CBSE Class 12 2024 Accountancy Questions with Solutions

PART A
(Accounting for Partnership Firms and Companies)

Question 1(a):

Atul, Beena, and Sita were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 8:7: 5. Damini was admitted as a new partner for 15 share in the profits, which she acquired entirely from Atul. The new profit-sharing ratio after Damini's admission will be:

  1. 7 : 7 : 5 : 1
  2. 4 : 7 : 5 : 4
  3. 8 : 7 : 5 : 4
  4. 7 : 5 : 5 : 4
Correct Answer: (2) 4 : 7 : 5 : 4.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Understand the initial profit-sharing ratio and Damini's share.
The initial profit-sharing ratio of Atul, Beena, and Sita is 8 : 7 : 5, and Damini is admitted with a 15 share in the profits. Damini's share is acquired entirely from Atul.

Step 2: Calculate Atul's new share after giving Damini 15.
Atul's original share is 820. Damini's share, 15 = 420 , is subtracted entirely from Atul's share.
Thus, Atul's new share is:
820 - 420 = 420

Step 3: Beena and Sita's shares remain unchanged.
Beena's share is 720, and Sita's share is 520 . These remain the same as Damini's share only affects Atul's share.

Step 4: Finalize the new profit-sharing ratio.
The new profit-sharing ratio of Atul, Beena, Sita, and Damini is:
4 : 7 : 5 : 4.

Question 1(b):

Rushil and Abheer were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4 : 3. They admitted Sunil as a new partner for 37 share in the profits of the firm, which he acquired 27 share from Rushil and 17 share from Abheer. The new profit-sharing ratio of Rushil, Abheer, and Sunil will be:

  1. 4 : 3 : 3
  2. 2 : 1 : 3
  3. 2 : 2 : 3
  4. 4 : 3 : 1
Correct Answer: (3) 2 : 2 : 3.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Determine new shares: Rushil's new share = 47 - 27 = 27.
Abheer's new share = 37 - 17 = 27. Sunil's share = 37.

Step 2: Combine shares and simplify:
Rushil : Abheer : Sunil = 27 : 27 : 37 = 26 : 20 : 3 = 2 : 2 : 3.

Question 2:

Abhay, Boris, and Chetan were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Boris was guaranteed a profit of ₹95,000. Any deficiency on account of this was to be borne by Abhay and Chetan equally. The firm earned a profit of ₹2,00,000 for the year ended 31st March, 2023. The amount given by Abhay to Boris as guaranteed amount will be:

  1. ₹17,500
  2. ₹35,000
  3. ₹25,000
  4. ₹10,000
Correct Answer: (2) ₹35,000.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the profit share of each partner.
The total profit of the firm is ₹2,00,000. The profit-sharing ratio among Abhay, Boris, and Chetan is 5 : 3 : 2. Calculating the profit share:
Abhay's share = 510 × 2,00,000 = ₹1,00,000.
Boris's share = 310 × 2,00,000 = ₹60,000.
Chetan's share = 210 × 2,00,000 = ₹40,000.

Step 2: Identify the deficiency in Boris's profit.
Boris is guaranteed a profit of ₹95,000, but his actual share is only ₹60,000. The deficiency is:
Deficiency = ₹95,000 – ₹60,000 = ₹35,000.

Question 3:

Aavya, Mitansh, and Praveen were partners in a firm. On 31st March, 2023, the firm was dissolved. Creditors took over furniture of book value of ₹50,000 at ₹45,000 in part settlement of their amount of ₹60,000. The balance amount was paid to them through cheque. The amount paid through cheque will be:

  1. ₹10,000
  2. ₹50,000
  3. ₹45,000
  4. ₹15,000
Correct Answer: (4) ₹15,000.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Total creditors' amount = ₹60,000.
Step 2: Adjust amount against furniture = ₹45,000.
Step 3: Balance payable = ₹60,000 - ₹45,000 = ₹15,000.

Question 4:

Piyush, Rajesh, and Avinash were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses equally. Shiva was admitted as a new partner for an equal share. Shiva brought his share of capital and premium for goodwill in cash. The premium for goodwill amount will be divided among:

  1. Old partners in old ratio
  2. New partners in new ratio
  3. New partners in sacrificing ratio
  4. Old partners in sacrificing ratio
Correct Answer: (4) Old partners in sacrificing ratio.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Goodwill premium is distributed to old partners in their sacrificing ratio.
Step 2: Calculate the sacrificing ratio:
Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio - New ratio = 1 : 1 : 1.

Question 5:

Alex, Benn, and Cole were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. They admitted Dona as a new partner for 15 share in the future profits. Dona agreed to contribute proportionate capital. On the date of admission, capitals of Alex, Benn, and Cole after all adjustments were ₹1,20,000; ₹80,000; and ₹1,00,000, respectively. The amount of capital brought in by Dona will be:

  1. ₹75,000
  2. ₹70,000
  3. ₹65,000
  4. ₹60,000
Correct Answer: (1) ₹75,000.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Determine the total capital of the firm.
The total capital of Alex, Benn, and Cole after adjustments is:
Total Capital = Alex's Capital + Benn's Capital + Cole's Capital.
Substituting the values:
Total Capital = ₹1,20,000 + ₹80,000 + ₹1,00,000 = ₹3,00,000.

Step 2: Calculate Dona's proportionate capital.
Dona is admitted with a 15 share in the future profits. The proportionate capital for Dona is calculated as:
Dona's Capital = Dona's ShareRemaining Partners' Share × Total Capital.
Dona's share is 15 , and the remaining partners' share is 1 - 15 = 45. Substituting the values:
Dona's Capital = 15 × 54 × 3,00,000 = 14 × 3,00,000 = ₹75,000.

Step 3: Finalize Dona's capital contribution.
Dona's proportionate capital to be brought into the firm is ₹75,000.

Step 3: Conclusion: Reason (R) accurately explains Assertion (A), making both the assertion and the reason correct.

Question 7:

Abha and Babita were partners in a clay toy-making firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. On 1st April, 2023, their capital accounts showed balances of ₹5,00,000 and ₹10,00,000 respectively. The partnership deed provides for interest on capital @ 10% p.a. The firm earned a profit of ₹90,000 during the year. The amount of interest on capital allowed to Abha will be:

  1. ₹50,000
  2. ₹1,00,000
  3. ₹60,000
  4. ₹30,000
Correct Answer: (4) ₹30,000.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Determine the interest on capital as per the partnership deed.
The partnership deed provides for interest on capital at 10% per annum. For Abha:
Interest on Abha's capital = ₹5,00,000 × 10100 = ₹50,000.

Step 2: Check the adequacy of profits to provide full interest on capital.
The firm's total profit for the year is ₹90,000. The total interest on capital for both partners is:
Interest on Abha's capital + Interest on Babita's capital = ₹50,000 + (₹10,00,000 × 10100) = ₹50,000 + ₹1,00,000
Since the available profit (₹90,000) is less than the total interest on capital (₹1,50,000), the interest will be distributed proportionally to their capital balances.

Step 3: Distribute the available profit in proportion to capital balances.
The capital balances of Abha and Babita are ₹5,00,000 and ₹10,00,000, respectively. The ratio of their capitals is:
Abha's capitalBabita's capital = 5,00,00010,00,000 = 1 : 2.
The available profit of ₹90,000 will be distributed in the ratio 1 : 2:
Abha's share of interest = 13 × 90,000 = ₹30,000.

Step 4: Finalize the interest on capital for Abha.
The amount of interest on capital allowed to Abha is ₹30,000.

Question 8:

Babita's share in profit will be:

  1. ₹60,000
  2. ₹30,000
  3. Nil
  4. ₹1,00,000
Correct Answer: (3) Nil.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Total profit available for the firm.
The firm earned a total profit of ₹90,000 for the year. As per the partnership deed, interest on capital is provided before distributing the remaining profit.

Step 2: Calculate the total interest on capital.
The capital balances of Abha and Babita are ₹5,00,000 and ₹10,00,000, respectively. The interest on capital is calculated at 10% per annum:
Interest on Abha's capital = ₹5,00,000 × 10100= ₹50,000.
Interest on Babita's capital = ₹10,00,000 × 10100 = ₹1,00,000.
The total interest on capital required is:
₹50,000 + ₹1,00,000 = ₹1,50,000.

Step 3: Check if the available profit is sufficient to cover the interest on capital.
The available profit (₹90,000) is less than the required interest on capital (₹1,50,000). Hence, the available profit is distributed proportionally to the partners' capital balances.

Step 4: Distribute the available profit.
The ratio of capital balances is:
Abha's capitalBabita's capital = 5,00,00010,00,000 = 1 : 2.
The available profit of ₹90,000 is distributed in the ratio 1 : 2:
Abha's share of interest = 13 × 90,000 = ₹30,000.
Babita's share of interest = 23 × 90,000 = ₹60,000.

Step 5: Check if Babita's profit share remains.
Babita's interest on capital (₹60,000) is fully covered by the available profit. Since all the available profit has been used to pay the interest on capital, no additional profit remains to be distributed. Therefore, Babita's share in profit is:
Nil.

Question 9:

Alfa Ltd. invited applications for 50,000 equity shares of ₹10 each at a premium of 30%. The whole amount was payable on application. Applications were received for 2,50,000 shares. The company decided to allot the shares on a pro-rata basis to all the applicants. The amount refunded by the company was:

  1. ₹32,50,000
  2. ₹15,60,000
  3. ₹39,00,000
  4. ₹26,00,000
Correct Answer: (4) ₹26,00,000
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Understand the pro-rata allotment.
The company invited applications for 50,000 equity shares, but applications were received for 2,50,000 shares. Hence, the pro-rata allotment ratio is:
Pro-rata ratio = Shares AllottedShares Applied = 50,0002,50,000 = 15
This means for every 5 shares applied, only 1 share was allotted.

Step 2: Calculate the total amount received on applications.
The application money for each share is ₹10 + ₹3 (premium) = ₹13. The total amount received for 2,50,000 shares is:
Total Amount Received = 2,50,000 × 13 = ₹32,50,000.

Step 3: Calculate the amount retained by the company.
Since 50,000 shares were allotted, the company retained application money for only these shares. The total amount retained is:
Amount Retained = 50,000 × 13 = ₹6,50,000.

Step 4: Calculate the amount refunded.
The amount refunded to the applicants is the difference between the total amount received and the amount retained:
Amount Refunded = Total Amount Received – Amount Retained.
Substituting the values:
Amount Refunded = ₹32,50,000 – ₹6,50,000 = ₹26,00,000.

Step 5: Finalize the refund amount.
The amount refunded by the company is ₹26,00,000.

  1. Issued
  2. Called up
  3. Uncalled
  4. Nominal
Correct Answer: (3) Uncalled.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Understand reserve capital: Reserve capital refers to the uncalled portion of the subscribed capital that is earmarked for use only in case of company liquidation.

Step 2: Purpose of reserve capital: It acts as a safeguard for creditors during the winding-up process.

Question 11:

Xeno Ltd. issued 25,000 equity shares of ₹10 each. The amount was payable as follows:

• On Application – ₹4 per share

• On Allotment – ₹5 per share

• On First and Final Call – Balance

All the shares offered were applied for and allotted. All the money due on allotment was received except on 1,500 shares. These shares were forfeited immediately after allotment. First and final call was not yet made. At the time of forfeiture, Share Capital Account will be debited by:

  1. ₹15,000
  2. ₹24,000
  3. ₹13,500
  4. ₹18,000
Correct Answer: (3) ₹13,500
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Understand the structure of share capital.
The face value of each share is ₹10, and the amount payable is as follows:
On Application = ₹4, On Allotment = ₹5, On First and Final Call = ₹1.

Step 2: Determine the forfeiture conditions.
1,500 shares were forfeited immediately after the allotment, and the first and final call was not made. At the time of forfeiture, the Share Capital Account is debited by the amount that was credited earlier for the forfeited shares.

Step 3: Calculate the amount credited to Share Capital Account for forfeited shares.
For each forfeited share, the following amounts had been credited to the Share Capital Account:
Application money = ₹4, Allotment money = ₹5.
Thus, the total credited amount per share is:
Total credited per share = ₹4 + ₹5 = ₹9.
For 1,500 forfeited shares, the total amount debited to Share Capital Account is:
Total Debited = 1,500 × 9 = ₹13,500.

Step 4: Finalize the answer.
The Share Capital Account will be debited by ₹13,500 at the time of forfeiture.

Question 12:

Assertion (A): Irredeemable debentures are also known as perpetual debentures.

  1. Debited to calls in advance account
  2. Credited to calls in advance account
  3. Debited to share capital account
  4. Credited to share capital account
Correct Answer: (2) Credited to calls in advance account.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Definition of calls in advance: Calls in advance refer to the amount received from shareholders before the call is made by the company's directors.

Step 2: Accounting treatment: This amount is considered a liability until the call is made and is credited to the Calls in Advance Account.

Question 14(a):

A share of ₹100 on which ₹80 is received is forfeited for non-payment of the final call of ₹20. The minimum price at which this share can be reissued is:

  1. ₹120
  2. ₹100
  3. ₹80
  4. ₹20
Correct Answer: (4) ₹20.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Rules for reissue of forfeited shares: As per the Companies Act, forfeited shares can be reissued at a price not less than the unpaid amount.

Step 2: Calculate the unpaid amount: Unpaid amount = ₹100 (face value) - ₹80 (amount received) = ₹20.

Step 3: Determine the minimum price: The minimum price for reissue is ₹20, which is the unpaid amount on the share.

Question 14(b):

Shiv Ltd. forfeited 500 shares of ₹10 each on which ₹7 per share was paid. These shares were reissued for ₹9 per share fully paid. Amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account will be:

  1. ₹3,000
  2. ₹5,000
  3. ₹4,500
  4. ₹3,500
Correct Answer: (1) ₹3,000
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the total amount forfeited.
The amount paid on forfeited shares was ₹7 per share. For 500 shares, the total amount forfeited is:
Total Forfeited Amount = 500 × 7 = ₹3,500.

Step 2: Calculate the total amount reissued.
The shares were reissued for ₹9 per share. For 500 shares, the total amount reissued is:
Total Reissued Amount = 500 × 9 = ₹4,500.

Step 3: Determine the total nominal value and premium.
The nominal value of each share is ₹10. Since the shares were reissued for ₹9 per share, the loss on reissue per share is:
Loss on Reissue = ₹10 - ₹9 = ₹1 per share.
For 500 shares, the total loss is:
Total Loss = 500 × 1 = ₹500.

Step 4: Calculate the amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account.
The amount forfeited is adjusted against the loss on reissue. The remaining balance is transferred to the Capital Reserve Account:
Capital Reserve = Total Forfeited Amount – Total Loss.
Substituting the values:
Capital Reserve = ₹3,500 - ₹500 = ₹3,000.

Step 5: Finalize the answer.
The amount transferred to the Capital Reserve Account is ₹3,000.

Step 3: Find the gaining ratio:
Gain = New Share - Old Share.
- Anju's gain = 2548 - 2448 = 148. - Divya's gain = 1548 - 1648 = -148.

The gaining ratio between Anju and Divya is 3 : 1.

Question 16(b):

Mita, Veena, and Atul were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3 : 2 : 1. Atul retired, and his share was taken over by Mita and Veena in the ratio 1 : 4. The new profit-sharing ratio between Mita and Veena after Atul's retirement will be:

  1. 3 : 2
  2. 8 : 7
  3. 7 : 3
  4. 2 : 3
Correct Answer: (2) 8 : 7.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculate Atul's share: Atul's share = 16 (as total ratio = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6).

Step 2: Distribute Atul's share between Mita and Veena:
- Mita's additional share = 15 × 16 = 130.
- Veena's additional share = 45 × 16 = 430 = 215.

Step 3: Calculate new profit-sharing ratios:
- Mita's new share = 36 + 130 = 1530 + 130 = 1630 = 815.
- Veena's new share = 26 + 430 = 1030 + 430 = 1430 = 715.

The new profit-sharing ratio between Mita and Veena is 8 : 7.

Question 17:

Aamir, Bashir, and Chirag were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3 : 3 : 2. Chirag retired. Aamir and Bashir decided to share profits and losses in future in the ratio 1 : 2. On the day of Chirag's retirement, goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹5,40,000. Calculate gaining ratio and pass necessary journal entry to record the treatment of goodwill (without opening goodwill account) on Chirag's retirement.

Correct Answer: Gaining Ratio = 1 : 7.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Determine the old profit-sharing ratio:
Old ratio = 3 : 3 : 2. - Aamir's old share = 38, Bashir's old share = 38, Chirag's old share = 28.

Step 2: Determine the new profit-sharing ratio: New ratio = 1 : 2. - Aamir's new share = 13, Bashir's new share = 23.

Step 3: Calculate the gaining ratio:
Gaining ratio = New share - Old share.
- Aamir's gain = 13 - 38 = 824 - 924= -124 (no gain).
- Bashir's gain = 23 - 38 = 1624 - 924 = 724.

Question 18:

Pearl and Ruby were partners in a firm with a combined capital of ₹2,50,000. The normal rate of return was 10%. The profits of the last four years were as follows:

2019-2020: ₹35,000

2020-2021: ₹25,000

2021-2022: ₹32,000

2022–2023: ₹33,000.

The closing stock for the year 2022–2023 was overvalued by ₹5,000. Calculate goodwill of the firm based on three years' purchase of the last four years' average super profit.

Correct Answer: ₹15,000.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Adjust the profits for 2022–2023: The profit for 2022–2023 is adjusted for the overvaluation of stock:
Adjusted profit for 2022–2023 = ₹33,000 - ₹5,000 = ₹28,000.

Step 2: Calculate the average profit for four years:
Profits (after adjustment): 2019–2020: ₹35,000, 2020–2021: ₹25,000, 2021–2022: ₹32,000, 2022–2023: ₹28,000
Average Profit = Sum of ProfitsNumber of Years
Average Profit = 35,000 + 25,000 + 32,000 + 28,0004 = 1,20,0004 = ₹30,000.

Step 3: Calculate normal profit: Normal profit is based on the normal rate of return (10 %)
Normal Profit = ₹2,50,000 × 10100 = ₹25,000.

Step 4: Determine the super profit:
Super Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit.
Super Profit = ₹30,000 – ₹25,000 = ₹5,000.

Step 5: Calculate goodwill: Goodwill is based on three years' purchase of super profit:
Goodwill = Super Profit × 3 = ₹5,000 × 3 = ₹15,000.
Goodwill of the firm = ₹15,000.

Correct Answer: Issued 15,000 debentures at ₹120 each.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the issue price of debentures:
- Face value of each debenture = ₹100.
- Premium = 20% of ₹100 = ₹20.
- Issue price = ₹100 + ₹20 = ₹120 per debenture.

Question 20(a):

Mohan, Suhaan, and Adit were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3 : 2 : 1. Their fixed capitals were ₹2,00,000, ₹1,00,000, and ₹1,00,000 respectively. For the year ended 31st March 2023, interest on capital was credited to their accounts @8% p.a. instead of 5% p.a. Pass necessary adjusting journal entry.

Correct Answer: Excess interest of ₹12,000 to be adjusted.
View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the correct interest on capital: Correct rate of interest = 5%.
- Mohan: ₹2,00,000 × 5100 = ₹10,000. - Suhaan: ₹1,00,000 × 5100 = ₹5,000. - Adit: ₹1,00,000 × 5100 = ₹5,000.
Total correct interest = ₹10,000 + ₹5,000 + ₹5,000 = ₹20,000.

Step 2: Calculate the credited interest on capital:
Credited rate of interest = 8%. - Mohan: ₹2,00,000 × 8100 = ₹16,000.
- Suhaan: ₹1,00,000 × 8100= ₹8,000.
- Adit: ₹1,00,000 × 8100 = ₹8,000.
Total credited interest = ₹16,000 + ₹8,000 + ₹8,000 = ₹32,000.

Step 3: Calculate the excess interest credited: Excess interest = Total credited interest - Total correct interest:
Excess interest = ₹32,000 - ₹20,000 = ₹12,000.

Step 4: Adjust excess interest through profit-sharing ratio 3 : 2 : 1: - Mohan's share of adjustment = 36 × ₹12,000 = ₹6,000. - Suhaan's share of adjustment = 26 × ₹12,000 = ₹4,000. - Adit's share of adjustment = 16 × ₹12,000 = ₹2,000.

• Goodwill:
Goodwill of the Firm = Average Profits × Years' Purchase
Goodwill = 90,000 × 3 = 2,70,000
Varsha's Share of Goodwill: 2,70,000 × 510= 1,35,000

• Varsha's Share of Profit: Profit till the date of death is calculated proportionally to sales:
Profit Ratio = Sales during the periodTotal Sales × Profit for the year

View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculate Robit's Entitlements - Capital Account Balance: ₹20,000 (as given).
- General Reserve: 15 × ₹60,000 = ₹12,000.
- Interest on Capital:
Interest = ₹20,000 × 10100 × 312 = ₹500.
- Goodwill Calculation :
Goodwill of the firm = Average Profit × 3 (as given) = ₹14,000 × 3 = ₹42,000.
Robit's Share of Goodwill = 15 × ₹42,000 = ₹8,400.

Step 2: Share of Profits up to the Date of Death:
Profit for 2022–23 = ₹15,000 (last year's profit).
Profit for 3 months = ₹15,000 × 312= 3,750.
Robit's Share of Profit = 15 × ₹3,750 = ₹750.

Step 3: Total Amount Payable to Robit's Legal Representatives:
Capital Balance: ₹20,000.
Add: Share of General Reserve: ₹12,000.
Add: Interest on Capital: ₹500.
Add: Share of Goodwill: ₹8,400.

Question 25(a):

Qumtan Ltd. invited applications for issuing 1,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each at a premium of ₹6 per share. The amount was payable as follows:

• On Application and Allotment: ₹8 per share (including premium ₹3).

• On First and Final Call: Balance (including premium).

View Solution

Solution:
Additional Information: Applications for 1,60,000 shares were received. Applications for 10,000 shares were rejected, and pro-rata allotment was made to the remaining applicants. Excess money received on application was returned. Dheeraj, who was allotted 200 shares, failed to pay the first and final call money. His shares were forfeited and reissued at ₹5 per share fully paid-up.

Step 1: Calculation of Total Application Money Received
Total Shares Applied = 1,60,000, Application Money per Share = ₹8.
Total Money Received on Application = 1,60,000 × ₹8 = ₹12,80,000.

Step 2: Refund for Rejected Shares
Shares Rejected = 10,000, Refund Amount = 10,000 × ₹8 = ₹80,000.

Step 3: Pro-rata Allotment and Adjustments
Shares Allotted = 1,00,000, Excess Money Adjusted Toward Call.

Step 4: Forfeiture and Reissue Dheeraj failed to pay the first and final call for 200 shares.
Unpaid Amount (per share) = Face Value + Premium - Amount Already Paid.
Unpaid = (₹10 + ₹6 - ₹8) = ₹8 per share.
Forfeited Shares = 200, Total Unpaid = 200 × ₹8 = ₹1,600.
Shares reissued at ₹5 per share fully paid.

Question 25(b):

Printkit Limited invited applications for issue of 80,000 equity shares of ₹10 each. The amount was payable as follows:

• On Application: ₹3 per share

• On Allotment: ₹2 per share

• On First and Final Call: Balance

Additional Information: Applications for 1,50,000 shares were received. Applications for 10,000 shares were rejected, and pro-rata allotment was made to the remaining applicants as follows: - Category A: Applicants for 80,000 shares were allotted 40,000 shares. - Category B: Applicants for 60,000 shares were allotted 40,000 shares. Excess money received on application was adjusted toward the amount due on allotment and first and final call. All the amounts due on allotment and first and final call were duly received.

View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Calculation of Application Money Received
Total Shares Applied = 1,50,000, Application Money per Share = ₹3.
Total Money Received on Application = 1,50,000 × ₹3 = ₹4,50,000.

Step 2: Refund for Rejected Applications
Shares Rejected = 10,000, Refund Amount = 10,000 × ₹3 = ₹30,000.

Step 3: Pro-rata Allotment and Adjustments Category A: 80,000 applicants were allotted 40,000 shares (ratio 2 : 1). Excess money = 80,000 – 40,000 = 40,000 shares × ₹3 = ₹1,20,000.

Category B: 60,000 applicants were allotted 40,000 shares (ratio 3 : 2). Excess money = 60,000 - 40,000 = 20,000 shares × ₹3 = ₹60,000.
Total Excess Money Adjusted: ₹1,20,000 + ₹60,000 = ₹1,80,000.

Step 4: Allotment Money Due and Received
Allotment Money per Share = ₹2, Shares Allotted = 80,000.
Allotment Money Due = 80,000 × ₹2 = ₹1,60,000.
Excess Money Adjusted = ₹1,80,000; Allotment Due (₹1,60,000).
Excess Remaining After Allotment = ₹1,80,000 - ₹1,60,000 = ₹20,000.

Step 5: First and Final Call Money Due and Received
Call Money per Share = ₹5, Call Money Due = 80,000 × ₹5 = ₹4,00,000.
Excess Money Remaining (₹20,000) Adjusted Toward Call, Net Call Money Received = ₹4,00,000 - ₹20,000 = ₹3,80,000.

Question 26(a):

Shubhi and Revanshi were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. Their Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2023, was as follows:

Liabilities Amount (₹) Assets Amount (₹)
Capitals: Fixed Assets 90,000
Shubhi 60,000 Stock 38,000
Revanshi 32,000 Debtors 30,000
General Reserve 30,000 Cash 52,000
Bank Loan 18,000
Creditors 70,000
Total 2,10,000 Total 2,10,000

Adjustments:

1. Pari brings ₹50,000 as her capital and ₹50,000 as her share of premium for goodwill for 14 share in the profits of the firm.

2. Fixed assets were depreciated by 30%.

3. Stock was revalued at ₹45,000.

4. Bank loan was paid off.

5. Capitals of Shubhi and Revanshi were adjusted based on Pari's capital, with actual cash being paid or brought in.

View Solution

Solution: Step 1: Revaluation of Assets and Liabilities
Depreciation on Fixed Assets = 30% of ₹90,000 = ₹27,000.
Increase in Stock Value = ₹45,000 - ₹38,000 = ₹7,000.
Net Loss on Revaluation = ₹27,000 - ₹7,000 = ₹20,000.
Revaluation Loss Shared in Ratio 3:2: Shubhi = ₹12,000, Revanshi = ₹8,000.

Step 2: Goodwill Adjustment
Pari's Share in Profits = 14. Remaining Share = 34.
Total Goodwill = ₹50,000 (Pari's Contribution) × 4 = ₹2,00,000.
Shubhi's Share = 35 of ₹1,50,000 = ₹90,000.
Revanshi's Share = 25 of ₹1,50,000 = ₹60,000.

Premium for Goodwill Shared: Shubhi = ₹30,000, Revanshi = ₹20,000.

Step 3: Capital Adjustment Based on Pari's Capital
Pari's Capital = ₹50,000 (After Goodwill Adjustment).
Capitals of Shubhi and Revanshi Adjusted to Match Pari's Capital Proportionately.

Working Notes: 1. Revaluation Account:
- Decrease in fixed assets = 80,000 – 56,000 = 24,000.
- Increase in stock value = 26,000 – 20,000 = 6,000.
- Net revaluation loss = 24,000 – 6,000 = 18,000, shared in the ratio 1/2 : 1/6 : 1/3.
- Rishi's share = 1/2 × 18,000 = 10,000.
- Shashi's share = 1/6 × 18,000 = 3,000.
- Trishi's share = 1/3 × 18,000 = 6,000.

2. Goodwill Adjustment:
- Total goodwill = ₹18,000.
- Shashi's share = 18,000 × 1/6 = ₹3,000.
- Rishi and Trishi compensate Shashi:
- Rishi's share = 3,000 × (1/2)/(1/2 + 1/3) = 12,000.
- Trishi's share = 3,000 × (1/3)/(1/2 + 1/3) = 6,000.

3. Capital Adjustment:
Shashi's capital balance is transferred to her loan account.

PART B (Analysis of Financial Statements) OPTION I

Question 27:

The Quick Ratio of a company is 1 : 2. Which of the following transactions will result in an increase in this ratio?

  1. Cash received from debtors
  2. Sold goods on credit
  3. Purchased goods on credit
  4. Purchased goods on cash
Correct Answer: (4) Purchased goods on cash.
View Solution

Solution: The Quick Ratio is calculated as:
Quick Ratio = Quick AssetsCurrent Liabilities

- Quick Assets include assets like cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable but exclude inventory and prepaid expenses.
- Current Liabilities include liabilities like accounts payable, short-term loans, and other short-term obligations.

When goods are purchased on cash:
- Inventory (a non-quick asset) increases, and cash (a quick asset) decreases by the same amount.
- Current liabilities are unaffected.
Thus, the Quick Ratio increases as non-quick assets are replaced with quick assets.

Question 28:

Identify which of the following transactions will result in ‘Cash Inflow From Operating Activities':

  1. Payment to creditors
  2. Interest received by a non-finance company
  3. Dividend received by a non-finance company
  4. Amount received from debtors
Correct Answer: (4) Amount received from debtors.
View Solution

Solution: Cash Inflows from Operating Activities refer to the cash generated from the primary business operations of a company.
Examples include:
- Cash received from customers for goods or services rendered.
- Receipts from debtors as part of credit sales collections.

In this case, the amount received from debtors represents cash collection for goods or services sold, which is directly related to operating activities.
Other options (like dividends and interest) fall under investing activities unless the entity is a financial institution. Payments to creditors are classified as cash outflows for operating activities.
