Hey,
Does anyone have the solutions for computer science pre-release material?
If so, can you help me a bit by indicating what we are supposed to include in the program??
Anyone pls help
just google the question, you’ll get many results.
There are solutions in the 2015 folder.
how was the business exam guys??! really wished they put in stuff i actually studied for.
I found it pretty easy and the case was really good. I was able to include a lot of application in all of the questions. Even though some questions were sort of different it wasn’t a difficult paper to me.
Hey guys, I have a question concerning the profit and loss appropriation account for limited company. I mean do i need to put proposed preference share dividend into the P&L appropriation?
yes for sure
Yes you do need to put it. Because it is the dividend paid for “that financial year”, and is a cost in respect to the financial year (prudence principle). The fact that it proposed, yet not paid means that it will be shows in the balance sheet as current liability.
Ahmed preference share is only stated under CAPITAL AND RESERVES in Balance Sheet and also in Income Statement under expenses-(preference share dividend) . Not in appropriation account.
If what i said is wrong..pls could you kindly correct mine because i’m also an accounting candidate for may/june igcse. ๐
No, there isn’t any preference share in appropriation acct
format for p/l appropriation acct
Profit for the year
Less: Transfer to general reserve
: Ordinary share dividend-proposed
Retained profit for the year
Add: Retained profit brought forward
: Retained profit carried forward
I’m so sorry dear friend this all i could help u…..i couldn’t even find the correct image on net for u ๐
Yea, sorry for my wrong answer. But your right (thank you for correcting me ๐ ), it doesn’t go into the appropriation account. It used to go there previously but now it is shown in the income statement as an expense, correct me if im wrong. For reference, please check Oct/Nov paper 23 question number 2. In this question, the question itself asks us to deduct the preference share first and then make the appropriation account.
Btw for the above format, the ordinary share interim dividend paid also need to go into the appropriation account.
Yeah you are right.But could you pls tell me which year are you referring to the above paper you stated. :p
And what is that (ordinary share interim dividend)?
I COULDN’T RECALL THEM!!!!!!! PLS REPLY FAST!!!!!
MY EXAM IS ON COMING MONDAY…..:(
Are you an igcse candidate for this year Ahmed?
Preference share dividends (both interim paid and proposed) are added to the Income Statement (usually an extract) and not the P&L appropriation account.

Dear IGCSE Centre, When will you begin a website for A levels?
Business studies done,
Only math and economics to go……
How was business guys? It was actually okay for me, but I’m hoping the grade threshold is still lenient……
What was the paper concerning most and which variant did you do?
In variant 2 the last question, we had to write the advantages and disadvantages of the multinational entering the economy for FF right? not the advantages for the government?
yeap! not the govt. it wasn’t a very nice question… I mean there are barely any advantages! watd u write?
I think the advantages were economic growth and effiency due to the competition
Yup that’s right
What were the questions and which variant did you do?
I did paper 21, it was easier than paper 11 in my opinion. i found paper 11 little more challenging.
