Explanation
The solution involves preparing the Final Accounts from the given Trial Balance and Adjustments.
- Trading Account: Calculated Gross Profit is ₹ 1,09,000. Purchases are reduced by ₹ 20,000 (Returns) and ₹ 5,000 (Private purchases). Sales are reduced by ₹ 15,000 (Returns).
- Profit & Loss Account: Net Loss is ₹ 5,100.
- Private Purchases: ₹ 5,000 is deducted from Purchases and added to Drawings.
- Provision for Bad Debts: New provision is 5% of ₹ 80,000 = ₹ 4,000. The P&L is charged with Bad Debts (₹ 1,800) + New Provision (₹ 4,000) - Old Provision (₹ 2,100) = ₹ 3,700.
- Signboard: ₹ 4,000 is capitalized, reducing Advertising expense to ₹ 6,000 and increasing Furniture to ₹ 20,000.
- Depreciation: 10% on ₹ 20,000 (Furniture + Signboard) = ₹ 2,000.
- Balance Sheet:
- Capital: Adjusted for Drawings (₹ 14,000 + ₹ 5,000) and Net Loss (₹ 5,100).
- Assets: Closing Stock (₹ 36,000), Furniture (₹ 18,000 after depreciation), Debtors (₹ 76,000 after provision).
Solution Steps
Step 1: Transfer Trial Balance figures to Trading A/c (Dr: Opening Stock, Purchases, Carriage, Wages, Sales Return; Cr: Sales, Purchase Return) and Profit & Loss A/c (Dr: Bad Debts, Discount, Rent, Misc, Salaries, Advertising, Interest; Cr: Discount, Old Provision).
Step 2: Adjust Private Purchases: Subtract ₹ 5,000 from Purchases (Trading A/c) and add it to Drawings in the Balance Sheet.
Step 3: Adjust Closing Stock: Enter ₹ 36,000 on the Credit side of Trading A/c and Asset side of Balance Sheet.
Step 4: Adjust Signboard: Subtract ₹ 4,000 from Advertising (P&L) and Add ₹ 4,000 to Furniture (BS).
Step 5: Calculate Depreciation: 10% on (₹ 16,000 Furniture + ₹ 4,000 Signboard) = ₹ 2,000. Debit P&L, Credit BS.
Step 6: Adjust Provision for Bad Debts: Calculate 5% on Debtors (₹ 80,000) = ₹ 4,000. Show Bad Debts + New Provision - Old Provision on P&L Debit side. Show Debtors less New Provision in BS Assets.
