Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the cost price and diminishing balance methods of depreciation?
The cost price method calculates depreciation as a fixed percentage of the original cost every year, while the diminishing balance method calculates it based on the current book value (carrying value) of the asset.
Why do partnerships use an Appropriation Account?
The Appropriation Account is used specifically to show how the final net profit of the partnership is shared among the partners according to their agreement.
Top Exam Tip: Creditors Reconciliation
When reconciling a creditor's statement, always check the closing balance first. If it doesn't match your ledger, look for "timing differences" like payments you made that the creditor hasn't processed yet, or invoices the creditor sent that you haven't received. Rectifying these errors is a major part of the Term 1 syllabus!
