Hi all,
As you would have guessed, BoredSatan and I work at Connect Education, and we've have compiled a set of suggested solutions for all you super awesome Accounting kids :)
Now, please bear in mind that we've done our best, but may have made mistakes. If you have questions about any of our answers, please let us know and we'll walk you through our reasoning.
Also note that because we didn't have access to the answer book, some of our answers may not be presented in the right format.
Other than that, I hope you find them useful!

Question 8c you forgot to add in Stock Gain
-
Nicely done. One mistake is in the Cash Flow Statement of question 1. You wrote "Prepaid Insurance Expense." But as the Cash Payments journal has a specific column for "Insurance," that means it's not prepaid insurance, rather, simply an operating outflow called "Insurance Expense."
And for question 8, you've assumed that the sale had already been recorded, and that there was no adjustment for prepaid insurance. Both correct, but I think the other ways would be right as well, due to the ambiguity.

Yeah I added $5000 to Sales because of ambiguity.

For the question about profit and loss on disposal being depreciation adjustment.
Isn't this not entirely true?
Because loss can also happen because the owner wanted to get rid of the asset faster thus sold it at a lower price. Or the asset could have had unexpected damages that would cause it to be sold for less than carrying value.
This wouldn't be classified as depreciation adjustments.
-
Thanks so much for the suggested answers guys!
I wonder how they'll mark on Question 3a,5b, 8a, 8b and 8d :P

I disagreed as well. The statement is fairly ignorant (not to be mean) and not true. I argued that profit/loss occurs due to inaccuracies in estimations of useful life and residual life and therefore are not explicitly depreciation adjustments.
Again, very badly worded question. I guess if you provided an explanation and justified your decision you should get the marks.
-
For the carrying value question
I said the right answer. Then I said the residual value is 3000
But then I derped and subtract the residual value from the carryng to calculate what I thought was acc dep of 6996.
So I wrote the correct answer then some incorrect bs.
How many marks would I lose 1 or 2?

Was reliability the only accepted characteristic for the statement of account question?

For 3a, the delivery charges were $2100, as there were 210 units of stock in total, wouldn't that be $10 per unit, making each scooter $81?
-
And for q5 net cash flow investing activities was actually in surplus I'm pretty sure.
-

No, whenever there is more than one Unit of Stock on an invoice, it cannot be included. The other Stock Items, such as the Trail Bikes may have costed more Delivery Expense than the Delivery charges for Scooters. Therefore, its treated as a Period Cost. :)
-
Can someone prove me wrong that: I counted the $2100 delivery charge as a product cost because it was $2100 for 210 total items which made sense to be $10/unit.
Often you just get a random value and its always a period cost but I just couldn't help finding a logical reason to apply it to each unit of stock - $10 a unit...
gah didn't catch the GST at the end and messed up some more stuff, looking at 88-90/100 so still good I guess...

it's not logical to divide it by 210 just cuz there's that many items.
Look at carpavas post above yours

What perfect number - 210? I think they purposely did that because it always trips students up. =/
-
The delivery expense cannot be allocated as a product cost because it cannot be logically allocated to an individual unit of stock since it is not directly traceable to a single item of the scooter. It just gave an entire amount which may have been distributed differently to each item. More heavier objects will weigh more and may cost more delivery expense.
-

there was a total of 210 units of stock but only 50 units of scooters, which is what the question was asking for.
