In Question 1 the sales figures I calculated were incorrect for both the firms, the rest of the calculations involved using the sales figure, so will I get own figure marks for the rest of the questions?

the right way of calculating the value of non current assets in Q:no-1 was we need to find the capital employed through the ROCE ratio. loan is already added in that and we need to add the trade payables to the figure and then deduct the trade recievables.
Assets= Capital + Liabilities.
I wasn't able to think of this during the exam due to time factor. :( :'(

This goodwill problem does raise confusions. As it is clearly stated in the IAS that ONLY purchased goodwill can be shown in the books the rest is to be written off. That's what we've been taught aswell. But like you guys are saying there might have been some question in the past paper where the examiner didn't write it off when there was no mention of it. These morons don't even have consistency. We'll just have to say what mood the examiner is in this time around. Hopefully it'll be alright.
And secondly A Level Accounting is quite tougher than AS Level. A Level accounting questions are more challenging, problem solving type..You oughta score maximum marks in the AS papers my friends, cause A level will need real hard work :)

Yes exactly, that's what we've been taught all along too, but as some of these guys are saying there has been a paper in the past where the examiner didn't write off the goodwill when it didn't ask for it, so we can't really say what the examiner might come up with as the correct answer this time. :/

According to the IAS the goodwill should be written off if it is not a purchased goodwill.

I know about it, IAS and GAAP both say this. I know it's treatment but in the past, there was a question which I solved in which we didn't have to write off the good will because it wasn't written in the question.
