me and the answer of your question really depends on the question asked in the data response section
My teacher told me that whenever you write an answer for Section B relate it with you economics..
it impresses the examiner and might reward you with extra knowledge points, but be relevant if you know the correct knowledge.
For e.g if a question comes about inflation and it results or causes relate it to your country past events and present. It will also help you better to attempt the question

all you have to do is 3000x20/120=500

ÜProvision of unrealized profit of on stock should be made if closing stock of manufactured goods is valued at transfer price.
stock (at transfer price )x mark-up% /100%+mark-up%
the answer is hundred ( a) .
Remeber CLOSING AND OPENING STOCK OF F.G IN TRADING ACCOUNT IS AT TRANSFER PRICE.
all you have to do it divide both the stocks by 100% + markup
for exp cost plus 20% so 120%

2400/1.25 = 2000 3000/1.25=3000
2400-2000=400 30000-2500=500
the difference is off HUNDRED that is you ans

in a manufacturing company loose tools will be depreciated using the revaluation method...why?
use the concept of materiality.
Loose tools are of no value where the business is very large.
dont need to depreciate them and if you want to depreciate use the straight line method.

guys, plz help me in this question :S
A company issues for cash 50000 shares of $5 each at a premium of $15 each and $300000 4% debentures.
By what amount will the net assets of the company increase?
A. $250000
B. $550000
C. $1000000
D. $1300000

listen boy,
read carefully the question it says 5 of each at a premium of 15

it means at $20 the share is being issued. Now when the company issues 50 k shares @ 20$ they'll receive cash of 1 m,
cash is current assets.
300 000 is current asset but they are countered by debentures ( liability)

no it is depreciated using revaluation method because they do not have great value ...so you won't use straight line
