hey guys there is a question in p2 that talks about the effect on roce on certain transactions.one of them says that goods $1230 were purchased for cash and there is no effect on roce as net profit is not changed,how is that possible if the cost of sales will increase due to this purchase ?

well they say the transaction took place in 31 January 2013(end of the financial year)
and i agree that purchases increased by $1230 so cost of sales has to rise, thus lowering profits.

But as goods were purchased at the end of the year
the closing inventory also rose by $1230
thus these changes cancel out each other and profits do not change.

no change in total current assets is because inventory rose by the same amount as the decrease in cash
thus no change.

Hope you understood.
Cheers

Well I thinks that p21 will be a little challenging with many incomes statements and balance sheet,but what do you mean by serious areas though ?
just saying that the areas tested in 11 were pretty easy

things like company accounts appropriation, balance sheet and income statement
clubs
accruals and prepayment
control accounts
statement of affairs
and so on were not tested
