Best answer

Answer: Gross profit ₹ 30,500; Net profit ₹ 8,815 (₹ 4,407.50 to each partner); Balance Sheet total ₹ 1,99,315.

Notes: (i) Closing stock is valued at cost or market price, whichever is lower: ₹ 35,000. (ii) Advertisement of ₹ 30,000 is for 3 years, so 1/3 = ₹ 10,000 is charged this year and ₹ 20,000 is carried forward as an asset (deferred revenue expenditure). (iii) Royalty is a direct expense. (iv) No partnership agreement is given, so profit is shared equally.
