Best answer

Answer: Net profit ₹ 12,000 (₹ 6,000 each to Mama and Kaka); Balance Sheet total ₹ 2,91,000.

Working notes

  • Gross profit is given (₹ 69,000), so the Profit and Loss Account starts with it. Closing stock (₹ 69,000) is shown only on the assets side.
  • Insurance charged = ₹ 30,000 – prepaid ₹ 7,500 = ₹ 22,500.
  • Depreciation on Land and Building at 10% p.a.: on the old balance ₹ 60,000 for 12 months = ₹ 6,000; on the addition ₹ 40,000 from 1st July, 2018 for 9 months = ₹ 40,000 × 10/100 × 9/12 = ₹ 3,000; total ₹ 9,000. Furniture: 5% of ₹ 80,000 = ₹ 4,000.
  • Debtors after bad debts = ₹ 52,000 – ₹ 2,000 = ₹ 50,000. R.D.D. 5% = ₹ 2,500 (no old provision).
  • Interest on 10% bank loan from 1st October, 2018 to 31st March, 2019 (6 months) = ₹ 60,000 × 10/100 × 6/12 = ₹ 3,000. Nothing in the trial balance is stated as loan interest, so this is provided as outstanding. The interest ₹ 2,000 (Dr.) is an expense and interest ₹ 3,000 (Cr.) is an income.
