Take a moment to focus on the right approach for this exam.

Effective exam technique

The following steps are recommended for answering multiple choice and objective test questions.

Step 1

Note down how long you should allocate to each question. For this paper you will be
answering 50 questions in 120 minutes, so you will be spending on average 2.5 minutes on
each 2 mark question and 1 minute on each 1 mark question. Remember however that you will
not be expected to spend an equal amount of time on each of them and that some can be
answered instantly but others will take time to work out.

Step 2

Attempt each question. Read the question thoroughly.

Step 3

To answer a multiple choice question read the four options and see if one matches your own
answer. Be careful with numerical questions, as the distracters are designed to match answers
that incorporate common errors.

Step 4

If you are unsure of your answer.

Re-read the question to ensure that you understand it and are answering the
requirement

Eliminate any obviously wrong answers

Consider which of the remaining answers is the most likely to be correct and select
the option

Step 5

If you are still unsure, continue to the next question. Likewise if you are nowhere near
working out which option is correct after a couple of minutes, leave the question and come
back to it later.

Step 6

Revisit questions you are uncertain about. When you come back to a question after a break
you often find you are able to answer it correctly straight away. If you are still unsure have a
guess. You are not penalised for incorrect answers, so never leave a question unanswered!

ALL FIFTY questions are compulsory and MUST be

attempted
Please write your answer on lined paper with one answer per line

Terminology
This paper tests your understanding of a large number of key terms and definitions. Learning as many
of these as you can will help save you time in the exam which you can use to answer questions that
require more thought. Your Study Text provides you with assistance by highlighting these terms and
definitions.

Question spotting
Avoid the temptation to question spot or to assume certain areas of the syllabus will be examined in a
particular way. Ensure you are able to answer questions across the syllabus in a number of question
styles as this will maximise the number of questions that you will be able to attempt successfully.

What went wrong?

OK, you're not going to get 100% correct, but pay attention when you consistently get certain areas of
the syllabus wrong. This is your cue to revise these areas fully, learn from your mistakes, AND NEVER
REPEAT THEM!

Prepayment

The balance represents the outstanding amount ie sales less cash received.

Prepayments are a debit balance in the balance sheet.

Closing inventory is an adjustment to the initial trial balance.

It has effectively been debited twice.

Net book value is $55,000 ($100,000 $45,000). So the proceeds are the same as NBV and so
there is no gain or loss.

The receivables ledger control account is posted from the daybook total but the receivables

Sales are $100,000 and gross profit $15,000. So cost of sales are $85,000. Opening inventory
plus purchases total $90,000. So closing inventory must be $5,000 ($90,000 $5,000 =
$85,000).

An allowance for receivables is disclosed as a deduction from trade receivables.

Options A and B are ruled out because they relate to rental income, which would be a credit
(not a debit) in a rent account. Option D is ruled out because there is no entry made in the
bank account and therefore no payment can yet have been made.

is clearly nonsense. You capitalise costs during the development and therefore the
development is incomplete
is not so clear. It covers the situation where you can capitalise some of the costs, up to
the amount of future revenue but not all. The rest will be written off.
the project will not be completed. No income is therefore likely. On grounds of
prudence the costs will be written off.

The cost of the machine is $28,000. Cataract has paid $23,000 in cash and has evidently
agreed a trade-in value of $5,000 for the old machine. (The asset's NBV is irrelevant.) After one
year, the net book value of the new machine is 90% of $28,000 = $25,200.

The depreciable amount is $(22,000 1,000) = $21,000. This is to be written off over seven
years (or 84 months). The monthly depreciation charge is therefore $250.

If prices are rising, the closing inventory will be lower if AVCO is used. This will produce a
higher cost of sales figure and so a lower gross profit.

33

The total of sales invoices in the day book is debited to the control account. If the total is
understated by $800, the debits in the control account will also be understated by $800.
Options B and D would have the opposite effect: credit entries in the control account would be
understated. Option A would lead to a discrepancy of 2 $800 = $1,600.
