Best answer

Answer: Amount payable to Narendra’s executor ₹ 38,800. OR: (A) Current ratio 6 : 1 (B) Net profit ratio 15.79%.

Working notes

1. Revaluation (Profit and Loss Adjustment): Stock ₹ 17,000 → ₹ 16,700 (loss ₹ 300); Furniture ₹ 18,000 → ₹ 16,200 (loss ₹ 1,800); Land and Building ₹ 16,000 → ₹ 30,100 (gain ₹ 14,100). Net gain = ₹ 14,100 – ₹ 2,100 = ₹ 12,000. Narendra’s share 2/10 = ₹ 2,400.

2. (B)(i) Share of goodwill due to Narendra: Total profit of 4 years = ₹ 30,000 + ₹ 25,000 + ₹ 25,000 + ₹ 40,000 = ₹ 1,20,000. Average profit = ₹ 1,20,000 ÷ 4 = ₹ 30,000. Goodwill of the firm = ₹ 30,000 × 3 = ₹ 90,000. Narendra’s share = ₹ 90,000 × 2/10 = ₹ 18,000. It is borne by Mahendra and Surendra in their gain ratio 5 : 3: Mahendra ₹ 11,250, Surendra ₹ 6,750.

3. (B)(ii) Share of profit due to Narendra: Last year’s profit ₹ 40,000. Period 1st April to 30th June 2019 = 3 months. Profit for 3 months = ₹ 40,000 × 3/12 = ₹ 10,000. Narendra’s share = ₹ 10,000 × 2/10 = ₹ 2,000 (debited to Profit and Loss Suspense A/c).

4. Other items: General Reserve ₹ 16,000 × 2/10 = ₹ 3,200. Salary ₹ 1,200 × 3 = ₹ 3,600. Interest on capital ₹ 12,000 × 10% × 3/12 = ₹ 300. Drawings ₹ 900 × 3 = ₹ 2,700.

(A) Current ratio

  • Current assets = Total assets – Fixed assets = ₹ 22,000 – ₹ 10,000 = ₹ 12,000.
  • Capital employed = Total assets – Current liabilities, so Current liabilities = ₹ 22,000 – ₹ 20,000 = ₹ 2,000.
  • Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities = ₹ 12,000 ÷ ₹ 2,000 = 6 : 1.

(B) Net profit ratio

  • Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold = ₹ 76,000 – ₹ 52,000 = ₹ 24,000.
  • Net profit = Gross profit – Indirect expenses = ₹ 24,000 – ₹ 12,000 = ₹ 12,000.
  • Net profit ratio = Net profit ÷ Net sales × 100 = 12,000 ÷ 76,000 × 100 = 15.79%.
