Did think of asking to borrow a different one, but somehow the sentence
" Please can I have a different calculator, this one seems to be giving me the wrong answers" seemed like a bad joke!!!!
I know, I know - rubbish in, rubbish out!

So how long did it take everyone to realise that in section 2 the Closing Stock figure only needed to be entered ONCE in the ETB and it was in the balance sheet??? It was already accounted for in the 'Cost of Goods Sold' bit for the P&L?? I had my P&L at 70,000 and my BS at 100,000 so i knew it was the closing stock figure that i needed to do something with! I got a net profit of £70,0000

What did everyone get for their profit in section 20
-
Mixed feelings about it really,
Erm, i got about £1252 loss on disposal (something like that?) :001_tt2:
About 79k purchases,
84k total purchases,
£2200 prepayment
Balance sheet balanced to around 73k
Net profit of 70k (after finally realising the 30k i put in the P+L was incorrect due there already being a COS figure
Cant rmemeber much more 0 -
Depreciation
How many years did everyone do their depreciation over?
Thought section 2 was better than section 10 -

Also, with the £900 drawings, were you guys making a drawings account or debiting the current account?
I debited the current account because i noticed that when drawing up the current accounts it said only account for the profit share (never mentioned anything else) and when it said bring down the balances i bought down the figure in the B/S section of the ETB.
What was everyone elses method, i have a feeling i am wrong0 -

I did exactly what you did to start with Rachey! I had been a bit baffled why closing stock was only in the ETB once to begin with but thought I'd just run with it. Then realised when the balance sheet columns wouldn't balance that it was 'cost of goods sold' not purchases so no need for stock adjustments. Sneaky AAT, sneaky...!!!!0 -
That sounds like the answers I got, 70k profit, 73k net assets, and the same with the section 1 answers Xplosive got.
I am feeling much better than I was this morning and am feeling optimistic that I won't have to resit either of them so all my hours of revision have paid off.0 -
I didn't mention confidentiality. Only Fixed Asset Register - ask what cars had been added since list drawn up, advise partners on importance of keeping FAS up to date.twinmeister wrote: »some of that rings a bell. 70K profit and around 73K Net assets.

i thought it was a list of assets made on day and compared to fix asset register...you have to check vehicle not in repair or been disposed of but not taked out of register?? i think0 -

What was everyone elses method, i have a feeling i am wrong
I put it to a drawings account on the ETB then transferred to the current account on the next task. Put a note on my workings that I was doing that. I remembered that drawings go to drawings first then transfer at year end so thought I'd just do it that way. I thought the same with the current account task but figured they won't penalise you totally for putting them in separate or together as long as it's all there in the end! Think either way would be ok and reckon people will have done a mix of both.
Not sure what you mean about the balances of B/S section of the ETB....?0 -
hi...m really worried abt the section 2 of the fra exam today....section 1 was good and even TB didnt tally m sure my technique was rite.....as for the section 2 i need to whether ill pass or not....I did the adjustment part good and all of them were correct....faced a lot of probs in task 2.2 and made some messy entries and got the profit abt 106K....next part of current account...i took the current account balances on debit side and distributed the profit for the year on credit side and got bal b/ds on debit side(i.e credit balance)....first part of balance sheet was good bt messed in equity part...rest was all correct...will i pass????:$0
-
mine is 30,000 out, spend over 1 hour on etb, still could not work out why, please someone explain to me why? thanks0
-
that re-assuring
It took me ages to do the last adjustment, i think it was
DR suspense
CR bank
DR suspense
CR insurance
But originally i just put dr suspense and cr insurance, which is jumping ahead a bit and will give an error despite being partially correct. Now that along with the sneaky etb bits is why it took me 2 hours hehe0 -

Most of those figures look familiar. Blimey yeah I know that £500, it took me ages to find, but it was a CR £500 to Bank in the final (e???) journal. (Itme which had been Dr twice.
No idea how you remember all of these figures???0 -

Its because there was a cost of goods sold figure in the p+l, so that accounts for closing stock already. This is why closing stock is only required in the b/s
Took me flippin ages to find that out lol0 -
i totally agree i found problems around every corner i think it will be a resit for me0
