Fundamentals of Accountimg-

1)    Unrealised profit will be debited to –Profit_Loss Account--as per self assessment CD-

              However text book,  Chapter 1, Pg 1.34-Realisation Concept-Accountants

           follow a more  conservative approach. THEY TRY TO COVER ALL PROBABLE

           LOSSES BUT DO NOT COUNT ANY PROBABLE  GAIN.

           Therefore the answer  in CD may be incorrect.

2)    What entry would the supplier pass when the customer accepts goods ?

Dr Sale on approval basis, Credit  Sales A/c. --as per self assessment CD-

However text book,  Chapter 7 , pg 7.99-7.100-

When goods are sent on approval or on sale or approval basis

Dr Sundry Debtors A/c To Sales A/c

When goods are accepted at invoice price-No entry.

3)    In which of the following type, suspense A/c is opened ?

Ans-Errors before preparation of trial balance. --as per self assessment CD-

However text book,  Chapter 2, Rectification of errors, Pg 2.116, the trial balance is artificially made to agree inspite of errors by opening a suspense account and putting the difference in the trial balance to the account-i.e. AFTER TRIAL BALANCE BUT BEFORE FINAL ACCOUNTS.

4)    What entry would the customer pass when it purchases goods on approval basis ?-Answer-No entry.  How ?? --as per self assessment CD-

What entry would the customer pass when it accepts the goods purchased on approval basis ? Ans-  Dr Purchase A/c & Cr Supplier A/c--as per self assessment CD-

The entries to be passed in the supplier’s books are given in text book,  Chapter 7 , pg 7.99-7.100- however the entries in purchaser’s books are not given in text book. What is the difference between these 2 questions ? How are the CD answers correct ??

1. Well even that confuses me but i think we wont be recording unrealised profit in the books.

2. In there, the book tell you about the situation where the year has not passed and the goods sent on approval A/c is yet not made. The antry given in the book is right. Though at the end of the period we transfer the goods to the A/c mentioned above. Thus if anytime later thn tht, if the goods are accepted then the entry as given in the CD is to be followed. And at invoice price we make an entry similar to normal one with an additional entry of transfering the excess of invoice price over cost to the stock reserve a/c.

3. I think we create suspense A/c at the end of preparation of trial balance to quickly close the books and not delay the annual report. If by any chance we have time then there is nothing like a suspense A/c that is made, infact the errors are tried to be corrected. Though if the error is detected before trial balance then the corresponding A/c(s) are corrected by way of journal and ledger posting.

4.The differnce between the two is that the former one is just for the purchase of good yet to be accepted and the later one is purchase + acceptance. When goods are merely purchased not accepted yet by the customer then no entry is passed in the books of customer as he has not yet accepted them and thus paid for them. Later when he really accepts it then the corresponding entries are recorded.

 

By the way, don't learn wrong solutions as you might find many in the CD and the text book too...Just learn the basics and stick to those. In the exam there won't be such kinda error and the questions too would be to the point and not so confusing like the 2nd one mentioned by you above.

 

Good Luck for the Attempt, You gonna do just Fine.

And Ya Happy Diwali
