Given information:
- Opening balance of debtors = Rs. 35,000
- Cash received from debtors = Rs. 30,000
- Cash sales = Rs. 20,000 (which is 20% of total sales)
- B/R received for Rs. 40,000
- Discount allowed is 1% of cash collection
To find: Closing debtors
Calculation:
1. Calculation of total sales:
Cash sales = 20% of total sales
Therefore, total sales = (Cash sales/20%) x 100
Total sales = (20,000/20%) x 100 = Rs. 1,00,000
2. Calculation of total cash collected:
Cash received from debtors = Rs. 30,000
B/R received = Rs. 40,000
Total cash collected = Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 70,000
3. Calculation of discount allowed:
Discount allowed = 1% of cash collection
Discount allowed = 1% of Rs. 70,000 = Rs. 700
4. Calculation of total debtors:
Total debtors = Opening balance of debtors + Total sales - Cash received from debtors - Discount allowed
Total debtors = Rs. 35,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 700
Total debtors = Rs. 44,700
Therefore, the closing debtors are Rs. 44,700 (option B).
- Opening balance of debtors = Rs. 35,000
- Cash received from debtors = Rs. 30,000
- Cash sales = Rs. 20,000 (which is 20% of total sales)
- B/R received for Rs. 40,000
- Discount allowed is 1% of cash collection
To find: Closing debtors
Calculation:
1. Calculation of total sales:
Cash sales = 20% of total sales
Therefore, total sales = (Cash sales/20%) x 100
Total sales = (20,000/20%) x 100 = Rs. 1,00,000
2. Calculation of total cash collected:
Cash received from debtors = Rs. 30,000
B/R received = Rs. 40,000
Total cash collected = Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 70,000
3. Calculation of discount allowed:
Discount allowed = 1% of cash collection
Discount allowed = 1% of Rs. 70,000 = Rs. 700
4. Calculation of total debtors:
Total debtors = Opening balance of debtors + Total sales - Cash received from debtors - Discount allowed
Total debtors = Rs. 35,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 700
Total debtors = Rs. 44,700
Therefore, the closing debtors are Rs. 44,700 (option B).

Jayant Mishra answered |
To calculate the gross profit, we use the formula:
Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Given:
- Sales Revenue = Rs. 4,00,000
- Cost of Goods Sold = Rs. 3,10,000
Calculation: Gross Profit = 4,00,000 − 3,10,000 = 90,000
Therefore, the correct answer is: B: Rs. 90,000.

Poonam Reddy answered |
Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases + direct expenses - Closing stock
= 20000 + 85800 + 2300 - 18000
= 90100
Gross profit = Revenue from sales - COGS
= 140700 - 90100 = ₹50600

Srsps answered |
- Prepayment of Insurance Premium: When a business pays for an insurance premium in advance, it represents a payment for services that will be received in the future. This creates a prepaid expense.
- Balance Sheet: On the balance sheet, prepaid insurance is classified as a current asset because it represents a future benefit (insurance coverage) that the business has already paid for.
- Insurance Account: In the insurance account, the prepayment will appear as a debit balance because it reflects an expense that has been incurred in advance.
Thus, the prepayment of an insurance premium will be shown as an asset (prepaid insurance) in the balance sheet and as a debit balance in the insurance account.

Calculation of Gross Profit Margin on Sales
Opening Stock = Rs. 69,500
Closing Stock = Rs. 83,500
Sales less Return = Rs. 1,60,000
Purchases = Rs. 1,10,000
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
COGS = Rs. 69,500 + Rs. 1,10,000 - Rs. 83,500
COGS = Rs. 96,000
Calculation of Gross Profit
Gross Profit = Sales less Return - COGS
Gross Profit = Rs. 1,60,000 - Rs. 96,000
Gross Profit = Rs. 64,000
Calculation of Gross Profit Margin on Sales
Gross Profit Margin on Sales = (Gross Profit ÷ Sales less Return) × 100
Gross Profit Margin on Sales = (Rs. 64,000 ÷ Rs. 1,60,000) × 100
Gross Profit Margin on Sales = 40%
Therefore, the Gross Profit Margin on Sales is 40%.
Opening Stock = Rs. 69,500
Closing Stock = Rs. 83,500
Sales less Return = Rs. 1,60,000
Purchases = Rs. 1,10,000
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
COGS = Rs. 69,500 + Rs. 1,10,000 - Rs. 83,500
COGS = Rs. 96,000
Calculation of Gross Profit
Gross Profit = Sales less Return - COGS
Gross Profit = Rs. 1,60,000 - Rs. 96,000
Gross Profit = Rs. 64,000
Calculation of Gross Profit Margin on Sales
Gross Profit Margin on Sales = (Gross Profit ÷ Sales less Return) × 100
Gross Profit Margin on Sales = (Rs. 64,000 ÷ Rs. 1,60,000) × 100
Gross Profit Margin on Sales = 40%
Therefore, the Gross Profit Margin on Sales is 40%.

Poonam Reddy answered |
The correct option is B.
Gross profit = revenue sales - Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Direct expenses - Closing Stock
= 25,000 + 1,30,000 + 5,000 - 15,000 = ₹1,45,000
Gross Profit = 1,90,000 - 1,45,000 = ₹45,000
Gross profit = revenue sales - Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Direct expenses - Closing Stock
= 25,000 + 1,30,000 + 5,000 - 15,000 = ₹1,45,000
Gross Profit = 1,90,000 - 1,45,000 = ₹45,000

This can be represented as:
Let us assume the Cost Price is Rs.100
Profit Margin on Cost is @25% i.e. Rs.25
There fore the selling Price will be = Cost + Profit = SP
= Rs.100 + Rs.25 = Rs.125
If the Sales are Rs.2000
the cost of goods sold will be Rs.2000/125 * 100
Cost of good sole = Rs.1600.

Janhavi Basu answered |
Calculation of Gross Profit
Given:
Rate of gross profit = 20%
Cost of goods = Rs. 1,20,000
Formula:
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit Rate = (Gross Profit / Sales) x 100
Calculation:
Let the sales be x
Gross Profit Rate = 20%
Therefore, (Gross Profit / x) x 100 = 20%
Gross Profit = (20/100) x x
Gross Profit = 0.2x
Cost of goods sold = Rs. 1,20,000
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
0.2x = x - 1,20,000
0.2x - x = -1,20,000
-0.8x = -1,20,000
x = -1,20,000 / -0.8
x = Rs. 1,50,000
Gross Profit = 0.2x
= 0.2 x 1,50,000
= Rs. 30,000
Answer:
Therefore, the gross profit is Rs. 30,000 (Option B).

Puja Singh answered |
Given data:
Sundry debtors = Rs. 25,000
Bad debts = Rs. 3,000
Doubtful debts provision = 2%
Discount provision = 1%
To find: Net debtors to be shown in the balance sheet
Calculation:
1. Calculation of provision for doubtful debts:
Provision for doubtful debts = Sundry debtors × Doubtful debts provision
= 25,000 × 2/100
= Rs. 500
2. Calculation of provision for discount:
Provision for discount = Sundry debtors × Discount provision
= 25,000 × 1/100
= Rs. 250
3. Calculation of net debtors:
Net debtors = Sundry debtors - Bad debts - Provision for doubtful debts - Provision for discount
= 25,000 - 3,000 - 500 - 250
= Rs. 21,250
Therefore, the amount of net debtors to be shown in the balance sheet is Rs. 21,250.
However, the question asks for the nearest answer, which is option 'D' Rs. 21,344. This may be due to rounding off of the provisions.

Calculation of Rent Payable in Profit and Loss Account:
Rent paid on 1 October, 2004 for the year to 30 September, 2005 was Rs. 1,200
Rent paid on 1 October, 2005 for the year to 30 September, 2006 was Rs. 1,600
Rent for the year to 30 September, 2005 = Rs. 1,200
Rent for the year to 30 September, 2006 = Rs. 1,600
Total rent for 15 months (1 October, 2004 to 31 December, 2005) = Rs. 1,500 ((1,200/12)*15)
Therefore, the rent payable in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December, 2005 would be Rs. 1,300 (1,500 - 200).
Explanation:
Rent paid in advance is a prepaid expense, which means it is an expense that has been paid in advance and will be recognized as an expense in the future period(s) to which it relates. In this case, the rent paid on 1 October, 2004, relates to the year ending 30 September, 2005. Similarly, the rent paid on 1 October, 2005, relates to the year ending 30 September, 2006.
As per the accrual accounting principle, expenses should be recognized in the period to which they relate, regardless of when they are paid. Therefore, we need to adjust the rent paid in advance to reflect the portion of the rent that relates to the current period (i.e., the year ended 31 December, 2005).
To calculate the rent payable in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December, 2005, we need to subtract the portion of the rent paid in advance that relates to the period before 1 January, 2005 (i.e., the first three months of the year ending 30 September, 2005). This portion of the rent has already been recognized as an expense in the previous accounting period (i.e., the year ended 31 December, 2004).
Therefore, the rent payable in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December, 2005 would be Rs. 1,300 (1,500 - 200).
Rent paid on 1 October, 2004 for the year to 30 September, 2005 was Rs. 1,200
Rent paid on 1 October, 2005 for the year to 30 September, 2006 was Rs. 1,600
Rent for the year to 30 September, 2005 = Rs. 1,200
Rent for the year to 30 September, 2006 = Rs. 1,600
Total rent for 15 months (1 October, 2004 to 31 December, 2005) = Rs. 1,500 ((1,200/12)*15)
Therefore, the rent payable in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December, 2005 would be Rs. 1,300 (1,500 - 200).

Pranav Gupta answered |
Explanation:
Provision for doubtful debts is a provision that a company creates to cover potential losses from customers who may not pay their debts. It is an estimated amount that a company sets aside to cover the possibility of bad debts. If the provision for doubtful debts is decreased, it means that the company is expecting fewer bad debts, as a result, it will have a positive impact on the company's financial statements. Let's see how:
Impact on Liabilities:
• Decreasing the provision for doubtful debts will not have any impact on the liabilities of the company.
Impact on Working Capital:
• Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. If the provision for doubtful debts is decreased, it means that the current assets of the company will increase, which will have a positive impact on the working capital.
Impact on Net Profit:
• Decreasing the provision for doubtful debts will have a positive impact on the net profit of the company. As the provision is decreased, it means that the estimated amount of bad debts is also decreased, which will result in higher net profit.
Conclusion:
• In conclusion, a decrease in the provision for doubtful debts will have a positive impact on the company's financial statements. It will increase the current assets, improve the working capital, and increase the net profit.
Provision for doubtful debts is a provision that a company creates to cover potential losses from customers who may not pay their debts. It is an estimated amount that a company sets aside to cover the possibility of bad debts. If the provision for doubtful debts is decreased, it means that the company is expecting fewer bad debts, as a result, it will have a positive impact on the company's financial statements. Let's see how:
Impact on Liabilities:
• Decreasing the provision for doubtful debts will not have any impact on the liabilities of the company.
Impact on Working Capital:
• Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. If the provision for doubtful debts is decreased, it means that the current assets of the company will increase, which will have a positive impact on the working capital.
Impact on Net Profit:
• Decreasing the provision for doubtful debts will have a positive impact on the net profit of the company. As the provision is decreased, it means that the estimated amount of bad debts is also decreased, which will result in higher net profit.
Conclusion:
• In conclusion, a decrease in the provision for doubtful debts will have a positive impact on the company's financial statements. It will increase the current assets, improve the working capital, and increase the net profit.

Explanation:
As a sole trader, the capital represents the owner's investment in the business. It is the amount of money or assets that the owner has put into the business. The capital can increase or decrease depending on various transactions that occur within the business.
The correct answer is option 'D' because wages being paid in cash would reduce the owner's capital. Here's why:
1. Definition of wages: Wages are the payments made to employees for their work or services rendered to the business.
2. Payment of wages: When the owner pays wages in cash to the employees, it reduces the amount of cash that the owner has in the business.
3. Effect on capital: The reduction in cash affects the owner's capital since the capital represents the owner's investment in the business. If the owner pays wages in cash, the capital reduces as a result.
4. Example: Suppose the owner invested $10,000 in the business, and after paying wages in cash, the remaining cash in the business is $8,000. The owner's capital would reduce from $10,000 to $8,000 as a result of paying wages in cash.
In conclusion, paying wages in cash reduces the owner's capital, while other transactions such as paying creditors by cheque, purchasing raw materials or fixed assets on credit would not necessarily affect the owner's capital.

Given:
Capital = Rs. 50,000
Loan = Rs. 5,000
Profit = Rs. 10,000
Drawings = Rs. 9,000
To find: Closing Capital
Calculation:
Starting Capital = Capital + Loan
Starting Capital = Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 5,000
Starting Capital = Rs. 55,000
Net Profit = Profit - Drawings
Net Profit = Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 9,000
Net Profit = Rs. 1,000
Closing Capital = Starting Capital + Net Profit
Closing Capital = Rs. 55,000 + Rs. 1,000
Closing Capital = Rs. 51,000
Therefore, the amount of closing capital is Rs. 51,000 (Option B).

Calculation of Salary Debited to Profit and Loss A/c for the Year Ending 31.03.2013
Given Information:
Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2012 = Rs. 25,000
Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2013 = Rs. 10,000
Prepaid Salary on 31.03.2012 = Rs. 10,000
Salary paid in cash during the year = Rs. 3,00,000
Step 1: Calculate the total salary expense for the year
Total salary expense = Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2012 + Salary paid in cash during the year - Prepaid salary on 31.03.2012 - Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2013
= Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 3,00,000 - Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 10,000
= Rs. 2,95,000
Step 2: Debit the total salary expense to Profit and Loss A/c
Salary debited to Profit and Loss A/c = Total salary expense
= Rs. 2,95,000
Therefore, the correct option is B) Rs. 2,95,000.
Given Information:
Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2012 = Rs. 25,000
Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2013 = Rs. 10,000
Prepaid Salary on 31.03.2012 = Rs. 10,000
Salary paid in cash during the year = Rs. 3,00,000
Step 1: Calculate the total salary expense for the year
Total salary expense = Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2012 + Salary paid in cash during the year - Prepaid salary on 31.03.2012 - Salary outstanding as on 31.03.2013
= Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 3,00,000 - Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 10,000
= Rs. 2,95,000
Step 2: Debit the total salary expense to Profit and Loss A/c
Salary debited to Profit and Loss A/c = Total salary expense
= Rs. 2,95,000
Therefore, the correct option is B) Rs. 2,95,000.

Maheshwar Sharma answered |
Explanation:
Petty cash is a small fund of cash kept on hand to pay for minor expenses, such as office supplies or postage. The balance of the petty cash represents the amount of cash remaining in the fund. It is classified as an asset because it is a resource owned by the company that has future economic value.
Reasons why the balance of the petty cash is an asset are as follows:
1. It is a physical asset - Petty cash is in the form of physical currency, which is a tangible asset.
2. It has future economic value - The balance of the petty cash can be used to pay for future expenses, which means it has economic value.
3. It is owned by the company - The petty cash is owned by the company, which makes it an asset.
Therefore, the balance of the petty cash is classified as an asset on the company's balance sheet. The amount of the petty cash is recorded as a debit to the petty cash account and a credit to the cash account when the fund is established. As expenses are paid from the petty cash, the petty cash account is debited and the appropriate expense account is credited. When the fund is replenished, the petty cash account is credited, and the cash account is debited.

Let's assume the Selling price per unit = Rs.100
Profit on Selling price is given 20% i.e. Rs.20
Therefore cost per unit will be: Selling price per unit - Profit per unit
= Rs.100 - Rs.20 = Rs.80 = Cost Price per unit
Hence Cost price per unit is Rs.80 and the Profit per unit is Rs.20
Then profit % on cost = Profit/Cost Price *100 = 20/80*100 = 25 % on cost price.

Stock refers to the goods or inventory that a company holds for sale to customers. It is an important component of a company's current assets since it is expected to be sold off within a year.
The correct answer is option 'C', which states that stock is a part of current assets.
Let's understand why stock is a part of current assets in detail:
Current Assets:
Current assets are those assets that are expected to be converted into cash within a year or the operating cycle of the business, whichever is longer. These assets are used to support the day-to-day operations of the business. Examples of current assets include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, and short-term investments.
Stock as a part of Current Assets:
Inventory or stock represents the goods or products that a company holds for sale to customers. It is considered a part of current assets because it is expected to be sold off within a year. The value of inventory is recorded on the balance sheet under the heading of current assets.
Importance of Stock:
Stock is an important component of a company's assets as it represents the company's ability to generate revenue. A company that has a good inventory management system in place can ensure that it has enough stock to meet customer demand while minimizing the costs associated with holding excess inventory.
Conclusion:
To summarize, stock is a part of current assets because it represents the goods that a company holds for sale to customers and is expected to be sold off within a year. It is an important component of a company's assets as it represents the company's ability to generate revenue.

To determine the gross profit earned by the firm, we can follow these structured steps:
- Calculate the Total Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
The total cost of goods purchased includes the cost of the goods and any additional expenses such as freight. Thus, we can calculate COGS as follows:
COGS = Cost of Goods + Freight Inwards − Cost of Unsold Goods
Substituting the values into the formula:
COGS = 90,000 + 6,000 − 12,000 - Perform the Calculation
Now, we can compute the COGS: COGS = 90,000 + 6,000 − 12,000 = 84,000 - Calculate Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the COGS from the total sales revenue. The formula for gross profit is:
Gross Profit = Sales − COGS
Substituting the values we have:
Gross Profit = 120,000 − 84,000 - Perform the Final Calculation
Now, we can compute the gross profit:
Gross Profit = 120,000 − 84,000 = 36,000
Thus, the gross profit earned by the firm is Rs. 36,000

Geetika Basak answered |
Explanation:
Depreciation and closing stock are both important components of the profit and loss statement of a business. Any error in the valuation of these components can affect the reported net profit of the business. In this case, the excess charge of Rs. 500 in depreciation and the undervaluation of Rs. 500 in closing stock will have the following impact on the net profit:
1. Effect of excess depreciation: Excess depreciation means that the amount charged for depreciation is higher than the actual amount required. This will reduce the reported profit of the business. In this case, since the excess depreciation is Rs. 500, the reported profit will be lower by Rs. 500.
2. Effect of undervaluation of closing stock: Closing stock is the value of inventory that is left unsold at the end of the accounting period. If the closing stock is undervalued, it means that the value of unsold inventory is lower than its actual value. This will result in a lower reported profit. In this case, since the closing stock is undervalued by Rs. 500, the reported profit will be lower by Rs. 500.
3. Net effect on net profit: The excess depreciation and undervaluation of closing stock both have a negative impact on the net profit. The total impact of these two errors is Rs. 1,000 (Rs. 500 + Rs. 500). Therefore, the net profit will be understated by Rs. 1,000.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the net profit of a business can be affected by errors in the valuation of important components such as depreciation and closing stock. In this case, the net profit is understated by Rs. 1,000 due to the excess charge of Rs. 500 in depreciation and the undervaluation of Rs. 500 in closing stock. It is important for businesses to ensure that the financial statements are accurate and free from errors to make informed decisions.
Depreciation and closing stock are both important components of the profit and loss statement of a business. Any error in the valuation of these components can affect the reported net profit of the business. In this case, the excess charge of Rs. 500 in depreciation and the undervaluation of Rs. 500 in closing stock will have the following impact on the net profit:
1. Effect of excess depreciation: Excess depreciation means that the amount charged for depreciation is higher than the actual amount required. This will reduce the reported profit of the business. In this case, since the excess depreciation is Rs. 500, the reported profit will be lower by Rs. 500.
2. Effect of undervaluation of closing stock: Closing stock is the value of inventory that is left unsold at the end of the accounting period. If the closing stock is undervalued, it means that the value of unsold inventory is lower than its actual value. This will result in a lower reported profit. In this case, since the closing stock is undervalued by Rs. 500, the reported profit will be lower by Rs. 500.
3. Net effect on net profit: The excess depreciation and undervaluation of closing stock both have a negative impact on the net profit. The total impact of these two errors is Rs. 1,000 (Rs. 500 + Rs. 500). Therefore, the net profit will be understated by Rs. 1,000.

Total sales for the the month of June, 2006 = 1700000
sales = 125 % of purchase price i.e cost
purchase price = 1700000*100/125 = 1360000
sales = 125 % of purchase price i.e cost
purchase price = 1700000*100/125 = 1360000

Work-in-progress is a measure of the costs of goods that have been partially completed but are not yet ready for sale. It is included in the cost of goods sold, which is a major expense on the income statement. When work-in-progress is understated, the cost of goods sold will also be understated. This will result in an overstatement of gross profit and net income.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- A. Understate cost of goods manufactured in that period. This is incorrect because work-in-progress is included in the cost of goods manufactured. When work-in-progress is understated, the cost of goods manufactured will also be understated.
- B. Overstate current assets. This is incorrect because work-in-progress is not a current asset. It is an asset that is used in the production of goods and services.
- C. Overstate gross profit from sales in that period. This is incorrect because gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from sales. When work-in-progress is understated, the cost of goods sold will also be understated. This will result in an overstatement of gross profit.
- D. Understate net income in that period. This is correct because net income is calculated by subtracting expenses from revenues. When work-in-progress is understated, the cost of goods sold will also be understated. This will result in an overstatement of gross profit and net income.

The equation "Sales = COGS + Profit" is a fundamental accounting equation that represents the relationship between a company's sales, cost of goods sold (COGS), and profit. It is known as the gross profit equation.
Here's a breakdown of the equation:
Sales: The total revenue generated from the sale of goods or services during a specific period.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): The direct expenses incurred in producing the goods or services sold during that period. It includes the cost of materials, labor, and other manufacturing or production costs.
Profit: The difference between sales and COGS, representing the remaining portion of revenue after deducting the direct costs of production. It is also known as gross profit.
The gross profit equation highlights the relationship between a company's ability to generate revenue and its efficiency in managing production costs. A higher gross profit margin indicates that the company is effectively converting its sales into profit.
Here's an example of how to apply the equation:
Suppose a company has sales of $100,000 and COGS of $60,000. Using the gross profit equation, we can calculate the profit as:
Profit = Sales - COGS = $100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000
Therefore, the company's profit for the period is $40,000.
The gross profit equation is a crucial tool for businesses to understand their financial performance and identify areas for improvement. By analyzing the relationship between sales, COGS, and profit, companies can make informed decisions about pricing strategies, production efficiency, and cost management.

Muskaan Tiwari answered |
Explanation:
When goods are lost in transit, it means that the company has not received the goods that were purchased. In this case, the Purchases Account should not be credited because no purchase has been made. Instead, the Trading Account should be credited.
The Trading Account is a nominal account that represents the gross profit or loss made by the company in a particular period. It is credited when there is a decrease in the cost of goods sold, as in the case of goods lost in transit.
The Goods Lost in Transit Account is a special account that is used to record the losses incurred due to goods lost in transit. This account is debited when goods are lost in transit and credited when an insurance claim is settled.
The Purchase Return Account is used to record the returns made by the company to its suppliers. This account is credited when goods are returned to the supplier.
The Sales Account is used to record the sales made by the company. This account is credited when goods are sold.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, when goods are lost in transit, the Purchases Account should not be credited. Instead, the Trading Account should be credited as it represents the gross profit or loss made by the company in a particular period. The Goods Lost in Transit Account is used to record the losses incurred due to goods lost in transit, while the Purchase Return Account is used to record the returns made by the company to its suppliers.

Given:
Fixed Assets = 2 * Current Assets
Fixed Assets = (1/2) * Capital
Current Assets = Rs. 3,00,000
Investment = Rs. 4,00,000
To Find:
Current Liabilities
Solution:
Let's first calculate the value of Fixed Assets and Capital using the given information.
Fixed Assets = 2 * Current Assets
Fixed Assets = 2 * Rs. 3,00,000
Fixed Assets = Rs. 6,00,000
Fixed Assets = (1/2) * Capital
Rs. 6,00,000 = (1/2) * Capital
Capital = Rs. 12,00,000
Now, we can use the balance sheet equation to find the value of Current Liabilities.
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets + Investment
Total Assets = Rs. 6,00,000 + Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs. 4,00,000
Total Assets = Rs. 13,00,000
Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Owner's Equity
Total Liabilities = Rs. 13,00,000 - Rs. 12,00,000
Total Liabilities = Rs. 1,00,000
Therefore, the value of Current Liabilities is Rs. 1,00,000.
Answer: Option (b) Rs. 1,00,000
Fixed Assets = 2 * Current Assets
Fixed Assets = (1/2) * Capital
Current Assets = Rs. 3,00,000
Investment = Rs. 4,00,000
To Find:
Current Liabilities
Solution:
Let's first calculate the value of Fixed Assets and Capital using the given information.
Fixed Assets = 2 * Current Assets
Fixed Assets = 2 * Rs. 3,00,000
Fixed Assets = Rs. 6,00,000
Fixed Assets = (1/2) * Capital
Rs. 6,00,000 = (1/2) * Capital
Capital = Rs. 12,00,000
Now, we can use the balance sheet equation to find the value of Current Liabilities.
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets + Investment
Total Assets = Rs. 6,00,000 + Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs. 4,00,000
Total Assets = Rs. 13,00,000
Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Owner's Equity
Total Liabilities = Rs. 13,00,000 - Rs. 12,00,000
Total Liabilities = Rs. 1,00,000
Therefore, the value of Current Liabilities is Rs. 1,00,000.

By making a format of balance sheet
assest total= 72000 + 90000 +60000= 222000
liability total=50000 (opening capital)+50000 (loan)+80000(creditors)=180000
hence profit = 222000-180000 = 42000
assest total= 72000 + 90000 +60000= 222000
liability total=50000 (opening capital)+50000 (loan)+80000(creditors)=180000
hence profit = 222000-180000 = 42000

Given Information:
- Opening stock is understated by Rs. 20,000.
- Closing stock is overstated by Rs. 25,000.
To find:
- Net profit in the current year.
Solution:
To calculate the net profit for the current year, we need to consider the effect of both the opening and closing stock on the profit.
Effect of understated opening stock:
- The opening stock is understated by Rs. 20,000.
- This means that the cost of goods sold (COGS) will be overstated by Rs. 20,000.
- As a result, the gross profit will be understated by Rs. 20,000.
Effect of overstated closing stock:
- The closing stock is overstated by Rs. 25,000.
- This means that the COGS will be understated by Rs. 25,000.
- As a result, the gross profit will be overstated by Rs. 25,000.
Net effect on profit:
- The combined effect of the understated opening stock and overstated closing stock is Rs. 25,000 (Rs. 25,000 - Rs. 20,000).
- This means that the net profit for the current year is overstated by Rs. 25,000.
Therefore, the correct option is (b) Overstated by Rs. 45,000.
- Opening stock is understated by Rs. 20,000.
- Closing stock is overstated by Rs. 25,000.
To find:
- Net profit in the current year.
Solution:
To calculate the net profit for the current year, we need to consider the effect of both the opening and closing stock on the profit.
Effect of understated opening stock:
- The opening stock is understated by Rs. 20,000.
- This means that the cost of goods sold (COGS) will be overstated by Rs. 20,000.
- As a result, the gross profit will be understated by Rs. 20,000.
Effect of overstated closing stock:
- The closing stock is overstated by Rs. 25,000.
- This means that the COGS will be understated by Rs. 25,000.
- As a result, the gross profit will be overstated by Rs. 25,000.
Net effect on profit:
- The combined effect of the understated opening stock and overstated closing stock is Rs. 25,000 (Rs. 25,000 - Rs. 20,000).
- This means that the net profit for the current year is overstated by Rs. 25,000.
Therefore, the correct option is (b) Overstated by Rs. 45,000.

Explanation :
Since stock is over valued so it will be deducted from the net profit. Now the net profit is (84,000 - 4,000) = 80,000.
I hope this much is crystal clear.
Now since the discount received was treated as an expense so we will have to credit it to nullify its effect and also add the discount received which will be shown on credit side. Now the sum of both items on credit side is 3,000. Thus, the net profit (80,000 + 3,000) = 83,000.

Snehal Das answered |
Explanation:
Closing stock is the stock of unsold goods that a company holds at the end of an accounting period. It is considered as a current asset for the company.
When closing stock appears in the Trial Balance, it indicates that the value of closing stock has been included in the accounts. The treatment of closing stock depends on the type of account it is being included in.
If closing stock appears in the Trading Account, it is treated as a direct expense and is deducted from the cost of goods sold to arrive at the gross profit. This is because closing stock is the value of unsold goods that are part of the cost of goods sold.
If closing stock appears in the Profit and Loss Account, it is treated as an indirect expense and is deducted from the net profit to arrive at the final profit. This is because closing stock is the value of unsold goods that have not been included in the cost of goods sold.
However, if closing stock appears in the Balance Sheet, it is treated as a current asset and is shown under the head ‘Inventories’ on the asset side of the Balance Sheet. This is because closing stock is part of the company’s inventory and represents the value of unsold goods that are available for sale in the future.
Closing stock is not included in the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account as it is not a revenue or expense account. The Profit and Loss Appropriation Account is used to distribute the profit earned by the company among the various stakeholders such as shareholders, reserves, etc.
Conclusion:
Hence, when closing stock appears in the Trial Balance, it is included in the Balance Sheet under the head ‘Inventories’ on the asset side of the Balance Sheet.

Calculation of Provision for Doubtful Debts
- Sundry Debtors on 31st March, 2006 = Rs.55,200
- Bad debts = Rs.200
- Provision for doubtful debts @ 5% = Rs.2,760 (55,200 * 5%)
Calculation of Provision for Discount
- Sundry Debtors on 31st March, 2006 = Rs.55,200
- Provision for discount @ 2% = Rs.1,104 (55,200 * 2%)
Therefore, the amount of provision of discount in debtors will be Rs.1,045 (after rounding off).
Explanation:
- Sundry Debtors are the customers who owe money to the business for goods or services provided on credit.
- Bad debts are the debts that are not expected to be recovered and are written off as an expense.
- Provision for doubtful debts is made to account for the possibility that some of the debtors may not pay their dues in full or at all. It is a contra asset account that reduces the value of the debtors in the balance sheet.
- Provision for discount is made to account for the discounts that may be given to the debtors for early payment or other reasons. It is also a contra asset account that reduces the value of the debtors in the balance sheet.
- The provision for doubtful debts is calculated as a percentage of the total debtors based on past experience or other factors.
- The provision for discount is calculated as a percentage of the total debtors based on the expected or actual discounts given to the debtors.
- The total provision for doubtful debts and provision for discount is subtracted from the total debtors to arrive at the net realizable value of the debtors.
- Sundry Debtors on 31st March, 2006 = Rs.55,200
- Bad debts = Rs.200
- Provision for doubtful debts @ 5% = Rs.2,760 (55,200 * 5%)
Calculation of Provision for Discount
- Sundry Debtors on 31st March, 2006 = Rs.55,200
- Provision for discount @ 2% = Rs.1,104 (55,200 * 2%)
Therefore, the amount of provision of discount in debtors will be Rs.1,045 (after rounding off).

To find the value of the closing stock, we can use the formula: Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases − Closing Stock
Given:
Given:
- Cost of Goods Sold = Rs.9,000
- Opening Stock = Rs.6,000
- Purchases = Rs.10,000
Plug the values into the formula and solve for the Closing Stock: 9,000 = 6,000 + 10,000 − Closing Stock
Closing Stock = 6,000 + 10,000 − 9,000 = Rs.7,000
The value of the closing stock is Rs. 7,000 (Option D).
Closing Stock = 6,000 + 10,000 − 9,000 = Rs.7,000
The value of the closing stock is Rs. 7,000 (Option D).

Given:
- Sales: Rs. 15,000
- Cost of Goods Sold: Rs. 9,000
- Trading Expenses: Rs. 4,000
Calculations
- Calculate Gross Profit: Gross Profit = Sales − Cost of Goods Sold
Gross Profit = 15,000 − 9,000 = Rs.6,000 - Calculate Net Profit: Net Profit = Gross Profit − Trading Expenses
Net Profit = 6,000 − 4,000 = Rs.2,000
Based on the calculations, the net profit for the year would be Rs. 2,000. Therefore, the correct answer is C: Rs. 2,000.

Increase in provision for doubtful debts and its impact on working capital and net profit
Impact on working capital:
- Provision for doubtful debts is a contra asset account, which means that it reduces the value of accounts receivable.
- When the provision for doubtful debts is increased, it means that there is a higher likelihood of some customers not paying their debts.
- This results in a decrease in the value of accounts receivable, which in turn reduces the working capital.
- Therefore, an increase in the provision for doubtful debts would result in a decrease in working capital.
Impact on net profit:
- Provision for doubtful debts is an expense that is charged to the income statement.
- When the provision for doubtful debts is increased, it means that the company expects to incur a higher amount of bad debts in the future.
- This results in an increase in the expense, which reduces the net profit.
- Therefore, an increase in the provision for doubtful debts would result in a decrease in net profit.
Conclusion:
- An increase in the provision for doubtful debts has a negative impact on both working capital and net profit.
- It reduces the value of accounts receivable, which in turn reduces the working capital.
- It also increases the expense, which reduces the net profit.

Calculation of Closing Stock:
1. Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
Given,
Opening Stock = Rs. 60,000
Purchases = Rs. 90,000
Sales = Rs. 1,20,000
COGS = 60,000 + 90,000 - Closing Stock
COGS = 1,50,000 - Closing Stock
COGS = 1,20,000/133 1/3% (Given Gross Profit on Cost = 33 1/3%)
COGS = Rs. 90,000
2. Calculation of Closing Stock:
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Purchases - COGS
Closing Stock = 60,000 + 90,000 - 90,000
Closing Stock = Rs. 60,000
3. Adjustments:
Due to fire, stock costing Rs. 15,000 was destroyed and insurance claim was accepted for Rs. 5,000.
Adjusted Closing Stock = Closing Stock - Cost of Stock Destroyed + Insurance Claim Received
Adjusted Closing Stock = 60,000 - 15,000 + 5,000
Adjusted Closing Stock = Rs. 50,000
Therefore, the value of closing stock is Rs. 45,000 (Option B).
1. Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
Given,
Opening Stock = Rs. 60,000
Purchases = Rs. 90,000
Sales = Rs. 1,20,000
COGS = 60,000 + 90,000 - Closing Stock
COGS = 1,50,000 - Closing Stock
COGS = 1,20,000/133 1/3% (Given Gross Profit on Cost = 33 1/3%)
COGS = Rs. 90,000
2. Calculation of Closing Stock:
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Purchases - COGS
Closing Stock = 60,000 + 90,000 - 90,000
Closing Stock = Rs. 60,000
3. Adjustments:
Due to fire, stock costing Rs. 15,000 was destroyed and insurance claim was accepted for Rs. 5,000.
Adjusted Closing Stock = Closing Stock - Cost of Stock Destroyed + Insurance Claim Received
Adjusted Closing Stock = 60,000 - 15,000 + 5,000
Adjusted Closing Stock = Rs. 50,000
Therefore, the value of closing stock is Rs. 45,000 (Option B).

Given data:
Selling price = 331/3% above cost
Sales during the year = Rs. 10,20,000
Damaged goods sold = Rs. 20,000
Cost of damaged goods sold = Rs. 30,000
To find: Gross profit
Solution:
Let the cost price of goods be Rs. x
Selling price = 331/3% above cost = (133 1/3/100) * x = (400/3) * x
Given, sales during the year = Rs. 10,20,000
So, (400/3) * x * Number of units = Rs. 10,20,000
Number of units = (10,20,000 * 3) / (400 * x) = 765
Total cost price of goods sold = 765 * x
Cost price of damaged goods sold = Rs. 30,000
Cost price of undamaged goods sold = Total cost price - Cost price of damaged goods sold = 765 * x - 30,000
Selling price of undamaged goods = (400/3) * (765 * x - 30,000) = (102 * x) - 4,000
Total selling price = Selling price of undamaged goods + Selling price of damaged goods = (102 * x) - 4,000 + Rs. 20,000 = (102 * x) + Rs. 16,000
Given, sales during the year = Rs. 10,20,000
So, (102 * x) + Rs. 16,000 = Rs. 10,20,000
(102 * x) = Rs. 10,04,000
x = Rs. 9,824.56
Total cost price of goods sold = 765 * Rs. 9,824.56 = Rs. 7,50,000.40
Gross profit = Total selling price - Total cost price = (102 * Rs. 9,824.56) + Rs. 16,000 - Rs. 7,50,000.40 = Rs. 2,40,556
Therefore, the gross profit is Rs. 2,40,000 (approx).

Lakshmi Kaur answered |
The correct answer is option D: Outstanding Expenses are current assets.
Explanation:
a) Goodwill is an intangible asset:
Goodwill represents the value of a company's brand name, reputation, customer base, and other intangible assets that contribute to its ability to generate future earnings. It arises when a company acquires another company and pays a price premium over the fair value of its identifiable net assets. Goodwill is recorded as an intangible asset on the balance sheet.
b) Sundry debtors are current assets:
Sundry debtors are amounts owed to a company by its customers or clients for goods or services provided on credit. They represent the company's accounts receivable and are classified as current assets because they are expected to be collected within a year.
c) Loose tools are tangible fixed assets:
Loose tools are physical assets used by a company in its day-to-day operations. They can include items such as hand tools, machinery, equipment, and vehicles. As tangible assets, they are classified as fixed assets because they have a useful life longer than a year and are not intended for sale in the normal course of business.
d) Outstanding Expenses are not current assets:
Outstanding expenses, also known as accrued expenses or accrued liabilities, are expenses that have been incurred but have not yet been paid. They represent obligations of the company to pay for goods or services that have already been received. Outstanding expenses are classified as current liabilities because they are expected to be settled within a year, not as current assets.
In summary, while all of the statements except for option D are correct, outstanding expenses are not classified as current assets. They are instead classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Shanaya Dasgupta answered |
Answer:
Explanation:
When bad debts are written off, it means that the company has determined that it is highly unlikely to recover the amount owed by a specific debtor. The amount of bad debt is then removed from the debtor's account and recorded as an expense in the books of accounts. However, there is still a possibility that the company may recover some or all of the bad debt in the future.
In this case, the bad debt of Rs. 2000, which was previously written off, has been recovered. The recovery of bad debt is treated as a separate transaction and needs to be recorded in the books of accounts. The recovery amount of Rs. 2000 should be credited to the Bad Debt Recovered Account.
Reasoning:
The Bad Debt Recovered Account is a nominal account used to record the recovery of previously written off bad debts. It is a contra account to the Bad Debt Account, which is used to record the write-off of bad debts as an expense. By crediting the Bad Debt Recovered Account, we are reducing the balance of this account, as it represents a recovery rather than an expense.
The other options mentioned:
a) Bad Debt Account: This account is used to record the write-off of bad debts as an expense. It is not appropriate to credit this account when a bad debt is recovered, as it would increase the expense and not reflect the recovery.
b) Debtor Account: The debtor account represents the amount owed by a specific debtor. Crediting this account is not appropriate when a bad debt is recovered, as it would increase the debtor's balance and not reflect the recovery.
d) Suspense Account: The suspense account is used to temporarily record transactions with unclear or incomplete information. It is not appropriate to credit this account when a bad debt is recovered, as it does not reflect the specific nature of the transaction.
Therefore, the correct option is c) Bad Debt Recovered Account, as it accurately reflects the recovery of the previously written off bad debt.
