Explanation

The solution is prepared based on the specific trial balance and adjustments provided in the question text. Although the context provided contains fragments of a similar problem with different adjustment figures (e.g., Closing stock ₹32,000), the solution strictly adheres to the values in the prompt (e.g., Closing stock ₹10,000).

Key calculations for adjustments:

  1. Provisions: Bad debts, provision for bad debts, and discount on debtors are calculated sequentially. Further bad debts (₹1,500) are deducted from Debtors (₹50,000) first. The new provision for bad debts (6%) is calculated on the balance (₹48,500), and the discount (5%) is calculated on the resulting balance.
  2. Interest: Interest on investment is calculated as 5% of ₹23,100 (₹1,155). This is added to the Interest Received in the P&L and shown as an asset in the Balance Sheet.
  3. Wages: Prepaid wages (₹1,000) are deducted from the Trading account expense and shown as an asset.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Trading Account Preparation - Calculate Net Sales (₹2,50,000 - ₹25,000) and Net Purchases (₹1,25,000 - ₹6,000). Adjust Wages for prepaid amount (₹3,000 - ₹1,000). Use Closing Stock of ₹10,000. Resulting Gross Profit is ₹79,000.

  2. Step 2: Adjustments Calculation -

    • Bad Debts Adjustment: Total Bad Debt expense = Old (3,500) + Further (1,500) + New Prov (48,500 * 6% = 2,910) + Discount Prov ((48,500-2,910) * 5% = 2,280) - Old Provision Credit (4,500) = ₹5,690 (Net Debit).
    • Depreciation: 20,000 * 5% = ₹1,000.
    • Interest Accrued: 23,100 * 5% = ₹1,155.
  3. Step 3: Profit & Loss Account Preparation - Credit side includes Gross Profit (₹79,000), Discount Received (₹1,000), Interest Received + Accrued (₹5,400 + ₹1,155), and Old Provision (₹4,500). Debit side includes all expenses and the net bad debt adjustment. Net Profit calculated is ₹52,565.

  4. Step 4: Balance Sheet Preparation - Assets include Cash, Bank, Stock, Investment (plus accrued interest), Net Debtors (after all deductions), Machinery (after depreciation), and Prepaid Wages. Liabilities include Capital (plus Net Profit), Creditors, and Bills Payable. Total matches at ₹1,57,565.
