  1. ₹ 52,80,000
  2. ₹ 55,00,000
  3. ₹ 50,00,000
  4. ₹ 48,00,000

Correct Answer: (A) ₹ 52,80,000.

View Solution

1. Number of shares applied = 48,000 shares.

2. Issue price per share = ₹ 110.

3. Total amount received on application: Amount Received = 48,000 × ₹ 110 = ₹ 52,80,000.


Question 2:

Lexa Ltd. issued 50,000 equity shares of ₹ 10 each at a premium of ₹ 2 per share. The amount was payable as follows: On application and allotment — ₹ 7 per share (including premium) On first and final call — Balance. The issue was fully subscribed. All the money was duly received except the first and final call on 1,000 equity shares. These shares were forfeited. On forfeiture of these shares, Calls in Arrears Account will be:

  1. Credited by ₹ 7,000
  2. Debited by ₹ 5,000
  3. Credited by ₹ 5,000
  4. Debited by ₹ 7,000

Correct Answer: (C) Credited by ₹ 5,000.

View Solution

1. Amount Payable on First and Final Call: Balance amount = ₹ 12 (total) - ₹ 7 (application and allotment) = ₹ 5.

2. Shares Forfeited: Number of shares forfeited = 1,000.

3. Unpaid Amount Calculation: Total unpaid amount = 1,000 × ₹ 5 = ₹ 5,000.

4. Treatment in Calls in Arrears Account: When shares are forfeited, the unpaid amount is credited to the Calls in Arrears Account: Calls in Arrears Account Credited = ₹ 5,000.


Question 3(a):

KLB Ltd. forfeited 3,000 shares of ₹ 10 each, ₹ 8 per share called up for non-payment of first call of ₹ 2 per share. All these shares were reissued at ₹ 7 per share, ₹ 8 paid up. The amount transferred to Capital Reserve Account will be:

  1. ₹ 18,000
  2. ₹ 24,000
  3. ₹ 15,000
  4. ₹ 3,000

Correct Answer: (C) ₹ 15,000.

View Solution

1. Forfeited Amount per Share: Amount already paid per share = ₹ 8 (called-up) - ₹ 2 (unpaid first call) = ₹ 6.

2. Total Forfeited Amount: Total forfeited amount = 3,000 × ₹ 6 = ₹ 18,000.

3. Loss on Reissue: Reissue price per share = ₹ 7. Paid-up value per share = ₹ 8. Loss per share on reissue = ₹ 8 - ₹ 7 = ₹ 1. Total loss on reissue = 3,000 × ₹ 1 = ₹ 3,000.

4. Amount Transferred to Capital Reserve: Amount transferred to Capital Reserve = Total forfeited amount - Loss on reissue: Capital Reserve = ₹ 18,000 - ₹ 3,000 = ₹ 15,000.


Question 3(b):

NUK Ltd. forfeited 1,000 shares of ₹ 10 each, fully called up for non-payment of final call of ₹ 2 per share. 800 of these shares were reissued at ₹ 11 per share fully paid. The amount credited to Capital Reserve Account will be:

  1. ₹ 6,400
  2. ₹ 8,000
  3. ₹ 7,200
  4. ₹ 10,000

Correct Answer: (A) ₹ 6,400.

View Solution

1. Forfeiture Amount per Share: Paid amount per share = ₹ 10 (fully called-up) - ₹ 2 (unpaid final call) = ₹ 8.

2. Total Forfeited Amount: Total forfeited amount for 1,000 shares = ₹ 8 × 1,000 = ₹ 8,000.

3. Reissue Details: Number of shares reissued = 800. Reissue price per share = ₹ 11. Total amount received from reissue = ₹ 11 × 800 = ₹ 8,800.

4. Capital Reserve Calculation: Forfeited amount on reissued shares = ₹ 8 × 800 = ₹ 6,400. The entire forfeited amount of the reissued shares is transferred to the Capital Reserve as no discount is given: Capital Reserve = ₹ 6,400.


Question 4:

The debentures which do not carry a specific rate of interest are called:

  1. Zero Coupon Rate Debentures
  2. Specific Coupon Rate Debentures
  3. Unsecured Debentures
  4. Secured Debentures

Correct Answer: (A) Zero Coupon Rate Debentures.

View Solution

Zero Coupon Rate Debentures do not offer periodic interest payments and are issued at a discount.

Question 6:

Assertion (A): When the shares are forfeited, share capital account is debited with the amount called up and credited to: (i) respective unpaid calls account i.e., calls in arrears and (ii) share forfeiture account with the amount already received on shares. Reason (R): When the shares are forfeited, all entries relating to the shares forfeited, except those relating to securities premium, already recorded in accounting records must be reversed.

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is incorrect, but Reason (R) is correct.
  4. Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is incorrect.

Correct Answer: (A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

View Solution

- When shares are forfeited, the amount previously called up (but unpaid) is debited from the Share Capital Account, and the following entries are made: 1. Calls in Arrears Account: Credited with unpaid call amounts. 2. Share Forfeiture Account: Credited with amounts already received.

- Additionally, forfeiture reverses prior entries related to the forfeited shares except those related to the securities premium, which is not reversed under any circumstance.

- Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).


Question 7:

Richa, Sheena, and Tapti were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. The partnership deed provided for charging interest on drawings at 10% p.a. The drawings of Richa, Sheena, and Tapti during the year ended 31st March 2023 amounted to ₹ 50,000, ₹ 40,000, and ₹ 30,000, respectively. The net profit for the year ended 31st March 2023 was ₹ 57,000.

  1. 5,000
  2. 4,000
  3. 3,000
  4. 2,000

Correct Answer: (C) ₹ 3,000

View Solution

Interest on drawings is calculated using the formula: Interest on Drawings = Total Drawings × Rate of Interest × Time.

Substituting Sheena’s drawings (₹ 40,000) and the rate (10%), we calculate the interest accordingly.


Question 8:

Based on the same partnership, calculate Tapti’s share of profit given the net profit and profit-sharing ratio of 3:2:1.

  1. 11,500
  2. 34,500
  3. 10,500
  4. 23,000

Correct Answer: (B) ₹ 34,500

View Solution

Share of profit is calculated using the formula: Share of Profit = Total Profit × Share Ratio.

Using Tapti’s share ratio (1/6) and the net profit (₹ 57,000), we calculate her share as ₹ 34,500.


Question 9(a):

Hema and Tara were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:3. They admitted Ojas as a new partner. Hema surrendered 1/3 of her share, and Tara surrendered 1/2 of her share in favor of Ojas. Determine the new profit-sharing ratio of Hema, Tara, and Ojas.

  1. 8:9:13
  2. 3:2:5
  3. 2:3:5
  4. 2:3:25

Correct Answer: (A) 8:9:13

View Solution

- Hema’s original share = 2/5; Tara’s original share = 3/5.

- Hema surrendered 1/3 of her share: 2/5 × 1/3 = 2/15. Tara surrendered 1/2 of her share: 3/5 × 1/2 = 3/10.

- Ojas’s share = 2/15 + 3/10 = 13/30. Remaining shares for Hema and Tara are 8/30 and 9/30, respectively.

- New ratio = 8:9:13.


Question 9(b):

Aaroh, Bhuvan, and Charu were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 1:2:6. Charu died. Aaroh and Bhuvan acquired Charu’s share in the ratio of 2:1. Determine the new profit-sharing ratio between Aaroh and Bhuvan.

  1. 2:1
  2. 1:2
  3. 5:4
  4. 4:5

Correct Answer: (C) 5:4

View Solution

- Aaroh’s original share = 1/9; Bhuvan’s original share = 2/9; Charu’s share = 6/9.

- Charu’s share distributed as per 2:1: Aaroh gets 4/9, and Bhuvan gets 2/9.

- New shares: Aaroh = 5/9, Bhuvan = 4/9. New ratio = 5:4.


Question 10(a):

Shrikant and Ajay were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3. Shrikant withdrew ₹ 10,000 at the beginning of each quarter during the year ended 31st March 2023. Calculate the interest on Shrikant’s drawings at 6% p.a.

  1. ₹ 2,400
  2. ₹ 1,200
  3. ₹ 1,500
  4. ₹ 900

Correct Answer: (C) ₹ 1,500

View Solution

- Total withdrawals = ₹ 40,000. Average time for quarterly withdrawals = 5/8 years.

- Interest = Total Withdrawals × Rate × Time = ₹ 40,000 × 6% × 5/8 = ₹ 1,500.


Question 10(b):

Abha, Manju, and Rhea were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:3:4. During the year ended 31st March 2023, Rhea withdrew ₹ 30,000 at the beginning of each half-year. Calculate the interest on Rhea’s drawings at 10% p.a.

  1. ₹ 6,000
  2. ₹ 4,500
  3. ₹ 3,000
  4. ₹ 1,500

Correct Answer: (B) ₹ 4,500

View Solution

- Rhea withdrew ₹ 30,000 twice. Interest is calculated for 1 year and 0.5 years.

- Total interest = ₹ 3,000 (first withdrawal) + ₹ 1,500 (second withdrawal) = ₹ 4,500.


Question 11(a):

Nicku, Mala, and Ritu were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2. Nicku died on 30th September, 2023. The deceased partner was entitled to his share of profit up to the date of death, which was to be calculated on the basis of the previous year’s profit. The previous year’s profit was ₹ 80,000. Nicku’s share of profit will be:

  1. ₹ 10,000
  2. ₹ 20,000
  3. ₹ 30,000
  4. ₹ 40,000

Correct Answer: (B) ₹ 20,000

View Solution:

Nicku’s share of profit is calculated using the formula:

Share of Profit = Previous Year’s Profit × (Share Ratio / Total Ratio) × (Months Active / 12)

Substituting the values:

Share of Profit = ₹ 80,000 × (5/10) × (6/12) = ₹ 20,000.


Question 11(b):

Nikhil, Arun, and Mansi were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3:3. With effect from 1st April, 2023, they decided to share profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. Due to the change in the profit-sharing ratio, Mansi’s gain or sacrifice will be:

  1. Gain 1/10
  2. Sacrifice 3/10
  3. Sacrifice 1/10
  4. Gain 3/10

Correct Answer: (C) Sacrifice 1/10

View Solution:

The change in share is calculated as:

Change in Share = New Ratio - Old Ratio.

For Mansi:

Change = 2/10 - 3/10 = -1/10.

Since the value is negative, Mansi sacrifices 1/10.


Question 12(a):

Lata, Mehu, and Namita were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. They decided to dissolve the firm on 31st March, 2023. Creditors took over stock of book value ₹ 80,000 at 80%, in part settlement of their amount of ₹ 90,000. The balance amount was paid to the creditors by cheque. The amount paid by cheque to the creditors will be:

  1. ₹ 26,000
  2. ₹ 64,000
  3. ₹ 80,000
  4. ₹ 1,44,000

Correct Answer: (A) ₹ 26,000

View Solution:

Calculate the value of stock taken by creditors:

Value of Stock = ₹ 80,000 × (80/100) = ₹ 64,000.

The remaining amount to be paid is:

Amount Paid by Cheque = ₹ 90,000 - ₹ 64,000 = ₹ 26,000.


Question 12(b):

Sanya, Sarthak, and Nitya were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3:1. They decided to dissolve the firm on 31st March, 2023. On this date, the firm had debtors amounting to ₹ 3,00,000 and provision for doubtful debts of ₹ 30,000. On dissolution, debtors for ₹ 20,000 proved bad, and the remaining debtors realised 90%. Amount realised from the debtors will be:

  1. ₹ 3,00,000
  2. ₹ 2,25,000
  3. ₹ 2,80,000
  4. ₹ 2,52,000

Correct Answer: (D) ₹ 2,52,000

View Solution:

Calculate the realisable value of debtors:

Realisable Value = (₹ 3,00,000 - ₹ 20,000) × 90%.

Realisable Value = ₹ 2,80,000 × 0.9 = ₹ 2,52,000.


Question 13:

Seema and Laksh were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:1. Their capitals were ₹ 2,00,000 and ₹ 1,80,000 respectively. They admitted Aadi as a new partner on 1st April, 2023, for 1/5 share in future profits. Aadi brought ₹ 1,50,000 as his share of capital. The goodwill of the firm on Aadi’s admission will be:

  1. ₹ 7,50,000
  2. ₹ 2,20,000
  3. ₹ 3,70,000
  4. ₹ 1,50,000

Correct Answer: (B) ₹ 2,20,000

View Solution:

1. Determine Total Capital of the Firm: Aadi’s share is 1/5. Total capital of the firm is calculated based on Aadi’s contribution: Total Capital = Aadi's Capital ÷ Aadi's Share = ₹ 1,50,000 ÷ (1/5) = ₹ 7,50,000.

2. Calculate the Goodwill: Goodwill is the difference between the total capital and the existing partners' capital: Goodwill = Total Capital - (Seema's Capital + Laksh's Capital). Substituting values: Goodwill = ₹ 7,50,000 - (₹ 2,00,000 + ₹ 1,80,000) = ₹ 7,50,000 - ₹ 3,80,000 = ₹ 3,70,000.

3. Adjustment for Aadi’s Contribution to Goodwill: Aadi’s goodwill share is already included in his contribution. Subtract Aadi’s contribution from the calculated goodwill: Goodwill = ₹ 3,70,000 - ₹ 1,50,000 = ₹ 2,20,000.


Question 14:

Geeta and Hari were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. Krish was admitted as a new partner for 1/5 share in the profits of the firm, which he acquired from Geeta and Hari in the ratio of 2:3. Krish brought ₹ 1,00,000 as his share of capital and ₹ 50,000 as premium for goodwill in cash. The sacrificing ratio of Geeta and Hari will be:

  1. 3:2
  2. 1:1
  3. 2:3
  4. 13:7

Correct Answer: (C) 2:3

View Solution:

To calculate the sacrificing ratio, we determine how much of their share Geeta and Hari are giving up in favor of Krish: Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share - New Share.

Krish acquires 1/5 share from Geeta and Hari in the ratio 2:3, which means: Geeta’s Sacrifice = (1/5) × (2/5) = 2/25, Hari’s Sacrifice = (1/5) × (3/5) = 3/25.

Thus, the sacrificing ratio of Geeta and Hari is 2:3.


Question 15:

Assertion (A): Partners’ current accounts maintained under the ‘Fixed Capital Method’ may show a debit or a credit balance.

Reason (R): In the ‘Fixed Capital Method’, all items like share of profit or loss, interest on capital, drawings, interest on drawings, etc., are recorded in the partners’ capital accounts.

Choose the correct option from the following:

  1. Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is not correct.
  4. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are not correct.

Correct Answer: (C) Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is not correct.

View Solution:

1. Assertion (A): Under the Fixed Capital Method, the capital account of partners remains unchanged unless additional capital is introduced or withdrawn. All transactions like share of profit or loss, interest on capital, drawings, and interest on drawings are recorded in the partners’ current accounts. These current accounts may show either a debit or a credit balance based on the net outcome of the transactions. Thus, the assertion is correct.

2. Reason (R): The statement in Reason (R) incorrectly describes the Fluctuating Capital Method, where all transactions are directly adjusted in the partners' capital accounts. Under the Fixed Capital Method, such transactions are not recorded in the capital accounts but in the current accounts. Hence, the reason is not correct.

3. Conclusion: While Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is incorrect as it misrepresents the Fixed Capital Method.


Question 16:

Manu, Sonu, and Rahul were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3:2. With effect from 1st April, 2023, they decided to share profits and losses in the future in the ratio of 3:2:1. Their Balance Sheet showed Workmen Compensation Reserve of ₹84,000. The claim on account of Workmen Compensation is estimated at ₹75,000. The journal entry to give effect to the above transaction will be:

Choose the correct journal entry from the options below:

  1. Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr ₹84,000, To Workmen Compensation Claim A/c ₹75,000, To Manu’s Capital A/c ₹4,000, To Sonu’s Capital A/c ₹3,000, To Rahul’s Capital A/c ₹2,000.
  2. Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr ₹84,000, To Workmen Compensation Claim A/c ₹75,000, To Manu’s Capital A/c ₹3,000, To Sonu’s Capital A/c ₹3,000, To Rahul’s Capital A/c ₹2,000.
  3. Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr ₹75,000, To Manu’s Capital A/c ₹4,000, To Sonu’s Capital A/c ₹3,000, To Rahul’s Capital A/c ₹2,000.
  4. Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr ₹75,000, To Workmen Compensation Claim A/c ₹75,000, To Manu’s Capital A/c ₹4,000, To Sonu’s Capital A/c ₹3,000, To Rahul’s Capital A/c ₹2,000.

Correct Answer: (A) Workmen Compensation Reserve A/c Dr ₹84,000, To Workmen Compensation Claim A/c ₹75,000, To Manu’s Capital A/c ₹4,000, To Sonu’s Capital A/c ₹3,000, To Rahul’s Capital A/c ₹2,000.

View Solution:

1. Distribution of Workmen Compensation Reserve: The Workmen Compensation Reserve of ₹84,000 is distributed among the partners in their old profit-sharing ratio 4:3:2. Manu’s share = ₹84,000 × (4/9) = ₹37,333.33 Sonu’s share = ₹84,000 × (3/9) = ₹28,000 Rahul’s share = ₹84,000 × (2/9) = ₹18,667.33

2. Adjustment for Workmen Compensation Claim: The total claim is ₹75,000, and the remaining ₹9,000 (₹84,000 - ₹75,000) is distributed in the old ratio. The respective capital accounts will be adjusted as follows:

Manu’s share = ₹9,000 × (4/9) = ₹4,000 Sonu’s share = ₹9,000 × (3/9) = ₹3,000 Rahul’s share = ₹9,000 × (2/9) = ₹2,000

3. Conclusion: The correct journal entry reflects the correct distribution of the reserve and claim amount among the partners as per their old profit-sharing ratio.


Question 17:

Alisha, Bobby, and Pooja were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. Pooja died on 30th September, 2023. Pooja’s share in the profits of the firm till the date of death was to be calculated on the basis of sales. Sales during the year 2022–23 were ₹30,00,000, and sales from 1st April, 2023, to 30th September, 2023, were ₹10,00,000. The profit for the year ended 31st March, 2023, was ₹3,00,000. Calculate Pooja’s share of profit up to the date of death and pass the necessary journal entry for the same in the books of the firm.

Choose the correct journal entry for the distribution of profit:

  1. Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr ₹20,000, To Pooja’s Capital A/c ₹20,000.
  2. Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr ₹15,000, To Pooja’s Capital A/c ₹15,000.
  3. Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr ₹1,00,000, To Pooja’s Capital A/c ₹1,00,000.
  4. Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr ₹25,000, To Pooja’s Capital A/c ₹25,000.

Correct Answer: (A) Profit and Loss Suspense A/c Dr ₹20,000, To Pooja’s Capital A/c ₹20,000.

View Solution:

1. Pooja’s share of profit is calculated based on the sales for the period from 1st April to 30th September, 2023. Profit for ₹10,00,000 sales = (₹3,00,000 / ₹30,00,000) × ₹10,00,000 = ₹1,00,000. Pooja’s share = ₹1,00,000 × (2/10) = ₹20,000.

2. The correct journal entry is to transfer ₹20,000 to Pooja’s capital account, representing her share of the profit until her death.


Question 18:

The average profit for the last five years of a firm was ₹20,000. The normal rate of return in a similar business is 8%. Goodwill of the firm is valued at ₹24,000 at the three years' purchase of super profit. Calculate the amount of capital employed by the firm.

Choose the correct option for capital employed:

  1. ₹1,50,000
  2. ₹2,00,000
  3. ₹2,40,000
  4. ₹1,00,000

Correct Answer: (A) ₹1,50,000.

View Solution:

1. Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit Normal profit = Normal rate of return × Capital employed Normal profit = 8% × Capital employed.

2. The goodwill formula is: Goodwill = 3 × Super profit. ₹24,000 = 3 × (₹20,000 - (8/100) × Capital employed) Solving for Capital employed gives ₹1,50,000.


Question 19(a):

Misha and Prisha were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. On 1st April, 2022, their capital accounts showed balances of ₹ 50,000 and ₹ 30,000 respectively. During the year, Misha withdrew ₹ 12,900 while Prisha withdrew ₹ 9,600. They were allowed interest on capital @ 10% p.a. Interest on drawings of ₹ 660 was charged on Misha’s drawings and ₹ 540 on Prisha’s drawings. Prisha had advanced a loan of ₹ 20,000 to the firm on 1st August, 2022. The net profit for the year ended 31st March, 2023 amounted to ₹ 22,600. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31st March, 2023.

  1. Net Profit = ₹ 22,600
  2. Interest on Capital for Misha = ₹ 5,000
  3. Interest on Capital for Prisha = ₹ 3,000
  4. Interest on Loan to Prisha = ₹ 1,333.33
  5. Interest on Drawings for Misha = ₹ 660
  6. Interest on Drawings for Prisha = ₹ 540
  7. Profit to be Appropriated for Misha = ₹ 28,273.33
  8. Profit to be Appropriated for Prisha = ₹ 25,060

Correct Answer: Profit and Loss Appropriation Account

View Solution
View Solution

Interest on capital for Misha = ₹ 50,000 × 10% = ₹ 5,000.

Interest on capital for Prisha = ₹ 30,000 × 10% = ₹ 3,000.

Interest on loan to Prisha = ₹ 20,000 × 10% × (8/12) = ₹ 1,333.33.

Interest on drawings for Misha = ₹ 660.

View Solution: (a) Pass journal entries for the issue of debentures and for writing off ‘Loss on Issue of Debentures’ utilising Securities Premium Account at the end of the first year itself.

Calculation of Amounts:

1. Nominal Value of Debentures Issued: ₹ 5,000 × ₹ 500 = ₹ 25,00,000.

2. Premium on Issue: ₹ 500 × 5% = ₹ 25 per debenture, total = ₹ 5,000 × ₹ 25 = ₹ 1,25,000.

3. Premium on Redemption: ₹ 500 × 10% = ₹ 50 per debenture, total = ₹ 5,000 × ₹ 50 = ₹ 2,50,000.

4. Loss on Issue of Debentures: Loss = Premium on Redemption - Premium on Issue = ₹ 2,50,000 - ₹ 1,25,000 = ₹ 2,50,000.

Journal entries for the transactions:

  • This account is created upon the issue of debentures and is adjusted or written off over time. If sufficient reserves are available, the entire amount may be written off in the same year.

2. Entries to Prepare the Account:

  • The account is first debited with the total loss on issue, which equals the redemption premium not covered by the premium on issue.
  • It is then credited when the loss is written off using the Securities Premium Account or other reserves.
Loss on Issue of Debentures Account:

View Solution:

The change in share is calculated as:

Change in Share = New Ratio - Old Ratio.

For Mansi:

Change = 2/10 - 3/10 = -1/10.

Since the value is negative, Mansi sacrifices 1/10.

  2. Investing Activities
  3. Financing Activities
  4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

  1. Comparative statements
  2. Common size statements

Question 29:

Statement I: ‘Issue of fully paid bonus shares out of Securities Premium Account’ will result in inflow of cash.
Statement II: ‘Cash withdrawn from bank’ will result in inflow of cash.
In the context of the above two statements, choose the correct option:

  1. Both statement I and statement II are correct
  2. Both statement I and statement II are incorrect
  3. Statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect
  4. Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct

Correct Answer: (B) Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.

View Solution:

  • Statement I is incorrect: The issue of fully paid bonus shares does not result in any inflow of cash, as the shares are issued out of the Securities Premium Account, which is a non-cash transaction.
  • Statement II is incorrect: Cash withdrawn from the bank does not result in inflow of cash; it merely shifts the cash from one form (bank) to another (cash in hand), with no net inflow.


Question 30:

The Debt-Equity Ratio of a company is 3 : 2. Which of the following transactions will result in increase in this ratio?

  1. Purchase of goods on credit
  2. Issue of Debentures
  3. Issue of Equity Shares
  4. Cash received from Debtors

Correct Answer: (B) Issue of Debentures.

View Solution:

The Debt-Equity ratio is calculated as:

Debt-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Equity

  • Purchase of goods on credit increases current liabilities but does not affect long-term debt, so it will not increase the ratio.
  • Issue of debentures increases long-term debt, thus increasing the debt-equity ratio.
  • Issue of equity shares increases equity capital, which reduces the ratio.
  • Cash received from debtors only affects current assets and does not impact liabilities, so it does not change the ratio.

Question 31:

  • Loose Tools: Classified under Current Assets, Sub-head: Inventories.
  • Provision for Tax: Classified under Current Liabilities, Sub-head: Provisions.
  • Copyrights: Classified under Non-Current Assets, Sub-head: Intangible Assets.

Question 32:

From the following information, calculate ‘Total Assets to Debt Ratio’:

Particulars
Current Assets 8,00,000
Current Liabilities 5,00,000
10% Debentures 4,00,000
9% Long-term Bank Loan 1,00,000
Shareholders’ Funds 15,00,000
View Solution:

The formula for Total Assets to Debt Ratio is:

Total Assets to Debt Ratio = Total Assets / Total Debt

Total Assets:

Total Assets include Current Assets and Non-current Assets. Here, Total Assets = Shareholders’ Funds + Total Debt (since liabilities fund the remaining assets).

Total Assets = ₹ 15,00,000 + ₹ (5,00,000 + 4,00,000 + 1,00,000) = ₹ 15,00,000 + ₹ 10,00,000 = ₹ 25,00,000

Total Debt:

Total Debt includes Current Liabilities and Non-current Liabilities (10% Debentures and 9% Long-term Bank Loan):

Goodwill 1,80,000 80,000

Additional Information:

  • A machine costing ₹ 85,000 (depreciation provided thereon ₹ 15,000) was sold for ₹ 62,000. Depreciation charged during the year amounted to ₹ 48,000.
  1. Cash inflow ₹ 2,18,000
  2. Cash inflow ₹ 2,00,000
  3. Cash outflow ₹ 2,18,000
  4. Cash outflow ₹ 1,18,000

Correct Answer: (C) Cash outflow ₹ 2,18,000

View Solution:

To calculate Cash Flows from Investing Activities, we consider the changes in Plant and Machinery and Goodwill, as well as the sale of the machine.

Cash Flow from Sale of Machine:

The sale of the machine results in an inflow of ₹ 62,000. The book value of the machine is ₹ 85,000 - ₹ 15,000 = ₹ 70,000. Therefore, the cash inflow from the sale of the machine is:

Cash inflow from sale of machine = ₹ 62,000 (proceeds from sale) - ₹ 70,000 (book value of machine) = -₹ 8,000

Change in Plant and Machinery:

The net increase in Plant and Machinery is:

Increase in Plant and Machinery = ₹ 4,10,000 - ₹ 3,00,000 = ₹ 1,10,000

This increase is considered as an outflow of cash.

Change in Goodwill:

The increase in Goodwill is:

Increase in Goodwill = ₹ 1,80,000 - ₹ 80,000 = ₹ 1,00,000

This is also an outflow of cash.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities:

Cash Flows from Investing Activities = Proceeds from sale of machine - Increase in Plant and Machinery - Increase in Goodwill

= - ₹ 8,000 - ₹ 1,10,000 - ₹ 1,00,000 = - ₹ 2,18,000


Question 34(b):

Calculate ‘Cash Flows from Financing Activities’ from the following information:

Bank Overdraft 90,000 1,20,000
Loan from bank 7,00,000 6,00,000

Additional Information:

  • Interest paid on bank loan amounted to ₹ 60,000.
  • Dividend paid ₹ 1,10,000.
  1. ₹ 5,60,000
  2. ₹ 4,60,000
  3. ₹ 3,60,000
  4. ₹ 6,60,000

Correct Answer: (B) ₹ 4,60,000

View Solution:

To calculate Cash Flows from Financing Activities, we need to consider the following:

Equity Share Capital:
The increase in equity share capital is:

Increase in Equity Share Capital = ₹ 15,00,000 - ₹ 10,00,000 = ₹ 5,00,000

This is a cash inflow.

Bank Overdraft:
The decrease in bank overdraft is:

Decrease in Bank Overdraft = ₹ 90,000 - ₹ 1,20,000 = - ₹ 30,000

This is a cash outflow.

Loan from Bank:
The increase in loan from the bank is:

Increase in Loan from Bank = ₹ 7,00,000 - ₹ 6,00,000 = ₹ 1,00,000

This is a cash inflow.

Interest Paid on Bank Loan:
Interest paid on bank loan is a financing activity outflow of ₹ 60,000.

Dividend Paid:
Dividend paid is a cash outflow of ₹ 1,10,000.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities:
Cash Flows from Financing Activities = Increase in Equity Share Capital + Increase in Loan from Bank - Decrease in Bank Overdraft - Interest Paid on Loan - Dividend Paid
= ₹ 5,00,000 + ₹ 1,00,000 - (- ₹ 30,000) - ₹ 60,000 - ₹ 1,10,000 = ₹ 4,60,000

2 Kiwi 34 45
3 Jackfruit 50 62
4 Blueberry 35 54
5 Butter 50 56
6 Buns 48 45
7 Meat 36 48
View Solution

Formula: =VLOOKUP(B1, B4:D6, 2, 0)
Error: #REF!
Reason: The reference range used in this formula (B4:D6) does not include the entire data set. The range should start from the top row of the table (e.g., B1:D7) for proper referencing.
Formula: =SQRT(VLOOKUP(C2, C2:D8, 2, 0) - 100)
Error: #N/A
Reason: The VLOOKUP function is trying to search for the value in C2 within the range C2:D8, which results in an invalid range. The lookup value should exist within a different range.
Formula: =VLOOKUP(B5, B6:D8, 1, 0)
Error: #REF!
Reason: The 1st column index (A) does not exist in the lookup range (B6:D8). The first column should be in the lookup range for the formula to work properly.
Formula: =VLOOKUP(B3, B2:D5, 5, 0)
Error: #REF!
Reason: The column index (5) exceeds the available columns in the specified range (B2:D5). The column index should be less than or equal to the number of columns in the range.
Formula: =VLOOKUP(B5, B3:D8, 0)
Error: #VALUE!
Reason: The column index (0) is invalid. The column index must be a positive integer that corresponds to a column number within the given range.
Formula: =VLOOKUP(B2, B2:D7, 2, 0)
Error: #N/A
Reason: This error occurs if the lookup value (B2) does not exist in the first column of the specified range. Ensure the lookup value is available in the range for a correct lookup.
