Calculate the cash balance after the discount.

A.

N2,760

B.

N4,300

C.

N6,200

D.

N2,400

Correct answer is A

cash balance = debit side of the cash column - credit side of cash column. Hence we have;

Discount allowed = 0.02 x 2000 = 40

Debit column = 3000 + 1000 + 2000 + 200 = 6200 
6200 - 40 (cash discount) = 6160

credit column = 200 + 3000 + 200 = 3400

6160 - 3400 = 2760

Bal c/d = debit side - credit side of the account. Hence we have;

Debit side = 87,000 + 488,000 + 58,000 + 50,000 = 643,000

credit side = 40,000 + 50,000 + 280,000 + 30,000 = 400,000

643,000 - 400,000 = 243,000

How much selling and distribution expenses is apportioned to department M?

A.

N800

B.

N600

C.

N400

D.

N1800

Correct answer is A

Department  difference M has a turnover of 89,000. That is 29,000 higher than department L and 49,000 higher than department K, This means department M has the highest selling and distribution cost because they sold the most. Hence the 1800 would be divided amongst the three departments in the ratio of their turnover

Department K = 400 
                   L  = 600
                  M = 800
total = 1800
