can anyone explain control accounts...if there is an error and we have to correct the balances on the ledgers and contol accounts.....if they say debtors account is overstated or understated!!!when they say debtor's account do they mean sales leger account or sales ledger control account?.....and what do they mean by list of debtors!
here is an example...http://www.xtremepapers.me/CIE/International%20A%20And%20AS%20Level/9706%20-%20Accounts/9706_s10_qp_23.pdf
can someone explain the difference between depreciation and provision for depreciation........and a revision on the costing chapters!

hmm contirbution is 138(new one)
138/437=0.3157

so

0.315789S - FC = Profit
In this cas 5% of sales are reduced right ?

so we knw FC & profit rite?
s= sales( we dont knw)

0.315789s -90 = 80

Control a/c is not an account actually its completely out of double entry , its used to check other accounts i.e if they are accurate or not. When they said debtors a/c its the individual debtors a/c, its in ledger, sales ledger.list of balances are the totals of all individual a/c in ledger, thats the value taken to control a/c

Depreciation & provision for depreciation are same!!
 i think, mabe Provision is not a real figure , & depreciation may be the actall loss in value of asset ? not sure thaugh

i think...when ever qns give profit and ask to find sales value...then i think formula is (fixed cost+profit)*100/ c/s ratio
so revised c/s ratio is 31.58%
then use the formula
(90000+80000)*100/31.58=sales
therefore sales =538333
hope this helps! ;D
