I was a little clueless but did something like
DR P&L summary 60k
CR Prepaid rent revenue 5k
CR bank 55k

What'd you guys write for improving STO without changing Gross Profit?

I wrote improve the stock mix, get rid of slow moving stock. Then i put reduce the amount of stock on hand by doing just in time ordering.


Are these right, my second point is quite dodgy.

mmmmm

was the principle reporting period for that theory question? and also for the rent revenue ledger account was it P+L 60,000 on debit side with $10,000 accrued with 50,000 cash at bank on credit side? did everyone get 21.20 for the price of each stock? $20 + $1 plus 200/1000?

No, because it specifically said without changing the Gross Profit Ratio.

I said order less stock on average and reorder the stock around so that the slow moving lines are at the front ?:D

I said buying less stock at a time from supplier, and hiring more staff to sell stock quicker.

According to my teacher, you'd be awarded full marks since you aren't given the cost price.

I just had:

Prepaid Sales Revenue CR. 400
Sales Revenue DR. 5000
GST Clearing DR. 500
Debtor - Motel Vegas CR. 5100
Debtors Control CR. 5100

I didn't included Cost of Sales/Stock Control in the General Journal.

I only got 3 of those entries correct.
