Surely there is a reason why limited company income statements have never been asked? It would be strange to suddenly ask them now but you cant rule anything out, since they do ask for balance sheets for limited companys.

Yeh, they might just add a appropriation account question that relates to the income statement. I think a balance sheet will come up, i don't see many of them in Unit 2 past papers.
Whats an appropriation account :/

Sorry forget that last comment from me. AQA doesn't require you to create an appropriation account. -Note: Students will not be expected to prepare an appropriation account but could be asked to prepare a statement showing all changes in equity.-*

Oh thank God, I've finally found a thread for this paper. Good luck to you guys! :biggrin:

Asadsiddiq, that document helps SO MUCH, thank you!

I don't know how I feel. I'm making loads of notes, and I understand them, but I haven't attacked a past paper yet.

I'm just struggling answering this question: "How do you make a profit while having an overdraft?" Any help please? :frown:

Appropriation accounts are not in the specification, dont worry about those.
Timing difference of credit sales. Purchase of a non current asset. Drawings.

That came up In June 2012 so is unlikely to feature again but just in case check out the January 2010 Mark scheme (Very last question) It gives more information than the June 2012 one, so that's your best bet.

Limited Company income statements were asked last year June 2012, I'm hoping it features again.
I think a balance sheet is most likely to come up

Same, ACCN 2 sucks, I'm struggling with everything :P how about you?

I feel the same, everything is so complicated, and I sometimes they change the shares of say 25p to £1.00 by multiplying it by 4, I don't understand why, why don't they just leave it at 25p?

You are still expected to know about the appropriations account. It is a must aspect to know about. It just wont be examined directly at AS as the Statement of Changes in Equity is the new Accounting format. It is however examined at A2 for Partnership Accounting.

Take everything step-by-step. Take the spec list and work from that. Always think and ask yourself - what must I know about this topic? How can the examiner write a question on this kind of topic? What past paper example questions are there on this topic?

With Accounting you have to take one topic at a time and grasp it and then others and suddenly the topics fall together to get a bigger understanding of Accounting.
