Musa and Taraba entered into a joint venture to trade in grain, maintaining a separate set of books with a Joint Bank Account. Total sales revenue deposited into the Joint Bank Account amounted to \text{\mathbb{N}}850,000, while total venture purchases and expenses paid through the bank totaled \text{\mathbb{N}}600,000. If profits and losses are shared equally between Musa and Taraba, what is Musa's share of the net joint venture profit in Naira (\text{\mathbb{N}})?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 125000

Cevap

Musa's share of the net joint venture profit is 125,000 Naira.
The total profit of the joint venture is found by taking total revenues credited to the Joint Venture Account (\text{\mathbb{N}}850,000) minus total expenses debited to the Joint Venture Account (\text{\mathbb{N}}600,000), giving a net profit of \text{\mathbb{N}}250,000. Since profits are shared equally (1:1 ratio), Musa's share is half of \text{\mathbb{N}}250,000, which equals \text{\mathbb{N}}125,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the net profit of the joint venture
Net Profit = \text{\mathbb{N}}850,000 - \text{\mathbb{N}}600,000 = \text{\mathbb{N}}250,000
Net profit is calculated by deducting total joint venture costs and expenses from the total gross revenues.
2
Calculate Musa's share of the profit based on the equal profit-sharing agreement
Musa's Share = \text{\mathbb{N}}250,000 \times \frac{1}{2} = \text{\mathbb{N}}125,000
Since Musa and Taraba share profits equally, total net profit is divided by 2.

Calculate interest on capital for Aminu
₦135,000
Interest on opening capital of ₦1,200,000 at 10% per annum for 1 full year is ₦120,000. Interest on additional capital of ₦300,000 for 6 months (1st July to 31st December) at 10% per annum is ₦15,000 (₦300,000 × 10% × 6/12). Total interest on capital = ₦120,000 + ₦15,000 = ₦135,000.
2
Sum all credit entries in the fluctuating capital account
₦2,335,000
Under a fluctuating capital system, opening capital, current account balances, additions, and partner appropriations are combined. Total Credits = Opening Capital (₦1,200,000) + Opening Current Account (₦150,000) + Additional Capital (₦300,000) + Interest on Capital (₦135,000) + Partner Salary (₦200,000) + Share of Profit (₦350,000) = ₦2,335,000.

Sum all debit entries in the fluctuating capital account
₦192,000
Debit items that reduce partner equity include Drawings (₦180,000) + Interest on Drawings (₦12,000) = ₦192,000.
4
Calculate closing capital account balance
₦2,143,000
Subtract total debits from total credits: ₦2,335,000 - ₦192,000 = ₦2,143,000.

Using the Statement of Affairs method, calculate the net profit earned by Zainab for the year ended 31 December 2025 in Naira ().

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 115000

Cevap

The net profit earned by Zainab for the year ended 31 December 2025 is ₦115,000.
The correct answer is ₦115,000. Opening Capital is computed as Total Opening Assets (₦600,000) minus Total Opening Liabilities (₦120,000) = ₦480,000. Closing Capital is computed as Total Closing Assets (₦675,000) minus Total Closing Liabilities (₦100,000) = ₦575,000. Applying the single-entry profit formula: Net Profit = (Closing Capital + Drawings - Additional Capital) - Opening Capital = (₦575,000 + ₦60,000 - ₦40,000) - ₦480,000 = ₦595,000 - ₦480,000 = ₦115,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate Opening Capital as at 1 January 2025.
Opening Capital = ₦480,000
Opening Capital = Total Opening Assets (Equipment ₦350,000 + Inventory ₦120,000 + Debtors ₦80,000 + Bank ₦50,000 = ₦600,000) − Total Opening Liabilities (Creditors ₦100,000 + Accrued Rent ₦20,000 = ₦120,000).
2
Calculate Closing Capital as at 31 December 2025.
Closing Capital = ₦575,000
Closing Capital = Total Closing Assets (Equipment ₦320,000 + Inventory ₦150,000 + Debtors ₦95,000 + Bank ₦110,000 = ₦675,000) − Total Closing Liabilities (Creditors ₦85,000 + Accrued Utilities ₦15,000 = ₦100,000).
3
Calculate Adjusted Closing Capital by adding back drawings and deducting additional capital introduced.
Adjusted Closing Capital = ₦595,000
Adjusted Closing Capital = Closing Capital (₦575,000) + Drawings (₦60,000) − Additional Capital (₦40,000).
4
Calculate Net Profit by subtracting Opening Capital from Adjusted Closing Capital.
Net Profit = ₦115,000
Net Profit = Adjusted Closing Capital (₦595,000) − Opening Capital (₦480,000).

- Total interest on drawings charged to partners: ₦20,000 (Folake: ₦10,000; Biodun: ₦10,000)

What is Biodun's share of the net divisible profit in Naira (₦)?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 130000

Cevap

Biodun's share of the net divisible profit is ₦130,000.
Interest on a partner's loan is a charge against profit, reducing net profit from ₦680,000 to ₦660,000. In the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account, interest on drawings of ₦20,000 is added, bringing the total to ₦680,000. Deducting interest on capital (₦60,000) and partner salary (₦100,000) leaves a net divisible profit of ₦520,000. Biodun's share (1/4) equals ₦130,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate adjusted net profit before appropriation
₦660,000
Interest on a partner's loan is a financial charge to the Profit and Loss Account, not an item of appropriation.
2
Add interest on drawings to adjusted net profit
₦680,000
Interest on drawings is income to the firm and increases the pool of profit available for distribution.
3
Deduct appropriations (interest on capital and salary)
₦520,000
Interest on capital (₦60,000) and Biodun's salary (₦100,000) are appropriations out of profit.

What was the total amount of cash received from credit debtors during the year?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 141600

Cevap

The total amount of cash received from credit debtors during the year was ₦141,600.
The correct cash received from debtors (₦141,600) is obtained by solving for the missing credit entry in the Sales Ledger Control Account. Total debit items (opening debit balance of ₦52,000 + credit sales of ₦170,000 + dishonoured cheque of ₦4,200 + cash refund of ₦1,800 + closing credit balance of ₦800) equal ₦228,800. Subtracting all known credit side items (opening credit balance of ₦1,500 + returns inwards of ₦6,500 + discount allowed of ₦3,800 + bad debts of ₦2,400 + contra set-off of ₦5,000 + closing debit balance of ₦68,000 = ₦87,200) gives ₦141,600.

1
Calculate net credit sales by excluding cash sales
Credit Sales = ₦210,000 - ₦40,000 = ₦170,000
Cash sales are entered directly in the cash book and do not affect the sales ledger control account.
2
Calculate total debit side entries plus closing credit balance
Total Debits = ₦52,000 + ₦170,000 + ₦4,200 + ₦1,800 + ₦800 = ₦228,800
Opening debit balances, credit sales, customer refunds, dishonoured cheques, and closing credit balances all increase total debit side positioning.
3
Calculate sum of known non-cash credit side entries plus closing debit balance
Total Known Credits = ₦1,500 + ₦6,500 + ₦3,800 + ₦2,400 + ₦5,000 + ₦68,000 = ₦87,200
Returns inwards, discounts allowed, bad debts written off, set-offs, opening credit balances, and closing debit balances reduce debtor accounts.
4
Determine missing cash received by balancing the account
Cash Received = ₦228,800 - ₦87,200 = ₦141,600
Provision for doubtful debts (₦3,500) is an adjustment in financial statements and is completely excluded from the sales ledger control account.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 387000

Cevap

The closing debit balance of the Sales Ledger Control Account as at 31st December 2026 is N387,000.
To find the closing debit balance of the Sales Ledger Control Account, add all transactions that increase debtors (opening debit balance, credit sales, dishonoured cheques, interest charged, customer refunds) to get N1,197,000. Then subtract all transactions that reduce debtors (cash received, discount allowed, bad debts, returns inwards, and the contra entry set-off of N35,000) totaling N810,000. Provision for doubtful debts is excluded because it is an estimated adjustment rather than a direct transaction with debtors. The resulting net balance is N387,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Sum all debit entries in the Sales Ledger Control Account
Total Debits = 320,000 + 850,000 + 15,000 + 4,000 + 8,000 = 1,197,000
Opening debit balance, credit sales, dishonoured cheques, interest charged on overdue accounts, and customer refunds increase the total indebtedness of trade debtors.
2
Sum all credit entries in the Sales Ledger Control Account including contra set-offs
Total Credits = 710,000 + 25,000 + 18,000 + 22,000 + 35,000 = 810,000
Cash receipts, discounts allowed, bad debts, returns inwards, and contra set-offs against purchases ledger reduce the indebtedness of debtors.
3
Exclude irrelevant non-control account transactions
Provision for doubtful debts of N12,000 is excluded.
Provisions for doubtful debts are recorded in the Profit and Loss account and Provision account, never in the Sales Ledger Control Account.
4
Deduct total credits from total debits to compute the closing balance
Closing Balance = 1,197,000 - 810,000 = 387,000
The net remaining debit balance reflects the outstanding amount owed by trade debtors at the end of the accounting period.

Cevap: 645000

Cevap

The net working capital of Alabi Enterprises as at year-end is ₦645,000.
Working capital is calculated as Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. Summing net trade receivables (₦390,000), inventory (₦540,000), prepaid insurance (₦35,000), and cash at bank (₦125,000) gives ₦1,090,000 in current assets. Subtracting current liabilities comprising trade payables (₦310,000), bank overdraft (₦95,000), and accrued wages (₦40,000) totaling ₦445,000 yields ₦645,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify and total all Current Assets
Current Assets = Inventory (₦540,000) + Net Trade Receivables (₦410,000 - ₦20,000 = ₦390,000) + Prepaid Insurance (₦35,000) + Cash at Bank (₦125,000) = ₦1,090,000
Non-current assets like Motor Vans are excluded from working capital calculations. Provision for bad debts must be deducted from gross trade receivables to show net realizable debtors.
2
Identify and total all Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = Trade Payables (₦310,000) + Bank Overdraft (₦95,000) + Accrued Wages (₦40,000) = ₦445,000
Current liabilities are short-term obligations payable within one accounting period. The 3-Year Bank Loan is a long-term (non-current) liability and must be excluded.
3
Calculate Net Working Capital
Working Capital = Total Current Assets - Total Current Liabilities = ₦1,090,000 - ₦445,000 = ₦645,000
Working capital represents the net operational liquidity available to a business.

Cevap: 67000000

Cevap

67000000
The closing balance of the Consolidated Revenue Fund is determined by adding the net recurrent surplus (₦44,000,000) to the opening balance (₦45,000,000) and subtracting the statutory transfer to the Capital Development Fund (₦22,000,000), giving ₦67,000,000. Capital grants (₦15,000,000) are excluded from CRF revenue as they accrue directly to the Capital Development Fund, while the Contingencies Fund reimbursement (₦6,000,000) must be included as a CRF recurrent outlay.
