CBSE Class 12 2024 Accountancy Questions with Solutions

PART A
(Accounting for Partnership Firms and Companies)

Question 1:

(a) Arnav Ltd. purchased assets worth Rs 24,00,000. It issued 9% debentures of Rs 100 each at a discount of 4% for payment of the purchase consideration. The number of debentures issued to the vendor were:

  • (A) 24,000
  • (B) 25,000
  • (C) 30,000
  • (D) 28,000
Correct Answer: (B) 25,000
View Solution

The total purchase consideration amounts to Rs 24,00,000. Given that the debentures are issued at a 4% discount, the issue price of each debenture is calculated as follows: \[ Issue Price = Rs 100 - (4% of Rs 100) = Rs 96 \]
The total number of debentures issued is determined by: \[ Number of Debentures = \frac{Purchase Consideration}{Issue Price} = \frac{Rs 24,00,000}{Rs 96} = 25,000 \]
Therefore, 25,000 debentures were issued to the vendor. Quick Tip: To find the number of debentures issued, divide the purchase consideration by the effective issue price per debenture, factoring in any discounts or premiums.


Question 1:

(b) On 1st May, 2023, Amrit Ltd. issued 10,000, 10% debentures of Rs 100 each at a premium of 10% redeemable at a premium of 10%. Loss on issue of debentures will be:

  • (A) Rs 2,00,000
  • (B) Rs 1,30,000
  • (C) Rs 1,00,000
  • (D) Rs 80,000
Correct Answer: (C) Rs 1,00,000
View Solution

Step 1: Calculate the Issue Price:

The issue price for each debenture is calculated as: \[ Issue Price = Rs 100 + 10% of Rs 100 = Rs 110 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Redemption Value:

The redemption value for each debenture is: \[ Redemption Value = Rs 100 + 10% of Rs 100 = Rs 110 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Loss on Issue of Debentures:

The loss on the issue of debentures arises from the premium on redemption. This loss is calculated as: \[ Loss on Issue = Number of Debentures \times Premium on Redemption \] \[ Loss on Issue = 10,000 \times Rs 10 = Rs 1,00,000 \]

Conclusion:

The total loss on the issue of debentures amounts to \( Rs 1,00,000 \). Quick Tip: A loss on the issue of debentures occurs when debentures are redeemed at a premium. This loss is treated as a capital expense and is typically amortized over the life of the debentures.


Question 2:

Gupta and Sharma are partners in a firm sharing profit in the ratio of 4:1. They admitted Preeti as a new partner for 1/4th share in the profits, which she acquired wholly from Gupta. New profit sharing ratio of Gupta, Sharma, and Preeti will be:

  • (A) 2:1:1
  • (B) 11:4:5
  • (C) 3:3:2
  • (D) 7:5:4
Correct Answer: (B) 11:4:5
View Solution

Gupta's share after giving 1/4th to Preeti is calculated as: \[ Gupta's New Share = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{16}{20} - \frac{5}{20} = \frac{11}{20} \]
Sharma's share remains unchanged: \[ Sharma's Share = \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{20} \]
Preeti's share is: \[ Preeti's Share = \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{20} \]
Thus, the new profit-sharing ratio is: \[ 11:4:5 \] Quick Tip: When making partnership adjustments, always recalculate the new ratios by proportionately reducing the existing partners' shares based on the given distribution.


Question 3:

On the disSolutions of a partnership firm there were debtors of Rs 34,000. Debtors of Rs 1,000 became bad and 60% was realized from the remaining debtors. Which account will be debited and by how much amount on the realization from debtors?

  • (A) Realisation A/c by Rs 33,000
  • (B) Profit \& Loss A/c by Rs 1,000
  • (C) Cash A/c by Rs 19,800
  • (D) Debtors A/c by Rs 14,200
Correct Answer: (C) Cash A/c by Rs 19,800
View Solution

The amount to be realized from debtors is calculated as: \[ Total Debtors - Bad Debts = Rs 34,000 - Rs 1,000 = Rs 33,000 \]
The amount realized is 60% of Rs 33,000: \[ Amount Realized = 60% \times Rs 33,000 = Rs 19,800 \]
Therefore, the Cash Account will be debited by Rs 19,800. Quick Tip: In dissolution accounts, bad debts are written off, and the amount realized is credited to the Cash Account according to the recovery percentage.


Question 4:


If vendors are issued fully paid shares of Rs. 1,25,000 in purchase consideration of net assets of Rs. 1,50,000, the balance of Rs. 25,000 will be credited to:

  • (A) Statement of Profit and Loss
  • (B) Goodwill Account
  • (C) Capital Reserve Account
  • (D) Profit and Loss Adjustment Account
Correct Answer: (C) Capital Reserve Account
View Solution

N/A Quick Tip: If the purchase consideration is less than the net assets acquired, the difference is transferred to the Capital Reserve Account, indicating the firm's gain from the purchase.

  • (C) 8% p.a.
  • (D) No interest on loan will be paid.
Correct Answer:(2) \(10% \text{ p.a.} \)
View Solution

According to the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, in the absence of a partnership deed or if the deed is silent, interest on a partner’s loan is paid at the rate of 6% per annum.


However, if the partnership deed specifies a different rate (as mentioned in the question: 10% p.a.), then the interest on the loan must be paid at that agreed-upon rate. Since Nisha had given the loan at 10% p.a., and if the partnership deed allows it, she is entitled to receive interest at this rate. Quick Tip: Keep in mind that under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, the default interest rate on a partner's loan is 6% per annum unless otherwise agreed in the partnership deed.

table

Rohan died on 30th September 2023. The partnership deed provided for the following adjustments:

  • (i) Goodwill was to be valued at two years' purchase of the average profit of the last three years. The profits for the last three years were: 2020-21: Rs. 45,000, 2021-22: Rs. 90,000, 2022-23: Rs. 1,35,000.
  • (ii) Deceased partner’s share of profit till the date of his death will be calculated on the basis of average profit of last three years.

    Prepare Rohan’s Capital Account to be rendered to his executors.
Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Calculation of Average Profit \[ Average Profit = \frac{45,000 + 90,000 + 1,35,000}{3} = \frac{2,70,000}{3} = 90,000. \]

Step 2: Calculation of Goodwill \[ Goodwill = 2 \times Average Profit = 2 \times 90,000 = 1,80,000. \]
Rohan’s share of goodwill (1/6th share): \[ \frac{1,80,000}{6} = 30,000. \]

Step 3: Calculation of Rohan’s Share of Profit till his Death

Rohan’s share in profits = \( \frac{1}{6} \)
Profit for 6 months (April to September): \[ Profit till death = \left(\frac{90,000}{12} \times 6\right) \times \frac{1}{6} = 7,500. \]

Step 4: Final Amount Payable to Rohan’s Executors
\[ Capital (as per balance sheet) = 3,00,000 \] \[ Add: Goodwill share = 30,000 \] \[ Add: Profit share till death = 7,500 \] \[ Total amount payable = 3,37,500. \] Quick Tip: \textbf{Key Rule:} - Goodwill is calculated based on the agreed years' purchase of average profit. - The deceased partner’s profit share is calculated on a time basis if nothing else is mentioned.
