However, many students lose marks not because the topic is difficult, but because they make simple calculation and allocation errors.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Most mistakes occur while calculating <strong>Time Ratio<\/strong>, <strong>Sales Ratio<\/strong>, allocating expenses, or giving incorrect accounting treatment to specific items. Understanding these common errors helps students improve accuracy and avoid unnecessary loss of marks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article discusses the most frequently observed mistakes, explains why they occur, and provides practical tips to avoid them.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 1: Wrong Calculation of Time Ratio<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Many students calculate the Time Ratio incorrectly by counting the months inaccurately.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Example<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Date of Purchase: <strong>1 January 2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Date of Incorporation: <strong>1 April 2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Accounting Year Ends: <strong>31 December 2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Correct Period:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Pre-Incorporation = 3 Months<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Post-Incorporation = 9 Months<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Correct Time Ratio<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>3 : 9 = 1 : 3<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Wrong Answer<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Some students write:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>4 : 8<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>3 : 8<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>1 : 4<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>These ratios are incorrect.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Why This Happens<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Incorrect counting of months.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Confusion about the date of incorporation.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Ignoring the accounting year.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>How to Avoid<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Draw a timeline before solving the problem.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Count complete months carefully.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Simplify the ratio before using it.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 2: Wrong Calculation of Sales Ratio<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Students often use the <strong>Time Ratio<\/strong> instead of the <strong>Sales Ratio<\/strong> for allocating Gross Profit and selling expenses.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Example<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Pre-Incorporation Sales = \u20b910,00,000<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Post-Incorporation Sales = \u20b930,00,000<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Correct Sales Ratio<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>10 : 30 = 1 : 3<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Some students wrongly use <strong>Time Ratio<\/strong> even when separate sales figures are provided.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Why This Happens<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Failure to distinguish between Time Ratio and Sales Ratio.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Assuming sales occur uniformly throughout the year.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Correct Rule<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Whenever separate sales figures are available, <strong>always calculate the Sales Ratio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 3: Wrong Allocation of Gross Profit<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Gross Profit is one of the most commonly misallocated items.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Students frequently allocate Gross Profit using the <strong>Time Ratio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Gross Profit depends directly on sales.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Therefore, it should always be allocated on the <strong>Sales Ratio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Example<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Gross Profit = \u20b912,00,000<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sales Ratio = 1 : 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Correct Allocation<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Pre = \u20b93,00,000<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Post = \u20b99,00,000<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Wrong Allocation<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Using the Time Ratio instead of the Sales Ratio results in an incorrect division of profit.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Examination Tip<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Remember: Gross Profit follows Sales, not Time.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 4: Wrong Allocation of Administrative Expenses<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Students often allocate administrative expenses on the Sales Ratio.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Examples include:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Rent<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Office Salaries<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Insurance<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Office Expenses<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Depreciation<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Administrative expenses are incurred evenly throughout the accounting period.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Therefore, they should be allocated on the <strong>Time Ratio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Why This Happens<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Students assume that all expenses are related to sales.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This assumption is incorrect.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 5: Wrong Allocation of Selling Expenses<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Selling expenses are sometimes allocated on the Time Ratio.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Examples include:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Advertisement<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Sales Commission<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Carriage Outward<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Discount Allowed<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Bad Debts<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Sales Promotion Expenses<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>These expenses vary according to sales.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Therefore, they must be allocated on the <strong>Sales Ratio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 6: Wrong Treatment of Audit Fees<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Many students divide Audit Fees between both periods.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Audit Fees relate to the statutory audit of the company.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Since the company exists only after incorporation, Audit Fees belong entirely to the <strong>Post-Incorporation Period<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Wrong Entry<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Pre = \u20b910,000<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Post = \u20b930,000<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is incorrect.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Correct Entry<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Pre = Nil<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Post = Full Amount<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 7: Wrong Treatment of Directors&#8217; Remuneration<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Students often apportion Directors&#8217; Remuneration between both periods.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Directors are appointed only after incorporation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Therefore,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Entire Directors&#8217; Remuneration belongs to the

Remuneration<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Managing Director&#8217;s Salary<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Allocate the entire amount to <strong>Post-Incorporation<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 8: Wrong Treatment of Partners&#8217; Salary<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Students allocate Partners&#8217; Salary on the Time Ratio.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Partners exist only before incorporation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Therefore,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Partners&#8217; Salary belongs entirely to the <strong>Pre-Incorporation Period<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><em>Mistake 9: Wrong Accounting Treatment of Profit Prior to Incorporation<\/em><\/h1>\n<h2><em>The Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Students transfer Profit

Mistake<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>Students deduct the loss directly from Revenue Profit.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><em>Correct Treatment<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Loss Prior to Incorporation
