A trader calculated his profit for the year as $24,500. He then discovered the following errors: 1. Insurance prepaid at the end of the year, $200, was completely omitted from the ledger. 2. The purchase of office furniture costing $1,500 had been debited to the office expenses account.
What was the correct profit for the year after correcting these errors?
A.It decreased by $1,300.
B.It increased by $1,300.
C.It decreased by $1,700.
D.It increased by $1,700.
查看答案详解收起答案详解
解题
To correct the first error: Prepaid insurance is a current asset and must be deducted from the insurance expense of the year, which increases profit by $200. To correct the second error: Office furniture is a capital expenditure. Debiting it to office expenses incorrectly inflated the expenses. Correcting this reduces expenses, which increases profit by $1,500. Corrected profit = \( 24500 + 200 + 1500 = 26200 \), which is an overall increase of $1,700.

A business bought a machine for $12,000 on 1 January 2022. It depreciates machinery at 20% per annum using the reducing balance method. The machine was sold on 1 January 2024 for $7,200. What was the profit or loss on the disposal of the machine?
A.$480 loss
B.$480 profit
C.$2,400 loss
D.$2,400 profit
查看答案详解收起答案详解
解题
Cost of machine = $12,000. Depreciation for 2022 = \( 12000 \times 20\% = 2400 \). Net Book Value (NBV) on 31 Dec 2022 = \( 12000 - 2400 = 9600 \). Depreciation for 2023 = \( 9600 \times 20\% = 1920 \). Net Book Value (NBV) on 31 Dec 2023 = \( 9600 - 1920 = 7680 \). Loss on disposal = NBV - Sale proceeds = \( 7680 - 7200 = 480 \).

On 1 June 2024, H Limited had an ordinary share capital of $200,000 (shares of $0.50 each), a general reserve of $45,000, and retained earnings of $30,000. During the year ended 31 May 2025, the company made a profit of $60,000, transferred $15,000 to the general reserve, and paid a dividend of $0.05 per share. What was the total equity of the company on 31 May 2025?
A.$295,000
B.$300,000
C.$315,000
D.$330,000
查看答案详解收起答案详解
解题
Number of ordinary shares = \( 200000 / 0.50 = 400000 \) shares. Dividend paid = \( 400000 \times 0.05 = 20000 \). Opening Equity = \( 200000 + 45000 + 30000 = 275000 \). Closing Equity = Opening Equity + Profit - Dividend = \( 275000 + 60000 - 20000 = 315000 \). The transfer to the general reserve remains within equity and does not affect the total.

Revenue expenditure is money spent on the day-to-day running of a business. Replacing a broken window in the office is a repair and maintenance expense, which is classified as revenue expenditure. All other options (purchasing a second-hand delivery van, installing a computer network, and paying legal fees for purchasing property) are capital expenditures because they provide long-term benefits or are costs incurred to acquire and bring a non-current asset into use.

After preparing the income statement, a trader discovered two errors: 1. Rent paid, $600, had been debited to the landlord's personal account instead of the rent account. 2. A cash purchase of stationery, $45, was completely omitted from the books. What is the effect of correcting these errors on the profit for the year?

B.decrease by $645
C.increase by $555
D.increase by $645

解题
Let's analyze the effect of correcting each error: (1) Correcting the rent error requires debiting the rent account with $600, which increases expenses and therefore decreases profit by $600. (2) Correcting the omitted stationery purchase requires debiting stationery with $45, which increases expenses and therefore decreases profit by $45. The total effect of these corrections on profit is a decrease of $600 + $45 = $645.

At 30 September, a trader's bank statement showed a credit balance of $1250. On comparing the bank statement with the cash book, the following were discovered: - Bank charges of $35 had not been recorded in the cash book. - A cheque of $450 paid to a credit supplier was unpresented. - A cheque of $220 received from a customer was not yet credited by the bank. What was the balance in the cash book before updating?
A.$1020
B.$1055
C.$1480
D.$1515
查看答案详解收起答案详解
解题
We can find the updated cash book balance first: \(\text{Bank statement balance} = \$1250\) (asset/credit balance). Using the formula: \(\text{Updated cash book balance} + \text{unpresented cheques} - \text{uncleared lodgements} = \text{Bank statement balance}\), we get: \(\text{Updated cash book balance} + \$450 - \$220 = \$1250 \implies \text{Updated cash book balance} = \$1020\). Next, we find the cash book balance before updating: \(\text{Original cash book balance} - \text{Bank charges} = \text{Updated cash book balance} \implies \text{Original cash book balance} - \$35 = \$1020 \implies \text{Original cash book balance} = \$1055\).

A limited company provided the following information on 1 January 2024: Ordinary share capital: $200 000, General reserve: $30 000, Retained earnings: $18 000. During the year ended 31 December 2024, the company: - made a profit for the year of $35 000, - transferred $5 000 to the general reserve, - paid an ordinary share dividend of $12 000. What was the total value of equity on 31 December 2024?
A.$236\,000
B.$241\,000
C.$246\,000
D.$271\,000
查看答案详解收起答案详解
解题
Total equity consists of Ordinary Share Capital + General Reserve + Retained Earnings. Beginning Equity = $200\,000 + $30\,000 + $18\,000 = $248\,000. Profit for the year increases total equity by $35\,000. Transfer to general reserve has no net effect on total equity (it decreases retained earnings and increases general reserve by the same amount of $5\,000). Ordinary dividends paid decrease total equity by $12\,000. Therefore, Ending Equity = $248\,000 + $35\,000 - $12\,000 = $271\,000.

A.$66\,900
B.$78\,900
C.$82\,300
D.$94\,300

解题
Prime Cost = Cost of Raw Materials Consumed + Direct Wages. Cost of Raw Materials Consumed = \text{Opening inventory of raw materials} + \text{Purchases of raw materials} + \text{Carriage inwards} - \text{Closing inventory of raw materials} = $8\,500 + $42\,000 + $1\,100 - $9\,200 = $42\,400. Direct Wages = \text{Wages of factory operatives} = $24\,500. Prime Cost = $42\,400 + $24\,500 = $66\,900.

The materiality principle state that items of very low value do not need to be treated strictly according to standard non-current asset accounting procedures (such as capitalizing and depreciating over time) if the impact on the financial statements is insignificant.

Let's analyze the effects of correcting each error: 1. Rent received of $450 was debited to the rent payable account. Rent payable is an expense, so debiting it reduced profit by $450. Rent received is income, so not crediting it reduced profit by another $450. Correcting this error requires crediting Rent Payable (increasing profit by $450) and crediting Rent Received (increasing profit by $450). Total profit increase is $900. 2. The sales journal was undercast by $1,200. Correcting this requires crediting the Sales account, which increases sales revenue and thus increases profit by $1,200.

$$\text{Total Equity at 1 January 2024} = \$200\,000 + \$45\,000 + \$15\,000 = \$260\,000$$
$$\text{Total Equity at 31 December 2024} = \$260\,000 + \$38\,000 - \$12\,000 = \$286\,000$$
Note: The transfer of $8000 to the general reserve is an internal movement between reserves (it decreases retained earnings and increases the general reserve by the same amount), so it does not affect the total equity.

查看答案详解收起答案详解
解题
A debit balance on a bank statement represents an overdraft of $1100 (which is negative in bank reconciliation calculations, $-$1100$).
The items found when updating the cash book (bank interest and direct debit) are already reflected in the bank statement balance, so they are not adjusted again in the bank reconciliation statement.

解题
(a) **Clara** **Manufacturing Account for the year ended 31 December 2024**
**Cost of Materials Consumed** - Opening inventory of raw materials: $8,400 - Purchases of raw materials: $62,300 - Add Carriage inwards: $1,800 - Less Closing inventory of raw materials: ($9,200) - **Cost of raw materials consumed**: $63,300
- Cost of manufacturing: $156,400 - Add Opening Work in Progress: $11,200 - Less Closing Work in Progress: ($10,500) - **COST OF PRODUCTION**: $157,100
(b) **Valuation of Closing Inventory of Sandals:** - 600 perfect pairs: Cost ($18) is lower than NRV ($30). Value = 600 * $18 = $10,800 - 150 damaged pairs: NRV ($22 - $6 = $16) is lower than Cost ($18). Value = 150 * $16 = $2,400 - 50 ruined pairs: NRV is $0. Value = 50 * $0 = $0 - **Total Sandals Inventory Value**: $10,800 + $2,400 = $13,200
(c) **Cost of Sales of Sandals:** - Opening inventory of sandals: $14,000 - Add Purchases of sandals: $31,500 - Less Closing inventory of sandals: ($13,200) - **Cost of Sales**: $32,300
(d) - **Prudence Principle**: Assets and income should not be overstated, and liabilities and expenses should not be understated. It dictates that inventory should be valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
