Well, my teacher helped write the Frank Woods book, so she's pretty good :tongue: I was just the £5400 for the provision out!

were you supposed to deduct the 5400 from operating expenses then add the 720 increase in provision to expenses?

And only the prov omfd, the most i would see you loosing is 3 marks for that though, 1 for not deducting it, and 2 for the incorrect profit figure

Yeah i did and i didnt divide it by two because interest cannot be split over months. And myself and someone else had the same figure

I've realised where i went wrong... I got £168940... But if i reduce the extra £36000 for debenture then i get £132940. But i added the £4100 to the cost of sales instead of subtracting it... So if i add £8200 to cancel the figure i added on and to get the original added on then i get £141,140. How many marks do u think i would lose for these two mistakes?..

Oh woww yeah thats true so if im completely honest...1 mark for the incorrect profit, maybe 2 for the cost of sales because that was kinda hard to figure out mentally, and maybe another 1 for the debenture because it seems many people made that mistake, so id say 4 marks, 5 at max my opinion

It said something like 8200 worth of goods were sold on a sale or return basis. When it wasnt sold i think you were supposed to deduct from revenue?

Yes thats exactly what i did and add it back into closing stock which would increase profit as more stock means less purchases etc.

I did deduct the £8400... But it said the cost was £4100 so that had to be added or subtracted :s-smilie:??... But i did the opposite to what we were meant to so that would mean my IS would be £8200 out

the 4100 increased the closing inventories which means that it decreased the cost of sales so both revenue and cost of sales needed to be reduced. I messed up on the debentures and the operating expenses as i forgot to deduct the 5400 out.

Oh god :/.. Yeh i added the 4100 which makes sense where i went wrong... But i think we both will probs only lose 4/5 marks cuz i managed to get the figure others were stating just doing the two changes. Also... I don't get why you would include the whole debentures figure?... Help?!

I have no idea :/ In unit 3 accounting there is a section on partnership accounts and you have to actually divide the interest in between months so i thought it was the same here, but apparently not.

Yeh thats what i thought ... Cuz when i did unit 3 i came across the same thing and you would think you would have to apply the same rules clearly not!!... Unless it turns out others are wrong cuz i asked my teacher and she said your meanta divide them so even teachers are saying different well mine compared to some on here... Some have said the same as me and some have said you have to include all - also would you not be applying accruals concept - matching expenses to the correct period?..

I guess the only reasonable explanation is how it's a finance cost and therefore treated differently to a normal expense. For example, if you paid a preference dividend, which is also in the bottom section of the I/S for limited companies, and it was paid on 31st Oct, you wouldn't apply the accruals concept to that, and so you don't apply it to debenture interest?

It specifically said that interest would be paid on 31 october? Putting the full amount without it actually being paid is what confuses me.
