Title: Accounting exam solutions
Post by: abcdqd on November 11, 2014, 03:02:08 pm
Hi all,

These are my solutions to the exam, please correct any errors I've made. I have no idea how VCAA will mark though, so please don't ask me about Question 2 LOL.

By the way I didn't have the answer book so I'm not sure how they set out Q2.

Solutions: https://www.mediafire.com/?1dqz00scv3x8vw8 [fixed Q2, thanks angelicachee!]

What do you think the A and A+ Cutoffs will be? Lower than last year?

Lower I think, maybe 80-81/100

The exam was long and there were a lot of tricks. 50 cut-off, I have no idea, but it'll probably be lower than last year.

Cost price per unit was 95+5=100. Stock writedown is 100-60*=40 per unit, totalling to 2400 for 60 units.

*60 is the NRV because expected selling price is 70 (we choose the lowest possible selling price under conservatism) minus the cost of the coffee pods (10). Don't include delivery out in your calculation because it is not paid by the business.

Alright Thank you, I think I misread the coffee pod part getting a NRV of $70 :(. Thanks for putting up the answers!

GA1: 94/100
GA2: 96/100
GA3: 84/100

Possible study score seeing as though exam A+ cutoff is predicted to be a bit lower than last years?

Noooooo, I got the NRV correct but made a silly mistake and when working out the write down multiplied stock on hand times the NRV (60), not the value of the actual write-down (40).

Oh well - it's only mark lost since it's consequential marks in the general journal entries.

thanks for solutions by the way, sure many would find them useful - personally I can't bring myself to read them :P

For the budgeted cash flow statement, would I lose two marks for including the wrong figure for receipts from debtors?
Or would I lose one due to consequential marks?

one due to consequential. one mistake = one mark lost in most cases.

With the general journal in Q7b regarding the prepaid sales entry, I wrote the wrong accounts (ran out of time and just slapped down advertising and prepaid advertising without thinking) but I managed to get both the 120,000 debit and credit correct.

Would I manage to sneak 1/2 for that question?
