lol

in prov for depn a/c

sept 30, depreciate the 2 vehicles at 25 % = credit 9000
apr 1, remove the depreciation of the vehicle being sold = debit 4000 (transfer to disposal) n balance is 5000 cr
sep30, depreeciate the remaining vehicle at 25% of its cost = 25% * 20000=5000, cr 5000, hence bal 10000 cr

remember he bought 2 cars, sold 1, still has 1 left that needs to be depreciated.

this one is on general....i expalined it yesterday under the thread called accounting..

gross profit margin= gross profit mark up( by subtracting  one from the dominator)

so if gross profit=20%=20/100= 1/5

so the gross profit mark up = 1/4(becuz i subtracted one from the dominator)

now gross profit mark up= Gross Profit/ cost of sales

cost of sales= 9500+22000 -17500=14000

mark up= GP/14000
1/4= GP/14000
GP=3500

NOW GET THE SALES EASILY BY= 3500+14000= 17500

HOPE U UNDERSTOOD ANYTHING!!LOL!!

and here is the rest of the explanation go under the thread accounting on the next page by shan and ull see the questions he asked!!

gross profit mark up= gross profit margin( by adding 1 to the dominator)

mark up= 20%= 20/100= 1/5

so gross profit margin will be 1/6 (remember that i added one)

now gross profit margin= gross profit/sales
1/6                         = GP/60000
GP = 10000

u can then get the closing stock....

remember the prudence concept- not overstate assets, n understate liabilities - stock valued at lower of cost or net relisable value (selling price) - n in error 2, the stock has been valued at selling price which is higher than cost hence is an error

and it is a closing stock and closing stock is directly proportional to net profit which means when it increase net profit increase over here it decreased so net profit is decreased

ok in the clubs and societies accounts subscription accounts any subscription recieved is credited in the subscription account that's why i want the journal entry behind that for example the journal entry for rent paid is rent 300 debit
                                                                                                                          cash 300 credit

and is entered in the rent account as a debit cash 300

thanks man one last thing i don't understand how they corrected this error in 2008 nov paper page 8 the question is

4 On 15 September 2008, $50 had been received from W Lee. This amount was
incorrectly debited to the bad debts account and credited to W Lee’s account.
W Lee’s account had been written off as a bad debt on 30 June 2008.

and the correction is cash 50 (debit)          bad debt recovered 50 (credit)
                             W lee 50 (debit)        bad debts 50 (credit)
