Q1. A company has two departments X and Y. Y transferred goods to X at a profit margin of 25%. ₦10,000 worth of goods was not sold at the end of the accounting period. How much is the unrealized profit?
A₦2000
B₦2500
C12000
D12500
Correct Answer: A
Key Point: The ₦10,000 represents the transfer value (cost + profit), not the original cost. Calculation: If Department Y added 25% profit margin: Transfer price = Cost + 25% profit Transfer price = Cost × 1.25 Therefore: ₦10,000 = Cost × 1.25 Original cost = ₦10,000 ÷ 1.25 = ₦8,000 Unrealized profit = Transfer price - Original cost Unrealized profit = ₦10,000 - ₦8,000 = ₦2,000

Q4. A thermocouple thermometer is connected to a millivoltmeter which can read up to 10mV. When one junction is in ice at 0°C and the other is in steam at 100°C, the millivoltmeter reads 4mV. What is the maximum temperature which this arrangement can measure?
A100°C
B248°C
C250°C
D350°C
Correct Answer: C
Given information: Millivoltmeter maximum reading = 10 mV Temperature difference (0°C to 100°C) produces 4 mV Reference junction at 0°C Maximum temperature = ? Step 1: Find the temperature-voltage relationship Temperature difference of 100°C produces 4 mV Rate = 100°C / 4 mV = 25°C per mV Step 2: Calculate maximum temperature Maximum reading = 10 mV Maximum temperature difference from 0°C: ΔT = 10 mV × 25°C/mV = 250°C Maximum temperature: T_max = 0°C + 250°C = 250°C

Q18. A radioactive substance has a half life of 20 days. What fraction of the original radioactive nuclei will remain after 80 days?
A1/32
B1/16
C1/8
D1/4
Correct Answer: B
Given information: Half-life (T½) = 20 days Time elapsed (t) = 80 days Fraction remaining = ? Step 1: Calculate number of half-lives Number of half-lives (n) = t/T½ n = 80/20 = 4 So 4 half-lives have passed. Step 2: Calculate fraction remaining After each half-life, half of the remaining nuclei decay. After n half-lives, fraction remaining = (1/2)ⁿ Substituting: Fraction = (1/2)⁴ Fraction = 1/16
