[2]
(1 mark for each correct definition)

Existing Allowance: $2,000 Required Allowance:$ 3,000
Increase in Allowance: $1,000
[2]
(1 mark for calculation, 1 mark for identifying increase)

8.
(a) Year 1 Depreciation = $40,000 × 20% =$ 8,000
[1]

Net Book Value at start of Year 2 = $40,000 -$ 8,000 = $32,000 Year 2 Depreciation =$ 32,000 × 20% = $6,400
[2]
(1 mark for NBV, 1 mark for depreciation)

9.
(a) Insurance Expense = $2,400 -$ 400 (prepayment) = $2,000
[1]

Total Units Available = 10 + 20 + 15 = 45 units
Units Sold = 35 units

Therefore, the 10 units are from the 20 June purchase @ $60.

Value of Closing Inventory = 10 units × $60 =$ 600

[6]
(1 mark for each correct expense adjustment/calculation: Wages, Rent, Depreciation. 1 mark for listing other expenses correctly. 1 mark for Total Expenses. 1 mark for Net Profit)

16. Net Book Value of Motor Vehicles

Cost: $40,000 Accumulated Depreciation:$ 8,000 (b/d) + $6,400 (current year) =$ 14,400
NBV = $40,000 -$ 14,400 = $25,600

[2]
(1 mark for accumulated depreciation, 1 mark for NBV)

17. Total Current Assets

Inventory: $18,500 Trade Receivables:$ 18,000
Prepayments (Rent): $800 Bank:$ 6,000
Total = $18,500 +$ 18,000 + $800 +$ 6,000 = $43,300

[2]
(1 mark for identifying all items, 1 mark for total)

18. Total Current Liabilities

Trade Payables: $12,000 Accruals (Wages):$ 1,200
Total = $12,000 +$ 1,200 = $13,200

[2]
(1 mark for identifying all items, 1 mark for total)

19. Closing Capital

Opening Capital: $80,000 Add: Net Profit:$ 15,700
Less: Drawings: ( $12,000) Closing Capital =$ 80,000 + $15,700 -$ 12,000 = $83,700

[2]
(1 mark for workings, 1 mark for answer)

20. Net Assets Verification

Total Assets = Non-Current Assets ( $25,600) + Current Assets ($ 43,300) = $68,900 Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities ($ 13,200)
Net Assets = $68,900 -$ 13,200 = $55,700

Note: There is a discrepancy between Net Assets ( $55,700) and Closing Capital ($ 83,700) due to the unbalanced Trial Balance provided in the question source (as noted in Q14). However, based on the accounting equation Assets = Capital + Liabilities:
If we use the calculated Closing Capital ( $83,700) and Liabilities ($ 13,200), Total Financing = $96,900.* *If we use the calculated Assets ($ 68,900), there is a missing figure of $28,000 on the Credit side of the TB (likely Capital was understated in the prompt or another liability omitted).

For marking purposes:
Student should show:
Net Assets = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
= $68,900 -$ 13,200 = $55,700. Comparison: Does not match Closing Capital of$ 83,700. Discrepancy due to TB error.

(1 mark for correct Net Assets calculation based on their figures, 1 mark for comment on discrepancy or matching if they adjusted Capital to balance)
