Find the day of the week on 25th December 1995.
(a) Sunday
(b) Monday
(c) Tuesday
(d) Wednesday
Explanation: 1900 has 1 odd day. Next 94 years = 23 LY + 71 NY = 46 + 71 = 117 days = 5 odd days. Total to 1994 = 6 odd days. Days in 1995 to Dec 25: Jan(3) + Feb(0) + Mar(3) + Apr(2) + May(3) + Jun(2) + Jul(3) + Aug(3) + Sep(2) + Oct(3) + Nov(2) + Dec(25=4) = 30 = 2 odd days. Total odd days = 6 + 2 = 8 = 1. Day 1 is Monday.
#105
Find the day of the week on 31st December 1999.
(a) Thursday
(b) Friday
(c) Saturday

If the inventory valuation at 31 December 2017 was overstated by $6,000, what is the impact on the gross profit for the year ending 31 December 2018?
(a) S6 000 overstated
(b) nil effect
(c) $12 000 overstated
(d) $6 000 understated
Explanation: Closing inventory for 2017 becomes the opening inventory for 2018. If 2017 closing inventory is overstated, the opening inventory for 2018 is also overstated. Since Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory, an overstated opening inventory increases the cost of goods sold, thereby reducing the gross profit for 2018 by the same amount.
