An item of capital expenditure was incorrectly treated as revenue expenditure. What is the effect on non-current assets and the loss for the year?
| Option | Non-current Assets | Loss for the Year |
|---|---|---|
| A | Overstated | Overstated |
| B | Overstated | Understated |
| C | Understated | Overstated |
| D | Understated | Understated |
Option C is correct.
- Asset not capitalised → Non-current assets understated.
- Full cost charged as expense → expenses increase → loss increases → Loss overstated.
Suppose $z$ is a complex number of unit modulus with argument $\theta$. Find $\arg\!\left(\dfrac{1+z}{1+\bar{z}}\right)$.
Let $z=e^{i\theta}=\cos\theta+i\sin\theta$. Then $\bar{z}=e^{-i\theta}$.
$\frac{1+z}{1+\bar{z}}=\frac{1+e^{i\theta}}{1+e^{-i\theta}}=\frac{e^{i\theta/2}(e^{-i\theta/2}+e^{i\theta/2})}{e^{-i\theta/2}(e^{i\theta/2}+e^{-i\theta/2})}=\frac{e^{i\theta/2}}{e^{-i\theta/2}}=e^{i\theta}$
So $\arg\!\left(\frac{1+z}{1+\bar{z}}\right)=\theta$
X and Y share profits 3:2. Interest on drawings: X $550, Y $450 (at 5%). Profit for year: $94,000. Loan interest paid to X: $3,000. Each partner drew an amount equal to their salary. What was Y's share of residual profit?
Option B ($29,200) is correct.
X's salary = $550 ÷ 5% = $11,000; Y's salary = $450 ÷ 5% = $9,000
Residual profit = $94,000 − $3,000 + $1,000 − $11,000 − $9,000 = $73,000 (Interest on drawings added back: $550+$450=$1,000)
Y's share = 2/5 × $73,000 = $29,200
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be differentiable with $|f(x)-f(y)|\le 2|x-y|^{3/2}$ for all $x,y\in\mathbb{R}$. If $f(0)=1$, evaluate $\displaystyle\int_0^1 f^2(x)\,dx$.
From the condition $|f(x)-f(y)|\le 2|x-y|^{3/2}$, divide both sides by $|x-y|$:
$\left|\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{x-y}\right|\le 2|x-y|^{1/2}$
Taking $y\to x$: $|f'(x)|\le 2\cdot0=0$, so $f'(x)=0$ for all $x$.
Hence $f$ is constant. Since $f(0)=1$, we have $f(x)=1$ for all $x$.
$\int_0^1 f^2(x)\,dx = \int_0^1 1\,dx = \mathbf{1}$
- Across a period: decreases left to right (increasing Z*)
- Down a group: increases (new shells added)
So increasing order: Cl < P < Mg < Ca
The time period of a pendulum is $T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$, so $L \propto T^2$.
- Initial length: $L = kT^2$
- New length: $L + \Delta L = k T_M^2$
- Strain: $\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \frac{T_M^2 - T^2}{T^2} = (\frac{T_M}{T})^2 - 1$
- From $Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{Mg/A}{\Delta L/L}$
- Therefore, $\frac{1}{Y} = \frac{\Delta L/L}{Mg/A} = [(\frac{T_M}{T})^2 - 1]\frac{A}{Mg}$
