Sir,
I have read that dividend received go only to the income statement and not the balance sheet.
I want to ask where it goes in income statement i.e. either in other income or somewhere else
and why not in the statement of changes in equity?
ThankyouI really do suggest that you watch our free lectures – they are a complete course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to pass the exam well.
The Statement of financial position shows assets and liabilities, so dividends received will not appear (there is nothing owing by or from the business at the end of the period).
They will appear in the Statement of Profit or Loss as other income.They do not appear separately in the Statement of changes in equity because the profit appears in the statement and this will already include the dividends received.
You can find the specimen paper on the ACCA website.
However you really should buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, because they have lots of exam standard questions to practice on, and also contain the specimen paper.
Only practicing the specimen paper is not enough – you to need to practice lots and lots of questions to be sure of success.Sir, see this question
TRIAL BALANCE AS AT 31 MAY 2016
Purchases…………………………………………………….. 5144
Drawings ……………………………………………………… 7800
Inventory as at 1 June 2015……………………………. 11927Additional information:
Inventory at the close of business has been valued at $13,551.Sir,
According to me and as I perceived you said that COS in I/S should be
Opening inventory + carriage+ Purchases – Drawings – closing inventory
11927+ 2211 + 5144 – 7800 – 13551 = -2069
But at the end of the book such solution is given, and actually, we were supposed to make financial statements.
Opening inventory 11,927
Purchases (W1) 84,561
Less closing inventory 13,551
Cost of goods sold 82,937W1
Purchases
Per trial balance 82,350
Add carriage inwards 2,211
Per statement of profit or loss 84,561PLZ do suggest me some good advice bcz I am about to give exams

(15 marks)Sir, also tell me that whether receivables should be 12120 – 877- 170 = 11073
or they should be
Receivables 12,120
Less allowance for receivables 170
Net receivables 11,950I answered 11073 and the book answered 11950
Am I following the wrong book or my concepts are really very weak.In future you must start a new thread when you are asking about a different topic. Your question has absolutely nothing to do with dividends!!
First question:
Either you have typed out the question wrongly, or there is something terribly wrong with the answer that you have in your book!!
You typed that the trial balance showed purchases as 5,144 but you say that the answer in your book shows purchases as 82,350 per the trial balance.
That is simply not possible!
Second question:
The answer from your book is correct.
Receivable are 12,120, and the allowance for receivables is 130 + 40 = 170.
Because the 877 irrecoverable debts appears in the trial balance, the entry for the irrecoverable debts must already have been made, and therefore receivables will already have been credited with the 877.
