Explanation
This solution involves preparing the final accounts from a Trial Balance with adjustments.
- Trading Account: Calculates Gross Loss (19,300) because the cost of goods sold (Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Freight) exceeded Net Sales after accounting for Closing Stock.
- Profit & Loss Account: The Gross Loss is carried over. Adjustments for Bad Debts involved calculating a net debit of 9,331 (Bad debts + New Provision + Discount on Debtors - Old Provision). Depreciation, outstanding rent, and interest on drawings were accounted for. Despite credit items like Interest Received and Discount Received, the heavy expenses and Gross Loss resulted in a Net Loss of ₹ 27,482.40.
- Balance Sheet: The Capital account is reduced by Drawings, Interest on Drawings, and the Net Loss. Assets are reported at their written-down value after depreciation. Debtors are shown at their realizable value after deducting bad debts and provisions.
- Matching Principle: The Total of the Balance Sheet liabilities (₹ 3,18,894) matches the Total Assets.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Trading Account to find Gross Loss. Net Sales (94,000) + Closing Stock (35,000) - [Opening Stock (75,550) + Net Purchases (70,500) + Freight (2,250)] = Gross Loss (19,300).
Step 2: Process Adjustments. Calculate Depreciation (3,275), Outstanding Rent (200), Interest on Drawings (813.60). For Bad Debts: Net impact on P&L is (3000+1000+4950+1881) - 1500 = 9,331.
Step 3: Prepare the Profit and Loss Account. Debit side includes Gross Loss, Trade Expenses, Printing, Rent (adjusted), Depreciation, and Net Bad Debt expense. Credit side includes Incomes and Gains. Result is Net Loss (27,482.40).
Step 4: Prepare the Balance Sheet. Liabilities side includes adjusted Capital, Bills Payable, Creditors, and Outstanding Rent. Assets side includes adjusted Fixed Assets (Motor Car, Furniture), Current Assets (Stock, Debtors adjusted, Investments, Cash).
Step 5: Verify totals. Both sides of the Balance Sheet must tally at ₹ 3,18,894.
