- B.Loss on disposal of £10,000

✓ 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).

Find the Carrying Value (NBV) at disposal date: NBV = Original Cost Accumulated Depreciation = £100,000 £50,000 = £50,000 2. Compare to Disposal Proceeds: £60,000 (rece

✓ Worked Explanation

- A.£9,600
- B.£14,400

✓ 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 (£48,000): Output VAT = £48,000 × 20% = £9,600 2. Zero-Rate Sales (£24,000): Output VAT = £24,000 × 0% = £0 3. Total Output VAT = £9,600 + £0 = £9,600 Common Mistakes to A

- A.Input VAT can be recovered in full (100%).
- B.Input VAT can be recovered at 60% representing the business use portion.
- C.No input VAT can be recovered because input VAT is generally blocked on passenger motor cars unless used exclusively for business (0% recovery).
- D.Input VAT can be recovered in full if the car is leased rather than purchased.
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Input VAT Block on Passenger Motor Cars Under HMRC VAT rules, input VAT on the purchase of a passenger motor car is subject to a 100% block - meaning it is entirely irrecoverable - unless the car is used *exclusively* for business purposes with no possibility of private use. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Identify the Asset: This is a passenger motor car (not a commercial vehicle like a van or lorry). 2. Apply the VAT Block Rule: If the car is available for any private use, input VAT

- B.Loss on disposal of £4,320
- C.Gain on disposal of £-17,280
- D.Loss on disposal of £21,600

- B.Debit Electricity Expense £3,500, Credit Accruals (Liabilities) £3,500
- 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.Both projects are Capital Expenditure.
- B.Warehouse system: Capital Expenditure (£24,000), Repainting: Revenue Expenditure (£2,400)
- C.Warehouse system: Revenue Expenditure (£24,000), Repainting: Capital Expenditure (£2,400)
- D.Both projects are Revenue Expenditure.
✓ Worked Explanation
Core Concept: Capital Expenditure vs. Revenue Expenditure Capital Expenditure (CapEx) creates or enhances a long-term non-current asset and is capitalised on the balance sheet, then depreciated over its useful life. Revenue Expenditure (RevEx) relates to day-to-day operations, maintenance, or restoration and is expensed immediately in profit or loss. Step-by-Step Resolution: 1. Warehouse Conveyor Belt System (£24,000): - This is a *new* asset installed to generate future economic benefits. I
