Explanation
The solution involves preparing the Final Accounts from the given Trial Balance and Adjustments.
- Trading Account: Calculates Gross Loss (17,000) as expenses (Opening Stock + Purchases + Wages) exceed sales revenues.
- Profit & Loss Account: Expenses like Salary (adjusted for outstanding), Insurance (adjusted for prepaid), and Depreciation are debited. Bad debts and Provisions are adjusted. Incomes like Discount and Commission (adjusted for advance) are credited. Rent Receivable is treated as income. This results in a Net Loss of 19,689.
- Balance Sheet: Assets and Liabilities are marshaled. Adjustments for outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, accrued income, and depreciation are reflected in the respective heads. A Suspense Account of 12,000 is introduced on the Liabilities side to balance the Balance Sheet, addressing the difference in the Trial Balance totals provided in the question context.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Prepare Trading Account. Transfer Purchases (Net of Returns), Opening Stock, Wages to Debit side. Transfer Sales (Net of Returns) and Closing Stock to Credit side. Calculate Gross Loss (Difference).
Step 2: Prepare Profit & Loss Account. Debit all expenses (Salary + Outstanding, Rent, Insurance - Prepaid, Trade Exp, Bad Debts + Provision Adjustments, Depreciation, etc.). Credit all incomes (Discount Rec, Comm Rec - Advance, Rent Rec). Calculate Net Loss.
Step 3: Adjust Bad Debts and Provisions. Further Bad Debts (1,000) added. New Debtors = 82,000 - 1,000 = 81,000. New Provision for DD = 5% of 81,000 = 4,050. Discount on Debtors = 2% of (81,000 - 4,050) = 1,539.
Step 4: Adjust other items. Depreciation on Building = 6% of 1,10,000 = 6,600. Salary Outstanding = 1,000 (Liability). Insurance Prepaid = 800 (Asset). Rent Receivable = 2,000 (Asset). Comm Adv = 1,000 (Liability).
Step 5: Prepare Balance Sheet. Show Net Loss and Drawings as deductions from Capital. Place Assets and Liabilities appropriately. Insert Suspense Account (12,000 Cr) to balance the sheet.
