    ok, i make it 8pm now.
    Everything balanced for me...but....i know that i messed up the depreciation calculation, for some really dumb reason i did reducing balance and not straight line. i showed all my workings and carried it through to the TB, which like i said did balance, would this still be considered a fail on section 1?

    woo hoo - 8 o'clock!

    Well, my ETB had a net profit igure of £19,300 - I have spoken to some people who had £20k due to the disposal being put in the bank - but I seem to remember it said it was already in the bank, just not the ledgers........


    i still used the bank as we had to despose the asset

    There it is, have stuffed it up completely, got a loss on my ETB, but everything else balanced and answered everything. I agree about appropriation, its where I fell down on my first attempt. Am doomed I tell you, doomed :crying:

    Luckily, I am slightly OCD when it comes to disposals, so I have every T account neatly shown for my workings - I included a bank T account in my workings, so maybe the assessor will just think I was being a bit of a muppet for a brief moment in time.:lol:

    yeah that disposal was a bit confusing with the bank, i took it tht it had to be ajusted for in the bank and ledger,

    Dr Bank
    Cr Disposal

    Took me a while to realise it was a bank overdraft!

    In reference to questions 2.1 and its subsequent journal that we had to do - did anyone else think it was odd that we were being told that 'a credit has been entered into the SLC account instead of the purchase account'....Since when do we put a credit in the purchase account? I always thought that was what the Purchase returns book was for.............?

    I still did the journal with the puchase account though, as it mentioned that account in two different questions, so I thought best to roll with it!

    was that the markup ? How did you do that ?

    MT TB balanced but although that figure may be wrong, it doesn't effect the balance, so I shouldn't lose much on one calculation.

    I think I've failed on section 2 though.

    Oh and suspense account of1700 for TB, was wondering whether if second guys current account of 850 was supposed to be a debit balance so put some pencilled questions next to that on perforated sheet, can't hurt!!!

    yeah, that's the best thing to do if you can't get it to balance, as it shows you know how to handle it when it happens in the 'real world'. should gain you a mark, even though your figures were incorrect.

    yes I thought that, but I tried to make 3652 into 3500 and couldn't reconcile the 3 figures which were 188, 90 and 130

    Sales came to £19,800. The mark-up was 65% which meant the cost was 165%, therefore.....

    19,800 / 165 = 120 x 100 = 12000

    Voila!
