Current Asset: An asset held for short-term use (usually within 12 months) or for conversion into cash (e.g., Inventory, Receivables). [1]
Non-Current Asset: An asset held for long-term use (more than 12 months) to generate income (e.g., Machinery, Buildings). [1]

Carriage Inwards is a cost of bringing goods into the business for resale, so it is part of the Cost of Sales (Trading Account). [1]
Carriage Outwards is a cost of distributing/selling goods to customers, so it is an operating expense (Income Statement/P&L). [1]

5. Gross Profit = Net Revenue (Sales) – Cost of Sales. [1]

6. (a) Drawings [1]
(b) Expense [1]

7. Net Profit will be overstated (because expenses are understated). [1]

Net Purchases = $45,000 -$ 2,000 = $43,000
Cost of Goods Available for Sale = $12,000 (Op) +$ 43,000 (Net Purch) + $1,500 (Carriage In) =$ 56,500
Cost of Sales = $56,500 -$ $56, 500 -$ 8,000 (Cl) = $48,500 [3]
- 1 mark for Net Purchases, 1 mark for correct addition of Op Inv/Carriage, 1 mark for final answer.

Gross Profit = $80,000 -$ 50,000 = $30,000
Net Profit = $30,000 -$ $30, 000 -$ 15,000 - $2,000 = **$ $2, 000 = * *$ 13,000** [2]
- 1 mark for Gross Profit, 1 mark for final answer.

10.

Net Sales = $100,000 -$ 5,000 = $95,000
Net Purchases = $60,000 -$ 3,000 = $57,000
Cost of Sales = $10,000 (Op) +$ 57,000 (Net Purch) - $12,000 (Cl) =$ 55,000
Gross Profit = $95,000 -$ $95, 000 -$ 55,000 = $40,000 [4]
- 1 mark for Net Sales, 1 mark for Net Purchases, 1 mark for Cost of Sales, 1 mark for final answer.

11. (a) $20,000 × 10% = **$ 2,000** [1]
(b) $20,000 -$ 2,000 = $18,000 [1]

12.

Total Drawings = $5,000 (Cash) +$ 2,000 (Goods) = $7,000
Increase in Capital = Net Profit - Drawings
Increase = $25,000 -$ $25, 000 -$ 7,000 = $18,000 [2]
- 1 mark for total drawings, 1 mark for final calculation.

13.

Required Allowance = 5% of $15,000 =$ 750
Existing Allowance = $500
Increase in Allowance = $750 -$ $750 -$ 500 = $250 (Expense) [3]
- 1 mark for required allowance, 1 mark for comparison, 1 mark for final answer.

14. $2,000 +$ 8,000 = $10,000 [1]

15.

Total Assets = $50,000 +$ 20,000 = $70,000
Accounting Equation: Assets = Capital + Liabilities
$70,000 = Capital +$ 30,000
Capital = $70,000 -$ $70, 000 -$ 30,000 = $40,000 [3]
- 1 mark for Total Assets, 1 mark for equation setup, 1 mark for final answer.
