1. The Accounting Equation | 会计等式的应用
The accounting equation—Assets = Liabilities + Capital—is the foundation of all double-entry bookkeeping. Past paper questions often ask you to calculate missing figures after a series of transactions. For example: ‘A business has assets of £10,000, liabilities of £4,000. What is the capital?’ The answer is £6,000 (10,000 – 4,000).
会计等式——资产 = 负债 + 资本——是一切复式记账的基础。真题中常给出若干交易，要求计算缺失的金额。例如：“某企业资产 10,000 英镑，负债 4,000 英镑，资本是多少？”答案是 6,000 英镑（10,000 – 4,000）。
In more complex tasks, you may need to adjust capital after profit, drawings, or the injection of new capital. A typical past question: ‘Start capital £5,000, net profit £2,000, drawings £500, end capital = ?’ The solution: £5,000 + £2,000 – £500 = £6,500.
更复杂的题目中，需要在净利润、提款或新资本注入后调整资本。一道典型真题：“期初资本 5,000 英镑，净利润 2,000 英镑，提款 500 英镑，期末资本=？”答案为 5,000 + 2,000 – 500 = 6,500 英镑。
2. Double-Entry Bookkeeping | 复式记账法
Double-entry means every transaction affects at least two accounts—one debit and one credit. Common past paper items require you to complete ledger accounts. For example: ‘Bought goods for resale by cheque £300.’ The entries: Debit Purchases £300, Credit Bank £300. Remember DEAD CLIC (Debit Expenses, Assets, Drawings; Credit Liabilities, Income, Capital).
复式记账意味着每一笔交易至少影响两个账户——一个借方，一个贷方。常见真题要求补全分类账。例如：“通过支票购买转售商品 300 英镑。”分录：借方 购货 300 英镑，贷方 银行存款 300 英镑。记住口诀 DEAD CLIC（借方：费用、资产、提款；贷方：负债、收益、资本）。
Exam questions often present a list of transactions and a partially completed cash book. You need to identify whether each entry is a receipt or payment and post to the correct side. Make sure you understand contra entries and bank charges.
考卷常给出一系列交易和部分完成的现金簿，要求辨别每笔是收入还是支出，并记入正确方向。务必理解对冲分录（如从银行取现）和银行手续费的处理。
3. Trial Balance Preparation | 试算平衡表编制
A trial balance lists all ledger balances at a specific date to check the arithmetical accuracy of double-entry. If total debits equal total credits, the trial balance ‘balances’. Past papers often give a list of accounts with their balances and ask you to prepare the trial balance or spot errors.
试算平衡表在特定日期列示所有分类账余额，用以检查复式记账的算术正确性。若借方总额等于贷方总额，则试算平衡。真题常提供若干账户余额，要求编制试算平衡表或找出错误。
Typical mistake: placing rent received in the debit column. Rent received is income, so it should be credit. If a trial balance does not balance, common errors to check: omission of a balance, transposition errors (e.g., 540 written as 450), or posting to the wrong side.
常见错误：将租金收入放入借方栏。租金收入属于收益，应记贷方。若试算表不平衡，应检查的常见错误：漏记账户余额、数字颠倒（如 540 写成 450）、或记错方向。
Example: Rent Received £200, Sales £5,000, Purchases £3,000, Capital £6,000, Drawings £400, Equipment £8,000, Bank Overdraft £1,200. Prepare a trial balance.
示例：租金收入 200 英镑，销售 5,000 英镑，购货 3,000 英镑，资本 6,000 英镑，提款 400 英镑，设备 8,000 英镑，银行透支 1,200 英镑。编制试算平衡表。
4. Profit and Loss (Income Statement) | 利润表（损益表）
The income statement shows the profit or loss over a period. Year 8 questions usually give revenue, cost of sales, and expenses. Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold. Net profit = Gross profit – Expenses. Past papers often include a list of items to classify correctly.
利润表反映一段时期的盈利或亏损。八年级题目通常给收入、销售成本和费用。毛利 = 销售收入 – 销售成本。净利润 = 毛利 – 费用。真题常给出一系列项目，要求正确分类。
Watch for closing inventory: it is deducted from purchases in the cost of goods sold calculation. If the question states ‘Inventory at start £500, purchases £2,000, inventory at end £600’, then Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchases – Closing inventory = £500 + £2,000 – £600 = £1,900.
留意期末存货：计算销售成本时，从购货中扣除期末存货。若题目给出“期初存货 500 英镑，购货 2,000 英镑，期末存货 600 英镑”，则销售成本 = 期初存货 + 购货 – 期末存货 = 500 + 2,000 – 600 = 1,900 英镑。
| Typical Income Statement Items | 常见利润表项目 |
| Sales | 销售收入 |
| Less: Cost of goods sold | 减：销售成本 |
| = Gross profit | = 毛利 |
| Less: Expenses (e.g. rent, wages, electricity) | 减：费用（如租金、工资、电费） |
| = Net profit | = 净利润 |
5. Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) | 资产负债表
The balance sheet shows assets, liabilities, and capital at a point in time. It must satisfy Assets = Liabilities + Capital. Year 8 past papers often ask you to prepare a simple balance sheet from a trial balance and some adjustments.
资产负债表反映某一时点的资产、负债和资本。必须满足资产 = 负债 + 资本。八年级真题常要求根据试算平衡表和一些调整编制简易资产负债表。
Be careful with classifications: current assets (cash, inventory, receivables) vs. non‑current assets (equipment, vehicles); current liabilities (payables, bank overdraft) vs. long‑term liabilities. The capital section typically shows opening capital plus net profit minus drawings.
注意分类：流动资产（现金、存货、应收账款）与非流动资产（设备、车辆）；流动负债（应付账款、银行透支）与长期负债。资本部分通常列示期初资本加净利润减提款。
Balance Sheet (extract) as at 31 Dec: Equipment £2,500, Inventory £700, Bank £300, Trade payables £500, Capital £3,000. Total assets = £2,500 + £700 + £300 = £3,500. Total liabilities & capital = £500 + £3,000 = £3,500. The balance sheet balances!
资产负债表（节选）12 月 31 日：设备 2,500 英镑，存货 700 英镑，银行存款 300 英镑，应付账款 500 英镑，资本 3,000 英镑。总资产 = 2,500 + 700 + 300 = 3,500 英镑；总负债及资本 = 500 + 3,000 = 3,500 英镑。资产负债表平衡！
6. Depreciation | 折旧
Depreciation allocates the cost of a non‑current asset over its useful life. Common method in Year 8 is straight‑line: (Cost – Residual value) ÷ Useful life. Past questions: ‘Equipment cost £4,000, residual £400, 4 years. Find annual depreciation.’ Answer: (£4,000 – £400) ÷ 4 = £900.
折旧将非流动资产的成本在其使用寿命内分摊。八年级常用直线法：（成本 – 残值）÷ 使用年限。真题：“设备成本 4,000 英镑，残值 400 英镑，4 年。求每年折旧额。”答案：(4,000 – 400) ÷ 4 = 900 英镑。
You might also need to show the accumulated depreciation on the balance sheet and the depreciation expense in the income statement. Remember: debit depreciation expense, credit accumulated depreciation (a contra‑asset account).
还可能在资产负债表上体现累计折旧，在利润表中体现折旧费用。记住：借记折旧费用，贷记累计折旧（资产抵减账户）。
7. Bad Debts and Provision for Doubtful Debts | 坏账与坏账准备
Bad debts are receivables that are unlikely to be collected. When writing off a bad debt, debit Bad debts expense, credit Trade receivables. Past papers often ask to adjust for a bad debt and create a provision for doubtful debts (usually a percentage of remaining receivables).
坏账是指预计无法收回的应收账款。注销坏账时，借记坏账费用，贷记应收账款。真题常要求注销一笔坏账并计提坏账准备（通常按剩余应收账款的一定比例）。
For example: ‘Trade receivables balance £2,000. A bad debt of £200 is to be written off. Then a provision of 5% on the remaining receivables is required.’ Remaining receivables £1,800. Provision = 5% × £1,800 = £90. The expense in Income Statement = £200 + £90 = £290. On the Balance Sheet, trade receivables at £1,800 less provision £90 = £1,710.
例如：“应收账款余额 2,000 英镑，需注销 200 英镑坏账，再按剩余应收账款计提 5% 准备。”剩余应收账款 1,800 英镑，准备 = 5% × 1
