What are you talking about man? "äccount the amount transferred to the income and expenditure was 2500 but on the income and expenditure account itself the adjustment for subscriptions i did it 2300" This makes no sense, how can income and exp have 2500 but on the account itself 2300? I think you mean in the subscriptions, the total was 2500, yes, But I checked my answer with the teacher, it was 2200. not 2300. Netbook value, I dont remember, but dont think it was 16430, remember, the 2nd machine was bought on July 1st, I think, so you cant charge dep for whole year, it was 8months (also confirmed with teacher). I did the same thing for the sales percentage as you did.

I wanna discuss the paper but its not allowed until 24 hours, but i found the paper not very easy and not very hard, i am an A student in accounts and relating to my standard i found the theory part a bit hard but the rest was ok. :)

I think the curve for this year would be low hopefully because the majority said the paper was tough, just calm down people!! :) :) :)

I would seriously think that a person would have a malfunction in their heads if they were still stressing over accounts when you have a cluster *censored* of a paper 2morrow: Economics.

The question was for two marks, inorder to get 2, you needed these two points ( Saw them in previous passpaper question) Its measured with a fixed percentage (1) and the amount charged changes every year (1)

@CrEaTuRe_X
u r talking about the reducing balance.The revaluation method is the decrease in value of the asset when revalued at the end of the year.

o and u noe da question in which dey r like how does the % epenses to sales effect the effiency of da business..
i rote dat as cuz it decreases the gross profit and net profit % also decreases which decreases da efficinecy of da business...iz dat rite?!
and also...da question where debtos payin us...how does it effect da workin capital?! i wrote it stays da same cuz ur debtors r decreasin and at da same time ur cas is increasin...
and my lsat question...the debots and creditos period thingy..how does tht effect the liquidity?! i sed tht although they r getin cash from debtos after a long time...they r still able to pay their creditos meanin the liquidity is high??
ooo...LAST one...was it a deficiet of 490?!

Damn .. it was very very hard paper .. most of things i didnt knew how to solve them .. and moreover i was very sleepy during the examination ..

I hate it

They should have told us about the new pattern of the exams >> in the old pattern at least we could gain some marks but in this one it is totally BULL**** ..

Duhhhh ..

anyhow .. lets try best for the next Exam .. Insha'allah we will pass

By the way the multiple choice for accounting would only count if u gain less than C grade.

well i think 24hrs past now... (at least for me)...

about the paper- just some tricky questions=>

- revaluation = its like u call the garage/shop n ask them to value ur asset, (as if ur sellin it)
- control a/c bad debt recovered 300$ cash => in control a/c 1st dr bad debt recov 300 AND 2nd cr cash 300 OR ignore it completely (since they cancel out)
- control a/c - dont include provision for doubtful debts
- depreciation, one vehicle u charge for 8 months onli (1st JUL - 28 Feb)
- pnl, u dont hav gross profit since its service business-> so just rev (clients go in the revenue section), exp, np
              n remember it said do "PnL a/c"..  not "trading, Profit and Loss a/c"

- subscription to InE = transfer $2500
- InE deficit

Bad debt recovered is not entered in control account. I asked the teacher about it.

our teacher said u can do both dr300 bad debt recov AND cr 300 cash... or just ignore it (since they cancel out but dont write just one of them)... Our teacher said that...


in control a/c question it said - $300 cash recieved from debtor who was previously written off in sept 2007-

-hence 1st u reinstate the bad debt-> increasing the debtors amount -> hence in control a/c bad debt recovered dr 300
- 2nd if he pays 300 in cash, then his account is paid off rite? -> hence in control a/c cash cr 300

or you can ignore it
