Apex Enterprises operates two departments: Department X and Department Y. Department X transfers finished goods to Department Y at cost plus $33\frac{1}{3}\%$ . At the end of the accounting year ended 31st December 2025, Department Y held closing inventory valued at $\text{N}40,000$ . An inspection of inventory records reveals that $75\%$ of Department Y's closing inventory consists of goods transferred from Department X. Given that the opening provision for unrealized profit at 1st January 2025 was $\text{N}2,500$ , what is the net amount (in Naira) to be debited to the General Profit and Loss Account for provision for unrealized profit for the year?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5000

Cevap

The net amount to be debited to the General Profit and Loss Account for provision for unrealized profit is 5000.

To calculate the net adjustment to the General Profit and Loss Account, first isolate the transfer component of Department Y's closing inventory (

75\% \times \text{N}40,000 = \text{N}30,000

). Convert the transfer mark-up of

33\frac{1}{3}\%

on cost to a margin on transfer price:

\frac{1/3}{1 + 1/3} = 25\%

. The total unrealized profit contained in closing stock is

25\% \times \text{N}30,000 = \text{N}7,500

. Since an opening provision of

\text{N}2,500

already exists, the additional amount to be debited to the General Profit and Loss Account is

\text{N}7,500 - \text{N}2,500 = \text{N}5,000

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the proportion of closing inventory derived from inter-departmental transfers

Transferred goods portion =

75\% \times \text{N}40,000 = \text{N}30,000

Unrealized profit exists only in the portion of closing stock that was transferred from Department X, not in goods purchased externally.

2

Convert mark-up rate to profit margin rate

Margin =

\frac{\text{Mark-up}}{1 + \text{Mark-up}} = \frac{1/3}{4/3} = \frac{1}{4} = 25\%

Department X charges goods at cost plus

33\frac{1}{3}\%

. To extract profit from the transfer price (invoice price), mark-up must be converted to margin on transfer price.

3

Calculate the closing provision required at the end of the year

Closing Provision =

25\% \times \text{N}30,000 = \text{N}7,500

This represents the total profit element included in Department Y's remaining transferred stock that has not yet been sold to third parties.

4

Calculate the net charge to the General Profit and Loss Account

Net P&L Debit = Closing Provision - Opening Provision =

\text{N}7,500 - \text{N}2,500 = \text{N}5,000

The General Profit and Loss Account is debited with the increase in provision required for the current accounting period.

Ada and Bello formed a partnership business without drawing up a partnership deed. For the year ended 31st December 2025, the firm earned a profit of ₦180,000 before accounting for any interest or partner allowances. Ada contributed ₦500,000 as capital, while Bello contributed ₦300,000. Additionally, Bello advanced a loan of ₦200,000 to the firm on 1st January 2025. Bello demanded a monthly salary of ₦5,000 and 6% interest per annum on his capital. In accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Act 1890, what is Ada's share of the net profit (in ₦)?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 85000

Cevap

Ada's share of the net profit is ₦85,000.

Because no partnership deed was drawn up, the provisions of the Partnership Act 1890 govern the business. Under this Act, partners are not entitled to salaries or interest on capital, and profits are shared equally. However, partners are entitled to 5% interest per annum on any loan advanced to the firm. Bello's loan interest equals ₦10,000 (5% of ₦200,000), which reduces net profit from ₦180,000 to ₦170,000. Sharing ₦170,000 equally results in ₦85,000 for Ada.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine statutory allowances and interest under the Partnership Act 1890

Partner salary = ₦0; Interest on capital = ₦0; Interest on loan = 5% per annum; Profit sharing ratio = 1:1 (Equal)

When no partnership deed exists, the Partnership Act 1890 applies default statutory provisions.

2

Calculate interest on partner loan

₦200,000 × 5% = ₦10,000

Loans provided by partners above their capital contribution attract 5% interest per annum as a business expense.

3

Calculate divisible profit after deducting loan interest

₦180,000 - ₦10,000 = ₦170,000

Interest on a partner's loan is a charge against profit, not an appropriation of profit.

4

Distribute divisible profit equally to Ada

₦170,000 ÷ 2 = ₦85,000

The Partnership Act 1890 mandates equal profit sharing regardless of capital contribution ratio.

Before preparing the final accounts of Okon & Sons, the Sales Ledger Control Account balance was $₦145,800$ . A subsequent audit revealed the following errors:
1. The total of the Sales Day Book was posted to the Sales Ledger Control Account as $₦45,200$ instead of the correct total of $₦54,200$ .
2. Discount allowed of $₦3,400$ was entered in the Sales Ledger Control Account as $₦4,300$ .
3. A contra entry of $₦2,500$ set off against the Purchases Ledger Control Account was omitted entirely from the Sales Ledger Control Account.
4. Bad debts written off of $₦1,800$ were posted to individual debtors' accounts but omitted from the Sales Ledger Control Account.
5. A dishonoured cheque of $₦4,000$ was posted correctly in the Sales Ledger Control Account but entered as $₦400$ in the customer's individual account.

Calculate the corrected Sales Ledger Control Account balance after all necessary adjustments.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 151400

Cevap

The corrected Sales Ledger Control Account balance is 151,400

To arrive at the corrected Sales Ledger Control Account balance, only adjustments affecting the general ledger control account must be processed: add the ₦9,000 under-posted sales day book total, add ₦900 to correct the over-credited discount allowed, subtract ₦2,500 for the omitted contra entry, and subtract ₦1,800 for the omitted bad debt. The posting error in the individual debtor's personal account (item 5) does not affect the control account. Therefore,

145,800 + 9,000 + 900 - 2,500 - 1,800 = 151,400

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the unadjusted control account balance

Unadjusted Balance = ₦145,800 (Debit)

This is the starting point before error corrections.

2

Calculate adjustment for Sales Day Book posting error

Add ₦9,000 (₦54,200 - ₦45,200)

Sales Day Book total increases debtors, so under posting on the debit side of the control account requires a debit addition.

3

Calculate adjustment for Discount Allowed overstatement

Add ₦900 (₦4,300 - ₦3,400)

Discount allowed reduces debtors (credited to control account). Crediting ₦4,300 instead of ₦3,400 reduced the control account by ₦900 too much; hence, ₦900 must be debited back.

4

Adjust for omitted contra entry and bad debts

Deduct ₦2,500 (Contra) and deduct ₦1,800 (Bad debts)

Both contra entries and bad debts write-offs reduce total receivables and belong on the credit side of the Sales Ledger Control Account.

5

Evaluate subsidiary ledger error impact

No adjustment to control account for item 5

Errors in individual customer subsidiary ledger accounts affect the list of debtors/schedule of balances, not the control account in the general ledger.

6

Compute final corrected balance

145,800 + 9,000 + 900 - 2,500 - 1,800 = 151,400

Sum of initial balance and all valid general ledger control adjustments.

Ade & Sons purchased a delivery van on 1 April 2023 for $₦2,000,000$ . The firm depreciates its motor vehicles using the reducing balance method at the rate of $20\%$ per annum. The financial year of the business ends on 31 December each year. What is the total accumulated depreciation on the delivery van as of 31 December 2024?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 640000

Cevap

The total accumulated depreciation as of 31 December 2024 is ₦640,000.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the van was used for 9 months (April 1 to December 31). Depreciation for 2023 is

20\% \times ₦2,000,000 \times \frac{9}{12} = ₦300,000

. The net book value as of 31 December 2023 becomes

₦2,000,000 - ₦300,000 = ₦1,700,000

. For 2024, depreciation using the reducing balance method is

20\% \times ₦1,700,000 = ₦340,000

. The total accumulated depreciation as of 31 December 2024 is the sum of both years' depreciation charges:

₦300,000 + ₦340,000 = ₦640,000

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the time proportion and calculate depreciation for the first year (2023)

₦300,000

The asset was bought on 1 April 2023, so depreciation is charged for only 9 months in 2023:

20\% \times ₦2,000,000 \times \frac{9}{12} = ₦300,000

.

2

Calculate net book value (NBV) at the end of 2023

₦1,700,000

Under reducing balance method, future depreciation applies to the net book value (

₦2,000,000 - ₦300,000 = ₦1,700,000

).

3

Calculate depreciation for the second year (2024)

��340,000

Depreciation for a full year on reducing balance:

20\% \times ₦1,700,000 = ₦340,000

.

4

Sum depreciation for both years to get accumulated depreciation at 31 December 2024

₦640,000

Accumulated depreciation is the aggregate of all yearly depreciation charges (

₦300,000 + ₦340,000 = ₦640,000

).

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 332000

Cevap

The total prime cost of the manufacturing entity for the year is ₦332,000.

Prime cost is calculated by summing direct materials consumed (₦199,500), direct labour adjusted for accruals (₦110,000), and direct expenses such as production royalties (₦22,500). Indirect items like factory rent, machinery depreciation, and supervisor salaries are factory overheads and are excluded from prime cost, giving a final answer of ₦332,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the cost of raw materials consumed during the production period

Raw Materials Consumed = ₦45,000 + ₦185,000 + ₦12,500 - ₦8,000 - ₦35,000 = ₦199,500

Carriage inwards is added to purchases to obtain the total cost of raw materials delivered, returns outwards are deducted, and closing stock is subtracted to determine materials actually used in production.

2

Adjust direct wages paid for accrued wages at the end of the financial period

Direct Labour = ₦95,000 + ₦15,000 = ₦110,000

Under the accrual concept of accounting, incurred costs belonging to the period must be added to payments made.

3

Identify direct expenses attributable directly to production

Direct Expenses = Royalties on production = ₦22,500

Royalties paid per unit produced are direct expenses because they vary directly with output.

4

Sum all direct cost components to find Prime Cost

Prime Cost = ₦199,500 + ₦110,000 + ₦22,500 = ₦332,000

Prime cost is the aggregate of direct materials consumed, direct labour, and direct expenses. Indirect factory costs such as factory rent (₦40,000), plant depreciation (₦18,000), and supervisor salary (₦30,000) are factory overheads and must be excluded.

Cevap

The Accumulated Fund of Metro Executive Club as at 1st January 2025 is ₦1,071,000.

The Accumulated Fund is calculated using the fundamental statement of affairs equation: Accumulated Fund = Total Assets - Total Liabilities. Summing all asset items gives ₦850,000 (Club House) + ₦200,000 (Equipment) + ₦45,000 (Bar Inventory) + ₦18,000 (Subscriptions owing) + ₦4,000 (Prepaid insurance) + ₦8,500 (Cash in hand) = ₦1,125,500. Summing all liability items gives ₦12,000 (Subscriptions in advance) + ₦7,500 (Accrued electricity) + ₦35,000 (Bank overdraft) = ₦54,500. Subtracting liabilities from assets yields ₦1,125,500 - ₦54,500 = ₦1,071,000.

1

Calculate total credit additions to Ngozi's capital account.

₦450,000 + ₦100,000 + ₦45,000 + ₦80,000 + ₦120,000 = ₦795,000.

Under the fluctuating capital account system, opening capital, additional capital introduced, interest on capital, partner salaries, and shares of profit are credited to the partner's capital account.

Cevap: 45000

Cevap

The net profit for the year ended 31st December 2023 is ₦45,000.

Under the Statement of Affairs method, net profit is calculated by taking closing capital, adding back drawings, subtracting additional capital introduced, and deducting opening capital. Here, (₦180,000 + ₦15,000 - ₦30,000) - ₦120,000 = ₦45,000.

Net Profit = (Closing Capital + Drawings - Additional Capital) - Opening Capital

Drawings reduce ending capital so they must be added back, while additional capital increases ending capital so it must be deducted to determine profit generated purely from business operations.

2

Substitute the financial figures into the formula.

Net Profit = (₦180,000 + ₦15,000 - ₦30,000) - ₦120,000

What is the adjusted Cash Book balance in $\text{NGN}$ ? (Express an overdrawn balance as a negative number, e.g., $-5000$ ).

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -15550

Cevap

The adjusted Cash Book balance is an overdraft of

-\text{NGN } 15,550

.

To calculate the adjusted Cash Book balance, start with the unadjusted overdraft of

-\text{NGN } 14,800

. Add unrecorded receipts such as the direct credit of

\text{NGN } 3,400

. Deduct unrecorded payments and debits made by the bank, which include bank charges (

\text{NGN } 850

), standing order (

\text{NGN } 1,200

), and the dishonoured cheque (

\text{NGN } 2,100

). Unpresented cheques and uncredited lodgements are timing differences that are reconciled only in the Bank Reconciliation Statement, so they are not included in adjusting the Cash Book. Calculating

-\text{NGN } 14,800 + \text{NGN } 3,400 - \text{NGN } 850 - \text{NGN } 1,200 - \text{NGN } 2,100

gives

-\text{NGN } 15,550

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the starting Cash Book balance

Initial balance =

-\text{NGN } 14,800

(overdraft)

An overdrawn Cash Book balance is treated as a negative cash position.

2

Add items that increase the Cash Book balance

Add Direct Credit =

+\text{NGN } 3,400

. Running total =

-\text{NGN } 11,400

Direct credits are receipts deposited straight into the bank account by third parties which must be added to the Cash Book.

3

Deduct items that reduce the Cash Book balance

Deduct Bank Charges (

-\text{NGN } 850

), Standing Order (

-\text{NGN } 1,200

), and Dishonoured Cheque (

-\text{NGN } 2,100

). Total deductions =

-\text{NGN } 4,150

Bank charges, standing orders, and dishonoured cheques represent payments or uncollectible deposits recorded by the bank that must be debited/subtracted in the Cash Book.

4

Filter out items that do not belong in the Adjusted Cash Book

Unpresented cheques (

\text{NGN } 6,200

) and uncredited lodgements (

\text{NGN } 4,500

) are excluded from the Cash Book adjustment.

Unpresented cheques and uncredited lodgements are timing differences already correctly entered in the Cash Book, so they are adjusted in the Bank Reconciliation Statement rather than the Cash Book.

5

Calculate the final adjusted balance

Adjusted Cash Book balance =

-\text{NGN } 11,400 - \text{NGN } 4,150 = -\text{NGN } 15,550

Combining the initial overdraft with net adjustments gives the corrected balance.

Tunde and Folake are partners in an architectural firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $3:2$ . They agree to admit Ibrahim as a new partner with a $\frac{1}{4}$ share in the profits of the firm. If the total goodwill of the firm is valued at $\text{₦}20,000$ , what is the amount of goodwill premium in Naira that Ibrahim must bring in for his share?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5000

Cevap

The amount of goodwill premium that Ibrahim must bring in is 5,000 (or ₦5,000).

Upon admission, an incoming partner is required to bring in a goodwill premium equal to their fraction of the total goodwill valuation. Multiplying the total goodwill of ₦20,000 by Ibrahim's profit share of 1/4 yields ₦5,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the incoming partner's profit share

Ibrahim's share of profits is 1/4

The terms of admission grant Ibrahim a 1/4 share of total future profits.

Musa and Audu are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio $3:2$ . For the year ended 31 December 2025, the net profit before adjusting for interest on Musa's loan was $₦500,000$ . The partnership agreement provides for the following:
- Interest on Musa's loan: $₦20,000$
- Interest on capital: Musa $��30,000$ , Audu $₦20,000$

What is the net divisible profit available for distribution among the partners?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 380000

Cevap

The net divisible profit available for distribution is

₦380,000

.

The net divisible profit of

₦380,000

is calculated by starting with the adjusted net profit after loan interest (

₦500,000 - ₦20,000 = ₦480,000

), adding interest on drawings (

₦10,000 + ₦10,000 = ₦20,000

), and subtracting appropriations comprising interest on capital (

₦30,000 + ₦20,000 = ₦50,000

) and partner salary (

₦70,000

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Deduct interest on partner's loan from net profit

Adjusted Net Profit =

₦480,000

Interest on a partner's loan is a charge against profit in the Profit and Loss Account, not an appropriation.

2

Add total interest on drawings to net profit

Total Available Profit =

₦500,000

Interest on drawings is paid by partners to the firm, which increases total profit available for appropriation.

3

Deduct appropriations of profit (interest on capital and partner salary)

Net Divisible Profit =

₦380,000

Interest on capital (

₦50,000

) and Audu's salary (

₦70,000

) are appropriations of profit paid out of available profit.

A petty cashier was allocated an imprest float of ₦15,000 at the beginning of the month. During the month, payments were made for office stationery of ₦3,500, transport fares of ₦2,200, and cleaning supplies of ₦1,800. What amount of cash is required to reimburse the petty cashier at the end of the month to restore the float to its initial balance?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7500

Cevap

The reimbursement amount required to restore the imprest float is ₦7,500.

Under the imprest system of petty cash, a fixed float is established at the start of a period. At regular intervals, the petty cashier is reimbursed an amount equal to the total disbursements made during that period. Since total expenses incurred are ₦3,500 + ₦2,200 + ₦1,800 = ₦7,500, the reimbursement needed to restore the float to ₦15,000 is ₦7,500.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate total petty cash expenditure for the period

Total expenditure = ₦3,500 + ₦2,200 + ₦1,800 = ₦7,500

To find how much money was spent, sum up all petty cash vouchers.

Audu consigned $400$ cartons of goods costing $\text{₦}5,000$ per carton to Emeka. Audu paid carriage of $\text{₦}80,000$ and transit insurance of $\text{₦}40,000$ . Emeka received the consignment and paid landing charges of $\text{₦}60,000$ , godown rent of $\text{₦}30,000$ , and selling expenses of $\text{₦}50,000$ . At the end of the accounting period, Emeka reported that $300$ cartons had been sold. What is the total valuation of the unsold consignment stock in Naira?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 545000

Cevap

The total valuation of the unsold consignment stock is ₦545,000.

Unsold consignment stock is valued at cost plus a proportionate share of all non-recurring (direct) expenses incurred by both the consignor and consignee. The total non-recurring expenses are ₦120,000 (consignor carriage and transit insurance) plus ₦60,000 (consignee landing charges), totaling ₦180,000. Since 100 out of 400 cartons remain unsold (1/4 of total consignment), the proportionate direct expense share is ₦45,000. Adding this to the basic cost of 100 cartons (₦500,000) gives a final valuation of ₦545,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the quantity of unsold stock and its basic cost price

Unsold units = 400 - 300 = 100 units. Basic cost = 100 × ₦5,000 = ₦500,000.

Stock valuation starts with the original cost price of the unsold units.

2

Identify non-recurring (direct) expenses incurred by both consignor and consignee

Consignor expenses (carriage + transit insurance) = ₦80,000 + ₦40,000 = ₦120,000. Consignee non-recurring expenses (landing charges) = ₦60,000. Total direct expenses = ₦180,000.

Only direct/non-recurring expenses incurred to bring goods to their present location are included in unsold stock valuation. Recurring expenses (godown rent and selling expenses) are excluded.

3

Apportion the direct non-recurring expenses to the unsold stock

Proportionate share = (100 / 400) × ₦180,000 = ₦45,000.

Direct expenses are distributed proportionally based on the ratio of unsold units to total units consigned.

4

Sum basic cost price and proportionate direct expenses

Valuation of unsold stock = ₦500,000 + ₦45,000 = ₦545,000.

The final inventory value is the sum of basic cost and allocated non-recurring expenses.

A merchant's three-column cash book recorded the following transactions with a customer:
- Sold goods listed at $₦120,000$ subject to a $15\%$ trade discount.
- The customer settled half of the net invoice value by cheque within the prompt settlement period, receiving a $5\%$ cash discount.
- The remaining balance was settled later in cash, receiving a $2.5\%$ cash discount for early payment.

What is the total amount, in naira, recorded in the discount allowed column of the cash book for these transactions?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3825

Cevap

The total amount recorded in the discount allowed column is ₦3,825.

Trade discount of 15% (₦18,000) reduces the gross sales price from ₦120,000 to a net invoice amount of ₦102,000. Cash discounts apply only to cash payments made for prompt settlement and are calculated on the net invoice figure. The first settlement of half the account (₦51,000) earns a 5% discount equal to ₦2,550. The second settlement of the remaining ₦51,000 earns a 2.5% discount equal to ₦1,275. Adding both cash discounts yields a total of ₦3,825 entered in the discount allowed column.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the net invoice value after trade discount

Net Invoice Value = ₦102,000

Trade discounts are deducted from catalog list prices prior to recording transactions and do not appear in cash book discount columns.

2

Bello Plc has an authorized share capital of 800,000 ordinary shares of ₦1 each, out of which 400,000 ordinary shares are fully issued and paid up. If the directors propose a final dividend of 12% on the paid-up capital, what is the total amount payable as dividends to the ordinary shareholders?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 48000

Cevap

The total amount payable as dividends to ordinary shareholders is ₦48,000.

Dividends are declared and paid exclusively on issued and paid-up capital. With 400,000 issued and fully paid shares at ₦1 per share, the paid-up capital equals ₦400,000. A 12% dividend on ₦400,000 yields ₦48,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total paid-up share capital

Paid-up Share Capital = 400,000 shares × ₦1 = ₦400,000

Dividends are distributed based on capital actually paid up by shareholders, not authorized capital.

2

Calculate the dividend amount

Total Dividend = 12% × ₦400,000 = ₦48,000

Cevap: 327000

Cevap

The Prime Cost for Apex Manufacturing Enterprise for the year ended 31st December 2025 is ₦327,000.

Prime Cost is the sum of all direct costs incurred in manufacturing: Direct Materials Consumed (₦177,000) + Direct Labour (₦115,000) + Direct Expenses (₦35,000) = ₦327,000. Indirect costs (factory supervisor's salary, factory rent, and machinery depreciation) are factory overheads and must be excluded, as well as carriage outwards which is a selling expense.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate Direct Raw Materials Consumed

₦177,000

Opening Raw Materials (₦45,000) + Purchases (₦180,000) + Carriage Inwards (₦12,000) - Returns Outward (₦8,000) - Closing Raw Materials (₦52,000) = ₦177,000.

2

Calculate Total Direct Labour Cost

₦115,000

Direct Wages Paid (₦95,000) + Accrued Direct Wages at year-end (₦15,000) + Prepaid Direct Wages at start of year (₦5,000) = ₦115,000.

3

Calculate Total Direct Expenses

₦35,000

Royalties Paid on Production (₦25,000) + Hire of Special Machine for Production (₦10,000) = ₦35,000.

4

Identify and exclude indirect overheads and non-manufacturing expenses

Indirect factory items and selling expenses excluded

Factory supervisor's salary (₦40,000), factory rent and rates (₦30,000), and depreciation of factory machinery (₦18,000) are indirect manufacturing costs (factory overheads). Carriage outwards (₦14,000) is a selling expense.

5

Sum all direct cost components to arrive at Prime Cost

₦327,000

Prime Cost = Direct Materials Consumed (₦177,000) + Direct Labour (₦115,000) + Direct Expenses (₦35,000) = ₦327,000.
