What is the answer for the supense theory? Error of omission/principle/commission etc aren't the answers.
Also how do you treat the dishonoured cheque in service firm? I entered it as a bad debt in P & L, and added it to bank overdraft

I couldn't remember so for one I said non-compensating errors. I reckoned it was worth a gamble;) could be wrong though too...

Q1 and Q7 worked out.
Q6 I was out but not by much.
Q9 I did the workings all out right but forgot to put the discount into the P and L! It's in the workings though.

Hoping for an A!

Can't remember what I got in any of them but I know my suspense was 300 off balancing, my service firm was about 70000 off and my sole trader was 15000 off. I can't see why anyone can complain with section one and two because everyone said that suspense and club/service were odds on to come up and they did. They had to male them hard questions considering they are two of the easier topics in section 2. Really wanted and needed an A1 in that but after getting none of them to balance and leaving out the very last part of the service firm question I can't see it happening unfortunately. The cash budget that came up was lovely though.

what? error of omission/principle/commission wasn't the answers? oh god this just gets worse and worse, was looking for the A1 in that, oh well!

I think I got an NG and I'm afraid they won't ever let me count the money now.

yep it was confusing..control account theory was strange too

SantryRed

Yes they were the answer.

He's right though, they weren't. It said "errors that affect the balancing of a Trial Balance" and none of those do.

I wrote down an example of each as well, just to be safe.

Did anyone else do Q.8?? Any chance of an answer for (c)ii?

SantryRed

Well they do affect the trial balance because the figures are wrong in the TB. That's my line and I'm sticking to it

Denial isn't worth any marks I'm afraid.:P
They don't stop it balancing, so they were wrong.

Do you know what the answer is?

Error of original entry is one, I'm not sure of the others. I just said calculation errors, and something else which I've forgotten. Nasty bit of a question.

Making It Bad

The cash flow and control in 60 mark section were piss easy! I never got why people do question 1.

Anyone else in one of the 16 schools that got the f*cked-up paper, or just me? :mad:

Apparantly 1,2,3,4,2,3,4,9,9 is a proper sequence of questions, if my paper was to be believed

service firm was disgusting

and also sole trader wasnt too nice either

why are all the exams so hard this year

i studied loads for accounting, also even if u did all the exam papers for accounting, u still wouldnt be able to get that sole trader and service firm right(well it didnt help me anyway)

Same with me, the Service was easier than the Sole, but still tough. I was getting negative depreciation for Service, and for a second I was like

"Can you make a profit from depreciation....." :pac:

I bet they'll change the suspense theory marking scheme, a lot will have gone for the Error of Ommision etc. and it can be easily argued that while both Trial Balances are THE SAME it does still however affect the Trial Balance because it is INCORRECT......

.....hopefully.

Is it true that some schools received exam papers which were flawed?

RexMundi

What a shambles!

The amount of people in my exam hall completely freaking out when they realised that we had no Q5, 6, 7 or 8 was ridiculous! The exam commission is an absolute disgrace. Loads of people were depending on a good result on this and were thrown by the shambles of having to get the extra questions printed.

Saying that, it wasn't a bad paper at all. Pretty sure I did rather pleasantly!

yes. There were a few questions missing in 16 schools in dublin. The full set of questions were then emailed / faxed to the schools by the SEC
