Best answer

Answer: Net profit ₹ 10,500 (₹ 5,250 each); Balance Sheet total ₹ 2,89,500.

Working notes

  • Insurance: ₹ 30,000 is for 15 months, i.e. ₹ 2,000 per month. Expense for 12 months = ₹ 24,000; prepaid for 3 months = ₹ 6,000.
  • Land and Building: the original ₹ 60,000 for a full year @ 10% = ₹ 6,000; the addition of ₹ 40,000 from 1st July, 2021 for 9 months = 40,000 × 10% × 9/12 = ₹ 3,000. Total depreciation ₹ 9,000.
  • Furniture: 80,000 × 5% = ₹ 4,000.
  • Debtors after bad debts = 52,000 – 2,000 = ₹ 50,000; R.D.D. @ 5% = ₹ 2,500.
  • Interest on 10% bank loan from 1st October, 2021 to 31st March, 2022 = 60,000 × 10% × 6/12 = ₹ 3,000. No payment appears in the trial balance, so it is outstanding.
  • Interest ₹ 3,000 on the credit side of the trial balance is interest received (an income), credited to the Profit and Loss Account.
  • Gross profit ₹ 69,000 is given, so no Trading Account is needed; closing stock ₹ 69,000 appears only in the Balance Sheet.
