Cash received from debtors 10,000

Sales for the year is
Show explanation Expand Question

The calculation is as follows:
Total Sales = Cash Received from Debtors + Discount Allowed + Closing Balance of Debtors - Opening Balance of Debtors

Substituting the values:
Total Sales = ₦10,000 + ₦500 + ₦6,000 - ₦2,000
Total Sales = ₦16,500 - ₦2,000
Total Sales = ₦14,500

Question 76

Percentage of net profit to sale is
Show explanation Expand Question
To find the percentage of net profit to sales, we first need to determine the Gross Profit and then the Net Profit.
Gross Profit is calculated as: Sales - Cost of Goods Sold.
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock.
Cost of Goods Sold = 20,000 + 140,000 - 10,000 = 150,000.
Gross Profit = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000.
Net Profit is Gross Profit minus General Expenses:
Net Profit = 50,000 - 10,000 = 40,000.
The percentage of net profit to sales is calculated as:
Net Profit / Sales * 100
40,000 / 200,000 * 100 = 20%.

Question 78

The gross profit is
Show explanation Expand Question
Gross profit is the profit a company makes after deducting the costs associated with making and selling its products. It is calculated by subtracting the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) from total Sales.
First, calculate the Cost of Goods Sold:
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock (1-09-2006) + Purchases - Closing Stock (31-08-2007)
Cost of Goods Sold = 20,000 + 140,000 - 10,000 = 150,000.
Now, calculate the Gross Profit:
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
Gross Profit = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000.

Question 79

The current ratio is
Show explanation Expand Question
To calculate the current ratio, we divide the Total Current Assets by the Total Current Liabilities.
Current Assets (at year end 31-08-2007) include:
Debtors (50,000) + Bank (10,000) + Closing Stock (10,000) = 70,000.
Current Liabilities include:
Creditors = 35,000.
The Current Ratio is calculated as:
Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities
70,000 / 35,000 = 2.
Therefore, the ratio is 2:1.

Given Information

The following balances were extracted from the books of Onuoha, a trader on 31st December 2005
Audit fee 12000
General expenses 30000
Purchases 70000
Commission paid 30000
Stock (1 - 01 - 2005) 10000
Stock ( 31 - 12 - 2005) 15000
Sales 120000

Question 80

The gross profit is
Show explanation Expand Question
Gross profit is determined by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the total sales revenue. To find the gross profit for Onuoha's business, we must first calculate the cost of goods sold using the provided inventory and purchase figures.
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
Using the values from the balances:
Opening Stock (1-01-2005) = ₦10,000
Purchases = ₦70,000
Closing Stock (31-12-2005) = ₦15,000
Cost of Goods Sold = 10,000 + 70,000 - 15,000 = ₦65,000.
Once the cost of goods sold is established, it is subtracted from the total sales:
Sales = ₦120,000
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
Gross Profit = 120,000 - 65,000 = ₦55,000.
The result represents the profit made before administrative and operating expenses like audit fees, general expenses, or commissions are deducted.
