ExplanationThe given figures represent the sales, cost of goods sold, and expenses for two departments X and Y of a firm. Based on these figures, we can prepare departmental trading and profit loss accounts and departmental balance sheets for each department.
The departmental trading and profit loss account shows the sales and cost of goods sold for each department, which are used to calculate the gross profit. The gross profit is then reduced by the departmental expenses to arrive at the net profit for each department.
The departmental balance sheet shows the capital, net profit, and drawings for each department, as well as the assets owned by each department. The total capital for both departments is the sum of the capital for each department plus the net profit for each department. The net capital is the total capital less the drawings for each department. The total assets for both departments is the sum of the assets owned by each department.
Overall, these statements provide a detailed picture of the financial position of each department within the firm.
