    respected sir…..
    sir in the free lecture notes provided by open tuition,in the page where it describes about terminology,Being a car as a non-current asset,If it was met with an accident at the age of 11 months,then what will be the treatment done in financial statements…will it be concluded or converted into a current asset as it is below 12 months or any other treatment is done?

      No – it is not converted into a current asset. It was bought with the intention of keeping and that is all the matters.

    Sir why did we take cash 4000 in part e of the statement of financial position(lecture A)
    And why did we take the COGS 1500?

      April 2, 2018 at 8:30 am

      Because part )e) of the question says they paid out 3,000 cash for a car. Since they had 7,000 before, then the pay out 3,000 they are left with 4,000.

      Part (g) of the question says that they sold ‘the remainder of the goods’. Therefore he sold everything they had bought, and the total of what they had bought was 1,500.

      Had you not downloaded the lecture notes with the question in them before you watched the lecture?

      With regard to the receivables, have you downloaded the free lecture notes? Because part (g) of the question says that they sell goods for $2,800 on credit – so there are receivables of $2,800.

      December 27, 2016 at 8:43 pm

      It is explained in the lectures (and is stressed a lot – it reduces the capital and does not affect the profit)

      Withdrawals (drawings) never ever appear in the Statement of profit or loss.

      Hi Mr. John,

      I just started studying the introduction note and I find it helpful .

      Yet whenever it comes to recording the transactions I find it is difficult to decide which amount has to go to debit and which to credit ,since in the financial position statement I find that the capital is recorded as debit but in the trial account it was recorded as credit as well as in the capital T-account !!!!!!!??

      would you please clarify that to me since I am so confused about the .
      Thanks in advance .

        This chapter is just explains what we are trying to achieve and the terminology involved.

    Regarding the working for (f) the goods sold for $2400 for cash, it mentioned half the goods sold only. The working for the (f) on profit shouldn’t it be 2400 – 750?

    Log in to Reply
    • John Moffat says

      July 24, 2016 at 7:45 am

      Why 750? From (c) and (d) they had bought goods for a total of 3,000. When they sell half of them, the cost is half of 3,000 which is 1,500.

    I work for a charity and need to be able to prepare consolidated financial statements so I’m just starting on F3 through Opentuition. I know F3 doesn’t cover fund accounting but I think I understand how that is dealt with. Thank you so much for all of these excellent resources you provide for free.
