Don't count much upon the concepts. Prudence may be right. It does make a sense. I wrote Prudence and going concern :). But I think there would be many concepts which could prevent the recording of goodwill in a business' balance sheet.

And guys and gals two things more:

1. I balanced the balance sheet at 155710. However my friend says it would be 154910. He is correct, isn't it? I just forgot to record the accrued loan interest. Would I lose just 1 mark there?

2 I gave the example of goodwill, 'patent for a product'. Just googled this for my comfort and I think it IS correct but what do you guys think?

All else was pure piece of cake.

Guys what was the answer to the question of calculating owner's capital and capital employed.
I got 6500 and 10,000 respectively. And 154 wala was the correct balancing figure as Interest was payable by 800. 2400 was paid while 3200 was the total dues.
And what was the trial balance total, I got 10800 with capital missing figure at 5050.
The good thing is the accounts percentile is always low so InshAllah everyone will get a good grade.

Yes, I did make that mistake in the last question. It must have been the 154 thing 'cos some part of the interest was accrued. Anyways 1 mark lost there.

Well, well I think your concepts would be market correct 'cos according to me there would be MORE den two concepts stating against the recording of goodwill. I wrote Prudence and Going concern. Yes, your manufacturing cost is correct and there was the remainder loss of (3000) which was divided as 2000 and 1000 respectively between the two partners. As for percentile, no one knows that :)

I think you made a mistake there in question 1 :(
Capital was: 3000
Capital Employed was: 6500

And the trial balance balanced at 15400. I think you made a mistake in recording some of the items on the wrong side. Yes, you are right. Percentile would be low on some questions so don't worry.

finally,somebody said money measurement!
it cant be materiality,its not a viable answer because goodwill has a high measure of materiality.
prudence still makes sense and so does historical cost concept.

Guys the answer to the first question was 3000 for both owners capital and capital employd which can be calculated by bank plus stock minus loan. In case if u havnt noticd the question askd for the owners capital and capital employd at 1st april ( not the end of the year). Therefore both figure would be same. And for concept i wrote prudence and going concern, the later being wrong. Only concepts which wud b corect is money measurement and produce. No other. Because non of the other makes sense when applied to goodwill not being recorded.
