My teacher, who is a marker and wrote the red textobook some of you might use, described the exam as 'insane', as in hard not nonsensical, and said that an A+ would be about 72 ish. I reckon a lot of people will have struggled to finish and missed out on the easy marks on the last 2 pages as well, cos of that weird arse table question.

Anthony Simmons?

Yeh, thank-god he agrees with me. Its like they tried to make everything to complicated. I feel sorry for the people who arnet very good at Accounting who whooo codda got like 30/90 and now looking at 5/90. so stupid

If it is Anthony Simmons u're talking bout then u're lucky 2 have had such a good teacher.


Generally speaking, @ least the exams this year did reasonably well in testing actual knowledge, not how many stupid little mistakes 1 can make under exam conditions.
I'll put money on 73/90, judging by every1's unhappiness XD

OH FUCK I DIDNT CIRCLE ANY OF THEM!!! I JUST SAID THAT IT WOOD IMPROVE AND EXPLAINED IT. I HAD 30 SECONDS TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION CAUSE I DID IT LAST. OH FUCK...  HOPE I DONT GET ANAL MARKERS WHO ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD

Examiners do their best 2 give marks where they're allowed 2.
If u've clearly stated 'improve' I reckon u'll get the marks, even if u didn't circle it.

Hmm...the last few were worth the most :(

I'm guessing it was...
21 Nov- Order : No effect x3
25th Nov- Deposit : Increase, Increase, No effect.
21st Dec- 15 beds delivery: Decrease, No effect, Decrease
15th Jan- Increase, Decrease, Increase.

I might be wrong though...lol, but if i'm right, it doesn't seem too hard at all.
Those weren't the answers i put though :( i have no idea what i put lol.

First one and second one are right

3rd is the one that gets tricky , 15 beds delivered means that sales is 7500, 2000 prepaid, 5500 debtors, + 750 GST

Cost Price means that stock control decreases 4500 and cost of sales increases/net profit decreases 4500

Overall
assets increase 1750 (increase 6250 (debtors + GST) - cost price 4500)
liabilities decrease 1250 (prepaid sales revenue decreases 2000, GSt liability increases 750)
Owners equity increase 3000 (sales increases 7500, less cost of sales 4500)

4th one

5 beds delivered

assets increase 1250 ( Debtors control 2500 + 250 GST less stock 1500), the fact that all money was paid is simply a restructure of assets. assets still increase tho

liabilities increase 250 (GST clearing 250)

Owners equity increases 1000 (2500 Sales revenue -1500 cost)
