I don't think sundry creditors get a subsidiary ledger - they're reported as a CL in the b.s.

I am unsure for the layout in this question, it's not even in the damn unit.

I did:

DR Equipment 850
    CR Stock Control 850

DR Equipment 350
DR GST Clearing 35
   CR Creditors Control 385  <- wasn't sure what to put for the heading =/

Why wasent there in the GST clearning account at the start of 2.2, the $35 entry of GST from the sundry creditor???

I assumed it was two separate transactions, although honestly I have no clue as I haven't done this question in recent memory.

It has to be a sundry creditor. The firm was invoiced for a service that doesn't relate to the purchase of stock on credit.
Title: Re: Sundy creditor
Post by: Raahem on June 08, 2010, 08:23:57 pm
dear everybody,

this was a credit transaction, how come it goes in the general journal?!
is it because the Purchase Journal deals only with purchase of stock?

and,
if sundry creditors is a unit 4 thing, will this question get free marks?

and please be nice, i found this exam tricky :(

Purchases journal is only used to record credit purchases of stock. Credit purchases of everything else other than stock go through the GJ.
Technically, it's not on the course but you're *supposed* to know how to do these kinds of transactions. I actually came across them in a few of the third party exams, and my teacher went over it the next day.
it was basically CR Sundry creditor xxx (no SL entry)

And I don't reckon they're gonna exclude this question from the course (it was 4 marks - only 1 of which goes to the Sundy creditor entry)

The topic of sundry creditors is touched upon in the unit 3 section (can't remember which chapter) of the Neville Box Textbook. I was reading it in the blood bank on monday, luckily. It cant be creditors control/purchases journal/subsidiary ledger. has to be a sundry creditor
Title: Re: Sundy creditor
Post by: mojomojo on June 09, 2010, 01:13:07 pm
Yeah, it has to be Sundry Creditor eventhough it shouldn't be a Unit 3 topic. Vicki Baron and Neville Box didn't mention a thing about Sundry Creditor in their lectures..

There, my 4 marks are gone because of this question. : (

Our teacher who is an examiner spoke to VCAA not sure whether it will be the full 4 marks or just 1...
Title: Re: Sundy creditor
Post by: LFTM on June 09, 2010, 05:47:32 pm
one of the accounting teachers at my school was not impressed about the sundry creditor, nor was he happy about the stockcard question and the fifo question.
Title: Re: Sundy creditor
Post by: Yitzi_K on June 09, 2010, 06:27:09 pm
My accounting teacher said her source in VCAA said

Quote
No student will be disadvantaged because of that question

Whatever that means.

I doubt they'd give all 4 marks automatically. Out of those 4 marks, only one was to do with the sundry creditor, so I assume they'd give every student a minimum of 1 for that question.
Title: Re: Sundy creditor
Post by: mojomojo on June 09, 2010, 06:54:52 pm
Unless the answer doesn't involve Sundry Creditor.. which i highly doubt it, don't think there's any other options besides Sundry Creditor.

hmmm what about

DR Equipment                            1200
DR GST Clearing                            35
CR Stock Control                                850
CR Accrued Installation Expense            385

I really hope they ask you to identify the qualitative characteristics of financial reports as per The Framework, including all of the subsets + explanations in the next paper, followed by an asset test for intellectual property which factors in all definitions and recognition criteria. Lets not worry that it's not in the study design, or that it's using the updated Conceptual Framework; it's not fair to the people who'd get it right, amirite?

True true, it's MOST LIKELY NOT A SUNDRY CREDITOR. However if it is I would be very cross at mr. vcaa for conveniently altering their marking scheme.

Accounting study design dot points:

the use of the general journal to record infrequent non-cash transactions (GST not applicable):
– establishing a double entry system
– correction of errors
– contribution of non-current assets by the owner
– withdrawals of stock by the owner
– bad debts;

Doesn't look likely that its a sundry creditor... it HAS to be something other than a sundry creditor...
