    good luck to everyone !!!

    unfortunately, i'm working tonight so i look forward to catching up on all your views tomorrow morning/afternoon/evening !

    don't forget... if in doubt, use the suspense account.

    at least something will add up :lol:

    Yes thanks! I don't totall understand the b/f c/f in section 1 but i've got my fingers crossed!

    I always like to know why we do things that way i can fall back on it.

    i.e if i forget how to dispose of an asset i scribble all my t accounts down and start from when it was bought!

    Any advice on b/f c/f?

    Can't say much yet but I sat this today found Section 2 quite reasonable but section 1 was quite tricky.

    i think it all adds up to a 'certificate for attendance' provided that you wrote down your student number correctly !

    As its after 8pm we can now discuss it.

    I could not get the trial balance to balance, so i dropped in a suspense account? did anyone else have problems? Section 1 caused me a fair few problems and the more i looked at it the more i changed things :001_unsure:

    Section 2 wasn't too bad I didnt think, the appropriation account was something I'd revised before hand thankgod.

    How did everyone else get on?

    I found it a reasonable paper - much better than the costing paper on Monday.

    I actually thought it wasn't too bad.
    I used the wrong figure for closing stock in section 2 which messed up my net profit so I went back and corrected it (and my appropriation account) and other than that there was nothing too surprising :001_smile:

    I didnt get the trial balance in part 1 to balance either so I put in the suspence account aswell. Other than that part 1 went ok.

    Part 2 on the other hand was a nightmare, did anyone get £100,000 for net profit in the Profit & loss account? I couldnt do the appropriation stuff at all I ended up just making answers up that im certain are wrong!

    Dont think i did enough to pass section 2.

    My figure for net profit was £103,000 (if my memory hasn't already gone!)

    Well at least we are all around the same amount-so even if mine is wrong I can't have gone that far wrong!

    My net profit was £120,400 so I must of missed something :( - then again you only lose a couple of marks as long as you show and understanding of how to interpret it I think?

    The Goodwill account question got me abit as I was used to the partners names on there not just a straight T-Account.

    You made the same mistake that I originally made - £20,400 was the depreciation charge that should go on the P&L account.


    Also got £41,000 for stock.

    I don't remember my depreciation charge being that amount - that may be why I got a different profit figure :001_smile:

    Closing stock was £41,000 - I had to go back and correct that cos miscalculated!!

    I cant remember the figures, but I calculated it by taking the computer stock total, minus the obscelete stock, then add on the value they sold it for at a later date.

    Closing stock was definately 41,000. The initial figure was £43,500 - £4,200 + £1,700 = £41,000.

    thanks, now i now my mistake, i didnt touched obscelete stock at all...:-(
  • Lizzim

    I wouldn't worry too much warrants - I got a different figure which must mean I calculated a different figure somewhere along the way - as long as you carried on correctly it shouldn't be a big issue.

    Yeah I think 41000 is correct. I don't why but got it the other way round. first added that 4 thousand something and then deducted 1700

    To be honest I didn't know the meaning of the word 'obsolete ' and that might have been a reason I got it wrong
