(a) ₹2,17,000
(b) ₹1,03,000
(c) ₹3,03,000
(d) ₹1,83,000

Correct Answer is Option (d)
Angle’s share in loss on revaluation = ₹30,000
Total loss on revaluation = ₹30,000 × 2 = ₹ 60,000
Total profit on revaluation except furniture
= (₹15,000 not to be paid to creditors) = ₹15,000
Total loss on revaluation except furniture
= (₹40,000 stock decreased) + (₹2,000 bad debts)+ (₹16,000 PBD)
= ₹ 58,000
Net loss on revaluation except furniture = ₹58,000 – ₹15,000 = ₹43,000
Actual loss as per the Revaluation Account = ₹60,000
Loss on revaluation of furniture = ₹60,000 – ₹43,000 = ₹17,000
Hence, value of furniture was declined on revaluation.
Revalued value of furniture = ₹2,00,000 – ₹17,000
= ₹ 1,83,000

(c) ₹ 20,000.
(c) ₹ 40,000.

Correct Answer is Option (b)
Kashish was admitted for 1/4th share of which 1/8 was sacrificed by Asha and remaining by Nisha
Sacrifice made by Nisha = 1/4 : 1/8
= 2-1 / 8
= 1/8
Sacrificing ratio of Asha and Nisha = 1/8:1/8
= 1 : 1
Total goodwill of the firm = ₹ 40,000
Goodwill to be brought in by new partner= ₹40 000 x 1/4 = ₹10,000
Share of Nisha in goodwill= ₹ 10 000 x 1/ = ₹ 5,000

Q.23: Anubhav, Shagun and Pulkit are partners in a firm sharing  profits  and losses in the ratio of 2:2:1. On 1st April, 2021, they decided to change their profit-sharing ratio to 5:3:2. On that  date,  debit balance of Profit & Loss A/c ₹30,000 appeared in the balance sheet and partners decided to pass an adjusting entry for it.
Which of the undermentioned options reflect correct  treatment  for  the above situation:
(a) Shagun's capital account will be debited by ₹3,000 and Anubhav ’s capital account credited by ₹3,000
(b) Pulkit's capital account will be credited by ₹3,000 and Shagun's capital account will be credited by ₹3,000
(c) Shagun's capital account will be debited by ₹30,000 and Anubhav ’s capital account credited by ₹30,000
(d) Shagun's capital account will be debited by ₹3,000 and Anubhav ’s and Pulkit’s capital account credited by ₹2,000 and ₹1,000 respectively.

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Debit balance of Profit and Loss Account   =  ₹ 30,000
Sacrifice/ gain made by Anubhav on change in profit sharing ratio = 2/5 - 5/10
= -1/10(gain)
Sacrifice/ gain made by Shagun on change in profit sharing ratio = 2/5 - 3/10
= 1/10(sacrifice)
Sacrifice/ gain made by Pulkit on change in profit sharing ratio = 1/5 - 2/10 = Nil
Hence, Share of Anubhav in debit balance of profit and loss = 30,000 x 1/10 = ₹ 3000
So, Shagun’s capital account will be debited by ₹3,000 and Anubhav’s capital account credited by ₹3,000

Q.24: A, B and C are partners, their partnership deed provides for interest on drawings at 8% per annum. B withdrew a fixed amount in the middle of every month and his interest on drawings amounted to ₹4,800 at the end of the year. What was the amount of his monthly drawings?
(a) ₹10,000.
(b) ₹5,000.
(c) ₹1,20,000.
(d) ₹48,000.

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Rate of interest on drawings   = 8%
Average period =11. 5 months + 0.5 month / 2 = 6 months
Interest on drawings = Total amount withdrawn × rate × average period / 100×12
₹ 4,800 = Total amount withdrawn x 8 x 6 / 100 x 12
Total amount withdrawn =
= ₹ 100 × 100 × 12
= ₹ 10,000 × 12
= ₹ 1,20,000 (for the whole year)
Monthly drawings= ₹1,20,000 / 12 = ₹ 10,000 per month

Q.25: Abhay and Baldwin are partners sharing profit in the ratio 3:1. On 31st March, 2021, firm’s net profit is ₹1,25,000. The  partnership  deed provided interest on capital to Abhay and Baldwin ₹15,000 and ₹10,000 respectively and interest on drawings for the  year  amounted to ₹6,000 from Abhay and ₹4,000 from Baldwin. Abhay is also entitled to commission @10% on net divisible profits. Calculate profit to be transferred to Partners Capital A/c’s.
(a) ₹1,00,000
(b) ₹1,10,000
(c) ₹1,07,000
(d) ₹90,000

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Net profit of the firm  =  ₹ 1,25,000
Total interest on drawings = ₹6,000+ ₹4,000 = ₹10,000
Total interest on capital = ₹15,000 + ₹10,000 = ₹25,000
Net profit after interest on drawings and capital= ₹1,25,000 + ₹10,000 – ₹25,000
= ₹1,35,000 – ₹25,000
= ₹1,10,000
Commission to Abhay = 10% of ₹1,10,000 (as in question, it is given that commission  to be paid on net divisible profit hence it is given after charging such commission)
= ₹ 110 000 x 10 /110
=  ₹ 10,000
Net profit to be distributed between Abhay and Baldwin = 1,10,000 – 10,000
= ₹ 1,00,000

Q.26: Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): Revaluation A/c is prepared at the time of admission of a partner.

(b) Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct reason of (A).
(c) Only (R) is correct.
(d) Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Revaluation Account is prepared in order to record the correct market value of the assets of the firm in the balance sheet in order to show the true financial position of the firm.

Q.27: Apaar Ltd. forfeited 4,000 shares of ₹20 each, fully called up,  on which only application money of ₹6 has been paid. Out of  these 2,000 shares were reissued and ₹8,000 has been transferred to capital reserve. Calculate the rate at which these shares were reissued.
(a) ₹20  Per share
(b) ₹18  Per share
(c) ₹22  Per share
(d) ₹8 Per share

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Credit balance of share forfeiture = Amount paid on forfeited shares
= ₹4,000 × 6
= ₹ 24,000
2,000 shares were reissued.
Proportionate amount of profit on forfeiture of 2,000 shares = ₹24,000 × 2,000 /4000
= ₹12,000
Amount actually transferred to capital reserve = ₹ 8,000
Hence,
₹ (12,000 – 8,000) = ₹4,000 is discount on reissue of the forfeited shares
Discount on 2,000 shares = ₹ 4,000
Discount per share = ₹ 4,000 / ₹2000
= ₹ 2 per share
So, rate at which shares were reissued = Face value of share – Discount on issue of shares
= ₹ 20 – ₹ 2
= ₹ 18 per share

Q.28: Which of the following statement is/are true?
(i) Authorized Capital < Issued Capital
(ii) Authorized Capital ≥ Issued Capital
(iii) Subscribed Capital ≤ Issued Capital
(iv) Subscribed Capital > Issued Capital

(b) (i) and (iv) both
(c) (ii) and (iii) both
(d) (ii) only

Correct Answer is Option (c)
Issued capital can be equal or will always be less than the authorized capital. Subscribed capital can be equal or will always be less than the issued capital.
Hence option (C) is correct.

Q.29: Mickey, Tom and Jerry were partners in the ratio of 5:3:2. On 31st March, 2021, their books reflected a net profit of ₹2,10,000. As per the terms of the partnership deed they were entitled for interest on capital which amounted to ₹80,000, ₹60,000 and ₹40,000 respectively. Besides this a salary of ₹60,000 each was payable to Mickey and Tom.

Calculate the ratio in which the profits would be appropriated.
(a) 1:1:1
(b) 5:3:2
(c) 7:6:2
(d) 4:3:2

Correct Answer is Option (c)
mount of appropriation to be paid to Mickey = ₹80,000 + ₹60,000 = ₹ 1,40,000
Amount of appropriation to be paid to Tom = ₹60,000 + ₹60,000 = ₹ 1,20,000
Amount of appropriation to be paid to Jerry = ₹ 40,000
Total appropriation amount = ₹1,40,000 + ₹1,20,000 + ₹40,000
= ₹ 3,00,000
But net profit available is ₹ 2,10,000
Hence, profit will be distributed among partners in the ratio of their appropriation amount :
= 1,40,000 : 1,20,000 : 40,000 = 7 : 6 : 2

Q.30: Mohit had been allotted 600 shares by Govinda Ltd. on pro rata basis which had issued two shares for every three applied. He had paid application money of ₹3 per share and could not pay allotment money of ₹5 per share. First and final call of ₹2 per share was not yet made by the company. His shares were forfeited. The following entry will be passed:

Here X, Y and Z are:
(a) ₹ 6,000; ₹2,700; ₹3,000 respectively.
(b) ₹ 9,000; ₹2,700; ₹4,500 respectively.
(c) ₹ 4,800; ₹2,700; ₹2,100 respectively.
(d) ₹ 7,200; ₹2,700; ₹4,500 respectively.

Correct Answer is Option (c)
Mohit was allotted 600 shares
Company allotted two shares for every three applied shares.

Hence, number of shares applied by Mohit = 600 x 3/2 = 900 shares

Excess amount received from him on application = 300 x ₹3 = ₹ 900
Called up amount per share = ₹3 + ₹ 5 = ₹ 8 per share
Number of shares he was allotted = 600
So, Share Capital Account will be debited with (600 X ₹8) = ₹4,800
Amount actually received by him = 900 X ₹3 = ₹ 2,700
So, Share Forfeiture Account will be credited with ₹ 2,700

Q.35:  A and B are partners in the ratio of 3:2. C is admitted as a partner  and he takes 1/4th of his share from A.  B gives  3/16  from his share  to C. What is the share of C?
(a) 1/4
(b) 1/16
(c) 1/6
(d) 3/16

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Let total share of C = x
He takes 1/4th of his share from A
1/4th of x = x/4
Remaining share to be taken from B = x - x/4
= 4x -x / 4
= 3x / 4
3x / 4 = 3/16
3x x 16 = 4 x 3
48x = 12
x = 12/48
x = 1/4
Total share of C in the new firm = 1/4
