## WAEC Accounting Likely Theory Questions and Answers

Objective practice alone is not enough.

Accounting also requires you to explain concepts and prepare proper accounts.

### Question 1

**State five users of accounting information and explain why each one needs the information.**

### Answer

Possible users include:

- **Owners** — to know whether the business is making profit and whether their investment is growing.
- **Managers** — to plan operations, control costs and make business decisions.
- **Investors** — to determine whether investing in the business is worthwhile.
- **Banks and lenders** — to assess whether the business can repay loans and interest.
- **Government** — for taxation, regulation and economic planning.
- **Employees** — to assess the stability of the organisation and its ability to meet obligations to workers.
- **Suppliers** — to determine whether the business is likely to pay for goods supplied on credit.

Any five properly explained points answer the question.

### Question 2

**Explain five accounting concepts.**

### Answer

Examples include:

**Business entity concept:** The business is treated separately from its owner for accounting purposes.

**Going concern concept:** Accounts are prepared on the assumption that the business will continue operating for the foreseeable future.

**Consistency concept:** The same accounting methods should normally be used from one period to another so that financial information can be compared.

**Accrual concept:** Income and expenses are recognised in the period to which they relate, not merely when cash is received or paid.

**Prudence concept:** Expected losses should be recognised where appropriate while profits should not be overstated.

**Historical cost concept:** Assets are initially recorded using their acquisition cost.

### Question 3

**Distinguish between capital expenditure and revenue expenditure, giving two examples of each.**

### Answer

**Capital expenditure** is expenditure incurred to acquire or improve non-current assets that will benefit the business for more than one accounting period.

Examples include:

- Purchase of machinery
- Purchase of a motor vehicle
- Construction of a building
- Major improvement to an existing asset

**Revenue expenditure** relates to the normal running and maintenance of the business during the current accounting period.

Examples include:

- Rent
- Wages
- Electricity
- Routine repairs

### Question 4

**State six errors that may not affect the agreement of a trial balance.**

### Answer

They include:

- Error of omission
- Error of commission
- Error of principle
- Error of original entry
- Complete reversal of entries
- Compensating error

These errors can leave equal debit and credit entries in the books, so the trial balance may still agree.

## WAEC Accounting Likely Calculation Questions

### Question 5 — Bank Reconciliation

The cash book of Uche Enterprises showed a bank balance of ₦246,000 on 31 December.

The following items were discovered:

- Bank charges of ₦6,000 had not been entered in the cash book.
- A customer’s cheque for ₦25,000 had been dishonoured.
- A standing order of ₦15,000 had been paid by the bank but was not entered in the cash book.
- Cheques amounting to ₦48,000 had not yet been presented.
- A deposit of ₦35,000 had not yet been credited by the bank.

Calculate the **adjusted cash-book balance**.

### Answer

Balance before adjustment:

**₦246,000**

Less bank charges:

₦6,000

Less dishonoured cheque:

₦25,000

Less standing order:

₦15,000

Adjusted cash-book balance:

₦246,000 – ₦6,000 – ₦25,000 – ₦15,000

= **₦200,000**

The unpresented cheques and uncredited deposit are timing differences and do not require another entry in the adjusted cash book.

### Question 6 — Straight-Line Depreciation

A business purchased machinery for ₦1,200,000. The machinery is expected to have a residual value of ₦120,000 after nine years.

Calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method.

### Answer

Cost = ₦1,200,000

Residual value = ₦120,000

Depreciable amount:

₦1,200,000 – ₦120,000 = ₦1,080,000

Annual depreciation:

₦1,080,000 ÷ 9

= **₦120,000**

### Question 7 — Reducing Balance Depreciation

A motor vehicle costing ₦800,000 is depreciated at 20% per annum using the reducing balance method.

Calculate:

- Depreciation for the first year
- Carrying value at the end of the first year
- Depreciation for the second year

### Answer

#### First year

20% of ₦800,000:

= **₦160,000**

Carrying value:

₦800,000 – ₦160,000

= **₦640,000**

#### Second year

20% of ₦640,000:

= **₦128,000**

Therefore:

- First-year depreciation = **₦160,000**
- First-year closing carrying value = **₦640,000**
- Second-year depreciation = **₦128,000**

### Question 8 — Trading Account

The following information relates to a trader:

Opening inventory — ₦150,000
Purchases — ₦700,000
Returns outward — ₦20,000
Carriage inward — ₦40,000
Closing inventory — ₦180,000
Sales — ₦1,000,000
Returns inward — ₦30,000

Calculate:

- Net purchases
- Net sales
- Cost of goods sold
- Gross profit

### Answer

#### Net purchases

₦700,000 – ₦20,000

= **₦680,000**

#### Net sales

₦1,000,000 – ₦30,000

= **₦970,000**

#### Cost of goods available for sale

Opening inventory + Net purchases + Carriage inward

₦150,000 + ₦680,000 + ₦40,000

= ₦870,000

Cost of goods sold:

₦870,000 – ₦180,000

= **₦690,000**

#### Gross profit

₦970,000 – ₦690,000

= **₦280,000**

### Question 9 — Manufacturing Account

A manufacturer provides the following information:

Opening raw materials — ₦120,000
Purchases of raw materials — ₦600,000
Carriage inward — ₦30,000
Closing raw materials — ₦150,000
Direct wages — ₦300,000
Direct expenses — ₦50,000
Factory rent — ₦100,000
Factory power — ₦70,000

Calculate:

- Raw materials consumed
- Prime cost
- Factory cost, ignoring work in progress

### Answer

#### Raw materials consumed

Opening raw materials

- Purchases
- Carriage inward
- Closing raw materials

₦120,000 + ₦600,000 + ₦30,000 – ₦150,000

= **₦600,000**

#### Prime cost

Raw materials consumed + Direct wages + Direct expenses

₦600,000 + ₦300,000 + ₦50,000

= **₦950,000**

#### Factory overheads

Factory rent + Factory power

₦100,000 + ₦70,000

= ₦170,000

Factory cost:

₦950,000 + ₦170,000

= **₦1,120,000**

### Question 10 — Control Account

The following information relates to trade receivables:

Opening receivables — ₦200,000
Credit sales — ₦900,000
Cash received from customers — ₦700,000
Discount allowed — ₦30,000
Returns inward — ₦40,000
Bad debts — ₦20,000

Calculate the closing trade receivables balance.

### Answer

Opening receivables:

₦200,000

Add credit sales:

₦900,000

Total:

₦1,100,000

Less:

Cash received = ₦700,000
Discount allowed = ₦30,000
Returns inward = ₦40,000
Bad debts = ₦20,000

Total reductions:

₦790,000

Closing receivables:

₦1,100,000 – ₦790,000

= **₦310,000**

### Question 11 — Incomplete Records

A trader had capital of ₦500,000 at the beginning of the year and ₦680,000 at the end of the year.

During the year, the trader introduced additional capital of ₦50,000 and withdrew ₦90,000 for personal use.

Calculate the profit for the year.

### Answer

Using:

Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Additional Capital + Profit – Drawings

₦680,000 = ₦500,000 + ₦50,000 + Profit – ₦90,000

₦680,000 = ₦460,000 + Profit

Profit:

₦680,000 – ₦460,000

= **₦220,000**

### Question 12 — Subscription Account

A club received subscriptions of ₦420,000 during the year.

Included in the amount received was:

- ₦30,000 relating to the previous year
- ₦20,000 received in advance for the following year

At the end of the current year, ₦40,000 was still owed by members.

Calculate subscription income for the current year.

### Answer

Cash received:

₦420,000

Less amount relating to previous year:

₦30,000

Less amount received in advance:

₦20,000

Add current-year subscription outstanding:

₦40,000

Subscription income:

₦420,000 – ₦30,000 – ₦20,000 + ₦40,000

= **₦410,000**

### Question 13 — Partnership Appropriation

Ada and Chike share profits in the ratio 3:2.

Their partnership made a net profit of ₦900,000.

The partnership agreement provides for:

- Salary to Ada — ₦120,000
- Interest on Ada’s capital — ₦60,000
- Interest on Chike’s capital — ₦40,000

Calculate the balance of profit to be shared and each partner’s share.

### Answer

Net profit:

₦900,000

Total appropriations before residual profit:

₦120,000 + ₦60,000 + ₦40,000

= ₦220,000

Residual profit:

₦900,000 – ₦220,000

= **₦680,000**

Profit-sharing ratio = 3:2

Ada:

3/5 × ₦680,000

= **₦408,000**

Chike:

2/5 × ₦680,000

= **₦272,000**

These figures are the partners’ shares of the residual profit before adding any individual salary or interest on capital to determine their total appropriation.

### Question 14 — Accounting Ratios

The following figures were extracted from the accounts of a business:

Sales — ₦2,000,000
Gross profit — ₦500,000
Net profit — ₦240,000
Current assets — ₦800,000
Inventory — ₦200,000
Current liabilities — ₦400,000

Calculate:

- Gross profit margin
- Net profit margin
- Current ratio
- Acid-test ratio

### Answer

#### Gross profit margin

Gross Profit ÷ Sales × 100

₦500,000 ÷ ₦2,000,000 × 100

= **25%**

#### Net profit margin

₦240,000 ÷ ₦2,000,000 × 100

= **12%**

#### Current ratio

₦800,000 ÷ ₦400,000

= **2:1**

#### Acid-test ratio

Quick assets:

₦800,000 – ₦200,000

= ₦600,000

₦600,000 ÷ ₦400,000

= **1.5:1**

## More Accounting Questions You Should Be Able to Answer

Do not stop with the practice set above.

Before the examination, you should also be able to answer questions involving:

- Preparation of a three-column cash book
- Petty cash book using the imprest system
- Journal entries
- Trial balance
- Suspense account
- Correction of errors
- Final accounts with adjustments
- Provision for doubtful debts
- Disposal of non-current assets
- Sales Ledger Control Account
- Purchases Ledger Control Account
- Partnership admission
- Partnership dissolution
- Revaluation account
- Goodwill
- Shares and share capital
- Debentures
- Branch accounts
- Departmental accounts
- Public sector accounting
- Financial institutions

Use the [WAEC Accounting Areas of Concentration 2027/2028](/waec-accounting-areas-of-concentration/) as a revision checklist.

## Topics You Should Not Ignore

WAEC examiner reports have repeatedly shown that some candidates struggle because they do not properly understand the basic principles of Accounting or fail to present accounts correctly.

Common problem areas noted in previous School Candidate examinations have included end-of-year adjustments, petty cash book, branch and departmental accounts, partnership accounts, journal entries and suspense account. Candidates have also lost marks through incorrect headings, poor narrations, wrong presentation and failure to follow instructions.

This is why your preparation should not focus only on topics you personally find easy.

If suspense account is difficult for you, practise more suspense-account questions.

If partnership is your weak area, do not avoid it.

The topic you keep postponing may be the one you need to practise most.

## Use the Accounting Syllabus While Practising

Keep the [WAEC Accounting Syllabus](/waec-financial-accounting-syllabus-questions/) close while using these likely questions.

The syllabus helps you see whether your revision is balanced.

For example, being very good at final accounts does not mean you should ignore:

- Public sector accounting
- Company accounts
- Partnerships
- Control accounts
- Incomplete records
- Accounting theory

Cover the complete syllabus.

## Use Past Questions After the Likely Questions

Likely questions give you fresh practice.

Past questions show you what WAEC has actually asked in previous examinations.

You need both.

After answering a fresh question from a topic, try previous questions from the same area using the [WAEC Accounting Past Questions and Answers PDF](/waec-accounting-past-questions/).

For example:

**Study Bank Reconciliation → Attempt Likely Question → Attempt Previous WAEC Question → Check Mistakes**

That gives you a much better test of your understanding.

You can also see the full subject collection on the [WAEC Likely Questions 2027/2028 for All Subjects](/waec-likely-questions/) page.

## How to Answer Accounting Questions Better

Accounting is not only about getting a final figure.

Presentation is important.

When answering practical questions:

- Use the correct account title
- Use proper headings
- Put figures in the correct columns
- Show workings
- Use appropriate narrations
- Write currency values clearly
- Avoid unexplained abbreviations
- Follow the instruction in the question

If the question asks for a specific account, prepare that account.

Do not provide something different simply because it contains similar figures.

## Do Not Memorise the Answers

The figures in these questions can change.

The wording can change.

The transaction can change.

If you memorise:

**₦280,000 is the gross profit**

that does not help you when another question gives completely different figures.

What you need to remember is the method:

**Gross Profit = Net Sales – Cost of Goods Sold**

The same principle applies throughout Accounting.

Learn the method, not the particular figures.

## Are These the Real WAEC Accounting 2027 Questions?

No.

These are examination-style practice questions.

They are not leaked WAEC questions and should not be treated as a prediction of the exact 2027 paper.

Accounting topics come from a defined syllabus, so similar concepts can naturally appear in different examinations.

But the figures, wording and arrangement of a question can change.

The safest preparation is to understand the principles well enough to answer unfamiliar questions.
