you had to do this 480/2400, as new shares were issues for every $1 held before. So the nominal value was 0.2
and for non adjusting I gave investments too. Crossing fingers for it to be right

will in the long run become the same and equal to the average product of labour.

Hey guys, can you please help me?
So June 2009 Question 9 paper 1:

The correct balance on the purchases ledger control account is $63 000 but has been entered in
the trial balance as $36 000. The difference on the trial balance has been entered in a suspense
account.
Which journal entry corrects this error?
Find attached papers.

Well it says that the answer is D. But wrong entry in trial balance is not a double entry! I worked june 2003 paper 1 question 10 and it's practically the same question and in the examiners report it says that only suspense account needs recording. Then why is it not the case in this question?

Oh and one last thing: Is it possible that Cambridge make mistakes? I saw one mistake in november 2012 mark scheme. :X :/

Thanks in advance!

Hello Good miss, I think you're right, there are some mistakes found in the marking scheme, one which I encountered was the treatment of cummulative preference shares and non-cummulative preference share. It should be 'A' in my opinion, that's because the Purchase account would be debited and the suspense should be credited. I'd re-confirm it from my teacher.

I have a huge doubt.
What will happen to the cost of sales if your rate of stock turnover decreases?
