Please explain sirWhy 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.
Sir,
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.
