ok i have accounting p1 CIE doubts here (counting on u dasith again )
1.m/j 2005 qns 4,14,15,25 and 28
2.m/j 2006 qns 4,14,16 and 22
3.o/n 2006 qns 817,21,22 and 30
4.m/j 2007 qns.12,14,16 and 29
5.o/n 2007 qns 4,11,17 and 23
6.m/j 2008 qns 27
7.m/j 2003 qns 3,9,15,26 and 29
8.o/n 2003 5,18,23 and 28
9.m/j 2004 qns 6,12,17,27,28,29 ans 30
10.o/n 2004 qns 14
that all......i need explanation on it!
lol big list out there !!
k lets start with the first
1)m/j 2005:
4) Ans is b because , u see they say net debtors & balance sheet always shows the net debtors i.e after deducting both bad & doubtful debts. so it seems that 2003 balnce is with deducting PFDD (provision for doubtful debts) , so in order to obtain PFDD we can get it like this :
Debtors - 0.05 Of Debtors = Net Debtors
i.e
x- 0.05x=17100
0.95x=17100
x=18000
so now we knw that debtors before deducting PFDD was 18000 to get PFDD for 2003 we Deduct the Net debtors from Debtors, i .e 18000-17100
so we get 900 for 2003
& 2004 we take: 19000x5/100 =950 (this is because this is control a/c balance control a/c only includes bad debts not PFDD ! )
ok so u can see provision increased from 900 to 950
difference is 50 & thats your ans !
14) A because
wages of staff for takin goods into saleable condition shuld be in Trading account not P/L , but they hav debited in P/L not trading , so its overstating GP as its not deducted , but as u knw the same GP is taken to NP & deducted from it all other expences including the wages of staff taking goods into saleable condition. so it deducted from GP there , so no effect with NP !
15)HEre u gotta take the Cost / Net realisable value ( sales - other expences in bringing good to saleable condition) u take which ever is lower of the two !
so the lowest in item 1 is cost = 5260
'' '' '' item 2 is Net rali.= 2260
total = 7520
25)semi variable is part variable & part Fixed !
so if it was fully variable a decrese in activity would have no effect on unit cost as varable costs vary in same proportion to units produced.But here it has fixed costs so a reduction in activity Dosent reduce the costs because a part of it is fixed , not all the cost is Fixed so it will increse
Unit cost by not 20% but less than that because the cost is not fully a fixed cost.! (ans is D)
28)
here u find cost of both items frst i.e sales(in value - profit)
this cost as u knw includes both fixed & variable !
to get the variable costs we get the increase in costs for the given output levels
cost increased from 650 (i.e 750-100 ) to 750 (100-250 )
increase in cost is 100, so now we get increase in sales its 250
Cost has increased by 100 for an sales increase of 250 ! this in crease shows the variable costs as its the only cost which varys with output/ sales.
Increase in cost/ increase in output x 100 % = varable costs as % of sales
i.e 100/250 x 100 % = 40 %
so 40% is varable & the rest is of course contribution(FC + profit as % of sales )
60% is contribution!
