A firm has unsold inventory at the end of the accounting period with a total cost of N95,000\text{N}95,000. The estimated selling price of this inventory is N90,000\text{N}90,000, and the estimated expenses necessary to complete the sale are N2,000\text{N}2,000. In accordance with the prudence concept, what is the value of closing stock (in Naira) to be credited to the Trading Account?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 88000

Cevap

The value of closing stock to be credited to the Trading Account is N88,000.
Closing stock is valued at the lower of cost (N95,000) and Net Realizable Value (NRV). The NRV is calculated by deducting estimated selling expenses (N2,000) from the estimated selling price (N90,000), yielding N88,000. Since N88,000 is lower than N95,000, N88,000 is used in the final accounts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the Net Realizable Value (NRV)
NRV = N90,000 - N2,000 = N88,000
Net Realizable Value is the estimated selling price minus any costs needed to bring the goods to a salable state and complete the sale.
2
Compare Cost Price and Net Realizable Value
Lower of N95,000 (Cost) and N88,000 (NRV) is N88,000
According to the accounting concept of prudence, inventory must be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value to avoid overstating assets and profit.

What is the retained profit balance carried forward to the next accounting period?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 126000

Cevap

The retained profit balance carried forward to the next accounting period is ₦126,000.
The retained profit carried forward to the next period is determined by taking the total profit available (retained profit brought forward of ₦45,000 plus net profit for the year of ₦180,000 = ₦225,000) and deducting total appropriations: general reserve transfer (₦18,000), preference share dividend (₦16,000), interim ordinary dividend (₦25,000), and proposed final ordinary dividend (₦40,000), giving a final balance of ₦126,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate total profit available for appropriation
₦225,000
Total profit available is the sum of retained profit brought forward (₦45,000) and net profit earned during the year (₦180,000).
2
Calculate transfer to General Reserve
₦18,000
The transfer to General Reserve is computed as 10% of the current year's net profit of ₦180,000.
3
Calculate preference share dividend
₦16,000
Preference dividend is calculated at 8% on the paid-up preference share capital of ₦200,000.
4
Calculate ordinary share interim and final dividends
Interim: ₦25,000; Final: ₦40,000
Dividends are calculated on issued ordinary share capital (₦500,000). Interim dividend = 5% of ₦500,000 = ₦25,000; Proposed final dividend = 8% of ₦500,000 = ₦40,000.
5
Deduct total appropriations from total profit available
₦126,000
Retained profit carried forward = ₦225,000 - (₦18,000 + ₦16,000 + ₦25,000 + ₦40,000) = ₦225,000 - ₦99,000 = ₦126,000.

When compiling the Trial Balance, the Cash at Bank account balance was completely omitted, causing a disagreement between total debits and total credits. A Suspense Account was opened for the difference. What is the value in Naira (₦) of the entry required in the Suspense Account to balance the Trial Balance?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 284000

Cevap

The entry required in the Suspense Account to balance the Trial Balance is ₦284,000.
To find the initial Suspense Account balance, separate the extracted ledger balances into debit and credit columns. Summing the debit balances yields ₦2,608,000, while summing the credit balances yields ₦2,892,000. The shortfall on the debit side is ₦2,892,000 - ₦2,608,000 = ₦284,000, which is the exact amount placed in the Suspense Account to temporarily balance the Trial Balance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Classify all listed accounts into debit and credit balances and sum the debit balances.
Total extracted debits = ₦2,608,000.
Assets (Land, Vehicles, Fixtures, Debtors), Expenses (Purchases, Carriage Inward/Outward, Discount Allowed, General Expenses, Rent & Rates), Drawings, and Returns Inward are debit balances.
2
Sum all extracted credit balances.
Total extracted credits = ₦2,892,000.
Capital, Liabilities (Creditors, Bank Overdraft), Revenues/Gains (Sales, Discount Received), Contra-assets (Provision for Doubtful Debts), and Returns Outward are credit balances.
3
Compute the difference between total credit balances and total debit balances.
Suspense account entry = ₦284,000.
Because the Cash at Bank account (a debit balance) was omitted, total credits exceeded total debits by ₦284,000, requiring a debit entry of ₦284,000 in the Suspense Account.

Cevap: 68000

Cevap

The net profit from bar trading transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account is ₦68,000.
The net profit from bar trading is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold (₦155,000) from total bar takings (₦250,000) to arrive at a gross profit of ₦95,000. Operating expenses specific to the bar, consisting of staff wages (₦22,000) and electricity adjusted for prepayment (₦7,000 - ₦2,000 = ₦5,000), total ₦27,000. Deducting total bar expenses from gross profit gives a net profit of ₦68,000 to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold for the bar
₦155,000
Cost of Goods Sold is calculated as Opening Inventory + Bar Purchases - Closing Inventory = ₦30,000 + ₦160,000 - ₦35,000 = ₦155,000.
2
Determine the Bar Gross Profit
₦95,000
Bar Gross Profit equals Bar Takings minus Cost of Goods Sold = ₦250,000 - ₦155,000 = ₦95,000.
3
Calculate the total bar operating expenses incorporating adjustments
₦27,000
Adjusted Bar Electricity = ₦7,000 paid - ₦2,000 prepaid = ₦5,000. Total Bar Expenses = Bar Wages (���22,000) + Adjusted Electricity (₦5,000) = ₦27,000.
4
Calculate net bar profit to transfer to the Income and Expenditure Account
₦68,000
Net Bar Profit = Gross Profit - Total Expenses = ₦95,000 - ₦27,000 = ₦68,000.

Cevap: 200000

Cevap

The total net carrying amount of manufacturing inventories in the Statement of Financial Position is 200,000₦200,000.
In the Statement of Financial Position of a manufacturing entity, inventories under current assets must be shown at cost. Raw materials (62,000₦62,000) and work-in-progress (38,000₦38,000) are brought in at cost. Finished goods transferred at cost plus 20%20\% (120,000₦120,000) must be adjusted by deducting the provision for unrealized profit (20120×120,000=20,000\frac{20}{120} \times ₦120,000 = ₦20,000), bringing finished goods to its net cost of 100,000₦100,000. Summing all three yields 62,000+38,000+100,000=200,000₦62,000 + ₦38,000 + ₦100,000 = ₦200,000.

Cevap: 405000

Cevap

The correct net profit for the year is 405,000₦405,000.
When goods are taken by the proprietor for personal use, the correct accounting entry is to debit Drawings Account and credit Purchases Account at cost price (60,000₦60,000).

What is the net adjustment (increase in provision for unrealized profit) to be debited to the Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31 December 2025?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8000

Cevap

The net increase in provision for unrealized profit to be debited to the Profit and Loss Account is ₦8,000.
The profit element contained in finished goods inventory transferred at cost plus 25%25\% mark-up is 25125=20%\frac{25}{125} = 20\% of the transfer value. The unrealized profit in opening inventory is 20%×60,000=12,00020\% \times \text{₦}60,000 = \text{₦}12,000 and in closing inventory is 20%×100,000=20,00020\% \times \text{₦}100,000 = \text{₦}20,000. The net adjustment (increase) to be charged to the Profit and Loss Account is 20,00012,000=8,000\text{₦}20,000 - \text{₦}12,000 = \text{₦}8,000.

1
Convert mark-up on cost to profit margin on transfer value.
Margin = 25100+25=25125=15=20%\frac{25}{100 + 25} = \frac{25}{125} = \frac{1}{5} = 20\%.
Because inventory is valued at transfer price (cost plus mark-up), the profit component embedded in the transfer price must be calculated using the margin fraction.
2
Compute the provision for unrealized profit in the opening inventory of finished goods.
Opening Provision = 15×60,000=12,000\frac{1}{5} \times \text{₦}60,000 = \text{₦}12,000.
To determine the profit element carried forward from the previous year.

The branch's physical inventory count at the close of the period showed stock on hand valued at 36,000\text{₦}36,000 at invoice price. What is the total stock reserve (unrealized profit) required for the combined closing stock, including goods in transit, at the financial year-end?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12750

Cevap

The total stock reserve required for the total closing stock, including goods in transit, is ₦12,750.
To find the total unrealized profit (stock reserve), we must first identify all stock owned at year-end at invoice price. Goods sent (₦180,000) less goods received (₦165,000) leaves ₦15,000 in transit. Adding this to the physical inventory (₦36,000) gives a total closing stock of ₦51,000 at invoice price. Converting the mark-up of 33 1/3% (1/3 on cost) yields a margin of 25% (1/4 on invoice price). Taking 25% of ₦51,000 gives ₦12,750.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the value of goods in transit at invoice price
₦15,000
Goods dispatched by Head Office (₦180,000) minus goods received by Branch (₦165,000) gives the unrecorded stock still in transit.
2
Calculate total closing stock held by the branch at invoice price
₦51,000
Total closing stock includes physical stock on hand at the branch (₦36,000) plus goods in transit (₦15,000).
3
Convert the loading rate from mark-up on cost to margin on selling (invoice) price
25% (or 1/4)
A mark-up of 33 1/3% (1/3) on cost is equivalent to a profit margin of (1/3) / (1 + 1/3) = 1/4 (25%) on invoice price.
4
Compute the total stock reserve (unrealized profit)
₦12,750
Stock Reserve = Total Closing Stock at Invoice Price × Profit Margin = ₦51,000 × 25% = ₦12,750.

What is the Cost of Goods Sold for the business for the year?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 150000

Cevap

The Cost of Goods Sold for the year is 150,000₦150,000.
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold, first reconstruct the Creditors Control Account to calculate total purchases: Purchases = Cash Paid (145,000₦145,000) + Discount Received (5,000₦5,000) + Closing Creditors (28,000₦28,000) - Opening Creditors (22,000₦22,000) = 156,000₦156,000. Then apply the Trading Account formula: Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Inventory (18,000₦18,000) + Purchases (156,000₦156,000) - Closing Inventory (24,000₦24,000) = 150,000₦150,000.

Cevap: 120000

Cevap

The true net profit of the business for the year ended 31 December 2025 is 120,000₦120,000.
To determine the true net profit, we adjust the draft net profit for accounting errors affecting revenue and expenses. First, the capital introduced (500,000₦500,000) was wrongly included in sales revenue, so profit was overstated by 500,000₦500,000. Second, goods withdrawn (60,000₦60,000 cost) were wrongly recorded as sales at selling price (80,000₦80,000). Reversing the incorrect sales credit reduces profit by 80,000₦80,000, while crediting Purchases at cost reduces cost of goods sold, increasing profit by 60,000₦60,000 (a net deduction of 20,000₦20,000). Cash drawings do not impact profit. Subtracting 500,000₦500,000 and 20,000₦20,000 from 640,000₦640,000 yields a true net profit of 120,000₦120,000.

Draft profit reduced by 500,000₦500,000
Crediting the personal building brought into the business to Sales overstated trading revenue and net profit by 500,000₦500,000. Capital introduced must be credited to Capital Account, not Sales Account.
2
Correct the misclassification of goods withdrawn for personal use
Net decrease in profit of 20,000₦20,000
Goods withdrawn for personal use must be debited to Drawings and credited to Purchases at cost price (60,000₦60,000). Because they were wrongly recorded as credit sales at selling price (80,000₦80,000), Sales was overstated by 80,000₦80,000 (reducing profit by 80,000₦80,000) and Purchases was overstated by 60,000₦60,000 (increasing profit by 60,000₦60,000 when corrected).

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3000

Cevap

The net increase in the provision for unrealized profit (stock reserve) is ₦3,000.
Unrealized profit contained in inventory invoiced at cost plus 25% is calculated using a profit margin of 20% (1/5) on invoice price. The opening stock reserve is 20% of ₦40,000 = ₦8,000, and the closing stock reserve is 20% of ₦55,000 = ₦11,000. Deducting the opening reserve balance from the closing reserve balance gives a net increase of ₦3,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the profit margin fraction on invoice price
Margin = 25% / (100% + 25%) = 1/5 or 20%
Since mark-up is calculated on cost, the unrealized profit component within the invoice price is 20% of the invoice value.
2
Compute the opening and closing stock reserves
Opening Stock Reserve = 20% of ₦40,000 = ₦8,000; Closing Stock Reserve = 20% of ₦55,000 = ₦11,000
Stock reserve represents the unrealized profit loading embedded in branch stock valued at invoice price.
3
Determine the net adjustment required in the stock reserve account
Net Increase = ₦11,000 - ₦8,000 = ₦3,000
The net charge to the general profit and loss account is the difference between closing and opening stock reserve balances.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 10000

Cevap

The estimated value of the closing stock at the end of the year is ₦10,000.
To calculate the closing stock from incomplete records, first convert mark-up to find Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). Dividing total sales revenue (₦180,000) by 1.20 gives a COGS of ₦150,000. Adding opening stock (₦18,000) to purchases (₦142,000) yields total goods available for sale of ₦160,000. Subtracting COGS (₦150,000) from total goods available (₦160,000) results in an estimated closing stock of ₦10,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) using the mark-up rate
COGS = ₦180,000 ÷ (1 + 0.20) = ₦150,000
Since mark-up is 20% on cost, Selling Price is equal to 120% of cost.
2
Determine the Total Goods Available for Sale
Goods Available for Sale = ₦18,000 + ₦142,000 = ₦160,000
Total goods available for sale during the year is the sum of opening stock and net purchases.
3
Deduce the Closing Stock figure
Closing Stock = ₦160,000 - ₦150,000 = ₦10,000
Closing stock is estimated by subtracting Cost of Goods Sold from total goods available for sale.
