Answer :

Answer :
Reason :

Under Hybrid system of accounting for revenue and expenses, accrual basis for expenses and cash
basis for revenue is used.
(a)
Revenue reserve represent accumulated retained earnings from the profits of normal business
operations. Bad debt realized, premium on issue of debentures, premium on issue of shares and
revaluation gains are capital reserve. Hence, answer (a) is correct answer.
(c)
Board of Directors, Partners, Managers and Officers are internal users. An investor is an external user
of financial statements.
(c)
An agreement to sell is not an accounting transaction.
(c)
Ex-post income = Revised expectation of expected future cash flows at the end of the period less
original expectation of expected future benefits at the beginning of the period.
(d)
Realizable value is the net amount collectible in the event of the assets disposal. (a) Historical cost is
the amount paid or payable to acquire a benefit. (b) the amount that needs to be paid if the asset is to be
acquired currently is the current value. (c) the present discounted value of the future inflows that an
item is expected to generate in the normal course of business is the present value (e) written down
value is a cost of asset less depreciation. Hence the correct answer is (d).
(d)
Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, inventories, debtors, cash at bank, and prepaid
expenses. Patents are fixed asset of the firm.
(a)
The duality concept states that every transaction two aspects one debit another credit. Hence, (a) is the
correct answer.
(d)
Only Credit purchases of goods are recorded in the Purchase Day Book.
(a)
The entry to be passed for settlement of purchase of Rs.10,000 from Abuja at a discount of 2% will
involve a debit to Abujas account with Rs.10,000 and credit to Discount received account Rs.200 and
Bank account Rs.9,800. (a) is the correct answer.
(d)
Cash book is a special journal in which all cash transactions are recorded directly. The cash book
resembles a ledger with the debit and credit sides, and the balance represents the cash on hand and at
bank at the end of the accounting period. Hence it serves the purpose of ledger. Cash account and bank
account are not opened when a cash book is maintained. Purchases book, sales book, bills receivables
book and journal proper are the books of original entry and they do not serve the purpose of ledger

Answer : (b)
Reason : Total assets = Total outside liabilities + Owners equity
Owners equity = Total assets Outside liabilities = Rs.21,315 - Rs.4,120 = Rs.17,195.
The amount of Reserves and Surplus of Rs.2,500 is included in the owners equity. (b) is the correct
answer.
Answer : (b)
Reason : The rule applicable to personal account is debit the receiver and credit the giver.
Answer : (a)
Reason : Nil. The difference in one transaction got compensated by another transaction. The error of principle
does not result in any difference and also the error of omission does not affect the agreement of trial
balance.
The under casting of returns inward book is rectified by debiting returns inward account with Rs.1,377
and the wrong debit to the suppliers account is to be rectified by crediting the account with
Rs.1,252+Rs.125=Rs.1,377. Thus, the wrong casting in one transaction is compensated by wrong
posting of wrong amount to the wrong side. It has no effect on the agreement of trial balance. The
complete omission of sales returns will not affect the trial balance totals. Thus, the difference in trial
balance is nil despite the errors.
Answer : (c)
Reason : Error of complete omission of recording of a transaction does not affect the trial balance. Hence, (c) is
the correct answer.
Answer : (d)
Reason : The trial balance is prepared to assess the arithmetical accuracy of the accounting records. Hence the
answer is (d). (a) The profit and loss account is prepared to know the profit or loss of the concern. (b)
The balance sheet is prepared to know the financial position as on a particular date. (c) The cashbook
indicates the cash receipts and payments. (e) The bank reconciliation statement is prepared to reconcile
the bank balance as per cash book and pass book.
Answer : (b)
Reason : Rent paid was wrongly credit to rent account. The rectifying entry involves a debit to Rent account and
a Credit to Suspense account with an amount of Rs.800.

Answer : (d)
Reason : Under the periodic system, the cost of goods sold is computed by subtracting the ending inventories
which are determined by the physical count from the sum of the opening inventory plus purchases.
Thus, it is computed as a residual amount. Hence, (d) is the correct answer. Weighted average method,
Last-in First-out and Specific identification are the methods inventory valuation and not the systems of
maintaining inventory records. And are not the correct answers. Under the perpetual inventory system,
a continuous record that tracks inventories and the cost of goods sold on a day-to-day basis is arrived. It
is not computed as a residual amount.

Answer : (a)
Reason : The basis for pricing inventory is either cost of production or cost of acquisition. FIFO method of
identifying inventory is based on the assumption that costs are charged against revenue in the order in
which they occur. In case of other methods i.e. LIFO method (b) matches the most recent costs
incurred with current revenue, leaving the first cost incurred to be included as inventory. WeightedAverage method (c) assumes that costs are charged against revenue based on an average of the number
of units acquired at each price level. Moving average method (d) can be used only with a perpetual
inventory. The cost per unit is recomputed after every addition to the inventory. The ending inventory
is valued at the last moving average unit cost for the period. Retail inventory method (e) this method
requires the maintenance of records of purchases both cost and selling price.

concept involves recognizing costs as expenses on the basis of direct association with assets. Thus amortization of
intangible assets is systematic allocation of costs over several periods in recognition of matching
concept (c). The other concepts do not recognize allocation of costs of fixed assets. Conservatism
concept is not meant to introduce a bias into financial reporting. It is a prudent reaction to uncertainty
to try to ensure that inherent risks in business are adequately considered. Going concern concept (b)
assumes that the business entity is assumed to be a going concern in the absence of evidence to the
contrary. Time Period concept (d) requires accounting information to be reported at regular intervals to
foster comparability. Business entity concept explains that in accounting business is to be considered as
a separate entity from the owner.
Answer : (a)
Reason : According to Section 350 of the companies Act any tax notified as a tax on excess or abnormal profits
can be deducted from the profits for the calculation of managerial remuneration.
Answer : (c)
Reason : Number of years purchase is the factor with which the super profits will have to be multiplied in order
to arrive at the value of goodwill.
Super profits: Average annual profits (Average capital employed x Normal rate of return)
Goodwill: Number of years purchase x super profits.
Answer : (d)
Reason : Goodwill is the value of reputation of the firm judged in respect of its capacity to bring in unaided
profits. It is in respect of profits expected in future. Temporary craze or fashion (d) is a temporary
phenomenon, and if in the past good profits have been earned due to it, there will be no value attached
to goodwill. Thus, it does not have any lasting impact on evaluation of goodwill. The factors stated in
other alternatives, normal rate of return (a) is the return which will satisfy ordinary investor, capital
employed, (b) is the most important factor, since the size of profits is significant only in relation to
capital employed, it is difficult to enter an industry. Existing entities will enjoy a measure of goodwill
by the mere fact of existence. Thus, nature of business (c) has a bearing on evaluation of goodwill.
Personal skill and reputation of the owner (e) is much more important in evaluation of goodwill. Thus,
the factors in alternatives (a), (b), (c) and (e) have a bearing on future profits.
