2023 Edexcel IGCSE Accounting 模擬試題連答案詳解

A credit note is issued by a supplier to reduce the amount owed by a customer, representing a correction or refund for overcharging or returned goods.

Award 1 mark for the correct selection of credit note.

Trade discount must be deducted before recording credit transactions in the books of original entry. Net credit sales value is $800 \times (1 - 0.10) = $720. Credit sales are recorded in the Sales journal.

Award 1 mark for selecting the correct book (Sales journal) and the correct calculated amount of $720.

Revenue expenditure represents everyday operating costs incurred to run the business. Annual road tax and insurance are recurring operating expenses. Capital expenditure includes the cost of purchasing non-current assets and any one-off costs required to bring them into their intended use (such as logo painting and security systems installed prior to first use).

Award 1 mark for identifying the recurring annual road tax and insurance as revenue expenditure.

The business entity concept dictates that the transactions of a business must be kept separate from the personal transactions of its owner. Since the computer printer was purchased for personal use, it should have been treated as drawings, not as a business expense.

Award 1 mark for correctly identifying the business entity concept.

A contra entry reduces the liability to the trade payables. Since the Trade Payables Control Account has a normal credit balance, a reduction in the balance owed must be debited.

Award 1 mark for identifying that the contra entry is recorded on the debit side only.

A trial balance will fail to agree if there is a single-entry error (where one side of a transaction is recorded but the other side is omitted). Debiting the supplier's account without a corresponding credit in the cash/bank account will leave the ledger out of balance. The other errors listed are errors of omission, original entry, and principle, which do not disrupt the equality of debits and credits.

Award 1 mark for identifying the single-entry error as the cause of trial balance disagreement.

The residual profit is calculated as the net profit for the year less any partnership salaries: \(\text{Residual Profit} = \$36,000 - \$6,000 = \$30,000\). Partner Y's share is \(\frac{1}{3} \times \$30,000 = \$10,000\).

Award 1 mark for calculating Partner Y's residual profit share of $10,000.

The cost of raw materials consumed is calculated as: \(\text{Opening Inventory of Raw Materials} + \text{Purchases of Raw Materials} + \text{Carriage Inwards} - \text{Closing Inventory of Raw Materials}\). Thus: \(\$12,000 + \$85,000 + \$3,000 - \$14,000 = \$86,000\).

Award 1 mark for calculating the correct cost of raw materials consumed as $86,000.

Capital expenditure includes the purchase cost of the non-current asset and any costs directly incurred to bring the asset into its working location and condition for its intended use.

Capitalized costs:
- Purchase price: $25 000
- Delivery charge: $1 500
- Installation costs: $800

\(\text{Total Capitalized Cost} = \$25\,000 + \$1\,500 + \$800 = \$27\,300\)

Note: Insurance for the first year is a revenue expenditure (recurring operational expense), and the repair of a damaged part is also a revenue expenditure (avoidable repair/maintenance cost).

1 mark for selecting B. 0 marks for all other options.

The materiality concept states that insignificant items do not need to be treated strictly in accordance with standard accounting rules if the cost of doing so outweighs the benefit, and if it does not mislead the users of the financial statements. Recording a very low-value item like a $15 calculator as a non-current asset and depreciating it over five years is immaterial and time-consuming, so it is treated as a revenue expense.

1 mark for selecting C. 0 marks for all other options.

**(i) Trade discount amount**
\(15\% \times \$600 = \$90\)

**(ii) Net cost of returned goods**
\(\$600 - \$90 = \$510\)

**(iii) VAT amount**
\(20\% \times \$510 = \$102\)

**(iv) Total Credit amount**
\(\$510 + \$102 = \$612\)

**(v) Book of prime entry for Orion Ltd**
Orion Ltd is returning goods to a supplier. This is a purchase return, so it is recorded in the **Purchases returns journal** (or **Returns outwards journal**).

Award 1 mark for each correct calculation/identification as follows:

(i) \(\$90\) [1 mark]
(ii) \(\$510\) [1 mark] (Accept own figure: \(\$600\) - own trade discount)
(iii) \(\$102\) [1 mark] (Accept own figure: own net cost \(\times 20\%\))
(iv) \(\$612\) [1 mark] (Accept own figure: own net cost + own VAT)
(v) Purchases returns journal / Returns outwards journal [1 mark] (Do not accept Purchases journal, Sales returns journal, or General journal)

1. **Legal fees incurred in purchasing a new business warehouse**: Classified as **Capital Expenditure**. Legal costs directly associated with acquiring a non-current asset are treated as capital costs because they are necessary to bring the asset into ownership and use.
2. **Cost of redecorating the office staff room**: Classified as **Revenue Expenditure**. Redecorating is a regular maintenance cost that maintains, rather than increases, the value or earning capacity of the asset.
3. **Carriage costs paid to transport a new production machine**: Classified as **Capital Expenditure**. Carriage-in on a non-current asset is a directly attributable cost required to bring the asset to its working location and condition.
4. **Annual maintenance contract fee for the office computers**: Classified as **Revenue Expenditure**. Ongoing service and maintenance agreements represent regular operating expenses of running the business.
5. **Purchase of a new motor vehicle for deliveries**: Classified as **Capital Expenditure**. The purchase of a non-current asset is capital expenditure.

Award 1 mark for each correct classification:
- Legal fees on warehouse: Capital Expenditure (1)
- Redecorating staff room: Revenue Expenditure (1)
- Carriage on machine: Capital Expenditure (1)
- Computer maintenance fee: Revenue Expenditure (1)
- Purchase of motor vehicle: Capital Expenditure (1)

Maximum marks: 5
Accept "Capital" or "Revenue" as abbreviated answers.

1. **Goods sold on credit**: Recorded in the **Sales Journal** (or Sales Day Book). This book is used to record all credit sales of inventory (goods for resale).
2. **Goods returned to a credit supplier**: Recorded in the **Purchases Returns Journal** (or Purchases Returns Day Book). This book is used to record returns of inventory to suppliers.
3. **Purchase of office furniture on credit**: Recorded in the **General Journal** (or Journal). Credit purchases of non-current assets cannot be recorded in the Purchases Journal (which is strictly for inventory), so they must be entered in the General Journal.
4. **Received a cheque from credit customer**: Recorded in the **Cash Book**. All receipts and payments by cheque or bank transfer are processed through the bank columns of the Cash Book.
5. **Cash purchase of stationery**: Recorded in the **Cash Book** (or **Petty Cash Book**). Direct cash expenditures for expenses are entered in either the cash column of the Cash Book or, if minor, the Petty Cash Book.

Award 1 mark for each correct book of original entry identified:
1. Sales Journal / Sales Day Book (1)
2. Purchases Returns Journal / Purchases Returns Day Book / Returns Outwards Book (1)
3. General Journal / Journal (1)
4. Cash Book (1)
5. Cash Book / Petty Cash Book (1)

Maximum marks: 5
Do not accept "Ledger" (e.g., Sales Ledger, Purchases Ledger) as these are ledgers, not books of original entry.

- Closing prepayment is a liability to be carried forward as credit balance b/d on 1 Jan 2023 (thus a debit balance c/d on 31 Dec 2022).
- Transfer to Income Statement: \(£8,200 - £600 - £400 = £7,200\).

**(c) Accruals (Matching) Concept:**
- **Definition:** The accruals concept states that revenue and expenses should be recorded in the period to which they relate, not when the cash is received or paid.
- **Application to Nadia's insurance:** Nadia paid \(£2,400\) on 1 July 2022 for a 12-month period. Under the accruals concept, only the portion of insurance relating to the current financial year (6 months, i.e., \(£1,200\)) plus the opening prepaid of \(£300\) (total \(£1,500\)) is matched as an expense in the 2022 Income Statement. The remaining \(£1,200\) relates to 2023 and is prepaid/carried forward as a current asset on the Statement of Financial Position.

### **(d) Reasons for Maintaining Separate Capital and Current Accounts**

1. **Capital Preservation:** Keeping the capital accounts fixed ensures that each partner's permanent financial contribution/stake is kept intact and not eroded by excessive personal drawings.
2. **Monitoring of Drawings & Performance:** Maintaining a separate current account makes it easier to track the annual earnings (salaries, interest on capital, share of profit) against the amount withdrawn (drawings, interest on drawings). This prevents partners from unintentionally drawing more than their accumulated profits.
