This statement helps stakeholders, such as investors and creditors, to assess the financial health and stability of the business.

The balance sheet is an essential tool for financial analysis and decision-making.

    A.   c for recording small disbursement
    Explanation
    Petty cash book is used for recording small disbursements. It is a separate book where all small expenses that do not require a formal invoice or receipt are recorded. This helps in keeping track of these small expenses separately from the main cash book, making it easier to monitor and control petty cash expenditures. The petty cash book also helps in reconciling the petty cash fund, ensuring that the amount of cash in hand matches the recorded expenses.

    Rate this question:

    • A) credit

    • B) debit

    • Detail

    • D) Total

    Correct Answer
    A. B) debit
    Explanation
    Assets and expenses are posted on the debit side of a trial balance. This is because the debit side represents the increase in assets and expenses. Assets are resources owned by a company, such as cash, inventory, and equipment. Expenses are the costs incurred by a company in its operations, such as salaries, rent, and utilities. By posting these items on the debit side, the trial balance ensures that the total debits equal the total credits, which is a key principle of double-entry accounting.

    • D) ledger

    Correct Answer
    A. C) trading account
    Explanation
    The profit or loss account is prepared after the trading account. The trading account is used to calculate the gross profit or loss by comparing the revenue from sales with the cost of goods sold. Once the gross profit or loss is determined, it is transferred to the profit or loss account, which further includes other expenses and revenues to calculate the net profit or loss for a specific period. Therefore, the trading account is an essential step in preparing the profit or loss account.

    Explanation
    The accounting equation for assets is Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

    Explanation
    Trade discounts are given for bulk purchases because when a customer buys a large quantity of goods or services, the seller often offers a discount as an incentive. This is because buying in bulk allows the seller to save on production and distribution costs, and they can pass on some of these savings to the customer in the form of a trade discount. This encourages customers to purchase more, helps the seller to increase sales volume, and can also help to build customer loyalty.

It is a common practice in many industries, such as subscription-based services or advance payment for goods. Prepayments are recorded as assets on the balance sheet until the services are delivered or the goods are received. Once the services are rendered, the prepayment is then recognized as an expense or deducted from the accounts payable.

It provides a detailed record of the goods sold, the customer to whom they were sold, the amount of the sale, and any other relevant information. By recording credit sales in the sales dailybook, the company can keep track of its accounts receivable and ensure that all sales are properly recorded and accounted for.

The date column is used to record the date of the transaction, the detail column is used to provide a description of the transaction, and the total column is used to calculate the total amount of the transaction.

    • ) Entity

    • B) Consistency

    • C) Historical cost

    • D) Going concern

    Correct Answer
    A. B) Consistency
    Explanation
    Consistency is not an accounting concept because it refers to a principle of reporting and presentation, rather than a fundamental concept. Consistency requires that accounting methods and practices remain the same over time, ensuring comparability and reliability of financial information. While consistency is important for accurate financial reporting, it is not considered a core accounting concept like entity, historical cost, and going concern, which are fundamental principles that guide the preparation and presentation of financial statements.

These books are prepared using information extracted from source documents, which are the original records of transactions such as invoices, receipts, and vouchers. The cash book, ledger, and journals are all important components of the accounting process, but they do not directly provide the information needed for subsidiary books preparation. Therefore, the correct answer is c) source documents.

    • B) credit side

    • B) folio column

    Explanation
    The payment for the electricity bill of ₦2,200 would be recorded on the credit side. In accounting, the credit side represents decreases in assets or increases in liabilities or equity. Since the payment is an expense, it would decrease the amount of cash or bank balance, which is an asset. Therefore, it would be recorded on the credit side.

    1. The transaction will be treated as a contra entry when ………

    • A) Cash withdrew from bank for personal use

    • B) Cheque received from customer and deposited

    • C)Cash drew from bank for office use

    • D) Cash paid to creditors

    Correct Answer
    A. C)Cash drew from bank for office use
    Explanation
    A contra entry refers to a transaction where both the debit and credit aspects of the entry are made in the same ledger account. In this case, cash is being withdrawn from the bank for office use. This means that the cash account will be debited (increased) as the cash is being received, and the bank account will be credited (decreased) as the cash is being withdrawn. Therefore, this transaction fits the criteria of a contra entry.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    Items on the debit side of the cash book that are not found on the credit side of the bank statement are ……….

    • A) standing order

    • B) uncreditedcheques

    • C) credit transfer

    • D) unpresentedcheques

    Correct Answer
    A. B) uncreditedcheques
    Explanation
    The cash book records all transactions related to cash, including both cash inflows and outflows. The debit side of the cash book represents cash outflows, while the credit side represents cash inflows. The bank statement, on the other hand, only shows the transactions that have been processed by the bank. Therefore, if there are items on the debit side of the cash book that are not found on the credit side of the bank statement, it means that these transactions have been recorded in the cash book but have not yet been processed by the bank. Uncredited cheques refer to those cheques that have been issued but not yet cleared by the bank, which explains why they are not found on the credit side of the bank statement.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "goods bought for re sales." This means that purchases refer to goods that are bought with the intention of reselling them to customers. This can include inventory items that are bought by retailers or wholesalers for the purpose of selling them to end consumers.

    Correct Answer
    A. C) current liability
    Explanation
    Prepayment in the balance sheet refers to the advance payment made by a company for goods or services that will be received in the future. Since it represents an obligation to pay for these goods or services within the next accounting period, it is classified as a current liability. This is because the payment will be settled within a year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer. Therefore, option c) current liability is the correct answer.

These expenses are directly related to the sale of goods and are therefore considered part of the trading activities of the business. Discount allowed and discount received are not trading account items as they are related to financial transactions and not directly related to the sale of goods. Carriage inwards is also not a trading account item as it represents the cost of transporting goods purchased by the business, which is considered part of the cost of goods sold.
