    I've just had a look at the ECR paper, and I still don't get question 2.3 regarding the limiting factor. I know I did it wrong in the exam. Doesn't make sense to me. Think I had given up by that question. :lol:

    I'd be interested to know what people put for 1.3 b as well.
    I got confused as to why we had 6 lines for journal entires but only four nominal codes!

    Think i got that bit wrong!

    hi the journal had 6 lines cos for each debit had to do the wages control account credit entry

    I thought about it from the beginning.
    Wages would come out of the bank so:

    DR Wages Control
    CR Bank

    Then you have all of it in the wages control account, so it needs to come back out and go to the repective expense codes.

    phew, so we all agree:

    CODE DR CR
    6200 7000
    8200 7000
    6400 4000
    8200 4000
    6600 2000
    8200 2000

    When do they put the answers up anyway please? On looking back on here 6 months ago the ECR results only took a short while.

    That took out all my spaces for some reason. But the first line is a debit, the second a credit, the third a debit, the fourth a credit etc!!!

    Ah - i see now!

    The reason i had two lines left was because i put the credit into the control account in one amount. I did:

    6200 Dr 7000
    6400 Dr 4000
    6600 Dr 2000
    8200 Cr 13000

    Do you think that will be completely wrong as i haven't seperated the wages control?
    Hopefully i'll still pick up a few marks for the other 3 entries!

    I wish it was June - i want to be put out of my misery!

    I personally cant see why you'd get deducted marks, you got the answer 100% correct.

    What does everyone think was the answers for FRA 1.5 (a) - I confused myself withthis one wondering if I should have worked the selling price out with VAT before taking off the 65% Mark Up (in the end I didn't).

    Also what did the examiner want with 1.5 (b) - was it a written explanation of what the value if closing stock actually is - or did they just want the AMOUNT calculated in (a) - which seemed a bit repetative?

    I have 12 000 for this answer... but not sure

    in 15 (b) I have just only stated the number again..

    I think 12,000 was correct for both answers.

    I think they wanted to see that you understood how stock is valued at the lower of cost and realisable value.

    I sent out my ECR answer to proof readers last Friday, am still waiting to hear from them. As soon as the proof reading is complete, I will make any necessary ammendments and make them generally available.
