- C.Debit Cash £3,500, Credit Electricity Expense £3,500
- D.Debit Electricity Expense £3,500, Credit Prepayments (Assets) £3,500
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Accruals (Expenses Incurred but Not Yet Paid) Under the accruals concept (IAS 1), expenses must be recognised in the period they are *incurred*, not when they are *paid*. An accrual is a current liability - the business owes this amount but hasn't yet paid the invoice. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Identify the Issue: The electricity expense of £3,500 was incurred during the accounting year but remains unpaid at year-end. 2. Apply the Accruals Concept: The expense belongs to this ye

- A.£1,680 Debit closing balance
- B.£1,680 Credit closing balance
- C.£3,600 Debit closing balance

✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Receivables Ledger Control Account The Receivables Ledger Control Account is an asset account that tracks money owed to the business by credit customers. As an asset, it follows the fundamental debit rule: increases are recorded on the debit side and decreases on the credit side. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Opening Balance: The account opens with a debit balance of £1,200 - money already owed by customers. 2. Credit Sales (+): New credit sales of £2,400 increase the amount owed, s
Omega Foodstuffs plc disposed of a delivery vehicle for £34,560. The vehicle had originally cost £57,600 and had accumulated depreciation of £28,800 at the date of disposal. What is the gain or loss on disposal to be recorded in profit or loss?
- A.Gain on disposal of £5,760
- B.Loss on disposal of £5,760
- C.Gain on disposal of £-23,040
- D.Loss on disposal of £28,800
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Profit or Loss on Disposal of a Non-Current Asset When a non-current asset is sold, the gain or loss is measured as Disposal Proceeds minus the Carrying Value (Net Book Value). It is *not* compared to the original cost. Only the written-down value at the disposal date is relevant. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Find the Carrying Value (NBV) at disposal date: NBV = Original Cost Accumulated Depreciation = £57,600 £28,800 = £28,800 2. Compare to Disposal Proceeds: £34,560 (recei
At 31 March, the bank statement of Titan Steel plc shows a credit balance of £16,800. Unpresented checks total £4,200, and outstanding uncleared lodgements total £2,100. What is the reconciled balance that should appear in Titan Steel plc's cash book?
- A.£14,700
- B.£18,900
- C.£23,100
- D.£10,500
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Bank Reconciliation Statement A bank reconciliation explains the difference between the *cash book balance* (company's records) and the *bank statement balance* (bank's records). Timing differences - unpresented cheques and uncleared lodgements - cause these differences. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Start with Bank Statement Balance: £16,800 (credit balance, meaning the bank shows this as a positive balance for the company). 2. Add Uncleared Lodgements: Deposits sent by Titan Steel
A grocery distributor, Crest Hotels Ltd, recorded net sales of £112,000 for standard-rate products (20% VAT) and £56,000 for zero-rated food products. What is the total output VAT generated on these sales?
- A.£22,400
- B.£33,600
- C.£11,200
- D.£0 (all food products are exempt from output VAT)
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Zero-Rated vs. Standard-Rated VAT Supplies In UK VAT, there are multiple categories of supply: standard-rated (20%), zero-rated (0%), reduced-rated (5%), and exempt. Both standard-rated and zero-rated are *taxable* supplies, but zero-rated generates £0 output VAT. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Standard-Rate Sales (£112,000): Output VAT = £112,000 × 20% = £22,400 2. Zero-Rate Sales (£56,000): Output VAT = £56,000 × 0% = £0 3. Total Output VAT = £22,400 + £0 = £22,400 Common Mistakes

- A.£29,400

- C.£46,200
- D.£21,000

- A.Error of Omission
- B.Error of Commission
- C.Error of Principle
- D.Error of Reversal
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: The Six Types of Accounting Errors There are six classic types of bookkeeping errors. Some cause the trial balance to disagree; others do not. This question tests recognition of errors that *hide* behind a balanced trial balance - meaning both sides are still equal, but the accounting treatment is fundamentally wrong.
