A.

N333,000

B.

N234,000

C.

N343,000

D.

N243,000

Correct answer is D

Credit sales = 160%  x 280,000 (cash receivable)

160/100 x 280,000

1.6 x 280,000 = 448,000

credit sales = 448,000

Bal c/d = debit side - credit side of the account. Hence we have;

Debit side = 87,000 + 488,000 + 58,000 + 50,000 = 643,000

credit side = 40,000 + 50,000 + 280,000 + 30,000 = 400,000

643,000 - 400,000 = 243,000

Bal c/d = 243,000

How much selling and distribution expenses is apportioned to department M?

A.

N800

B.

N600

C.

N400

D.

N1800

Correct answer is A

Department  difference M has a turnover of 89,000. That is 29,000 higher than department L and 49,000 higher than department K, This means department M has the highest selling and distribution cost because they sold the most. Hence the 1800 would be divided amongst the three departments in the ratio of their turnover

Department K = 400 
                   L  = 600
                  M = 800
total = 1800
