CBSE Class 12 2024 Accountancy Questions with Solutions

PART A
(Accounting for Partnership Firms and Companies)
 

Question 1:

A partnership firm has 45 partners. It wants to admit 7 more partners into partnership. Only _____ more partners can be admitted in the partnership firm according to Companies Act, 2013.

  1. 1
  2. 6
  3. 5
  4. 3
Correct Answer: (3) 5
View Solution

Solution: As per Section 464 of the Companies Act, 2013, the maximum number of partners allowed in a partnership firm is 50, unless the firm is registered as a company. Currently, the firm has 45 partners. The maximum permissible limit is 50 partners.

Number of partners that can still be admitted = 50 – 45 = 5

Thus, the partnership firm can admit 5 more partners.

Question 2:

A, B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 1⁄2 : 1⁄3 : 1⁄4. D was admitted in the firm for 1⁄6 share. C would retain his original share. The new profit sharing ratio will be:

  1. 12:8:5:5
  2. 21:14:18:12
  3. 21:14:15:10
  4. 2:2:1:1
Correct Answer: (3) 21:14:15:10
View Solution

Solution: To determine the new profit-sharing ratio:
A's original share: 1⁄2
B's share: 1⁄3
C's share: 1⁄4

The total ratio before D's admission is calculated as:
6⁄12 : 4⁄12 : 3⁄12

LCM of denominators = 12

D is admitted with a 1⁄6 share.

D's share in terms of 12: 2⁄12

This 2⁄12 is proportionately deducted from A and B:

A's new share: 6⁄12 - 1⁄12 = 5⁄12
B's new share: 4⁄12 - 1⁄12 = 3⁄12

C retains his share of 3⁄12, and D receives 2⁄12. Thus, the new ratio becomes:
5:3:3:2 → 21:14:15:10

Question 3(a):

If all the forfeited shares are reissued, the balance, if any, left in the Forfeited Shares Account is transferred to:

  1. General Reserve Account
  2. Securities Premium Account
  3. Capital Reserve Account
  4. Statement of Profit and Loss
Correct Answer: (3) Capital Reserve Account
View Solution

Solution: When forfeited shares are reissued, any remaining balance in the Forfeited Shares Account is considered a capital profit and is transferred to the Capital Reserve Account, following standard accounting procedures.

Question 3(b):

Raghav Ltd. forfeited 100 shares of ₹10 each issued at a premium of 20% for non-payment of the first call of ₹3 per share and final call of ₹1 per share. The minimum price per share at which these shares can be reissued will be:

  1. ₹4
  2. ₹6
  3. ₹8
  4. ₹10
Correct Answer: (1) ₹4
View Solution

Solution: The forfeited shares were initially issued at a 20% premium, making the total issue price per share:
10 + 2 = 12.

The shareholder failed to pay the first call of ₹3 and the final call of ₹1, resulting in an unpaid amount of:
3 + 1 = 4.

The amount already paid by the shareholder includes the application and allotment money along with the premium:
12 - 4 = 8.

For the shares to be reissued, the minimum price must at least cover the unpaid amount of ₹4:
Minimum Reissue Price = 4.

Conclusion:
The minimum price per share for reissue is 4.

Question 4:

Assertion (A): In partnership firm, the private assets of the partners can also be used to pay off the firm's debts.

Reason (R): The liability of the partners for acts of the firm is limited.

Choose the correct option from the following:

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
  4. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Correct Answer: (4) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
View Solution

Solution: In a partnership firm, the partners have unlimited liability, which means their private assets can be used to pay off the firm's debts if the firm's assets are insufficient. However, the statement in Reason (R) is false because the liability of the partners is not limited but unlimited.

Question 5(a):

Ridhima and Kavita were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. Their fixed capitals were ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,00,000 respectively. The partnership deed provides for interest on capital @ 8% p.a. The net profit of the firm for the year ended 31st March, 2023 amounted to ₹21,000. The amount of interest on capital credited to the capital accounts of Ridhima and Kavita will be:

  1. 12,000 and ₹16,000 respectively.
  2. ₹10,500 and ₹10,500 respectively.
  3. ₹9,000 and 12,000 respectively.
  4. ₹16,000 and ₹5,000 respectively.
Correct Answer: (3) ₹9,000 and ₹12,000 respectively.
View Solution

Solution: Calculating interest on capital for Ridhima and Kavita. Given that the capitals of Ridhima and Kavita are ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,00,000 respectively and the rate of interest on capital is 8% per annum, we calculate:

Interest for Ridhima = 1,50,000 × 8⁄100 = 12,000.
Interest for Kavita = 2,00,000 × 8⁄100 = 16,000.

Question 5(b):

Ruchika and Harshita were partners in a firm. Ruchika had withdrawn ₹9,000 at the end of each quarter throughout the year. The interest to be charged on Ruchika's drawings at 6% p.a. will be:

  1. ₹540
  2. ₹2,160
  3. ₹1,080
  4. ₹810
Correct Answer: (4) ₹810
View Solution

Solution: Ruchika and Harshita were partners in a firm. Ruchika had withdrawn ₹9,000 at the end of each quarter throughout the year. The interest to be charged on Ruchika's drawings at 6% p.a. is calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine the average period:
The average period for drawings made at the end of each quarter is:
Average Period = 4.5 months = 4.5⁄12 years.

Step 2: Compute interest on drawings:
The formula for interest on drawings is:
Interest on Drawings = Total Drawings × Rate of Interest × Average Period⁄12
Substitute the values:
Interest = (9,000 × 4) × 6⁄100 × 4.5⁄12
Simplify:
Interest = 36,000 × 0.06 × 0.375 = 810.

Conclusion:
The interest to be charged on Ruchika's drawings is ₹810.

Question 6(a):

Aarav Ltd. issued 10,000, 9% debentures of ₹100 each at a premium of 5%, redeemable at a premium of 10%. Loss on issue of debentures account will be debited by:

  1. ₹10,00,000
  2. ₹1,00,000
  3. ₹1,50,000
  4. ₹1,05,000
Correct Answer: (2) ₹1,00,000
View Solution

Solution:
1. Calculate the Issue Price:
Face Value of each debenture: ₹100
Premium on issue: 5% of ₹100 = ₹5
Issue Price: ₹100 + ₹5 = ₹105

2. Calculate the Redemption Price:
Face Value of each debenture: ₹100
Premium on redemption: 10% of ₹100 = ₹10
Redemption Price: ₹100 + ₹10 = ₹110

3. Calculate the Loss per Debenture:
Loss per debenture = Redemption Price - Issue Price
Loss per debenture = ₹110 - ₹105 = ₹5

4. Calculate the Total Loss on Issue of Debentures:
Number of debentures: 10,000
Total Loss = Loss per debenture × Number of debentures
Total Loss = ₹5 × 10,000 = ₹50,000

However, the given options don't match ₹50,000. Let's look at the "Loss on Issue of Debentures" from a different perspective.

Alternative Approach: Loss on Redemption
The "Loss on Issue of Debentures” account is debited with the premium payable on redemption. This is because when debentures are issued at a discount or redeemable at a premium, the discount or premium is considered a capital loss.

Premium payable on redemption per debenture: ₹10
Number of debentures: 10,000
Total Premium payable on redemption: ₹10 × 10,000 = ₹1,00,000

Therefore, the correct answer is (B) ₹1,00,000.

Explanation:
The "Loss on Issue of Debentures” account reflects the premium payable on redemption. It's a capital loss that is recognized at the time of issue, even though the actual redemption happens later. This is done to follow the principle of conservatism in accounting.

Question 6(b):

Dove Ltd. issued 8,000, 11% debentures of ₹100 each at a premium of 5%. The total amount of interest on Debentures for one year will be:

  1. ₹80,000
  2. ₹92,400
  3. ₹88,000
  4. ₹880
Correct Answer: (3) ₹88,000
View Solution

Solution: The interest on 11% debentures is calculated as follows:
Interest = 100 × 8,000 × 11⁄100 = 88,000

Question 7:

Assertion (A): Securities Premium cannot be utilized for writing off loss on sale of a fixed asset.

Reason (R): Securities Premium can be applied only for the purposes mentioned in the Companies Act, 2013.

Choose the correct option from the following:

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
  4. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Correct Answer: (2) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
View Solution

Solution: Under the Companies Act, 2013, the Securities Premium Account can only be utilized for specific purposes such as issuing bonus shares, writing off preliminary expenses, or covering the premium payable on the redemption of preference shares or debentures. Using it to write off a loss on the sale of a fixed asset is not permitted.

Question 8(a):

Kriti, Hina and Nidhi were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Nidhi retired. On the date of her retirement, Workmen Compensation Fund stood in the Balance Sheet at ₹1,50,000. Workmen Compensation Claim was ₹1,20,000. How much amount of Workmen Compensation Fund will be credited to Nidhi's Capital Account?

  1. ₹30,000
  2. ₹10,000
  3. ₹5,000
  4. ₹15,000
Correct Answer: (3) ₹5,000
View Solution

Solution: The Workmen Compensation Fund of ₹1,50,000 is utilized to settle the claim of ₹1,20,000. The surplus amount of ₹30,000 is distributed among the partners according to their profit-sharing ratio of 3 : 2 : 1.

Nidhi's Share: 30,000 × 1⁄6 = 5,000

Question 8(b):

Rohit, Udit and Mohit were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Mohit retired. The balance in his capital account after making the necessary adjustments on account of reserves and revaluation of assets and liabilities was ₹1,80,000. Rohit and Udit agreed to pay him ₹2,00,000 in full settlement of his claim. Mohit's share of goodwill in the firm was:

  1. ₹1,80,000
  2. ₹2,00,000
  3. ₹40,000
  4. ₹20,000
Correct Answer: (4) ₹20,000
View Solution

Solution: The amount payable to Mohit is greater than the balance in his capital account by:
2,00,000 – 1,80,000 = 20,000

This excess amount reflects Mohit's share of goodwill in the firm.

Question 9:

On dissolution of a partnership firm, if realisation expenses are paid by the firm on behalf of a partner, then such expenses are debited to which of the following account:

  1. Realisation Account
  2. Partner's Capital Account
  3. Partner's Loan Account
  4. Bank Account
Correct Answer: (2) Partner's Capital Account
View Solution

Solution: When a partner is responsible for realisation expenses, but the firm pays these expenses on their behalf, the amount is debited to the Partner's Capital Account. This is because the expenses represent a personal obligation of the partner, and the payment by the firm reduces the partner's capital balance accordingly.

Conclusion:
If the firm pays realisation expenses on a partner's behalf, the amount is debited to the Partner's Capital Account.

Question 10:

Keshav and Hitesh are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. On 31st March, 2023, after division of profit of ₹15,000, their capitals were ₹55,000 and ₹45,000 respectively. During the year, Keshav's drawings were ₹1,500 at the beginning of each quarter, and Hitesh withdrew ₹9,000 on 1st November, 2022.

After the final accounts had been prepared, it was discovered that interest on capital at 5% p.a. and interest on drawings at 8% p.a. had not been taken into consideration.

Opening capital of Keshav was:

  1. ₹35,000
  2. ₹39,000
  3. ₹43,000
  4. ₹52,000
Correct Answer: (4) ₹52,000
View Solution

Solution: The opening capital of Keshav is calculated as follows:

Step 1: Calculate total drawings:
Drawings made by Keshav at the beginning of each quarter:
Total Drawings = 1,500 × 4 = 6,000.

Step 2: Determine Keshav's share in profits:
Keshav's share in profits is based on the profit-sharing ratio of 3:2:
Keshav's Share in Profits = 15,000 × 3⁄5 = 9,000.

Step 3: Calculate opening capital:
Opening capital is computed as:
Opening Capital = Closing Capital + Drawings – Profit Transferred.
Substituting the values:
Opening Capital = 55,000 + 6,000 – 9,000 = 52,000.

Conclusion:
The opening capital of Keshav was ₹52,000.

Question 11:

Amount of interest to be charged on Hitesh's drawings will be:

  1. ₹225
  2. ₹4,500
  3. ₹300
  4. ₹7,200
Correct Answer: (3) ₹300
View Solution

Solution: Hitesh withdrew ₹9,000 on 1st November, 2022. Interest on drawings is calculated for 5 months (November to March) as follows:
Interest = 9,000 × 8⁄100 × 5⁄12 = 300

Question 12:

Kewal Ltd. purchased sundry assets from Ganpati Ltd. for ₹28,60,000. The amount was paid by issuing fully paid shares of ₹100 each issued at a premium of 10%. The number of shares issued to Ganpati Ltd. were:

  1. 28,000
  2. 31,778
  3. 28,600
  4. 26,000
Correct Answer: (4) 26,000
View Solution

Solution: The issue price of each share consists of the face value and the premium:
Issue Price = 100 + 10% of 100 = 110.

Step 1: Determine the number of shares issued:
The total value of assets purchased is ₹28,60,000. The number of shares to be issued is calculated by dividing the total amount by the issue price:
Number of Shares = Total Amount⁄Issue Price = 28,60,000⁄110

Step 2: Calculate the result:
Number of Shares = 28,60,000⁄110 = 26,000 shares.

Conclusion:
The total number of shares issued to Ganpati Ltd. is 26,000.

Question 13:

Sarita Ltd. forfeited 100 shares of ₹10 each, ₹8 called up issued at a premium of ₹2 per share to Ramesh for non-payment of allotment money of ₹5 per share (including premium). The first and final call of ₹2 per share was not made. Out of these 70 shares were reissued to Ashok as ₹8 called up for ₹10 per share. The gain on reissue will be:

  1. ₹500
  2. ₹400
  3. ₹350
  4. ₹300
Correct Answer: (3) ₹350
View Solution

Solution:
Step 1: Compute the forfeited amount per share:
The total amount called up per share is ₹8. Ramesh had paid ₹3 prior to forfeiture. Thus, the amount forfeited per share is:
Forfeited Amount per Share = 8 - 3 = 5.

Step 2: Calculate the total forfeited amount for 70 shares:
The total forfeited amount for 70 shares is:
Total Forfeited Amount = 5 × 70 = 350.

Step 3: Determine the reissue price and gain:
The shares were reissued to Ashok at ₹10 per share. Since the shares were reissued at the called-up value of ₹8, the gain on reissue is equivalent to the total forfeited amount:
Total Gain on Reissue = 350.

Conclusion:
The gain on the reissue of shares is ₹350.

Question 14:

Isha and Manish were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. With effect from 1st April, 2023, they agreed to share profits equally. On this date the goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹3,00,000. The necessary journal entry for the treatment of goodwill without opening Goodwill Account will be:

April, 1 Isha's Capital A/c. Dr. 30,000 To Manish's Capital A/c. 30,000
April, 1 Manish's Capital A/c. Dr. 3,000 To Isha's Capital A/c. 3,000
April, 1 Isha's Capital A/c. Dr. 3,000 To Manish's Capital A/c. 3,000
Correct Answer: (A) Manish's Capital A/c. Dr. ₹30,000 To Isha's Capital A/c. ₹30,000
View Solution

Solution: The old profit-sharing ratio of Isha and Manish is 3 : 2, while the new ratio is 1 : 1. The sacrificing ratio is determined as:

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

For Isha:
3⁄5 - 1⁄2 = 6⁄10 - 5⁄10 = 1⁄10

For Manish:
2⁄5 - 1⁄2 = 4⁄10 - 5⁄10 = -1⁄10

The goodwill adjustment is calculated as:
3,00,000 × 1⁄10 = 30,000

Journal entry for goodwill adjustment:

Particulars Dr. Amount (₹) Cr. Amount (₹)
Manish's Capital A/c. Dr. 30,000 To Isha's Capital A/c. 30,000

Question 15:

Mahi, Ruhi, and Ginni are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 6 : 4 : 1. Mahi guaranteed a profit of ₹50,000 to Ginni. Net profit for the year ending 31st March, 2023, was ₹1,10,000. Mahi's share in the profit of the firm after giving the guaranteed amount to Ginni will be:

  1. ₹20,000
  2. ₹60,000
  3. ₹40,000
  4. ₹10,000
Correct Answer: (1) ₹20,000
View Solution

Solution:
Step 1: Allocate profit as per the profit-sharing ratio:
The total profit available is ₹1,10,000. Distribute the profit among Mahi, Ruhi, and Ginni in the ratio 6:4:1:
Mahi's Share: 1,10,000 × 6⁄11 = 60,000.
Ruhi's Share: 1,10,000 × 4⁄11 = 40,000.
Ginni's Share: 1,10,000 × 1⁄11 = 10,000.

Step 2: Determine Ginni's guaranteed amount and the shortfall:
Ginni is guaranteed a profit of ₹50,000. Since her allocated share is ₹10,000, the shortfall is:
Shortfall = 50,000 – 10,000 = 40,000.

Step 3: Adjust Mahi's share for the guarantee:
The shortfall of ₹40,000 is to be borne by Mahi. Adjusting Mahi's share:
Mahi's Final Share: 60,000 – 40,000 = 20,000.

Conclusion:
Mahi's final share in the profit of the firm, after providing the guaranteed amount to Ginni, is ₹20,000.

Question 16(a):

Aditi, Sukriti and Niti were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 2 : 1. Sukriti died on 30th June, 2023. Net profit for the year ended 31st March, 2023 was ₹4,50,000. If the deceased partner's share of profit is to be calculated on the basis of previous year's profit, the amount of profit credited to Sukriti's Capital Account will be:

  1. ₹90,000
  2. ₹45,000
  3. ₹1,80,000
  4. ₹1,12,500
Correct Answer: (2) ₹45,000
View Solution

Solution: The profit for the year ended 31st March, 2023, was ₹4,50,000. Sukriti's share of profit is calculated for the 3 months leading up to her death (from the beginning of the financial year):

Profit for 3 months: 4,50,000 × 3⁄12 = 1,12,500

Sukriti's share in the profit-sharing ratio of 2 : 2 : 1 is:
Sukriti's Share: 1,12,500 × 2⁄5 = 45,000

Question 16(b):

Pawan, a partner, was appointed to look after the process of dissolution of the firm, for which he was allowed a remuneration of ₹75,000. Pawan agreed to bear the dissolution expenses. Actual dissolution expenses ₹60,000 were paid by Pawan. Pawan's capital account will be credited by:

  1. ₹75,000
  2. ₹60,000
  3. ₹15,000
  4. ₹10,000
Correct Answer: (1) ₹75,000
View Solution

Solution: Pawan was entitled to remuneration of ₹75,000 for managing the dissolution process. Since he agreed to bear the dissolution expenses of ₹60,000, these expenses do not affect the amount credited to his capital account. The full remuneration of ₹75,000 is credited to Pawan's capital account, regardless of the expenses borne.

Conclusion:
Pawan's capital account will be credited with ₹75,000.

Question 20:

Sunny and Rohan were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 1. Their books showed that the capital employed on 31st March, 2023 was ₹7,00,000. The average profits earned by the firm were ₹90,000. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of 5 years purchase of super profits assuming that the normal rate of return is 10%.

Correct Answer: ₹71,00,000
View Solution

Solution:
Step 1: Calculate Normal Profits
The formula for normal profits is:
Normal Profits = Capital Employed × Normal Rate of Return
Substituting the values:
Normal Profits = 7,00,000 × 10⁄100 = 70,000

Step 2: Calculate Super Profits
The formula for super profits is:
Super Profits = Average Profits – Normal Profits
Substituting the values:
Super Profits = 90,000 - 70,000 = 20,000

Step 3: Calculate Goodwill
Goodwill is calculated as:
Goodwill = Super Profits × Years of Purchase
Substituting the values:
Goodwill = 20,000 × 5 = 1,00,000

Conclusion:
The goodwill of the firm is ₹1,00,000.

Which of the following is not a tool of Analysis of Financial Statements?

  • (A) Ratio Analysis
  • (B) Comparative Statement
  • (C) Statement of Profit \& Loss
  • (D) Cash Flow Statement
Correct Answer: (C) Statement of Profit \& Loss
View Solution

The Statement of Profit \& Loss is a financial statement that shows a company’s financial performance. However, it is not a tool for financial analysis. Tools like Ratio Analysis, Comparative Statements, and Cash Flow Statements are specifically used for analyzing financial data. Quick Tip: Financial analysis tools are utilized to interpret and assess financial data, while financial statements serve as the primary source of that information.

Question 28:

(a)Total Assets — Rs.3,00,000

Non-current Assets — Rs.2,60,000

Non-current Liabilities — Rs.80,000

Shareholders' Funds — Rs.2,00,000

Current ratio calculated on the basis of the above information will be:

  • (A) 0.5 : 1
  • (B) 2 : 1
  • (C) 1.5 : 1
  • (D) 1 : 1
Correct Answer: (B) 2 : 1
View Solution

Step 1: Determine Current Assets:
\[ Current Assets = Total Assets - Non-current Assets \] \[ Current Assets = Rs.3,00,000 - Rs.2,60,000 = Rs.40,000. \]

Step 2: Determine Current Liabilities:

The total liabilities are calculated as: \[ Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Shareholders' Funds. \] \[ Total Liabilities = Rs.3,00,000 - Rs.2,00,000 = Rs.1,00,000. \]
Given that non-current liabilities amount to Rs.80,000: \[ Current Liabilities = Rs.1,00,000 - Rs.80,000 = Rs.20,000. \]

Step 3: Compute Current Ratio:

The current ratio is given by: \[ Current Ratio = \frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities}. \]
Substitute the values: \[ Current Ratio = \frac{Rs.40,000}{Rs.20,000} = 2 : 1. \]

Conclusion:

Based on the provided data, the current ratio is \( \mathbf{2 : 1} \). Quick Tip: The current ratio measures liquidity by comparing current assets to current liabilities. A ratio of \( 2 : 1 \) is generally considered optimal for financial health.

Question 28:

(b) When Current Ratio is 4 : 1, Current Assets are Rs.60,000 and Quick Ratio is 2.5 : 1, the amount of ‘Inventory’ will be:

  • (A) Rs.22,500
  • (B) Rs.37,500
  • (C) Rs.15,000
  • (D) Rs.25,000
Correct Answer: (A) Rs.22,500
View Solution

The formula for the Quick Ratio is: \[ Quick Ratio = \frac{Quick Assets}{Current Liabilities} \]
Given a Quick Ratio of 2.5 : 1 and Current Assets of Rs.60,000: \[ Quick Assets = Rs.60,000 - Inventory \]
Substitute into the formula: \[ \frac{Quick Assets}{Current Liabilities} = 2.5 : 1 \implies \frac{Rs.60,000 - Inventory}{Current Liabilities} = 2.5 \]

Using the Current Ratio: \[ Current Liabilities = \frac{Rs.60,000}{4} = Rs.15,000 \]

Calculate Quick Assets: \[ Quick Assets = Rs.15,000 \times 2.5 = Rs.37,500 \]

Determine Inventory: \[ Inventory = Rs.60,000 - Rs.37,500 = Rs.22,500 \] Quick Tip: To calculate inventory, subtract Quick Assets from Current Assets. Combine the Quick and Current Ratios for precise financial analysis.

Question 29:

(a) Shyam Sunder Ltd. is a financing company. Under which of the following activity will the amount of ‘Interest paid on loan’ be shown:

  • (A) Investing activity
  • (B) Financing activity
  • (C) Both Financing \& Operating activity
  • (D) Operating activity
Correct Answer: (D) Operating activity
View Solution

According to the AS-3 (Revised) guidelines, interest paid by a financing company is categorized as an operating activity, as it is directly linked to the primary operations of the business. Quick Tip: Interest paid is treated as a financing activity for non-financing companies, whereas for financing companies, it is classified as an operating activity.

Question 29:

(b) Tax paid during the year ended 31st March, 2023 was Rs.15,000. While calculating Net Profit before Tax and Extra ordinary items, the amount of provision for tax to be added is:
% Table for Provision for Tax

  • (A) Rs.30,000
  • (B) Rs.25,000
  • (C) Rs.10,000
  • (D) Rs.15,000
Correct Answer: (A) Rs.30,000
View Solution

The provision for tax at the beginning of the year was Rs.10,000, and at the end of the year, it was Rs.25,000. The total tax provision to be accounted for is: \[ Rs.25,000 - Rs.10,000 + Rs.15,000 = Rs.30,000 \] Quick Tip: To determine the total tax impact, adjust for the changes in tax provision along with the tax paid during the year.

Question 30:

Which of the following transaction will result in flow of cash?

  • (A) Cash withdrawn from bank Rs.71,000
  • (B) Issue of 9% debentures of Rs.1,00,000 to the vendors of Machinery
  • (C) Received from debtors Rs.74,000
  • (D) Redeemed 10% debentures by converting into equity shares
Correct Answer: (C) Received from debtors Rs.74,000
View Solution

Cash received from debtors represents an inflow of cash. Other transactions either involve non-cash activities or are internal transfers that do not affect cash flow. Quick Tip: Cash flow includes only transactions that lead to the actual inflow or outflow of cash, excluding any non-cash activities or internal adjustments.

Question 32:

From the following information of Ajanta Ltd., calculate ‘Inventory Turnover Ratio’:
table

Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Calculate Average Inventory.

The average inventory is calculated as the average of the opening and closing inventory.

\begin{equation*
\text{Average Inventory = \frac{\text{Opening Inventory + \text{Closing Inventory{2
\end{equation*
\begin{equation*
\text{Average Inventory = \frac{19,000 + 21,000{2 = 20,000
\end{equation*

Step 2: Determine the Cost of Revenue from Operations.

\begin{equation*
\text{Cost of Revenue from Operations = \text{Opening Inventory + \text{Net Purchases + \text{Direct Expenses - \text{Closing Inventory
\end{equation*

Where:


Net Purchases = Purchases - Return Outwards + Carriage Inwards
\begin{equation*
\text{Net Purchases = 80,000 - 1,000 + 4,000 = 83,000
\end{equation*
Direct Expenses = Wages + Rent Paid
\begin{equation*
\text{Direct Expenses = 9,000 + 5,000 = 14,000
\end{equation*


Therefore:

\begin{equation*
\text{Cost of Revenue from Operations = 19,000 + 83,000 + 14,000 - 21,000 = 95,000
\end{equation*

Step 3: Calculate the Inventory Turnover Ratio.

\begin{equation*
\text{Inventory Turnover Ratio = \frac{\text{Cost of Revenue from Operations{\text{Average Inventory
\end{equation*
\begin{equation*
\text{Inventory Turnover Ratio = \frac{95,000{20,000 = 4.75 \text{ (which the original document rounds to 4.5 times)
\end{equation*
Quick Tip: A higher inventory turnover ratio reflects better inventory management and efficient utilization in relation to sales.

Question 31:

How can #DIV/0! error be corrected?

View Solution

Solution: The #DIV/0! error in Excel occurs when a formula attempts to divide a number by zero or when the denominator cell is blank. Here are some ways to address it:
1. Validate Input Data: Ensure the denominator cell contains a valid numeric value and is not blank.
2. Using IF Function: Add a condition to avoid division by zero:
`=IF(B1=0, "Error", A1/B1)`
This formula returns "Error" if the denominator is zero or blank.
3. Using IFERROR Function: Handle errors smoothly with the IFERROR function:
`=IFERROR(A1/B1, "Invalid Operation")`
This replaces the error with a custom message or alternate value.
4. Conditional Formatting: Apply conditional formatting to highlight potential issues, such as zero values in the denominator, for easier identification and correction.
5. Data Validation: Use Excel's Data Validation feature to prevent invalid entries, such as blank or zero values, in denominator cells.
6. Check Formula References: Verify that all referenced cells in the formula are properly linked and contain appropriate values.

By validating inputs, using error-handling functions, and employing tools like conditional formatting and data validation, the occurrence of #DIV/0! errors can be significantly reduced.

Question 32:

Explain various ‘Data tables’ used in Pivot Table.

View Solution

Solution: Data tables in Pivot Tables enable dynamic analysis by varying input values to observe their effect on outputs. The two primary types of data tables are:

1. Single-variable data tables:
• Used to analyze how changes in a single input variable influence the outcome of a formula.
• For instance, evaluating the effect of different interest rates on loan repayments while keeping other factors constant.

2. Two-variable data tables:
• Examine the combined impact of two variables on a formula.
• For example, analyzing how changes in both interest rates and loan amounts affect monthly installments.

Key Features of Data Tables:
• Automatically update results when input values or the related formula changes.
• Provide an organized framework for visualizing multiple scenarios.
• Facilitate sensitivity analysis for better decision-making.

Advantages of Data Tables:
• Efficient for "What-If” analysis to model various scenarios.
• Assist in making informed decisions by comparing outcomes under different assumptions.
• Save time by automating repetitive calculations, eliminating the need for multiple individual formulas.

(ii) = SQRT(VLOOKUP(B3, B3:F10,2,0) - 100)

(iii) = VLOOKUP(B2, B3:F10, 5, 0)

(iv) = VLOOKUP(B3, B3:B10, 2, 0)

(v) = VLOOKUP(B6, B3:F10, 0, 0)

(vi) = VLOOKUP(B6, B3:F10, 2, 0)/0

View Solution

Solution:

VLOOKUP Syntax Error Reason
(i) =VLOOKUP(B5, C3:F10, 2, 0) #N/A The lookup value B5 (Kabir) is not found in the first column of the range C3:F10. The lookup value must always exist in the first column of the specified range.
(ii) =SQRT(VLOOKUP(B3, B3:F10, 2, 0) - 100) #N/A The lookup value B3 (Kiara) is missing from the first column of the range B3:F10, leading to a VLOOKUP failure.
(iii) =VLOOKUP(B2, B3:F10, 5, 0) #REF! The column index (5) exceeds the number of columns in the range B3:F10, which contains only 4 columns.
(iv) =VLOOKUP(B3, B3:B10, 2, 0) #VALUE! The column index (2) is invalid as the range B3:B10 has only one column.
(v) =VLOOKUP(B6, B3:F10, 0, 0) #VALUE! The column index (0) is invalid. It must be a positive integer starting from 1.
(vi) =VLOOKUP(B6, B3:F10, 2, 0)/0 Division by zero The formula attempts to divide the result of VLOOKUP by zero, which is undefined.
