What did everyone get for question 3)b) , the benefits and limitations of budgetary control systems?
My Benefits: Assists planning, decision making, may motivate and budgetary figures can be compared with real figures.
Limitations: Leads to disfunctional management, may be set too low, benefits must exceed costs, may demotivate and also wrong figure making it inaccurate.

Does this sound okay? I'm really nervous

Pretty much what I put, then finished with a conclusion and advised the most appropriate way, depending on the ability of the business being able to afford this initial cost and continuous profit reduction

Yeah my only worry was that people talked about the benefits/limitations of computer systems, e.g they put computers make the figures more accurate and they are quicker, but the limitations are the installation costs etc

I did revenue - 8400
Cost of sales + 4100
Rent received = 12000
Added increase in trade receivables of 720 to expenses
Director's thing - 38000
Less 6% debenture 72000
Less tax 38000
But made a stupid mistake and put loss on sale as a profit of 3000. And I put the debenture interest after net profit, how many marks do you think I'll lose? My overall end profit was £133540?

No, the question didn't ask about it vein relates to computer systems, so their answers will be wrong, hope that helps!

Yeh tax was 38,000 then once you've got net profit you do an appropriation account by just taking away debenture interest and tax I believe?

It definitely is £72000, checked with my teacher and a debenture is a yearly cost, which cannot be split between months :smile:

You mean once you got net profit from operations? Yes then you take debenture interest and you get net profit before tax then you take the tax off and get net profit after tax

Well I took away depreciation from the original cost and took away the selling price, but just put it as profit and added it to the gross profit? :/

Hi, can any of you guys answer this question? I would really appreciate it! I have to do an accounting module for my first year of uni and the exam is in just over a week and I'm still totally confused lol!

Best Answer plc. was formed on 1st January 2001 with a share capital of 1 million shares of £1 per share. In the next 8 years, it retained profits of £2.5 million. On 1st January 2009 it issued another 2 million shares for which it received £8 million. In 2009, it made a profit of £1.2 million and paid a dividend of £0.7 million. The nominal value of its share capital at 31st December 2009 would be?
