For Weeks 1 and 3, across all 5 stores combined, what was the difference (in units) between Actual and Target sales volumes?


Step 1 – Calculate the total Week 1 and Week 3 sales across the 5 Stores
Week 1: 20 + 30 + 25 + 15 + 5 = 95
Week 3: 35 + 40 + 24 + 12 + 9 = 120

Step 2 - Calculate the total Week 1 and Week 3 targets across the 5 Stores
Week 1: 15 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10 = 75
Week 3: 35 + 35 + 30 + 15 + 15 = 130

Step 3 – Calculate the difference for Weeks 1 and 3 Week 1: 95 – 75 = 20 over target
Week 3: 120 – 130 = 10 under target
Thus the correct answer is (E) 20 over target (Week 1); 10 under target (Week 3)

Using the table below that shows income for June 2013, solve Question 

Company Name Durables(N)  Perishables(N)  Services(N)
Annex & Co
 
150,000  175,000  50,000
Bisco Solutions 125,000 180,000 25,000
Casper Nig. Ltd. 85,000 200,000 40,000

How much would Annex & Co pay for V.A.T for its Durable goods income if it is not registered with VISCO Tax Company. Profit for June for Durable goods is 100,000


If Annex and co is not registered(V.A.T =17%)
V.A.T = 17% of 100,000
          = N17,000

Casper made service income without incurring any cost in service provision. If Casper is registered with VISCO Tax Company. How much V.A.T would it pay.


Since Casper is registered with Visco (Tax rate = 15%)
V.A.T = 15% of 40,000(Since no cost is incurred)
          = N6,000(D)

If all three Companies was owned by ABC & Co Nig Ltd and ABC is registered with VISCO Tax Company. How much V.A.T would ABC & Co pay for its services if it made a profit of 40%


Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Total Income = 50,000 + 25,000 + 40,000
= N115,000

Profit = 40% of 115,000 = 46,000

V.A.T = 15% of 46,000
N6,900 (C)

Bisco Solutions is not registered with VISCO Tax Company and it made a profit that is half its perishable income. How much V.A.T would Bisco pay for its perishable goods.


Profit = Half of Bisco Solution’s Income
         = ½ of 180,000
         = ½ x 180,000
         = N90,000

V.A.T = 17% of 90,000 (We use 17% because Bisco is not registered with VISCO Tax)
          = N15,300 (C)
