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).

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.

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

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

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%.

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.

To determine the rent payable for the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December 2005, we need to calculate how much of the rent paid covers the 2005 year. This involves the period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005.
- Rent paid on 1 October 2004 for the year to 30 September 2005 was Rs. 1,200. This payment covers:
- 3 months of 2004 (October to December) and
- 9 months of 2005 (January to September).
- Rent paid on 1 October 2005 for the year to 30 September 2006 was Rs. 1,600. This payment covers:
- 3 months of 2005 (October to December) and
- 9 months of 2006 (January to September).
Calculation:
- Rent for 2004 payment applicable to 2005:
- Full year rent is Rs. 1,200.
- Monthly rent is Rs. 1,200 / 12 months = Rs. 100 per month.
- Rent for 9 months (January to September 2005) = 9 months x Rs. 100 = Rs. 900.
- Rent for 2005 payment applicable to 2005:
- Full year rent is Rs. 1,600.
- Monthly rent is Rs. 1,600 / 12 months = Rs. 133.33 per month.
- Rent for 3 months (October to December 2005) = 3 months x Rs. 133.33 = Rs. 400 (approximately).
- Total rent for 2005:
- Rent from 2004 payment (Jan to Sep) + Rent from 2005 payment (Oct to Dec) = Rs. 900 + Rs. 400 = Rs. 1,300.
The rent payable, as shown in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31 December 2005, is Rs. 1,300. Therefore, the correct choice is C: Rs. 1,300.

Nipun Tuteja answered |
In the context of a sole trader's capital:
- A: a creditor being paid his account by cheque: This does not change the capital of the sole trader. It simply decreases cash (an asset) and decreases liabilities (the amount owed to the creditor) by the same amount, leaving the net capital unchanged.
- B: raw materials being purchased on credit: This also does not change capital. It increases inventory (an asset) and increases accounts payable (a liability), which keeps the capital unchanged.
- C: fixed assets being purchased on credit: Similar to the above options, purchasing fixed assets on credit increases both assets (the fixed assets) and liabilities (the amount owed), thus leaving the capital unchanged.
- D: wages being paid in cash: This reduces cash (an asset) and directly affects the profit of the business. If wages are an expense, they decrease the net income, which subsequently decreases the capital of the sole trader.
Thus, the correct understanding is that wages being paid in cash will reduce the capital, making D the appropriate choice in the context of changes to the sole trader's capital.

Nipun Tuteja answered |
Fixed assets are long-term tangible assets that a business uses in its operations to generate income. They are not intended for resale in the normal course of business. Here’s a breakdown of the options:
- A: kept in the business for use over a long time for earning income: This is correct. Fixed assets, such as machinery, buildings, and equipment, are utilized over an extended period to support the company's operations and generate revenue.
- B: meant for resale: This is incorrect. Fixed assets are not primarily meant for resale; they are used in the production of goods or services.
- C: meant for conversion into cash as quickly as possible: This is also incorrect. Fixed assets are not intended to be liquidated quickly; they are long-term investments.
- D: All of the above: Since options B and C are incorrect, this option cannot be true.
Thus, the only accurate statement about fixed assets is option A.

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.

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).
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).

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.

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.

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).

Nipun Tuteja answered |
Stock (or inventory) refers to the goods and materials that a business holds for the purpose of resale. It is considered a current asset because it is expected to be sold or used up within one year as part of the normal operating cycle of the business.
- A: included in the category of fixed assets: This is incorrect. Fixed assets are long-term assets used in the operation of a business, while stock is a current asset.
- B: an investment: This is misleading. While stock may be an investment for some companies (e.g., investing in raw materials), in the context of business operations, it is primarily categorized as an asset, specifically a current asset.
- C: a part of current assets: This is correct. Stock is classified as a current asset on the balance sheet.
- D: an intangible fixed asset: This is incorrect. Stock is tangible and is not classified as an intangible asset.
Therefore, the accurate classification of stock is C.

KP Classes answered |
In this scenario, goods sold to Mr. A for Rs. 50,000 at a profit of 20% on cost are still lying in the godown (warehouse) at the buyer's risk. Since these goods have not yet been transferred out of the seller's possession (they remain in the seller's warehouse), they should be treated as part of closing stock.
- Sales: The goods should not be included in sales because they have not actually been delivered to the buyer. The sale is only recorded for accounting purposes, but the goods are still with the seller.
- Closing Stock: Since these goods are unsold and still in the godown, they will be considered part of the closing stock in the balance sheet, representing inventory that the business still holds.
- Goods in Transit: This term refers to goods that are on their way to the buyer but have not yet arrived. In this case, the goods are not in transit as they are still at the seller's location.
- Sales Return: This option does not apply here since the goods have not been returned; they simply remain unsold at the buyer's risk.
Thus, the appropriate treatment of these goods is to classify them as part of closing stock.

KP Classes answered |
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Explanation:
The manufacturing account is prepared to determine the cost of goods manufactured during the accounting period. It includes all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production process. The sale of scrap of raw materials is considered as a reduction in the cost of production. Therefore, it is shown on the credit side of the manufacturing account.
The trading account, on the other hand, is prepared to determine the gross profit earned by a business. It includes all the direct expenses and revenues related to the sale of goods. The sale of scrap does not fall under the category of revenue earned from the sale of goods. Therefore, it is not shown on the credit side of the trading account.
The profit and loss account is prepared to determine the net profit or loss earned by a business. The sale of scrap does not fall under the category of regular business operations and is considered as an extraordinary item. Therefore, it is not shown on the profit and loss account.

Kavita Joshi answered |
Fixed Asset : Indian accounting professionals have been using this term for decades, but with their journey towards convergence with IFRS , they have adopted more accurate term Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
As per Ind AS 16, Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are tangible items that:
(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and
(b) are expected to be used during more than one period.
Examples: Land, Building, Machinery, Furniture & Fixture, Vehicles etc.
All PPE’s except Land are ‘Depreciable’ assets.
‘Depreciation’-which is nothing but a measure of quantum of reduction in the value of asset. This ensures allocation of relevant portion of total cost of asset against that period’s revenue to arrive at Profit or Loss.

Jyoti Nair answered |
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.

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.

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.

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).
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.

Calculation of Loss by Fire:
Cost of furniture = Rs. 18,000
Less: Depreciation provision = Rs. 2,700
Net book value of furniture = Rs. 15,300
Amount claimed from insurance company = Rs. 12,000
Loss by fire = Net book value of furniture - Amount claimed from insurance company
= Rs. 15,300 - Rs. 12,000
= Rs. 3,300
Therefore, the amount to be recorded in the account as loss by fire is Rs. 3,300.
Cost of furniture = Rs. 18,000
Less: Depreciation provision = Rs. 2,700
Net book value of furniture = Rs. 15,300
Amount claimed from insurance company = Rs. 12,000
Loss by fire = Net book value of furniture - Amount claimed from insurance company
= Rs. 15,300 - Rs. 12,000
= Rs. 3,300
Therefore, the amount to be recorded in the account as loss by fire is Rs. 3,300.
