    I found myself re-reading it all to see if they were trying to catch us out anywhere. Overall actually enjoyed it compared to ECR!

    It was practically identical to the June 2007 paper, even down to some of the numbers such as 135 - you had to multiply it by 2/3 to determine the prepayment just like in the jun07 paper. Well certainly the first question was.

    For Q1, I got 81,610 for the trial balance totals

    Q2; 8,738 for the adjustment column totals
    27,513 for the net profit and 10,213 for the total net assets

    Did everyone else get the same, or did I go horribly wrong somewhere?

    Was a bit worried that those answers weren't round numbers; they usually are in exams.

    I wasn't sure where to put the profit on disposal and the provision for doubtful debts adjustment in the P&L statement - so I just tacked them on at the bottom underneath the expenses and prayed.

    Given that I sat the exam in a mosque, it was an appropriate place for a prayer. I just hope that Allah looks favorably on my answers ...

    your Doubtful debt Adjustment of £38 went into the profit and loss it usually goes under the income section, it was a (cr) in the profit and loss. Didnt go under the revenue expenses they are all DR

    Aww i'm sure Allah swt was looking out for u.

    Yes I seem to remember the figure of 38 for that adjustment

    Did you get the same bottom line?
  • kellyriddell
    kellyriddell Registered Posts: 84 Regular contributor ⭐
    My figures were very similar if not the same, did anyone put the accrual in of 250 curtosy of altering the general expenses? My theory is everything balanced, and in section 2 the adj p and l along with the balance sheet all balanced and corresponded with everything else so I can't have done too badly lol

    Got exactly same figures for Q2!
    Don't remember Q1...

    I am glad it is over:).

    Yes I put the accrual in for 250 in the adjustment columns.

    It was a bit unclear I thought about whether to reduce the bank balance by 2,400 in the adjustment columns ... but I suppose you must otherwise the balnce sheet wouldn't have balanced.

    When the bank balance is an overdraft do you put it under current liabilities in the BS?

    The accrual was for question 1 that I am refering too, I put the bank balance in assetts for some reason even though it was an overdraft, thinking about it don't think I shouldve done but hey lol - my proforma that I made fir myself from previous balance shhets were always in assets as never had an overdraft so was automatic for me to put it in assets!

    the accrual was in section 1 wasnt it? i cant remember what i got for my profit and loss but it all balanced i know the bank was overdrawn there was a 700 adjustment for personal use purchases cr 700 drawings dr 700 which was a tricky one

    when your bank is overdrawn its a current liability in the balance sheet. x

    i didnt do the Unit 6 exam as just knew i wasnt at all ready. I studied really hard for the FRA exam today and it wasnt too bad at all. I managed to finish it in 45 minutes and felt it was quite easy.. except the last few bits on Stock Valuation. I think that was the only part i messed up on but hoping its enough to get me a pass!

    Hi! All these numbers ring a bell. I found it quite easy...I hope I did look at all questions. First section ended with the trial balance and the second with the P&L and Balance Sheet. No appropriation accounts or partnerships. Everything balanced. So I hope I did well.
  • missy

    i think with that question u didnt need to value the stock that was four days old becoz u wouldnt be selling it, was all to do with SSAP9 lower of cost or NRV. x
