4. Bee, Cee and Dee have been holding preliminary discussions with a view to forming a

partnership to buy and sell antiques.

The position has now been reached where the prospective partners have agreed the basic

arrangements under which the partnership will operate. Bee will contribute 40,000 as

capital, and up to 10,000 as a longterm loan to the partnership, if needed. He has

extensive other business interests and will not therefore be taking an active part in the

running of the business. Cee is unable to bring in more than 2,000 as capital initially, but,

because he has an expert knowledge of the antique trade, will act as the manager of the

business on a full-time basis. Dee is willing to contribute 10,000 as capital. He will also

assist in running the business as the need arises. In particular, he is prepared to attend

auctions anywhere within the United Kingdom in order to acquire trading inventory

which he will transport back to the firm's premises in his van.

On occasions he may also help Cee to restore the articles prior to sale to the public.

At the meeting, the three prospective partners intend to decide upon the financial

arrangements for sharing out the profits (or losses) made by the firm, and have

approached you for advice.

You are required to prepare a set of explanatory notes, under suitable headings, of

the considerations which the prospective partners should take into account in

arriving at their decisions at the next meeting.

5. Maringo set up in business as a plumber a year ago, and he has asked you to act as his

accountant. His instructions to you are in the form of the following letter.

Dear student,

I was pleased when you agreed to act as my accountant and look forward to your first

visit to check my records. The proposed fee of TZS 25,000 p.a. is acceptable. I regret that

the paperwork for the work done during the year is incomplete. I started my business on 1

January last, and put TZS 650,000 into a busi- ness bank account on that date. I brought

my van into the firm at that time, and reckon that it was worth TZS 360,000 then. I think

it will last another three years after the end of the first year of business use.

I have drawn TZS 9,000 per week from the business bank account during the year. In my

trade it is difficult to take a holiday, but my wife managed to get away for a while. The

travel agent's bill for TZS 28,000 was paid out of the business account. I bought the lease

of the yard and office for TZS 650,000. The lease has ten years to run, and the rent is only

TZS 30,000 a year payable in advance on the anniversary of the date of purchase, which

was 1 April. I borrowed TZS 400,000 on that day from Aunt Jane to help pay for the

lease. I have agreed to pay her 10 per cent interest per annum, but have been too busy to

do anything about this yet

I was lucky enough to meet Miss Jesca shortly before I set up on my own, and she has

worked for me as an office organiser right from the start. She is paid a salary of TZS

300,000 p.a. All the bills for the year have been carefully preserved in a tool box, and we

analysed them last week. The materials I have bought cost me TZS 960,000, but I

estimated there was TZS 58,000 worth left in the yard on 31 December. I have not yet

paid for them all yet, I think we owed TZS 71,400 to the suppliers on 31 December. I was

surprised to see that I had spent TZS 480,000 on plumbing equipment, but it should last

me five years or so. Electricity bills received up to 30 September came to TZS 112,200;

but motor expenses were TZS 91,200, and general expenses TZS 134,900 for the year.

The insurance premium for the year to 31 March next was TZS 80,000. All these have

been paid by cheque but Miss Jesca has lost the rate demand. I expect the Local Authority

will send a reminder soon since I have not yet paid. I seem to remember that rates came

to TZS 18,000 for the year to 31 March next.

Miss Jesca sent out bills to my customers for work done, but some of them are very slow

to pay.

Altogether the charges made were TZS 2,986,300, but only TZS 2,561,300 had been

received by 31 December. Miss Jesca thinks that 10 per cent of the remaining bills are not

likely to be paid. Other customers for jobs too small to bill have paid TZS 341,800 in

cash for work done, but I only managed to bank TZS 260,000 of this money. I used TZS

40,000 of the difference to pay the family's grocery bills, and Miss Jesca used the rest for

general expenses, except for TZS 12,300 which was left over in a drawer in the office on

31 December.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely, Maringo

You are required to draw up an income statement for the year ending 31 December

2017, and a statement of financial position as at that date.

8. Read the passage below carefully then answer the questions that follow.

English Language seems to be a problem to both teachers and students in Tanzania

although it is an official language. It is taught as a subject in primary schools and is

used as the medium of instruction from secondary schools to higher education levels.

In recent years, the language has been a barrier in academic performance among many

students. It acts as an obstacle to some students toward learning new concepts

intended since they fail to understand what is taught in the classroom by using English

Language. As a result they finish a certain level of education without having the

required skills and competences.

Some measures should be taken in order to solve the existing problem. It is suggested

that Kiswahili should be used as a medium of instruction in all levels of education

because it is the National language and it is well understood by Tananians as

compared to English Language. It has been proven through various researches that,

people understand better when they learn in the language they know.

There are some prevailing wrong perceptions that, Kiswahili has limited vocabularies

and it is not self-sufficient when it comes to scientific and technological issues. This is

a very wrong perception since any language in the universe has the ability to borrow

and incorporate words from other languages. However, there is no language which is

self sufficient by itself.

Questions:

(a) Suggest the suitable title for the passage with about four to ten words.

(b) How could the problem of language of instruction be solved in Tanzania?

Explain one means.

(c) Why has English Language been a problem in Tanzania? Give one reason.

(d) In your opinion, which language between Kiswahili and English should be used

as a medium of instruction in all levels of education in Tanzania? Limit your

response to one point.
