Total current assets..................N2,000
Total fixed assets....................N4,000
Current liabilities...................N1,200
Drawings..............................N200
Long-term loan........................N2,000

Determine the capital of the business?

A.

N9,400

B.

N6,000

C.

N3,400

D.

N3,000

Correct answer is D

Capital = Assets - liabilities

Assets = Fixed assets + current assets + drawings

2000 + 4000 + 200 = 6200

Liabilities = current liabilities + longterm loans

1200 + 2000 = 3200

6200 - 3200 = 3000

Given:

Balance as per cash book...................N20,000
Unpresented cheques........................N5,200
Direct credit to the bank..................N1,000
Direct debit from the bank.................N1,000
Credit in the cash book....................N500

Calculate the balance as per bank statement at the end of the year?

A.

N24,700

B.

N25,200

C.

N26,200

D.

N27,700

Correct answer is A

Balance per bank is the ending cash balance appearing on a bank statement.

Hence we have; cashbook balance + unpresented cheques + direct bank debit - (direct credit + cashbook credit)

20,000+5200+1000 - (1000+500) = 24,700
