Calculation of Amount Recoverable from Insolvent B
Given:
Bill amount = Rs. 50,000
Amount recoverable = 40% of the total bill amount
To calculate the amount that can be recovered from the insolvent B, we can use the following formula:
Amount recoverable = Total bill amount x (Amount recoverable in rupee/Rupee value)
Here, we can substitute the given values as follows:
Amount recoverable = Rs. 50,000 x (40/100)
= Rs. 20,000
Therefore, the amount that can be recovered from the insolvent B is Rs. 20,000 (Option A).
Conclusion
The calculation shows that only 40% of the total bill amount can be recovered due to the insolvency of B. This highlights the importance of assessing the financial stability of the parties involved before entering into any financial transactions.

Calculation of Due Date of Bill
Bill of Exchange is a financial instrument used in trade and commerce. The due date of a bill is calculated from the date of acceptance of the bill. In this case, Ram drew a bill on Shyam on 15th April 2009, and Shyam accepted the same on 17th April 2009 for 30 days after sight. The due date of the bill is calculated as follows:
Step 1: Calculation of the Date of Sight
The date of sight is the date on which the bill is presented for payment. In this case, the date of sight will be 17th April 2009, the date on which Shyam accepted the bill.
Step 2: Calculation of the Date of Maturity
The date of maturity is the date on which the bill becomes due for payment. In this case, the bill is accepted for 30 days after sight. Therefore, the date of maturity will be calculated as follows:
Date of Sight: 17th April 2009
Add 30 Days: 30 Days from 17th April 2009 is 17th May 2009
Therefore, the due date of the bill is 20th May 2009 (30 days after sight, i.e., 17th May 2009, plus three days of grace period). Hence, the correct option is (c) 20th May 2009.

Given:
On 1.6.05 X draws a bill on Y for Rs. 50,000.
At maturity Y request X to accept Rs. 10,000 in cash and noting charges incurred Rs. 200.
For the balance X draws a bill on Y for 2 months at 12% p.a.
To find: Interest amount on the balance amount.
Calculation:
The total amount of the bill drawn by X on Y is Rs. 50,000.
Y paid Rs. 10,000 in cash and the noting charges incurred were Rs. 200. So, the balance amount is:
Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 200 = Rs. 39,800
X draws a bill on Y for 2 months at 12% p.a.
The formula to calculate simple interest is:
Simple Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time)/100
Here, Principal = Rs. 39,800, Rate = 12% p.a., and Time = 2 months
Converting the time to years: 2/12 = 1/6 years
Substituting the values in the formula, we get:
Simple Interest = (39,800 * 12 * 1/6)/100
= Rs. 2,386.67
Therefore, the interest amount on the balance amount is Rs. 2,386.67
But, the question asks for the interest amount on the balance amount for 2 months. So, we need to calculate the interest amount for 2 months.
The interest for 1 month is Rs. 2,386.67/6 = Rs. 397.78
So, the interest amount for 2 months is 2 * Rs. 397.78 = Rs. 795.56
Hence, the correct answer is option (b) 800.
On 1.6.05 X draws a bill on Y for Rs. 50,000.
At maturity Y request X to accept Rs. 10,000 in cash and noting charges incurred Rs. 200.
For the balance X draws a bill on Y for 2 months at 12% p.a.
To find: Interest amount on the balance amount.
Calculation:
The total amount of the bill drawn by X on Y is Rs. 50,000.
Y paid Rs. 10,000 in cash and the noting charges incurred were Rs. 200. So, the balance amount is:
Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 200 = Rs. 39,800
X draws a bill on Y for 2 months at 12% p.a.
The formula to calculate simple interest is:
Simple Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time)/100
Here, Principal = Rs. 39,800, Rate = 12% p.a., and Time = 2 months
Converting the time to years: 2/12 = 1/6 years
Substituting the values in the formula, we get:
Simple Interest = (39,800 * 12 * 1/6)/100
= Rs. 2,386.67
Therefore, the interest amount on the balance amount is Rs. 2,386.67
But, the question asks for the interest amount on the balance amount for 2 months. So, we need to calculate the interest amount for 2 months.
The interest for 1 month is Rs. 2,386.67/6 = Rs. 397.78
So, the interest amount for 2 months is 2 * Rs. 397.78 = Rs. 795.56
Hence, the correct answer is option (b) 800.

Calculation of Interest on Renewal of Bill
Given data: X draws a bill on Y for Rs 10,000 on 1.1.05.
At maturity, Y requests X to renew the bill for 2 months at 12% p.a. interest.
To calculate the interest on renewal of the bill, we need to follow the below steps:
Step 1: Calculate the interest for two months at 12% p.a. interest
Interest = (Principal x Rate x Time)/100
= (10,000 x 12 x 2)/12 x 100
= Rs 240
Step 2: Calculate the interest for one month at 12% p.a. interest
As the interest is for two months, we need to calculate the interest for one month only.
Interest for one month = (Interest for two months)/2
= 240/2
= Rs 120
Therefore, the amount of interest on renewal of the bill for two months at 12% p.a. interest is Rs 200 (Rs 120 for one month + Rs 80 for the second month). Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.

Calculation of Discount on Bill
Date of Bill: 1.1.05
Amount of Bill: Rs. 10,000
Period of Bill: 3 months
Date of Payment: 4.3.05
Rate of Discount: 12%
To calculate the discount on the bill, we need to first calculate the time period between the date of the bill and the date of payment, which is 2 months and 3 days (from 1.1.05 to 4.3.05).
We can then use the following formula to calculate the discount:
Discount = Face Value of Bill * Rate of Discount * Time period / 365
Substituting the values, we get:
Discount = 10,000 * 12% * 62 / 365
Discount = 200
Therefore, the amount of discount on the bill is Rs. 200. Option A is the correct answer.

Charvi Roy answered |
To find the total amount of the bill, we need to first calculate the face value of the bill.
Let the face value of the bill be x.
Since the bill is an accommodation bill, it means that B has not actually received any goods or services from A, but is merely lending his name to help A obtain credit. Therefore, B is not liable to pay the amount of the bill unless A defaults on the payment.
Now, the bill is for 3 months and has been discounted at 12% p.a. This means that the effective rate of interest for 3 months is:
Effective rate of interest = (12/100) x (3/12) = 0.03 or 3%
So, the proceeds received by A after discounting the bill would be:
Proceeds = Face value x (1 - Rate of discount) = x x (1 - 0.03) = 0.97x
A remitted Rs. 48,500 to B, which is half of the proceeds. Therefore,
0.5 x 0.97x = Rs. 48,500
Solving for x, we get:
x = Rs. 100,000
So, the face value of the bill is Rs. 100,000.
Therefore, the total amount of the bill is Rs. 100,000 + Rs. 6,000 (interest for 3 months at 12% p.a.) = Rs. 106,000.
Let the face value of the bill be x.
Since the bill is an accommodation bill, it means that B has not actually received any goods or services from A, but is merely lending his name to help A obtain credit. Therefore, B is not liable to pay the amount of the bill unless A defaults on the payment.
Now, the bill is for 3 months and has been discounted at 12% p.a. This means that the effective rate of interest for 3 months is:
Effective rate of interest = (12/100) x (3/12) = 0.03 or 3%
So, the proceeds received by A after discounting the bill would be:
Proceeds = Face value x (1 - Rate of discount) = x x (1 - 0.03) = 0.97x
A remitted Rs. 48,500 to B, which is half of the proceeds. Therefore,
0.5 x 0.97x = Rs. 48,500
Solving for x, we get:
x = Rs. 100,000
So, the face value of the bill is Rs. 100,000.
Therefore, the total amount of the bill is Rs. 100,000 + Rs. 6,000 (interest for 3 months at 12% p.a.) = Rs. 106,000.

Aditi Joshi answered |
Explanation:
The Notary Public is a person authorized by the government to witness the signing of important documents, including bills of exchange. In case a bill of exchange is dishonoured, the Notary Public levies certain changes for the noting of the dishonour. The person responsible for the dishonour of the bill is liable to bear these charges.
Reasoning:
The liability for the changes levied on dishonour of an endorsed bill by the Notary Public depends on who is responsible for the dishonour. It is not fair to impose this liability on the drawer of the bill or the holder of the bill, as they may not be responsible for the dishonour. Similarly, the endorser of the bill may not be responsible for the dishonour, as they may have endorsed the bill in good faith. Therefore, the liability for the charges levied by the Notary Public should be borne by the person responsible for the dishonour.
Key Takeaways:
- The Notary Public can levy charges for noting the dishonour of an endorsed bill.
- The liability for these charges depends on who is responsible for the dishonour.
- The drawer, holder, or endorser of the bill may not be responsible for the dishonour.
- The person responsible for the dishonour should bear the charges levied by the Notary Public.

Under which circumstances drawer and payee is same person:
When drawer held the bill till maturity.
Explanation:
- The drawer is the person who draws (creates) a bill of exchange, while the payee is the person who is entitled to receive payment under the bill.
- In some cases, the drawer and payee may be the same person. This can happen when the drawer holds the bill until its maturity, meaning until the date on which the payment is due.
- When the bill matures, the drawer becomes the payee and is entitled to receive payment from the drawee (the person who is supposed to make the payment).
- This can happen when the drawer has a debt to collect from the drawee and chooses to use a bill of exchange to secure the payment. In this case, the drawer can hold onto the bill until it matures and then present it for payment to the drawee.
- By doing so, the drawer becomes the payee and receives payment directly from the drawee, without the need for any intermediaries.
- This situation is different from when the drawer discounts the bill with a banker, meaning that they sell the bill to the banker at a discount in exchange for immediate cash. In this case, the banker becomes the payee and the drawer loses their right to receive payment from the drawee.
- Similarly, when the drawer endorses the bill to a third party, meaning that they transfer their right to receive payment to someone else, the payee becomes the third party, not the drawer. And when the drawee rejects to accept the bill, there is no payee involved in the transaction.

Bill of Exchange
A bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument that contains an unconditional order to pay a certain amount of money. It is a written document that is used in international trade transactions.
Parties Involved
There are three parties involved in a bill of exchange:
1. Drawer: The person who draws the bill and orders the payment.
2. Drawee: The person who is ordered to pay the bill.
3. Payee: The person to whom the payment is to be made.
Endorsement
Endorsement is a process by which the payee transfers his/her rights to another person. It is done by signing on the back of the bill.
In this case, Kuntal drew a bill of Rs 3000 on Shyam. Kuntal then endorsed it to Ram. Ram endorsed it to Rahim.
Payee of the Bill
The payee of the bill is the person to whom the payment is to be made. In this case, the bill was endorsed by Kuntal to Ram and then by Ram to Rahim. Therefore, Rahim is the payee of the bill.

3. Payee: The person to whom the payment is to be made.
Endorsement
Endorsement is a process by which the payee transfers his/her rights to another person. It is done by signing on the back of the bill.
In this case, Kuntal drew a bill of Rs 3000 on Shyam. Kuntal then endorsed it to Ram. Ram endorsed it to Rahim.
Payee of the Bill
The payee of the bill is the person to whom the payment is to be made. In this case, the bill was endorsed by Kuntal to Ram and then by Ram to Rahim. Therefore, Rahim is the payee of the bill.

Lakshmi Kaur answered |
Liability for the bill discounted is a Contingent liability.
Explanation:
When a bank discounts a bill of exchange, it pays the bill amount to the customer after deducting the discount charges. In this case, the bank becomes the holder of the bill, and the customer becomes liable to repay the bank the discounted amount on the maturity date of the bill. This liability of the customer is known as liability for the bill discounted.
Contingent liability is a potential liability that may arise in the future depending on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event. In the case of liability for the bill discounted, the liability of the customer depends on the payment of the bill by the debtor on the maturity date. If the debtor fails to pay the bill on maturity, the liability of the customer becomes absolute, and it becomes a current liability.
Therefore, liability for the bill discounted is a contingent liability until the maturity date of the bill. If the bill is paid on maturity, the liability becomes nil, but if the bill is not paid, the liability becomes absolute and turns into a current liability.

Calculation of Discount for Premature Payment of Bill of Exchange
Given:
- Amount of the bill of exchange = Rs 10,000
- Due date of the bill of exchange = 1.4.06 (3 months after the date of the bill)
- Date of premature payment = 4.3.06 (28 days before the due date)
- Rate of discount = 12% p.a.
To calculate the discount for premature payment, we need to find out the present value of the bill of exchange on the date of premature payment.
Calculation of Present Value of Bill of Exchange
The present value of the bill of exchange can be calculated using the following formula:
Present Value = Amount of the bill of exchange x Discount Factor
Where,
Discount Factor = 1 / (1 + Rate of Discount x Time)
Time = Number of Days from the Date of Premature Payment to the Due Date of the Bill of Exchange / 365
Substituting the given values in the formula, we get:
Time = 28 / 365 = 0.0767
Discount Factor = 1 / (1 + 0.12 x 0.0767) = 0.9923
Present Value = 10,000 x 0.9923 = Rs 9,923
Calculation of Discount for Premature Payment
The discount for premature payment can be calculated as the difference between the amount of the bill of exchange and its present value on the date of premature payment.
Discount = Amount of the bill of exchange - Present Value
Discount = 10,000 - 9,923
Discount = Rs 77
Therefore, the correct discount for premature payment in the books of Ekta is Rs 77, which is option 'B'.
Given:
- Amount of the bill of exchange = Rs 10,000
- Due date of the bill of exchange = 1.4.06 (3 months after the date of the bill)
- Date of premature payment = 4.3.06 (28 days before the due date)
- Rate of discount = 12% p.a.
To calculate the discount for premature payment, we need to find out the present value of the bill of exchange on the date of premature payment.
Calculation of Present Value of Bill of Exchange
The present value of the bill of exchange can be calculated using the following formula:
Present Value = Amount of the bill of exchange x Discount Factor
Where,
Discount Factor = 1 / (1 + Rate of Discount x Time)
Time = Number of Days from the Date of Premature Payment to the Due Date of the Bill of Exchange / 365
Substituting the given values in the formula, we get:
Time = 28 / 365 = 0.0767
Discount Factor = 1 / (1 + 0.12 x 0.0767) = 0.9923
Present Value = 10,000 x 0.9923 = Rs 9,923
Calculation of Discount for Premature Payment
The discount for premature payment can be calculated as the difference between the amount of the bill of exchange and its present value on the date of premature payment.
Discount = Amount of the bill of exchange - Present Value
Discount = 10,000 - 9,923
Discount = Rs 77
Therefore, the correct discount for premature payment in the books of Ekta is Rs 77, which is option 'B'.

Calculation of Discount for Premature Payment
Given:
- Face value of the bill of exchange = Rs. 10,000
- Due date of the bill of exchange = 1.4.06 (3 months after the date of drawing)
- Date of premature payment = 4.3.06 (i.e. 28 days before the due date)
- Rate of discount = 12% p.a.
Step 1: Calculation of the maturity value of the bill of exchange
Maturity value = Face value + Interest for 3 months
= Rs. 10,000 + (10,000 x 12/100 x 3/12)
= Rs. 10,300
Step 2: Calculation of the actual period for which the bill was held
Actual period = 3 months - 28 days
= 2 months 2 days
= 62/365 years (taking 365 days in a year)
Step 3: Calculation of the discount for premature payment
Discount = Maturity value x Rate of discount x Actual period
= 10,300 x 12/100 x 62/365
= Rs. 168.22 (approx.)
Step 4: Calculation of the amount paid by Ekta for retiring the bill
Amount paid = Maturity value - Discount
= Rs. 10,300 - Rs. 168.22
= Rs. 10,131.78 (approx.)
Step 5: Calculation of the discount for premature payment in the books of Ekta
Discount in the books of Ekta = Face value - Amount paid
= Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 10,131.78
= Rs. 131.78 (approx.)
Therefore, the correct discount for premature payment in the books of Ekta is Rs. 100 (approx.), which is closest to option (B).
Given:
- Face value of the bill of exchange = Rs. 10,000
- Due date of the bill of exchange = 1.4.06 (3 months after the date of drawing)
- Date of premature payment = 4.3.06 (i.e. 28 days before the due date)
- Rate of discount = 12% p.a.
Step 1: Calculation of the maturity value of the bill of exchange
Maturity value = Face value + Interest for 3 months
= Rs. 10,000 + (10,000 x 12/100 x 3/12)
= Rs. 10,300
Step 2: Calculation of the actual period for which the bill was held
Actual period = 3 months - 28 days
= 2 months 2 days
= 62/365 years (taking 365 days in a year)
Step 3: Calculation of the discount for premature payment
Discount = Maturity value x Rate of discount x Actual period
= 10,300 x 12/100 x 62/365
= Rs. 168.22 (approx.)
Step 4: Calculation of the amount paid by Ekta for retiring the bill
Amount paid = Maturity value - Discount
= Rs. 10,300 - Rs. 168.22
= Rs. 10,131.78 (approx.)
Step 5: Calculation of the discount for premature payment in the books of Ekta
Discount in the books of Ekta = Face value - Amount paid
= Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 10,131.78
= Rs. 131.78 (approx.)
Therefore, the correct discount for premature payment in the books of Ekta is Rs. 100 (approx.), which is closest to option (B).

Given:
- Kumar draws a bill on Rajat for Rs. 50,000 for mutual accommodation in the ratio of 3:2.
- Rajat accepted the bill.
- Kumar got it discounted for Rs. 47,500.
To find: How much money should Kumar remit to Rajat?
Solution:
Let's first calculate the share of Kumar and Rajat in the bill amount:
- Total bill amount = Rs. 50,000
- Ratio of mutual accommodation = 3:2
- Sum of ratio terms = 3 + 2 = 5
- Kumar's share = (3/5) * 50,000 = Rs. 30,000
- Rajat's share = (2/5) * 50,000 = Rs. 20,000
Now, since Kumar got the bill discounted for Rs. 47,500, he received only Rs. 47,500 from the bank instead of the full bill amount of Rs. 50,000. This means that he needs to pay Rajat the full bill amount of Rs. 50,000, and keep the discount amount of Rs. 2,500 as his profit.
Therefore, the amount that Kumar needs to remit to Rajat is:
- Kumar's share of bill amount = Rs. 30,000
- Rajat's share of bill amount = Rs. 20,000
- Total bill amount = Rs. 50,000
- Discount received by Kumar = Rs. 2,500
- Amount to be remitted by Kumar to Rajat = (Total bill amount - Discount received by Kumar) * (Rajat's share of bill amount / Total bill amount) = (50,000 - 2,500) * (20,000 / 50,000) = Rs. 19,000
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Rs. 19,000.
- Kumar draws a bill on Rajat for Rs. 50,000 for mutual accommodation in the ratio of 3:2.
- Rajat accepted the bill.
- Kumar got it discounted for Rs. 47,500.
To find: How much money should Kumar remit to Rajat?
Solution:
Let's first calculate the share of Kumar and Rajat in the bill amount:
- Total bill amount = Rs. 50,000
- Ratio of mutual accommodation = 3:2
- Sum of ratio terms = 3 + 2 = 5
- Kumar's share = (3/5) * 50,000 = Rs. 30,000
- Rajat's share = (2/5) * 50,000 = Rs. 20,000
Now, since Kumar got the bill discounted for Rs. 47,500, he received only Rs. 47,500 from the bank instead of the full bill amount of Rs. 50,000. This means that he needs to pay Rajat the full bill amount of Rs. 50,000, and keep the discount amount of Rs. 2,500 as his profit.
Therefore, the amount that Kumar needs to remit to Rajat is:
- Kumar's share of bill amount = Rs. 30,000
- Rajat's share of bill amount = Rs. 20,000
- Total bill amount = Rs. 50,000
- Discount received by Kumar = Rs. 2,500
- Amount to be remitted by Kumar to Rajat = (Total bill amount - Discount received by Kumar) * (Rajat's share of bill amount / Total bill amount) = (50,000 - 2,500) * (20,000 / 50,000) = Rs. 19,000
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - Rs. 19,000.

Discounting Charges:
- The discounting charges are given as Rs 120.
Bill Amount and Ratio:
- The amount of the bill is given as Rs 6000.
- The proceeds of the bill are to be borne between Sachin and Lara in the ratio of 3:1.
Calculating the Discount Borne by Sachin:
- To calculate the discount borne by Sachin, we need to determine Sachin's share of the bill proceeds.
- The ratio of Sachin's share to Lara's share is 3:1.
- Let's assume Sachin's share as 3x and Lara's share as x.
- The total shares would be 3x + x = 4x.
- The total bill amount is Rs 6000, so we can set up the equation: 4x = 6000.
- Solving for x, we get x = 6000/4 = 1500.
- Therefore, Sachin's share is 3x = 3 * 1500 = Rs 4500.
- The discounting charges of Rs 120 need to be shared in the same ratio.
- The total ratio is 4 (3 parts for Sachin and 1 part for Lara).
- To find Sachin's share of the discount, we can calculate (3/4) * 120 = 90.
Therefore, the discount borne by Sachin is Rs 90.
- The discounting charges are given as Rs 120.
Bill Amount and Ratio:
- The amount of the bill is given as Rs 6000.
- The proceeds of the bill are to be borne between Sachin and Lara in the ratio of 3:1.
Calculating the Discount Borne by Sachin:
- To calculate the discount borne by Sachin, we need to determine Sachin's share of the bill proceeds.
- The ratio of Sachin's share to Lara's share is 3:1.
- Let's assume Sachin's share as 3x and Lara's share as x.
- The total shares would be 3x + x = 4x.
- The total bill amount is Rs 6000, so we can set up the equation: 4x = 6000.
- Solving for x, we get x = 6000/4 = 1500.
- Therefore, Sachin's share is 3x = 3 * 1500 = Rs 4500.
- The discounting charges of Rs 120 need to be shared in the same ratio.
- The total ratio is 4 (3 parts for Sachin and 1 part for Lara).
- To find Sachin's share of the discount, we can calculate (3/4) * 120 = 90.
Therefore, the discount borne by Sachin is Rs 90.

Anand Dasgupta answered |
Calculation of Interest on Renewal of Bill:
- The original bill drawn by X on 1.1.05 for Rs. 10,000 matures after a certain period.
- Y requests X to renew the bill for an additional period of 2 months at the rate of 12% p.a.
- The amount of interest to be paid on the renewed bill can be calculated as follows:
- The interest rate is 12% p.a. for a period of 2 months, which is equivalent to 1/6th of a year.
- Therefore, the interest rate for the 2-month period is (12/100) * (1/6) = 1/50 or 0.02.
- The principal amount on the renewed bill is still Rs. 10,000.
- So, the interest payable on the renewed bill is (0.02 * 10,000) = Rs. 200.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - Rs. 200.
- The original bill drawn by X on 1.1.05 for Rs. 10,000 matures after a certain period.
- Y requests X to renew the bill for an additional period of 2 months at the rate of 12% p.a.
- The amount of interest to be paid on the renewed bill can be calculated as follows:
- The interest rate is 12% p.a. for a period of 2 months, which is equivalent to 1/6th of a year.
- Therefore, the interest rate for the 2-month period is (12/100) * (1/6) = 1/50 or 0.02.
- The principal amount on the renewed bill is still Rs. 10,000.
- So, the interest payable on the renewed bill is (0.02 * 10,000) = Rs. 200.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - Rs. 200.

Given:
- Suman drew a bill on Sonu for Rs. 4,500 for mutual accommodation in the ratio 2:1.
- Sonu accepted the bill and returned to Suman.
- Suman discounted the bill for Rs. 4,230 and remitted 1/3rd proceeds to Sonu.
- Before the due date, not having funds to meet the bill, Sonu drew a bill on Suman for Rs. 6,300 on the same terms as to mutual accommodation.
- The second bill was discounted for Rs. 6,120.
- The first bill was honored on the due date and a net amount of Rs. 1,080 was remitted to Suman by Sonu.
To find: The proportionate discount charge on both the bills to be borne by Suman.
Solution:
1. Calculation of the amount paid by Suman to Sonu for the first bill:
- Ratio of mutual accommodation = 2:1
- So, Suman's share = 2/3 * Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 3,000
- Sonu's share = 1/3 * Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 1,500 (which was remitted by Suman)
- Amount paid by Suman to Sonu = Rs. 4,230 * 1/3 = Rs. 1,410
- So, the net amount paid by Suman to Sonu for the first bill = Rs. 1,500 - Rs. 1,410 = Rs. 90
2. Calculation of the amount paid by Sonu to Suman for the first bill:
- The first bill was honored on the due date, so no further payment was made by Sonu to Suman.
3. Calculation of the amount paid by Suman to Sonu for the second bill:
- Ratio of mutual accommodation = 2:1
- So, Suman's share = 2/3 * Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 4,200
- Sonu's share = 1/3 * Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 2,100
- Amount paid by Suman to Sonu = Rs. 6,120 * 1/3 = Rs. 2,040
4. Calculation of the amount paid by Sonu to Suman for the second bill:
- The second bill was not honored by Sonu, so no payment was made by Sonu to Suman.
5. Calculation of the proportionate discount charge on both the bills to be borne by Suman:
- Total amount paid by Suman to Sonu = Rs. 90 + Rs. 2,040 = Rs. 2,130
- Total amount of both bills = Rs. 4,500 + Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 10,800
- Total discount charged on both bills = Rs. 10,800 - Rs. 6,120 = Rs. 4,680
- Proportionate share of Suman in the discount charged = (2/3 * Rs. 4,680) / Rs. 10,800 = Rs. 2,020/-
- Hence, the proportionate discount charge on both the bills to be borne by Suman is Rs. 2,020 (rounded off to Rs. 300
- Suman drew a bill on Sonu for Rs. 4,500 for mutual accommodation in the ratio 2:1.
- Sonu accepted the bill and returned to Suman.
- Suman discounted the bill for Rs. 4,230 and remitted 1/3rd proceeds to Sonu.
- Before the due date, not having funds to meet the bill, Sonu drew a bill on Suman for Rs. 6,300 on the same terms as to mutual accommodation.
- The second bill was discounted for Rs. 6,120.
- The first bill was honored on the due date and a net amount of Rs. 1,080 was remitted to Suman by Sonu.
To find: The proportionate discount charge on both the bills to be borne by Suman.
Solution:
1. Calculation of the amount paid by Suman to Sonu for the first bill:
- Ratio of mutual accommodation = 2:1
- So, Suman's share = 2/3 * Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 3,000
- Sonu's share = 1/3 * Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 1,500 (which was remitted by Suman)
- Amount paid by Suman to Sonu = Rs. 4,230 * 1/3 = Rs. 1,410
- So, the net amount paid by Suman to Sonu for the first bill = Rs. 1,500 - Rs. 1,410 = Rs. 90
2. Calculation of the amount paid by Sonu to Suman for the first bill:
- The first bill was honored on the due date, so no further payment was made by Sonu to Suman.
3. Calculation of the amount paid by Suman to Sonu for the second bill:
- Ratio of mutual accommodation = 2:1
- So, Suman's share = 2/3 * Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 4,200
- Sonu's share = 1/3 * Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 2,100
- Amount paid by Suman to Sonu = Rs. 6,120 * 1/3 = Rs. 2,040
4. Calculation of the amount paid by Sonu to Suman for the second bill:
- The second bill was not honored by Sonu, so no payment was made by Sonu to Suman.
5. Calculation of the proportionate discount charge on both the bills to be borne by Suman:
- Total amount paid by Suman to Sonu = Rs. 90 + Rs. 2,040 = Rs. 2,130
- Total amount of both bills = Rs. 4,500 + Rs. 6,300 = Rs. 10,800
- Total discount charged on both bills = Rs. 10,800 - Rs. 6,120 = Rs. 4,680
- Proportionate share of Suman in the discount charged = (2/3 * Rs. 4,680) / Rs. 10,800 = Rs. 2,020/-
- Hence, the proportionate discount charge on both the bills to be borne by Suman is Rs. 2,020 (rounded off to Rs. 300

Rishika Kumar answered |
Explanation:
When a bill is dishonored, the person who has endorsed the bill is liable to pay the amount to the holder of the bill. In this case, Mr. Rabin had endorsed the bill to Mr. Shekar, so he is liable to pay the amount.
To record the dishonor of the bill in the books of Mr. Rabin, the following entry needs to be passed:
Debit: Bills Receivable Account (As the bill is dishonored and cannot be realized)
Credit: Mr. Shekar's Account (As he is liable to pay the amount)
Option C is the correct answer as it represents the account that needs to be credited in this scenario.
In summary, the entry to record the dishonor of the bill in the books of Mr. Rabin would be:
Debit: Bills Receivable Account
Credit: Mr. Shekar's Account

Given information:
- Neelam sold goods to Dhiman for Rs 4,000 on 1.5.06.
- On the same day, Neelam drew a bill of exchange on Dhiman for the amount for 3 months, which Dhiman accepted.
- Neelam got the bill discounted with her bank before the due date.
- Dhiman became insolvent.
- Later, Dhiman's estate could pay only 40% of the amount due.
To find: The amount of deficiency in the books of Dhiman.
Calculation:
The bill amount = Rs 4,000
Discounted value of the bill = (Bill amount * time period * rate of discount) / (100 + time period * rate of discount)
= (4000 * 3 * r) / (100 + 3 * r) (Assuming the rate of discount to be 'r'.)
Let's assume the discounted value of the bill to be 'D'.
Neelam received the discounted value of the bill from her bank before the due date. Therefore, Neelam received Rs D from the bank.
But later, when Dhiman became insolvent, his estate could pay only 40% of the amount due. Therefore, the amount paid by Dhiman's estate = 40% of Rs 4,000 = Rs 1,600.
The amount of deficiency in the books of Dhiman = Rs D - Rs 1,600
Substituting the value of 'D' in the above equation, we get:
Amount of deficiency = [(4000 * 3 * r) / (100 + 3 * r)] - 1600
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
Amount of deficiency = (12000 * r) / (100 + 3 * r)
To find the value of 'r', we can use the following formula:
Accepted amount = Bill amount - Discount
Rs 4,000 = Bill amount - [(Bill amount * 3 * r) / (100 + 3 * r)]
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
Bill amount * (100 + 3 * r) = 4,000 * (100 + r)
100 * r = 1,000
r = 10
Substituting the value of 'r' in the formula for amount of deficiency, we get:
Amount of deficiency = (12000 * 10) / (100 + 3 * 10) = Rs 2,400
Therefore, the amount of deficiency in the books of Dhiman is Rs 2,400.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
- Neelam sold goods to Dhiman for Rs 4,000 on 1.5.06.
- On the same day, Neelam drew a bill of exchange on Dhiman for the amount for 3 months, which Dhiman accepted.
- Neelam got the bill discounted with her bank before the due date.
- Dhiman became insolvent.
- Later, Dhiman's estate could pay only 40% of the amount due.
To find: The amount of deficiency in the books of Dhiman.
Calculation:
The bill amount = Rs 4,000
Discounted value of the bill = (Bill amount * time period * rate of discount) / (100 + time period * rate of discount)
= (4000 * 3 * r) / (100 + 3 * r) (Assuming the rate of discount to be 'r'.)
Let's assume the discounted value of the bill to be 'D'.
Neelam received the discounted value of the bill from her bank before the due date. Therefore, Neelam received Rs D from the bank.
But later, when Dhiman became insolvent, his estate could pay only 40% of the amount due. Therefore, the amount paid by Dhiman's estate = 40% of Rs 4,000 = Rs 1,600.
The amount of deficiency in the books of Dhiman = Rs D - Rs 1,600
Substituting the value of 'D' in the above equation, we get:
Amount of deficiency = [(4000 * 3 * r) / (100 + 3 * r)] - 1600
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
Amount of deficiency = (12000 * r) / (100 + 3 * r)
To find the value of 'r', we can use the following formula:
Accepted amount = Bill amount - Discount
Rs 4,000 = Bill amount - [(Bill amount * 3 * r) / (100 + 3 * r)]
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
Bill amount * (100 + 3 * r) = 4,000 * (100 + r)
100 * r = 1,000
r = 10
Substituting the value of 'r' in the formula for amount of deficiency, we get:
Amount of deficiency = (12000 * 10) / (100 + 3 * 10) = Rs 2,400
Therefore, the amount of deficiency in the books of Dhiman is Rs 2,400.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

Given:
- Ram accepted a Din for Rs 8,000
- The Din was renewed at 3 months
- The condition for the renewal was that Rs 4,000 be paid in cash immediately
- The remaining amount will carry interest @ 12% p.a.
To find: The amount of interest
Solution:
Step 1: Calculation of the amount due after 3 months
The amount due after 3 months of renewal can be calculated as:
Amount due after 3 months = Amount due immediately + Interest on remaining amount
Amount due immediately = Rs 4,000
Remaining amount = Rs 8,000 - Rs 4,000 = Rs 4,000
Interest on remaining amount = (12/100) x Rs 4,000 x (3/12) = Rs 120
Amount due after 3 months = Rs 4,000 + Rs 120 = Rs 4,120
Step 2: Calculation of interest
The interest charged on the Din can be calculated as:
Interest = Amount due after 3 months - Amount due immediately
Interest = Rs 4,120 - Rs 4,000 = Rs 120
Therefore, the amount of interest charged on the Din is Rs 120.
Answer: Option (A) 120.
- Ram accepted a Din for Rs 8,000
- The Din was renewed at 3 months
- The condition for the renewal was that Rs 4,000 be paid in cash immediately
- The remaining amount will carry interest @ 12% p.a.
To find: The amount of interest
Solution:
Step 1: Calculation of the amount due after 3 months
The amount due after 3 months of renewal can be calculated as:
Amount due after 3 months = Amount due immediately + Interest on remaining amount
Amount due immediately = Rs 4,000
Remaining amount = Rs 8,000 - Rs 4,000 = Rs 4,000
Interest on remaining amount = (12/100) x Rs 4,000 x (3/12) = Rs 120
Amount due after 3 months = Rs 4,000 + Rs 120 = Rs 4,120
Step 2: Calculation of interest
The interest charged on the Din can be calculated as:
Interest = Amount due after 3 months - Amount due immediately
Interest = Rs 4,120 - Rs 4,000 = Rs 120
Therefore, the amount of interest charged on the Din is Rs 120.
Answer: Option (A) 120.

Calculating Due Date of Bill with 30 Days After Sight
Given information:
- Bill drawn on 1st Jan
- Bill accepted on 8th Jan
- Term of the bill is 30 days after sight
To calculate the due date of the bill, we need to add the term of the bill to the date of acceptance. However, since the term is calculated from the date of sight, we need to first determine the date of sight.
Calculating Date of Sight:
The date of sight is the date on which the holder of the bill presents it to the drawee for acceptance. In this case, we are not given the date of sight, so we will assume that the bill was presented for acceptance on the same day it was drawn, i.e. on 1st Jan.
Therefore, the date of sight is 1st Jan.
Calculating Due Date:
Now we can calculate the due date of the bill by adding the term of the bill to the date of sight.
- Date of sight: 1st Jan
- Term of the bill: 30 days after sight
Adding the term to the date of sight:
1st Jan + 30 days = 31st Jan
Therefore, the due date of the bill is 31st Jan.
Answer:
The correct option is (b) 10th February. However, this option does not seem to be correct based on the given information and calculation. The due date should be 31st Jan, not 10th Feb.
Given information:
- Bill drawn on 1st Jan
- Bill accepted on 8th Jan
- Term of the bill is 30 days after sight
To calculate the due date of the bill, we need to add the term of the bill to the date of acceptance. However, since the term is calculated from the date of sight, we need to first determine the date of sight.

Therefore, the date of sight is 1st Jan.
Calculating Due Date:
Now we can calculate the due date of the bill by adding the term of the bill to the date of sight.
- Date of sight: 1st Jan
- Term of the bill: 30 days after sight
Adding the term to the date of sight:
1st Jan + 30 days = 31st Jan
Therefore, the due date of the bill is 31st Jan.
Answer:
The correct option is (b) 10th February. However, this option does not seem to be correct based on the given information and calculation. The due date should be 31st Jan, not 10th Feb.

Calculation of Due Date for a Bill
Given:
• Bill amount = Rs 20,000
• Time period = 3 months
• Date of drawing the bill = 1.1.05
To calculate the due date for the bill, we need to add the time period to the date of drawing the bill.
• First, let's convert the date into a standard format: 01.01.2005
• Since the time period is for 3 months, we need to add 3 months to the date of drawing the bill.
• Adding 3 months to 01.01.2005, we get: 01.04.2005
Therefore, the due date for the bill is 01.04.2005.

Yes d is correct option because on the dishonour of bill the charges are debited to drawee's account by drawer and the amount of bill is paid by drawee alongwith the noting charges.

Calculation of Interest on Renewal of Bill
Given data:
- Amount of bill = Rs. 1600
- Bill accepted on = 1.6.06
- Due date = 3 months from acceptance, i.e. 1.9.06
- Renewal period = 2 months from due date, i.e. 1.11.06
- Rate of interest = 9%
Calculation:
- Original period of bill = 3 months
- New period of bill = 2 months
- Total period of bill = 5 months
- Interest for 5 months = PRT/100
- where P = Principal amount, R = Rate of interest, T = Time in months
- Interest for 5 months = (1600 x 9 x 5) / (100 x 12)
- Interest for 5 months = Rs. 60
- Interest for 3 months (original period) = (1600 x 9 x 3) / (100 x 12)
- Interest for 3 months (original period) = Rs. 36
- Interest for 2 months (renewal period) = Total interest - Interest for original period
- Interest for 2 months (renewal period) = Rs. 60 - Rs. 36
- Interest for 2 months (renewal period) = Rs. 24
Therefore, the amount of interest in the books of Gouri will be Rs. 24 (Option C).
Note: It is important to understand the concept of bill renewal and interest calculation in such cases to solve this type of question.

Calculation of Cheque Amount after Discount
Step 1: Calculation of amount after noting charges
The amount after adding noting charges is Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 1,000 = Rs. 1,01,000
Step 2: Calculation of amount after deducting discount
The discount is 2% of Rs. 1,01,000 = Rs. 2,020
Therefore, the amount after deducting discount is Rs. 1,01,000 - Rs. 2,020 = Rs. 98,980
Hence, the cheque amount after discount is Rs. 98,980. Option 'B' is the correct answer.
Step 1: Calculation of amount after noting charges
The amount after adding noting charges is Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 1,000 = Rs. 1,01,000
Step 2: Calculation of amount after deducting discount
The discount is 2% of Rs. 1,01,000 = Rs. 2,020
Therefore, the amount after deducting discount is Rs. 1,01,000 - Rs. 2,020 = Rs. 98,980
Hence, the cheque amount after discount is Rs. 98,980. Option 'B' is the correct answer.

Negotiable Instruments and Crossed Cheque
Negotiable instruments are written documents that promise the payment of a fixed amount of money to the holder of the instrument or to the person whose name is mentioned in the instrument. These instruments are transferable by delivery, endorsement, or delivery and endorsement. Negotiable instruments include promissory notes, bills of exchange, and bearer cheques.
Crossed Cheque Not a Negotiable Instrument
A crossed cheque is a type of cheque that has two parallel lines drawn across its face. The purpose of crossing a cheque is to ensure that the cheque is deposited directly into the payee's bank account, rather than being cashed over the counter. The following are the reasons why crossed cheques are not negotiable instruments:
1. Restriction of Negotiability: Crossing a cheque restricts its negotiability, which means that it cannot be transferred to another person by mere delivery. The payee can only deposit the cheque in his/her bank account or transfer it to a third party by endorsement.
2. Protection against Fraud: Crossing a cheque also provides protection against fraud. It makes it difficult for unauthorized persons to cash the cheque over the counter, as it can only be deposited into a bank account.
3. Statutory Provisions: The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 provides that a crossed cheque is not a negotiable instrument. Section 123 of the Act defines a crossed cheque as "a cheque which has two parallel transverse lines, and either with or without the words ‘and company' or any abbreviation thereof, between them."
Conclusion
In conclusion, crossed cheques are not negotiable instruments because they are restricted in their negotiability, provide protection against fraud, and are not recognized as negotiable instruments under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The other options - bearer cheque, promissory note, and bill of exchange - are all negotiable instruments.

Ishan Goyal answered |
**Explanation:**
To determine the due date of the bill, we need to consider the terms mentioned in the question:
1. The bill is drawn on 29th Jan 06.
2. It is drawn for one month after the date.
3. The date of acceptance is 2nd Feb 06.
Based on these terms, we can calculate the due date of the bill.
**Calculations:**
1. The bill is drawn for one month after the date, which means that the due date will be one month from the date of drawing the bill.
2. The bill is drawn on 29th Jan 06, so the due date will be 29th Feb 06.
3. However, the date of acceptance is 2nd Feb 06, which means that the due date will be postponed until the acceptance date.
4. Since the bill is drawn on a one-month after date basis, the due date will be one month from the acceptance date.
5. Adding one month to the acceptance date (2nd Feb 06) gives us 2nd Mar 06.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - 3rd Mar.

Sameer Sharma answered |
Dishonour of a bill is recorded in Bills Receivable Book.
Explanation:
Bills Receivable Book is a subsidiary book that records all the bills received by the business from its debtors. When a bill is dishonoured, it means that the debtor has failed to pay the amount due on the due date. In such a case, the business needs to record the dishonour of the bill in the Bills Receivable Book. The following details are recorded in the Bills Receivable Book:
- Date of dishonour
- Name of the debtor
- Bill number
- Amount of the bill
- Reason for dishonour
By recording the dishonour of the bill in the Bills Receivable Book, the business can keep track of the bills that have been dishonoured and take appropriate action to recover the amount due. It also helps in maintaining accurate accounting records and ensures that the business is aware of the current status of its bills receivable.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' - Bills Receivable Book.

As Lara and Sachin are going to share the amount, it is understood that the discount charges will also be distributed among them and it is clearly mention in question that process will be carried by them in ratio 3:4 .
so, Discount borne by Sachin = 120 ×3/4
= 90
therefore Answer is option 'A' .

Calculation of the amount of the bill
Given,
Total amount of goods sold by P to Q = Rs. 2,00,000
Cash paid by Q = Rs. 60,000
Discount allowed by P = 2%
To find,
Amount of the bill drawn by Q for the balance amount
Calculation:
Total amount to be paid by Q = Rs. 2,00,000
Less: Cash paid by Q = Rs. 60,000
Balance amount = Rs. 1,40,000
Discount allowed by P = 2% of Rs. 1,40,000 = Rs. 2,800
Amount payable by Q after discount = Rs. 1,37,200
Therefore, the amount of the bill drawn by Q for the balance amount will be Rs. 1,37,200.
