October 5, 2020 at 7:54 am #587380I do not have Kaplan books – only the BPP Revision Kit.
Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
Sorry, but we do not answer questions by email – only in the Ask the Tutor forums.

Administrative expenses 145,000
Distribution costs 59,000
Land and buildings – cost (land $200,000) 500,000
Buildings – accumulated depreciation at 1 January 20X1 100,000
Plant and equipment – cost 400,000
Plant and equipment – accumulated depreciation at 1 January
20X1
250,000
Trade and other receivables 65,000
Allowance for receivables – 1 January 20X1 1,000
Inventory – 1 January 20X1 43,000
Issued share capital ($1 each) 80,000
Share premium 30,000
Trade and other payables 42,000
Retained earnings – 1 January 20X1 325,000
Cash 59,000Required:
Task 1
(a) Confirm the missing amount to make the trial balance totals
agree and open a suspense account for the balance. (3 marks)
$ Debit/Credit
Suspense account balance
You have now been advised the suspense account balance relates
to the income tax ledger account balance that was omitted from the
list above. In addition, the finance director has advised you that all
income tax liabilities for earlier years have now been settled and that
the estimated tax liability for the year ended 31 December 20X1 is
$15,000.
(b) State the amounts you would expect to see in the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 20X1 in relation to
income tax. (2 marks)
Statement of profit or loss $______
Statement of financial position $______
The following notes are relevant to the preparation of the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 20X1:
(i) No entries have been made in respect of a dishonoured cheque
for $6,000.
(ii) Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis of 2% per
annum. Plant and equipment is depreciated at the rate of 20%
per year on a straight-line basis. This should be charged to cost
of sales.
(iii) Closing inventory has been valued at $51,000. This included
one item which had cost $5,000 which had been damaged and
could now be sold for only $3,000 if repair work costing $500
was perform on it.
(iv) The accountant of Zbox believes that the allowance for
receivables can be reduced to $500.i am having doubt in part A and B. can you just tell me how how to come to suspense account and how do i get to know how much income tax is paid so that i can write in statement of financial position
October 5, 2020 at 3:31 pm #587407For part (a) you need to write up a trial balance – you should know which of the balances are debits and which are credits. The two totals will be different and the missing figure to make them equal is what appears in the suspense account – just as with the example I work through in my lecture.
For part (b) you know what amount appears in the SOPL because the question tells you that it is $15,000. The balance on the suspense account is the amount that has been paid during the year and so the balance of the $15,000 is what will appear on the SOFP.
