1In the accounting equation, which arrangement is correct?
A.Capital = Assets + Liabilities
B.Assets = Capital - Liabilities
C.Assets = Liabilities + Capital
D.Liabilities = Assets + Capital
Explanation: The accounting equation states Assets = Capital + Liabilities (often written Assets = Liabilities + Capital). It reflects that everything a business owns is funded either by the owner (capital) or by outsiders (liabilities), so the two sides always balance.
2A business buys a delivery van to use for several years. How should this expenditure be classified?
A.Revenue expenditure
B.Capital expenditure
C.A current liability
D.Drawings
Explanation: Capital expenditure is spending on non-current (fixed) assets that will be used in the business over the long term, such as a delivery van. It is recorded as an asset rather than expensed in full in the period of purchase.
3Which of the following is an example of revenue expenditure?
A.Purchase of new office building
B.Installation of a new machine
C.Buying a company car
D.Repairs to the office photocopier
Explanation: Revenue expenditure is the day-to-day running cost of the business that is used up within the period, such as repairs and maintenance. Repairing the photocopier maintains an existing asset rather than acquiring or improving a long-term one.
4Following the dual effect (double-entry) principle, every transaction is recorded with:
A.One entry in the general ledger
B.Equal debit and credit entries
C.Two debit entries
D.A single entry in a daybook only
Explanation: Double-entry bookkeeping records every transaction with equal debit and credit entries, reflecting the dual effect each transaction has. This keeps the accounting records in balance and underpins the trial balance.
5Which one of the following is a liability of a business?
A.Cash at bank
B.A bank loan
C.Trade receivables
D.Office equipment
Explanation: A liability is an amount the business owes to others. A bank loan is money owed to the bank and is therefore a liability. The other items are assets the business owns or is owed.
6What is the main purpose of using account codes in a bookkeeping system?
A.To increase the amount of VAT charged
B.To replace the trial balance
C.To uniquely identify and organise accounts for accurate posting
D.To calculate the owner's drawings
Explanation: Account codes give each customer, supplier and general ledger account a unique reference so transactions can be posted accurately and traced. Coding supports organised filing and is essential in computerised systems.
7In a digital (cloud) bookkeeping system, which task is typically automated?
A.Deciding the discount policy with customers
B.Creating a trial balance from the general ledger accounts
C.Negotiating supplier prices
D.Choosing which expenses are tax allowable
Explanation: Digital bookkeeping software automatically completes the transfer of data from books of prime entry to the ledgers and creates a trial balance from the general ledger balances, reducing manual posting errors. Judgement tasks such as setting discount policy remain with people.
8A business has assets of £85,000 and liabilities of £30,000. What is the capital?
A.£115,000
B.£30,000
C.£55,000
D.£85,000
Explanation: Capital = Assets - Liabilities = £85,000 - £30,000 = £55,000. This rearrangement of the accounting equation shows the owner's stake after deducting what is owed to outsiders.
9Which document is sent by a supplier to a customer to formally request payment for goods supplied on credit?
A.Remittance advice
B.Goods received note
C.Purchase order
D.Sales invoice
Explanation: A sales invoice is issued by the supplier to the customer stating the goods, amounts, VAT and total due, and it requests payment for a credit sale. It is the source document for entries in the sales daybook.
10What is the purpose of a credit note issued to a customer?
A.To request immediate payment
B.To order more goods
C.To reduce the amount the customer owes, e.g. for returns or PPD
D.To record cash received
Explanation: A credit note reduces the amount a customer owes, for example when goods are returned or to grant a prompt payment discount (PPD). At AAT Level 2, PPD is adjusted using credit notes recorded in a discounts allowed daybook.
