I'm going to attempt C.P.T. Dec. 2010(2nd attempt) soon. Its been very long that I've been only preparing accounts since I was very weak in it. Now when the exam is near, I ask myself that am I really prepared ?
So I ask the experts the same query !

How do I know if I'm prepared for the C.P.T. exam's Accounting paper ? I study on my own.

Following is my preparation:

I know the basics very well.. Assets, Liabilities, Capital, Expenses & Incomes increase decrease.
Concepts-Assumptions
Book keeping is nicely done.

I know how to issue, forfeit, re-issue shares & over subscription..
I'm a bit confused in partnership when it comes to Joint Life Policy..

Depreciation's last part remains..
Consignment, Joint Venture & Inventories have so many different type of sums & this part is confusing me.

Do help !!

WORKING CAPITAL DIVERSION IS USING SHORT TERM SOURCE FOR LONG TERM PURPOSE.THE FINAL RESULTS IS THAT THE UNIT BECOMES SICK AND THE BANK LOAN BECOMES NPA. OTHERWISE,THE CC LIMITS DIVERTED FOR LONG TERM PURPOSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUHT IN BY THE BORROWER.THIS TRANSACTION IS NOT BEING ACCOUNTED FOR AND NOT REFLECTING IN THE BALANCE SHEET AS THE AMOUNT OF CC LIMITS USED BY THE BORROWER FOR LONG TERM PURPOSE.AS A RESULT, THE USER OF THE BALANCE SHEET IS GIVEN WRONG IMPRESSION. WHY THE WORKING CAPITAL DIVERSION SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT TO THE BORROWER'S BALNCE SHEET? SO THAT FURTHER RISE IN BANKS NPA CAN BE PROTECTED.

As an investment advisor you have been approached by a client called Ramesh, who wants some help in investment related matters.
Ramesh is currently 45 years old and has Rs 6, 00,000 in the bank. He plans to work for 15 more years and retire at the age of 60. Ramesh’s present salary is Rs 4, 00,000 per year. He expects his salary to increase at the rate of 12% per year until his retirement.
Ramesh has decided to invest his bank balance and future savings in a portfolio in which stocks and bonds will be equally weighted. Assume that these proportions will be maintained by him throughout. He also believes that bonds will provide a return of 7% and stocks a return of 13%.
Once Ramesh retires at the age of 60 he would like to withdraw Rs 5,00,000 per year from his investments for the following 15 years as he expects to live up to the age of 75 years. He also wants to give Rs 10, 00,000 to his children at the end of his life. How much money would he need 15 years from now?
How much should Ramesh save each year for the next 15 years to be able to meet his investment objectives spelt out? Assume that the savings will occur at the end of each year.
Suppose Ramesh wants to donate Rs 2, 00,000 each year in the last 3 years of his life to a charitable cause. Each donation would be made at the beginning of the year. How much money would he need when he reaches the age of 60 to meet this specific need? Ignore the tax factor to answer these questions.
