CBSE Class 12 2024 Accountancy Questions with Solutions

PART A
(Accounting for Partnership Firms and Companies)

Question 1:

(a) Ridhima and Kavita were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. Their fixed capitals were Rs. 1,50,000 and Rs. 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 Rs. 21,000. The amount of interest on capital credited to the capital accounts of Ridhima and Kavita will be:

  • (A) Rs. 12,000 and Rs. 16,000 respectively.
  • (B) Rs. 10,500 and Rs. 10,500 respectively.
  • (C) Rs. 9,000 and Rs. 12,000 respectively.
  • (D) Rs. 16,000 and Rs. 5,000 respectively.
Correct Answer: (C) Rs. 9,000 and Rs. 12,000 respectively.
View Solution

Ridhima's and Kavita's fixed capitals are Rs. 1,50,000 and Rs. 2,00,000, respectively.
According to their partnership agreement, they receive an annual interest of 8% on their capital. \[ Calculated interest for Ridhima = Rs. 1,50,000 \times \frac{8}{100} = Rs. 12,000 \] \[ Calculated interest for Kavita = Rs. 2,00,000 \times \frac{8}{100} = Rs. 16,000 \]
The total profit of the firm is Rs. 21,000, which is not enough to cover the total interest on capital, amounting to Rs. 28,000.
Therefore, the profit is apportioned based on their respective interest entitlements: \[ Proportion of interest entitlements = Rs. 12,000 : Rs. 16,000 = 3 : 4 \] \[ Proportional interest for Ridhima = Rs. 21,000 \times \frac{3}{7} = Rs. 9,000 \] \[ Proportional interest for Kavita = Rs. 21,000 \times \frac{4}{7} = Rs. 12,000 \] Quick Tip: Allocate profit according to the interest entitlement ratio when the available profit does not suffice for the total interest on the capital.

Question 1:

(b) Ruchika and Harshita were partners in a firm. Ruchika had withdrawn Rs. 9,000 at the end of each quarter throughout the year.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:

  • (A) Rs. 540
  • (B) Rs. 2,160
  • (C) Rs. 1,080
  • (D) Rs. 810
Correct Answer: (D) Rs. 810
View Solution

% Option
(A) Calculate Total Drawings:
\begin{align*
\text{Total Drawings &= \text{Drawings per Quarter \times \text{Number of Quarters

&= Rs.9,000 \times 4

&= Rs.36,000
\end{align*

% Option
(B) Determine the Average Period:
Since Ruchika withdrew at the end of each quarter, the average period is:
\begin{align*
\text{Average Period &= \frac{\text{Time left after first withdrawal + \text{Time left after last withdrawal{2

&= \frac{9 \text{ months + 0 \text{ months{2

&= 4.5 \text{ months
\end{align*

% Option
(C) Convert Average Period to Years:
\begin{align*
\text{Average Period in Years &= \frac{4.5 \text{ months{12 \text{ months/year

&= 0.375 \text{ years
\end{align*

% Option
(D) Calculate Interest on Drawings:
\begin{align*
\text{Interest on Drawings &= \text{Total Drawings \times \text{Interest Rate \times \text{Average Period (Years)

&= Rs.36,000 \times 0.06 \times 0.375

&= Rs.810
\end{align*


Therefore, the interest to be charged on Ruchika's drawings is Rs.810.

Answer: (D) Rs.810 Quick Tip: To determine the interest on periodic drawings, it's crucial to apply the average time span accurately. For withdrawals made at each quarter's end, this timeframe is typically 7.5 months.


Question 2:


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:

  • (A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct reason of Assertion (A).
  • (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct reason of Assertion (A).
  • (C) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
  • (D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Correct Answer: (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct reason of Assertion (A).
View Solution

According to the Companies Act, 2013, the Securities Premium Account may be used for specific purposes including issuing bonus shares, offsetting preliminary expenses, and covering premiums on the redemption of preference shares and debentures. It does not permit the utilization of these funds for losses incurred from the sale of fixed assets. Quick Tip: For detailed guidance on the allowable uses of the Securities Premium Account, consult Section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013.


Question 3:


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

  • (A) 28,000
  • (B) 31,778
  • (C) 28,600
  • (D) 26,000
Correct Answer: (D) Rs. 26,000
View Solution

Ganpati Ltd. received a payment of Rs. 28,60,000, with each share having a face value of Rs. 100.
The selling price per share = Rs. 100 + 10% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 110. \[ Number of shares issued = \frac{Total Payment Received}{Selling Price per Share} = \frac{Rs. 28,60,000}{Rs. 110} = 26,000 shares. \] Quick Tip: When calculating the issue price for shares sold at a premium, include both the face value and the additional premium in the total.


Question 4:

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

  • (A) Rs. 10,000
  • (B) Rs. 1,00,000
  • (C) Rs. 1,50,000
  • (D) Rs. 1,05,000
Correct Answer: (B) Rs. 1,00,000
View Solution

The loss on the issuance of debentures is mainly attributed to the premium required for redemption. This amount is recorded in the Loss on Issue of Debentures account.
\[ Loss on Issue of Debentures = Redemption Premium - Issue Premium \]
\[ = (10,000 \times 10) - (10,000 \times 5) \]
\[ = 1,00,000 - 0 \]
\[ = Rs. 1,00,000 \]

Consequently, the Loss on Issue of Debentures account will be charged with Rs.1,00,000. Quick Tip: Consider the premium on redemption as an additional borrowing cost that gets debited to the Loss on Issue of Debentures account, whereas the premium on issue serves as a financial gain.


OR
Question 4:

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

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

Solution:
A total of 8,000 debentures were issued, each with a face value of Rs. 100.
The annual interest rate is set at 11%.
Total Interest Expense = Aggregate Face Value of Debentures × Annual Interest Rate
Total Interest Expense = Rs. (8,000 × 100) × 11100 = Rs. 88,000


Read the following hypothetical situation and answer question numbers 5 and 6:

Keshav and Hitesh are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. On 31st March, 2023 after division of profit of Rs. 15,000, their capitals were Rs. 55,000 and Rs. 45,000 respectively. During the year, Keshav’s drawings were Rs. 1,500 at the beginning of each quarter and Hitesh withdrew Rs. 9,000 on 1st November, 2022. After the final accounts have been prepared, it was discovered that interest on capital @ 5% p.a. and interest on drawings @ 8% p.a. have not been taken into consideration.


Question 5:  

Opening capital of Keshav was:

  • (A) Rs. 35,000
  • (B) Rs. 39,000
  • (C) Rs. 43,000
  • (D) Rs. 52,000
Correct Answer: (D) Rs. 52,000
View Solution

% Option
(A) Calculate Keshav's Share of Profit:
\begin{align*
\text{Keshav's Share of Profit &= \frac{\text{Keshav's Ratio{\text{Total Ratio \times \text{Total Profit

&= \frac{3{3+2 \times Rs.15,000

&= \frac{3{5 \times Rs.15,000

&= Rs.9,000
\end{align*

% Option
(B) Calculate Keshav's Total Drawings:
\begin{align*
\text{Total Drawings &= \text{Drawings per Quarter \times \text{Number of Quarters

&= Rs.1,500 \times 4

&= Rs.6,000
\end{align*

% Option
(C) Calculate Keshav's Opening Capital:
\begin{align*
\text{Opening Capital &= \text{Closing Capital + \text{Drawings - \text{Profit Share

&= Rs.55,000 + Rs.6,000 - Rs.9,000

&= Rs.61,000 - Rs.9,000

&= Rs.52,000
\end{align*


Therefore, Keshav's opening capital was Rs.52,000.

Answer: (D) Rs.52,000 Quick Tip: To determine the opening capital in partnership accounts, always account for profit sharing, drawings, and any accrued interests on these drawings.


Question 6:

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

  • (A) Rs. 225
  • (B) Rs. 4,500
  • (C) Rs. 300
  • (D) Rs. 7,200
Correct Answer: (C) Rs. 300
View Solution

Interest on Hitesh's drawing of Rs.9,000 made on 1st November 2022 is calculated for the period until 31st March 2023 (5 months), using the 8% annual interest rate: \[ \frac{8}{100} \times \frac{5}{12} \times 9,000 = Rs.300. \] Quick Tip: When calculating interest on drawings, remember to adjust the calculation based on the period the money was withdrawn and the annual interest rate. Timing of withdrawals significantly affects the interest calculation in partnership accounts.


Question 7:


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 Rs.3,00,000. The necessary journal entry for the treatment of goodwill without opening Goodwill Account will be:


\end{figure

Correct Answer: (A) Manish’s Capital A/c. Dr. Rs.30,000 To Isha’s Capital A/c. Rs.30,000
View Solution

The initial sharing ratio of Isha and Manish was 3 : 2, which has been altered to 1 : 1. To calculate the ratio of sacrifice: \[ Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio \]
For Isha: \[ \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{10} - \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{10} \]
For Manish: \[ \frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{10} - \frac{5}{10} = -\frac{1}{10} \]
Adjustment for goodwill is calculated as: \[ Rs.3,00,000 \times \frac{1}{10} = Rs.30,000 \]
The corresponding journal entry to record this adjustment is: \[ \begin{array}{|l|c|c|} \hline \textbf{Particulars} & \textbf{Dr. Amount (Rs.)} & \textbf{Cr. Amount (Rs.)}
\hline Manish’s Capital A/c Dr. & 30,000 &
\hline To Isha’s Capital A/c & & 30,000
\hline \end{array} \] Quick Tip: Adjustments for changes in partnership profit-sharing ratios, such as goodwill, are handled directly through partners' capital accounts, often bypassing the need for a separate goodwill account.


Question 8:


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 Rs. 50,000 to Ginni. Net profit for the year ending 31st March, 2023 was Rs. 1,10,000. Mahi’s share in the profit of the firm after giving the guaranteed amount to Ginni will be:

  • (A) Rs. 20,000
  • (B) Rs. 60,000
  • (C) Rs. 40,000
  • (D) Rs. 10,000
Correct Answer: (A) Rs. 20,000
View Solution

1. Overall profit for the partnership = Rs. 1,10,000

2. Profit distribution ratio among Mahi, Ruhi, and Ginni = 6:4:1

3. Profit allocated according to the ratio:
\[ Mahi's portion = \frac{6}{11} \times 1,10,000 = Rs. 60,000 \]
\[ Ruhi's portion = \frac{4}{11} \times 1,10,000 = Rs. 40,000 \]
\[ Ginni's portion = \frac{1}{11} \times 1,10,000 = Rs. 10,000 \]
4. Guaranteed minimum profit for Ginni = Rs. 50,000. Ginni's calculated share is Rs. 10,000.
- Mahi needs to cover the shortfall = \( 50,000 - 10,000 = 40,000 \).

- This amount will be subtracted from Mahi’s initial share.

5. Adjusted profit share for Mahi after fulfilling the guarantee:

\[ Adjusted share for Mahi = Rs. 60,000 - Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 20,000. \]

Therefore, Mahi's final share amounts to Rs. 20,000 (Option A). Quick Tip: When a partner guarantees another's profit, any deficit under the guaranteed amount is compensated by the guaranteeing partner prior to any remaining profit distribution.


Question 9:


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

  • (A) Rs. 500
  • (B) Rs. 400
  • (C) Rs. 350
  • (D) Rs. 300
Correct Answer: (C) Rs. 350
View Solution

1. Revenue from reissuing 70 shares:
\[ = 70 \times Rs. 10 = Rs. 700 \]

2. Original total called-up amount before reissue:
\[ = 70 \times Rs. 8 = Rs. 560 \]

3. Calculating gain on reissue:
\[ Profit on Reissue = Amount Received from Reissue - Original Called-Up Amount \]
\[ = Rs. 700 - Rs. 560 = Rs. 140 \]

4. Forfeiture details per share before reissue:
- Called-up amount per share = Rs. 8 (excluding final call)
- Amount paid initially by Ramesh = Application fee (Rs. 3)
- Outstanding balance = Allotment fee (Rs. 5)
- Included but unpaid premium amount (Rs. 2) from the allotment (not considered in forfeiture)
- Forfeited amount per share = Rs. 3
- Total forfeiture for 70 shares = \( 70 \times 3 = Rs. 210 \)

5. Comprehensive gain on reissue:
\[ Overall Profit = Profit on Reissue + Total Forfeited Amount \]
\[ = Rs. 140 + Rs. 210 = Rs. 350 \]

Consequently, the correct response is Rs. 350 (Option C). Quick Tip: To compute the gain from reissuing forfeited shares, subtract the original called-up value from the reissue proceeds and add any forfeitures retained.


Question 10:


Assertion (A): In a 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:

  • (A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  • (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  • (C) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
  • (D) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Correct Answer: (D) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
View Solution

Within a partnership, partners bear unlimited liability, meaning if the firm's assets are inadequate for covering its debts, partners' personal assets may be utilized to meet the outstanding liabilities. The assertion in Reason (R) is inaccurate because it suggests that partners in a partnership have limited liability, whereas their liability is actually unlimited. Quick Tip: Remember, partners in a partnership are subject to unlimited liability, which contrasts with the limited liability extended to company shareholders based on their investment.


Question 11:

(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 Rs. 4,50,000. If the deceased partner’s share of profit is to be calculated on the basis of the previous year’s profit, the amount of profit credited to Sukriti’s Capital Account will be:
\begin{flushleft

  • (A) Rs. 90,000
  • (B) Rs. 45,000
  • (C) Rs. 1,80,000
  • (D) Rs. 1,12,500
Correct Answer: (B) Rs. 45,000
View Solution

1. Total Annual Profit of the Firm = Rs. 4,50,000

2. Profit Sharing Ratio for Sukriti = \( \frac{2}{5} \)
\[ Sukriti's Share of Annual Profit = 4,50,000 \times \frac{2}{5} = Rs. 1,80,000 \]
3. Profit Allocation for the Quarter (1st April to 30th June 2023):
The profit calculated reflects a full year's earnings; thus, we compute Sukriti’s share for the three-month period of April to June:
\[ Quarterly Share for Sukriti = 1,80,000 \times \frac{3}{12} \]
\[ = 1,80,000 \times \frac{1}{4} = Rs. 45,000 \]

Hence, the amount to be credited to Sukriti’s Capital Account totals Rs. 45,000 (Option B). Quick Tip: Pro-rate a deceased partner’s profit share according to their active participation duration within the fiscal year.


OR
Question 11:

(b) Pawan, a partner, was appointed to look after the process of dissolution of the firm for which he was allowed a remuneration of Rs. 75,000. Pawan agreed to bear the dissolution expenses. Actual dissolution expenses Rs. 60,000 were paid by Pawan. Pawan’s capital account will be credited by:
\begin{flushleft

  • (A) Rs. 75,000
  • (B) Rs. 60,000
  • (C) Rs. 15,000
  • (D) Rs. 10,000
Correct Answer: (A) Rs. 75,000
View Solution

1. Fixed remuneration approved for Pawan = Rs. 75,000

2. Pawan consented to cover the dissolution costs.

3. Total dissolution expenses paid by Pawan = Rs. 60,000
4. Impact on Pawan’s Capital Account:

- Pawan’s capital account should be credited with the agreed remuneration of Rs. 75,000 for managing the dissolution, regardless of the actual expenses.

- The expenses of Rs. 60,000 that Pawan paid are his responsibility and do not alter the remuneration amount credited to him.


Therefore, Pawan’s capital account will receive a credit of Rs. 75,000 (Option A). Quick Tip: A partner assigned a fixed compensation for dissolution tasks is credited that full amount in their capital account, irrespective of the actual dissolution costs.


Question 12:


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.

  • (A) 1
  • (B) 6
  • (C) 5
  • (D) 3
Correct Answer: (C) 5
View Solution

Section 464 of the Companies Act, 2013, stipulates that a partnership firm can include no more than 50 partners unless it converts into a registered company.
Currently, the firm comprises 45 partners.
The limit set by law is 50 partners. \[ Capacity for additional partners = 50 - 45 = 5 \]
Thus, the firm can admit only 5 more partners. Quick Tip: Under the Companies Act, 2013, the upper limit for partners in a non-registered partnership firm is 50.


Question 13:

(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 Rs. 1,50,000. Workmen Compensation Claim was Rs. 1,20,000. How much amount of Workmen Compensation Fund will be credited to Nidhi’s Capital Account?
\begin{flushleft

  • (A) Rs. 30,000
  • (B) Rs. 10,000
  • (C) Rs. 5,000
  • (D) Rs. 15,000
Correct Answer: (C) Rs. 5,000
View Solution

1. Workmen Compensation Fund as per the Balance Sheet = Rs. 1,50,000

2. Workmen Compensation Claim = Rs. 1,20,000

3. Surplus Available for Distribution
\[ = Rs. 1,50,000 - Rs. 1,20,000 = Rs. 30,000 \]
4. Nidhi’s Share of the Surplus (Profit Sharing Ratio: 3:2:1)

\[ Nidhi’s Share = \frac{1}{6} \times Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 5,000 \]

Thus, the amount to be credited to Nidhi’s Capital Account is Rs. 5,000 (Option C). Quick Tip: When distributing the Workmen Compensation Fund after a partner’s retirement, subtract the compensation claim first, then divide the remaining amount based on the partners’ profit-sharing ratio.


OR
Question 13:

(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 Rs. 1,80,000. Rohit and Udit agreed to pay him Rs. 2,00,000 in full settlement of his claim. Mohit’s share of goodwill in the firm was:
\begin{flushleft

  • (A) Rs. 1,80,000
  • (B) Rs. 2,00,000
  • (C) Rs. 40,000
  • (D) Rs. 20,000
Correct Answer: (D) Rs. 20,000
View Solution

1. Balance in Mohit’s Capital Account after adjustments = Rs. 1,80,000
2. Total amount agreed to be paid in full settlement = Rs. 2,00,000
3. Mohit’s Share of Goodwill Calculation:
\[ Mohit’s Share of Goodwill = Final Settlement Amount - Capital Account Balance \]
\[ = Rs. 2,00,000 - Rs. 1,80,000 = Rs. 20,000 \]

Thus, Mohit’s share of goodwill in the firm is Rs.20,000 (Option D). Quick Tip: When a partner retires and receives an amount higher than their capital account balance, the difference represents their share of goodwill.


Question 14:


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

  • (A) 12 : 8 : 5 : 5
  • (B) 21 : 14 : 18 : 12
  • (C) 21 : 14 : 15 : 10

Therefore, the new profit-sharing ratio is 21:14:15:10.

Answer: (C) 21:14:15:10 Quick Tip: In partnership adjustments, always calculate the new ratios by proportionately deducting the given share from the existing partners' shares.


Question 15:

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

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

When forfeited shares are reissued, the remaining balance in the Forfeited Shares Account is transferred to the Capital Reserve Account.
This balance represents a capital profit, which arises from the difference between the calls not paid on forfeited shares and the amount reissued, thus being recorded as capital profit in the Capital Reserve.

Hence, the balance remaining in the Forfeited Shares Account is moved to the Capital Reserve Account. Quick Tip: When reissuing forfeited shares, any remaining balance in the Forfeited Shares Account is typically credited to the Capital Reserve Account as capital profit.

Question 15:

(b) Raghav Ltd. forfeited 100 shares of Rs. 10 each issued at a premium of 20% for non-payment of first call of Rs. 3 per share and final call of Rs. 1 per share. The minimum price per share at which these shares can be reissued will be:
\begin{flushleft

  • (A) Rs. 4
  • (B) Rs. 6
  • (C) Rs. 8
  • (D) Rs. 10
Correct Answer: (A) Rs. 4
View Solution

1. The face value of each share = Rs. 10
2. The premium on issue = Rs. 2
3. Total amount due per share (Face Value + Premium)
\[ = Rs. 10 + Rs. 2 = Rs. 12 \]
4. Total unpaid amount per share
\[ = Rs. 3 (First Call) + Rs. 1 (Final Call) = Rs. 4 \]
5. Forfeited amount per share
\[ = Total Due - Unpaid Amount = Rs. 12 - Rs. 4 = Rs. 8 \]
6. Minimum price at which forfeited shares can be reissued
- The reissue price for forfeited shares must be at least equal to the forfeited amount per share.
- The maximum discount on reissue is the forfeited amount of Rs. 8.
- Therefore, the minimum price per share:
\[ = Face Value - Maximum Discount = Rs. 10 - Rs. 6 = Rs. 4 \]

Thus, the minimum reissue price per share is Rs. 4 (Option A). Quick Tip: The minimum reissue price for forfeited shares is calculated by subtracting the maximum discount (which equals the forfeited amount) from the face value.


Question 16:

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:

  • (A) Realisation Account
  • (B) Partner’s Capital Account
  • (C) Partner’s Loan Account
  • (D) Bank Account
Correct Answer: (B) Partner’s Capital Account
View Solution

1. Realisation expenses are generally paid from the Realisation Account when the firm bears the cost.

2. However, if a partner has agreed to cover the realisation expenses and the firm pays them on their behalf, these expenses are debited to the Partner’s Capital Account, reducing the partner's capital balance.

3. This ensures that the financial responsibility for the expenses remains with the designated partner, rather than impacting the firm’s accounts.


Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Partner’s Capital Account. Quick Tip: When a partner agrees to pay realisation expenses but the firm settles them, the amount is debited to the partner’s capital account.


Question 17:

Question 18:

(a) Mahesh, Ramesh and Naresh were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. From 1st April, 2023, they decided to share profits equally. On that date, there was a balance of Rs.3,60,000 in General Reserve and a debit balance of Rs.1,80,000 in the Profit and Loss Account. Pass single adjustment Journal entry for the above on account of change in the profit-sharing ratio.

Correct Answer:
View Solution

The profit-sharing ratio has been altered from 5 : 3 : 2 to an equal sharing ratio of 1 : 1 : 1. As a result, the balances in the General Reserve and Profit and Loss Account need to be adjusted in the partners' capital accounts:
\[ General Reserve Distribution: Rs.3,60,000 \times (Old Ratio 5:3:2) \] \[ Profit and Loss Debit: Rs.1,80,000 distributed in the same ratio. \]

Question 20:


Maira and Shreya were partners in a firm. They earned an average profit of Rs. 2,00,000 during the last few years. The normal rate of profit in the similar type of business is 10%. The value of assets and liabilities of the business were Rs. 18,00,000 and Rs. 3,00,000 respectively. Calculate the value of goodwill of the firm by super profit method if it is valued at 3 years purchase of super profit.

Correct Answer:
View Solution

To determine goodwill using the super profit method, undertake the following steps:

1. Determine the capital employed: \[ Capital Employed = Total Assets - External Liabilities = Rs. 18,00,000 - Rs. 3,00,000 = Rs. 15,00,000 \]

2. Compute the normal profit: \[ Normal Profit = Capital Employed \times Expected Rate of Profit \] \[ Normal Profit = Rs. 15,00,000 \times 10% = Rs. 1,50,000 \]

3. Determine the super profit: \[ Super Profit = Actual Profit - Normal Profit \] \[ Super Profit = Rs. 2,00,000 - Rs. 1,50,000 = Rs. 50,000 \]

4. Estimate the goodwill: \[ Goodwill = Super Profit \times Years of Purchase \] \[ Goodwill = Rs. 50,000 \times 3 = Rs. 1,50,000 \]

% Final Answer
The goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 1,50,000. Quick Tip: When using the super profit method for goodwill calculation, it's calculated by multiplying the super profit (the excess profit over the expected normal profit) by the agreed number of years of purchase.

Purav died on 30th September, 2023. According to Partnership deed, his legal representatives are entitled to the following:

  • (i) Balance in his Capital Account.
    (ii) Share of profit up to the date of death to be calculated on the basis of last year’s profit.
    (iii) Share of goodwill calculated on the basis of three years purchase of average profits of last four years.
    (iv) Interest on capital @12% p.a.
  • Purav’s share of profit was 3,000, and the average profit of the last four years was 50,000. Purav’s drawings up to the date of death were 10,000. Prepare Purav’s Capital Account to be rendered to his legal representatives.
Correct Answer:
View Solution

Step 1: Calculate Goodwill
Goodwill = Average Profits × Years of Purchase \[ Rs.50,000 \times 3 = Rs.1,50,000 \]
Purav’s entitlement to goodwill (1/5 of the total): \[ Rs.1,50,000 \times \frac{1}{5} = Rs.30,000 \]

Step 2: Compute Interest on Capital
Interest on capital for a six-month period: \[ Rs.40,000 \times 12% \times \frac{6}{12} = Rs.2,400 \]

Step 3: Determine Purav’s Profit Share
Based on last year's profits: \[ Purav’s Entitled Profit = Rs.3,000 \]

Question 27:

(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

1. The classification of interest paid on loans varies between financing and non-financing companies.

2. For financing companies, such as Shyam Sunder Ltd., interest expenses are considered part of operating expenses because these are central to their primary business activities of earning and managing interest.

3. According to Accounting Standard AS-3 (Cash Flow Statements), interest paid is categorized as:

- An operating activity for financial institutions and banks.

- A financing activity for non-financial companies.

4. Therefore, for Shyam Sunder Ltd., which operates as a financing company, the interest paid on loans should be recorded under operating activities in its cash flow statement.


Thus, the correct answer is:
(D) Operating activity. Quick Tip: Remember, in financial companies, interest paid and received is typically classified under Operating Activities, while in non-financial companies, interest paid is usually classified under Financing Activities.

table

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

1. Relevant Data:
- Provision for tax as of April 1, 2022 = Rs. 10,000
- Provision for tax as of March 31, 2023 = Rs. 25,000
- Tax payments made during the year = Rs. 15,000

2. Method to Determine the Tax Provision to be Added:
\[ Provision to be added = Tax payments during the year + Increase in provision \]

3. Calculation of Increase in Provision:
\[ = Rs. 25,000 - Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 15,000 \]

4. Calculation of Total Provision to be Added:
\[ = Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 15,000 = Rs. 30,000 \]

Therefore, the tax provision to be added totals Rs. 30,000 (Option A). Quick Tip: To accurately calculate Net Profit Before Tax, add the tax paid during the year to the increase in the tax provision.


Question 36:


Which of the following is not a tool of Analysis of Financial Statements?
\begin{flushleft

  • (B) Comparative Statement
  • (C) Statement of Profit \& Loss
  • (D) Cash flow Statement
Correct Answer: (C) Statement of Profit \& Loss
View Solution

Analysis of Financial Statements typically employs techniques such as ratio analysis, comparative statements, and cash flow analysis.
The Statement of Profit \& Loss is crucial for financial reporting but does not serve as an analytical tool in itself.

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

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

2. Determine Current Liabilities
\[ Current Liabilities = Total Liabilities - Non-current Liabilities \]
\[ = (Total Assets - Shareholders' Equity) - Non-current Liabilities \]
\[ = (Rs. 3,00,000 - Rs. 2,00,000) - Rs. 80,000 = Rs. 20,000 \]

3. Compute Current Ratio
\[ Current Ratio = \frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities} \]
\[ = \frac{Rs. 40,000}{Rs. 20,000} = 2 : 1 \]

Therefore, the current ratio is \( 2 : 1 \) (Option B). Quick Tip: To calculate the current ratio, first find the current assets by subtracting non-current assets from total assets, and then calculate current liabilities by subtracting non-current liabilities from total liabilities minus shareholders' equity.


OR
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

Step 1: Determine Current Liabilities

Using the Current Ratio formula: \[ Current Ratio = \frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities} = 4 : 1. \]
Given Current Assets = Rs. 60,000, calculate: \[ Current Liabilities = \frac{Current Assets}{Current Ratio} = \frac{Rs. 60,000}{4} = Rs. 15,000. \]

Step 2: Calculate Inventory using the Quick Ratio

The Quick Ratio is given as \( 2.5 : 1 \), with the formula: \[ Quick Ratio = \frac{Current Assets - Inventory}{Current Liabilities}. \]
Substitute the known values: \[ 2.5 = \frac{Rs. 60,000 - Inventory}{Rs. 15,000}. \]
Rearranging to solve for Inventory: \[ Rs. 60,000 - Inventory = Rs. 15,000 \times 2.5 = Rs. 37,500. \] \[ Inventory = Rs. 60,000 - Rs. 37,500 = Rs. 22,500. \]

Conclusion:

The Inventory is \( Rs. 22,500 \). Quick Tip: The Quick Ratio excludes inventory from current assets, focusing on the liquidity of readily available resources like cash and receivables.


Question 29:


Which of the following transactions will result in a 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

Withdrawing cash from the bank is merely an internal transfer and does not constitute an actual cash flow.
The issuance of debentures to vendors in exchange for machinery is a non-cash financing activity.
Receiving payments from debtors represents a true cash inflow and therefore is considered a cash flow.
Converting debentures into equity shares does not involve cash and is categorized as a non-cash transaction. Quick Tip: Only activities that involve the physical inflow or outflow of cash from the business are considered as cash flows.

Non-current Assets - Rs. 23,00,000

Correct Answer:
View Solution

Calculate Sales:
Using the Gross Profit Ratio:
\[ Sales = \frac{Gross Profit}{Gross Profit Ratio} = \frac{5,00,000}{0.25} = 20,00,000 \]

Determine Working Capital:
Working Capital calculation:
\[ Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities \]
\[ Current Assets = Shareholders' Funds + Non-current Liabilities - Non-current Assets \]
\[ Working Capital = (25,00,000 + 8,00,000) - 23,00,000 = 10,00,000 \]

Compute Working Capital Turnover Ratio:
\[ Working Capital Turnover Ratio = \frac{Sales}{Working Capital} = \frac{20,00,000}{10,00,000} = 2 times \] Quick Tip: The Working Capital Turnover Ratio is an indicator of the efficiency with which a company manages its working capital to generate sales. It's calculated by dividing Sales by Working Capital.
