Q1. Under the double-entry bookkeeping system, every transaction is recorded in at least how many accounts?

A. Four
B. Two
C. Three
D. One

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Two

Double-entry bookkeeping requires each transaction to affect at least two accounts, with a debit entry in one and a corresponding credit entry in another, keeping the accounting equation in balance.

Q2. Which of the following errors would NOT be revealed by an imbalanced trial balance?

A. An error of complete omission
B. Posting a debit entry but forgetting the matching credit entry
C. Entering a debit figure as £950 instead of £590
D. Posting only one side of a journal entry

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. An error of complete omission

An error of complete omission means a transaction is left out of both sides entirely, so debits and credits stay equal and the trial balance still balances. Missing one side of an entry, or entering different figures on each side, will cause an imbalance.

Q3. What is the key difference between a zero-rated supply and an exempt supply?

A. Zero-rated supplies do not appear on a VAT return at all
B. A business making only zero-rated supplies cannot register for VAT
C. Zero-rated supplies are taxable supplies at 0%, so input VAT can be reclaimed; exempt supplies are not taxable, so related input VAT generally cannot
D. There is no practical difference for a VAT-registered business

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: C. Zero-rated supplies are taxable supplies at 0%, so input VAT can be reclaimed; exempt supplies are not taxable, so related input VAT generally cannot

Zero-rated supplies count as taxable supplies, meaning associated input VAT is recoverable. Exempt supplies fall outside the VAT system entirely, so input VAT relating to them is normally irrecoverable - this trips up many students.
