Please explain sirSeptember 18, 2021 at 11:10 am #635952Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers – they have answers and explanations 🙂
(1) Is a current liability of $5,000 because the customer has paid a deposit for goods that have not yet been delivered.
(2) is a current asset of $2,500 because there is a prepayment of 3/6 x $5,000.
(3) The loan itself is a non-current liability. However the is a current asset of the $12,000 cash received, and a current liability of the interest owing of 6/12 x 5% x $12,000.
Have you watched my free lectures? They are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

3) the answer given posted the 12k usd loan under current asset.
May I know why the 12k usd loan is posted under the current asset and not under liability? Sorry if you have covered in your lectures but i could not recall.April 24, 2022 at 6:50 pm #654367This is exactly what I explained in my previous reply!!!
The loan is a non-current liability (and so is not a current liability).
The cash they have borrowed is a current asset.
