answer

The net profit earned by the Uyo branch is ₦20,000.
The correct answer of ₦20,000 net profit is obtained by deducting the cost of goods sold (₦165,000) from total sales (₦210,000) to find gross profit (₦45,000), and then deducting operating expenses (₦25,000).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate Net Goods Sent to Branch
₦180,000 - ₦10,000 = ₦170,000
Goods returned by the branch to head office must be deducted from total goods dispatched to determine net goods received.
2
Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
₦15,000 + ₦170,000 - ₦20,000 = ₦165,000
COGS is computed as Opening Inventory plus Net Goods Sent minus Closing Inventory.
3
Calculate Gross Profit
₦210,000 - ₦165,000 = ₦45,000
Gross profit is sales revenue minus cost of goods sold.
4
Calculate Net Profit
₦45,000 - ₦25,000 = ₦20,000
Net profit is gross profit minus operating expenses incurred by or for the branch.

Question 11892Question

At 31st December 2025, the ledger of Oluwaseun & Co. showed Trade Debtors of 180,000₦180,000 and an existing Provision for Doubtful Debts of 4,000₦4,000. An additional bad debt of 10,000₦10,000 is to be written off, and the provision for doubtful debts is to be adjusted to 5%5\% of the remaining trade debtors. What is the net amount of Trade Debtors (in ) to be presented in the Balance Sheet as at 31st December 2025?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: 161500

Answer

The net amount of Trade Debtors to be reported in the Balance Sheet is ₦161,500.
To find the net trade debtors figure for the Balance Sheet, first write off the additional bad debt of ₦10,000 from gross debtors of ₦180,000 to get adjusted debtors of ₦170,000. Next, compute the 5% provision on ₦170,000, which equals ₦8,500. Finally, subtract ₦8,500 from ₦170,000 to obtain ₦161,500.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Deduct the additional bad debt written off from the initial trade debtors balance.
Adjusted Trade Debtors = ₦180,000 - ₦10,000 = ₦170,000.
Bad debts discovered at year-end must reduce gross trade debtors before calculating the percentage provision.
2
Calculate the new provision for doubtful debts based on the adjusted trade debtors.
Required Provision = 5% × ₦170,000 = ₦8,500.
The provision percentage applies only to collectible trade debtors after all bad debts have been deducted.
3
Subtract the required provision for doubtful debts from the adjusted trade debtors.
Net Trade Debtors = ₦170,000 - ₦8,500 = ₦161,500.
The Balance Sheet reports trade debtors net of the ending provision balance for doubtful debts.

The provision for discount on debtors is calculated only on good debts. Good debts are determined by subtracting the provision for doubtful debts from total trade debtors (40,0002,000=38,000\text{₦}40,000 - \text{₦}2,000 = \text{₦}38,000). Taking 5%5\% of 38,000\text{₦}38,000 yields 1,900\text{₦}1,900.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate net trade debtors subject to cash discount
Net Debtors = Gross Debtors - Provision for Doubtful Debts = 40,0002,000=38,000\text{₦}40,000 - \text{₦}2,000 = \text{₦}38,000
Discount is only allowed to prompt-paying debtors who are expected to pay, so doubtful debts must be excluded first.
2
Apply the discount rate to net debtors
Provision for Discount on Debtors = 5%×38,000=1,9005\% \times \text{₦}38,000 = \text{₦}1,900
The provision rate is multiplied by the net estimated collectible debtors.

Show answer & explanation

Answer

Cost of Raw Materials Consumed matches Opening stock of raw materials + Purchases of raw materials + Carriage inwards - Closing stock of raw materials; Prime Cost matches Cost of raw materials consumed + Direct factory labor wages + Direct manufacturing expenses; Factory Overheads matches Indirect production expenses such as factory power, factory supervisor salaries, and plant depreciation; Cost of Production matches Prime cost + Factory overheads + Opening work-in-progress - Closing work-in-progress.
Each manufacturing cost term aligns with its correct standard accounting definition. Cost of Raw Materials Consumed measures materials physically used; Prime Cost aggregates direct expenses; Factory Overheads encompass indirect plant costs; and Cost of Production combines prime cost and overheads adjusted for net work-in-progress.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the formula for Cost of Raw Materials Consumed
Opening stock of raw materials + Purchases + Carriage inwards - Closing stock of raw materials
This formula tracks the physical movement and cost of raw materials actually used during the manufacturing period.
2
Determine the composition of Prime Cost
Cost of raw materials consumed + Direct wages + Direct expenses
Prime cost aggregated all direct inputs that can be traced directly to the production units.
3
Identify the definition of Factory Overheads
Indirect production expenses such as factory power, supervisor salaries, and plant depreciation
Overheads represent operational costs incurred in the factory area that cannot be directly assigned to specific units of production.
4
Determine the calculation for Cost of Production
Prime cost + Factory overheads + Opening work-in-progress - Closing work-in-progress
Cost of production reflects the total manufacturing cost transferred to finished goods after accounting for partially completed units.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: N77,500\text{N}77,500

Answer

N77,500\text{N}77,500
The correct answer of N77,500\text{N}77,500 is determined by calculating the true Cost of Production first: N180,000+N90,000+N50,000+N15,000N25,000=N310,000\text{N}180,000 + \text{N}90,000 + \text{N}50,000 + \text{N}15,000 - \text{N}25,000 = \text{N}310,000. Applying the 25%25\% mark-up on this cost gives N310,000×0.25=N77,500\text{N}310,000 \times 0.25 = \text{N}77,500, which is credited to the Manufacturing Account as manufacturing profit.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate Prime Cost
Prime Cost=Raw Materials Consumed+Direct Factory Wages=N180,000+N90,000=N270,000\text{Prime Cost} = \text{Raw Materials Consumed} + \text{Direct Factory Wages} = \text{N}180,000 + \text{N}90,000 = \text{N}270,000
Prime cost consists of all direct manufacturing costs.
2
Calculate Total Factory Cost
Total Factory Cost=Prime Cost+Factory Overheads=N270,000+N50,000=N320,000\text{Total Factory Cost} = \text{Prime Cost} + \text{Factory Overheads} = \text{N}270,000 + \text{N}50,000 = \text{N}320,000
Factory overheads represent indirect manufacturing expenses added to prime cost.
3
Adjust for Work-in-Progress (WIP) to find Cost of Production
Cost of Production=Total Factory Cost+Opening WIPClosing WIP=N320,000+N15,000N25,000=N310,000\text{Cost of Production} = \text{Total Factory Cost} + \text{Opening WIP} - \text{Closing WIP} = \text{N}320,000 + \text{N}15,000 - \text{N}25,000 = \text{N}310,000
Opening WIP is added because it was completed during the current period, while closing WIP is deducted as it remains incomplete.
4
Compute Manufacturing Profit
Manufacturing Profit=25%×Cost of Production=0.25×N310,000=N77,500\text{Manufacturing Profit} = 25\% \times \text{Cost of Production} = 0.25 \times \text{N}310,000 = \text{N}77,500
Manufacturing profit is the mark-up percentage applied directly to the cost of production.

Question 11896Question

At the beginning of the financial year, a business had net assets worth ₦50,000. During the year, the proprietor introduced additional capital of ₦10,000 and withdrew ₦5,000 for personal use. If the net assets at the end of the year stood at ₦70,000, what is the net profit for the year?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: ₦15,000

Answer

The net profit for the year is ₦15,000.
Under the capital comparison (statement of affairs) method, profit is derived by adjusting closing capital for owner's capital transactions. Adding back owner's drawings (₦5,000) to closing capital (₦70,000) yields ₦75,000. Subtracting additional capital introduced (₦10,000) and opening capital (₦50,000) gives a net profit of ₦15,000.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the relevant formula for profit determination under the capital comparison method.
Net Profit=Closing Capital+DrawingsAdditional Capital IntroducedOpening Capital\text{Net Profit} = \text{Closing Capital} + \text{Drawings} - \text{Additional Capital Introduced} - \text{Opening Capital}
Drawings reduce closing capital so they must be added back, while new capital introduced increases closing capital so it must be removed to find net profit earned from operations.
2
Substitute the given monetary values into the formula.
Net Profit=70,000+5,00010,00050,000\text{Net Profit} = ₦70,000 + ₦5,000 - ₦10,000 - ₦50,000
Net assets equal capital (Opening Capital = ₦50,000, Closing Capital = ₦70,000).
3
Perform the final calculation.
Net Profit=75,00060,000=15,000\text{Net Profit} = ₦75,000 - ₦60,000 = ₦15,000
Subtracting total initial/added equity from adjusted closing equity yields the net profit for the year.

What is the total Cost of Production for the year?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: ₦520,000

Answer

The total Cost of Production for the year is ₦520,000.
The total Cost of Production of ₦520,000 is correctly calculated by summing the Prime Cost (₦400,000), Factory Overheads (₦100,000), and Opening Work-in-Progress (₦35,000), then subtracting Closing Work-in-Progress (₦15,000).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate Cost of Raw Materials Consumed
��50,000 + ₦200,000 + ₦10,000 - ₦40,000 = ₦220,000
Carriage inwards is added to raw material purchases while closing raw material inventory is deducted.
2
Calculate Prime Cost
₦220,000 (Raw Materials) + ₦150,000 (Direct Wages) + ₦30,000 (Direct Expenses) = ₦400,000
Prime cost is the sum of all direct costs of production.
3
Calculate Total Factory Overheads
₦60,000 (Factory Rent) + ₦40,000 (Depreciation) = ₦100,000
Factory overheads consist of all indirect manufacturing expenses incurred in the factory.
4
Calculate Cost of Production
₦400,000 (Prime Cost) + ₦100,000 (Factory Overheads) + ₦35,000 (Opening WIP) - ₦15,000 (Closing WIP) = ₦520,000
Cost of production is obtained by adding factory overheads and opening work-in-progress to prime cost, and deducting closing work-in-progress.

Match each accounting transaction event relating to the forfeiture and re-issue of shares on the left with its correct double-entry ledger treatment on the right.

Click a left item, then click its matching right item

Items

Recording the initial forfeiture of shares due to default on calls
Re-issuing forfeited shares at a price below nominal value (at a discount)
Re-issuing forfeited shares at a price above nominal value (at a premium)
Transferring the net surplus remaining in the Forfeited Shares Account after re-issue

Matches

Show answer & explanation

Answer

1. Recording initial forfeiture matches with debited Ordinary Share Capital (called-up amount), credited Calls-in-Arrears (unpaid amount), and credited Forfeited Shares Account (amount paid).
2. Re-issue at a discount matches with debited Bank Account, debited Forfeited Shares Account for the discount, and credited Ordinary Share Capital Account.
3. Re-issue at a premium matches with debited Bank Account, credited Ordinary Share Capital Account, and credited Share Premium Account.
4. Transfer of remaining net surplus matches with debited Forfeited Shares Account and credited Capital Reserve Account.
Each transaction event strictly corresponds to double-entry accounting rules: cancelling called-up share capital upon forfeiture, using Forfeited Shares Account to absorb re-issue discounts, recognizing share premium on premium re-issues, and transferring residual forfeiture gain to Capital Reserve.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the entry for share forfeiture
Debit Ordinary Share Capital Account with called-up value, Credit Calls-in-Arrears with unpaid calls, Credit Forfeited Shares Account with money already received.
Forfeiture cancels the share capital registered for defaulting members and isolates the forfeited funds.
2
Analyze the entry for re-issue of forfeited shares at a discount
Debit Bank with cash received, Debit Forfeited Shares Account with the discount absorbable, Credit Ordinary Share Capital Account with nominal value.
The discount offered on re-issue cannot exceed the amount forfeited on those shares, so it is absorbed from the Forfeited Shares Account.
3
Analyze the entry for re-issue at a premium
Debit Bank with full proceeds, Credit Share Capital with nominal amount, Credit Share Premium Account with excess consideration.
Shares re-issued above nominal value generate a premium that is transferred to the capital reserve account for share premiums.
4
Analyze the entry for closing the net profit on forfeited shares
Debit Forfeited Shares Account and Credit Capital Reserve Account.
The surplus balance left in the Forfeited Shares Account after re-issue represents a capital gain.

Question 11900Question

Nkem Enterprises consigned 800800 cases of merchandise to Babatunde. Babatunde sold 500500 cases for cash at ₦2,0002,000 per case and 300300 cases on credit at ₦2,2002,200 per case. The contract specified three types of commission: an ordinary commission of 5%5\% on total sales, a del-credere commission of 2.5%2.5\% on credit sales, and an overriding commission of 10%10\% on total sales value achieved in excess of the benchmark price of ₦1,8001,800 per case. During the period, a credit customer defaulted, incurring a bad debt of ₦50,00050,000. What is the total commission earned by Babatunde?

Show answer & explanation

Answer: ₦121,500

Answer

The total commission earned by Babatunde is ₦121,500.
The total commission is calculated by summing the ordinary commission on total sales (5% of ₦1,660,000 = ₦83,000), del-credere commission on credit sales (2.5% of ₦660,000 = ₦16,500), and overriding commission on price realization above benchmark (10% of ₦220,000 = ₦22,000), yielding ₦121,500.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate Cash Sales, Credit Sales, and Total Sales
Cash Sales = 500×2,000=1,000,000500 \times ₦2,000 = ₦1,000,000; Credit Sales = 300×2,200=660,000300 \times ₦2,200 = ₦660,000; Total Sales = 1,000,000+660,000=1,660,000₦1,000,000 + ₦660,000 = ₦1,660,000.
Sales figures are required to determine the base amount for each commission type.
2
Compute Ordinary Commission
Ordinary Commission = 5%×1,660,000=83,0005\% \times ₦1,660,000 = ₦83,000.
Ordinary commission is earned on total sales revenue.
3
Compute Del-Credere Commission
Del-Credere Commission = 2.5%×660,000=16,5002.5\% \times ₦660,000 = ₦16,500.
Del-credere commission is calculated on credit sales (or total sales if explicitly specified, but standard provision applies to credit sales).
4
Compute Overriding Commission
Excess price on cash sales = 500×(2,0001,800)=100,000500 \times (₦2,000 - ₦1,800) = ₦100,000; Excess price on credit sales = 300×(2,2001,800)=120,000300 \times (₦2,200 - ₦1,800) = ₦120,000; Total excess = 220,000₦220,000; Overriding Commission = 10%×220,000=22,00010\% \times ₦220,000 = ₦22,000.
Overriding commission rewards selling above the specified benchmark price.
5
Sum all commission components
Total Commission = 83,000+16,500+22,000=121,500₦83,000 + ₦16,500 + ₦22,000 = ₦121,500.
Adding the three commission components gives the gross commission earned by the consignee.
