Still struggling with capital/current accounts - any advice on these areas?
Made a hash of some questions this morning - really need to calm down and read the questions properly!! :001_smile:0 -
the capital accounts stay unchanged unless it states some has been invested or you create goodwill.
Current account handles all the drawings, share of profit, salaries
etc0 -
im struggling with the postings for goodwill :-(0
-
set up a goodwill account and debit it with amount they give you
credit the amount to the capital acounts (% out the goodwill to the amount of profit %)
then when eliminating goodwill you credit the same amount to goodwill account
and debit the capital accounts with the new %
eg goodwill= 500,000
A 40%
B 60%
DR 500,000 goodwill account
CR A 200,000 capital account
CR B 300,000 capital account
new %
A=40%
B=40%
c=20%
DR 200,000 A cap account
DR 200,000 B cap account
DR 100,000 C cap account
CR 500,000 goodwill acount
this clears the goodwill account0 -
Work your formula
I did it recently - best advise is to show your workings. You dont need to get all the figures right, it helps thou. Its the basics making your tb balance eg using suspense if you cant.,Understanding what figures should go where even if they are not correct and setting up your reports correctly. Its not as hard as you think, but you have to be methodical and follow the processes. Good luck guys0 -
my confidence was knocked when did simulation as thought i did ok but had failed on some questions:
- stock valuation
- rent payable (is this the rent account or accruals)0 -
can anyone explain stock valuation eg if they change the seeling price how to recalculate stock?0
-
Stock is always valued at the lower of cost or selling price.
If stock is valued at 40,000 which includes something which cost 10,000 but is now being sold for 5,000 you take the 10,000 out and replace with the 5,000
40,000
-10,000
+ 5,000
Stock is now 35,0000 -
ok i see...what would the journal entry be for this0
-
Closing stock is only recorded on profit and loss and balance sheet. It does not appear in the original Trial Balance collumns.
The journal entry would be
Dr Closing Stock Balance sheet 35000
Cr Closing Stock Profit and Loss ac 350000 -
thank you thats a big help0
-
That's ok.. good luck for tomorrow!0
-
My heads gone all fuzzy today, its income and expenses to the profit and loss assets and liabilities to the balance sheet isnt it? In the adjustments column cr & cr or dr & dr is a plus and cr & dr and dr & cr is a minus.
Is that right, my brains had enough this week!!0 -
Profit and loss account is income minus expenses = Net Profit
Balance Sheet is assets minus liabilities = Capital
Financed by Opening Capital + profit - drawings = closing capital
not sure what you meant by the dr's and cr's though sorry!!0 -
I'll try and explain if i can Esme!! If I have a debit say, wages in the P&L and I need to make an adjustment in the ETB I would credit to decrease it and debit again to increase it. I think......0
-
Yeah, you've got it right, if it was an accrual (increase) you would debit it, if it was a perpayment (decrease) you should credit it.
If the sales column is being increased you would credit the adjustment column and debit for a reduction.0 -
Hurrah alls not lost, all assuming I have to do that in the exam!! I am hoping they aren't going to put appropriation in too heavily!!0
-
I'm sure we'll all be fine.. fingers crossed!! Good luck!0
