(xvii) [B]b[/B] (doubt)
(xviii) [B]c[/B] (ambigous statement)
(xix) [B]a[/B]
(xx) [B]b[/B] (It is better to select option [B]d[/B]: none of these. Becuase deficit is not used in standard accounting methods. Examiner wants to ask with respect to Non-trading business concerns that is why [B]b[/B] is the answer as per his intentions. Otherwise Excess of expenditure over income is best terminolgy in non-trading concerns).

Very well done Raz, but still there are some mistakes or only one misconception which caused these (two) mistakes.

i) is (d) because expense occur when assets are consumed and realized, not will they are purchased.

viii) is (d) reason is same.

To clearify this I recomend meigs 11e's chapter 3 and 4.

And I confirm;

ix) is (d)
xvi) is (c), confusion is of termnology. Operating cycle is not used for "cash conversion cycle" in many books, but they are same.
xviii) is (c) its the best answer. And states the purpose of Financial Statements.

And I doubt;
xvii) to be (d)

So now it becomes;

(i) [B]d[/B]
(ii) c
(iii) c
(iv) a
(v) c
(vi) b
(vii) d
(viii) [B]d[/B]
(ix) d
(x) d
(xi) d
(xii) c
(xiii) a
(xiv) c
(xv) d
(xvi) c
(xvii) Raz says (b) and doubts, I say (d) and doubt.
(xviii) c
(xix) a
(xx) b

@Purab Sarhan

Thank you dear. Your grip over accounting seems satisfactory. I need one more thing from you. That is: If you find time do solve the problems in this thread in order to tally our answers.


Your effort to participate in this forum is laudable.

@ Raz

Raz you know what, we were wrong. Closings are done after Preparation of financial Statements. Therefore (vi) is not "d" it is "b". Revenue and Expense Accounts are forwarded into Income Statement, Net Income is brought into Statement of Owers' Equity, ending O.E comes into Balance Sheet. After that Expenses, Revenue, income summary and drawings are closed, to clean these accounts for new period. So Financial Statements are not prepared after closing trial balance (accounts).
And I would solve it in matter of days Raz, I wonder if that would still be of any use to you. I am taking my term papers.

@ Omer

Dear, what I conclude so far, after looking at syllabus, even closely looking at past papers and being the student of finance, meigs & meigs 11e first fourteen chapters are more than enough for paper-I. A good understanding of the concepts and practice on the exercises and problems will enable you to attempt paper comfortably. You may look any book for further practice of problems. You know, the pattern of the problems in CSS papers is typical its not more tricky than meigs' but still more you do more you are comfortable. For further practice I can suggest “Financial Management” by Brigham 9 or 10e, especially for “Analysis of Financial Statements” i-e ratios and “Working Capital Management”. (Cash Budget was in 2009, Budget was required only for one month and carried solid 25 marks.)

Dear I could not understand what did you want to say?
I think we have already marked option (b), which is correct then what is wrong?

@ Raz
:oo You are right Raz, may be this conflict was going in my mind and I had to put this explanation here with that I [B]wrongly supposed[/B] that we supported "d". Sorry for distortion.
