Agriculture Paper 2, WASSCE (PC), 2017

Question 6

  1. Mention three forage legumes that could be found on a rangeland (3 marks)
  2. List five beekeeping tools (5 marks)
  3. Bekoi Farms Limited made the following transactions for the year ending 31/12/16
    Using the data provided, prepare a profit and loss account for Bekoi farms Limited. (10 marks)

Observation

This question understandably was the most unpopular. Though candidates could mention forage legumes found on rangeland, they could not give the required number of beekeeping tools. Again, preparing profit and loss account is still a major challenge to most candidates as they did not know the items to be placed on right or left side of the table as the case may be.
