Hina and Neena are partners. During the year ended 31 March 2022, Neena took out ₹10,000 at the START of every month. Interest on drawings is charged at 6% p.a. What is the interest on Neena's drawings for the year?
  1. (A) ₹3,900
  2. (B) ₹325
  3. (C) ₹3,600
  4. (D) ₹3,300
Answer
(a) ₹3,900
Total drawings = 10,000 × 12 = ₹1,20,000.
When equal amounts are withdrawn at the beginning of every month, the average period = (12 + 1)/2 = 6.5 months.
Interest = 1,20,000 × 6/100 × 6.5/12 = ₹3,900.
Common mistake: using 6 months (that is for the middle of each month) or 5.5 months (end of each month).
OR
Vibha and Asha are partners. During the year ended 31 March 2022, Asha withdrew ₹1,000 at the END of every quarter. For charging interest on drawings, the average period to be used is:
  1. (A) 6 months
  2. (B) 4½ months
  3. (C) 7½ months
  4. (D) 6½ months
Answer
(b) 4½ months
Quarterly drawings at the end of each quarter remain with the partner for 9, 6, 3 and 0 months.
Average period = (9 + 6 + 3 + 0)/4 = 4.5 months.
(Beginning of each quarter → 7.5 months; middle → 6 months.)

Aman and Chaman are partners and have no partnership deed. Aman lent ₹6,00,000 to the firm on 1 July 2021. How much interest on this loan is Aman entitled to for the year ended 31 March 2022?
  1. (A) ₹36,000
  2. (B) ₹18,000
  3. (C) ₹9,000
  4. (D) ₹27,000
Answer
(d) ₹27,000
With no deed, the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 allows interest on a partner's loan @ 6% p.a.
Period: 1 July 2021 to 31 March 2022 = 9 months.
Interest = 6,00,000 × 6/100 × 9/12 = ₹27,000.
Note: interest on a partner's loan is a charge, so it is paid even if there is a loss.

Akshita Ltd. bought net assets worth ₹4,70,000 and paid for them by issuing fully paid shares of ₹5,00,000. The extra ₹30,000 paid will be ______ to ______ account.
  1. (A) debited, Goodwill
  2. (B) debited, Capital Reserve
  3. (C) credited, Capital Reserve
  4. (D) credited, General Reserve
Answer
(a) debited, Goodwill
Purchase consideration ₹5,00,000 > net assets ₹4,70,000.
The excess ₹30,000 paid is for goodwill, so Goodwill A/c is debited.
(If consideration were less than net assets, the difference would be credited to Capital Reserve.)
OR
Maira Ltd. took over assets of ₹12,00,000 and liabilities of ₹4,00,000 of Subav Ltd. for an agreed purchase consideration of ₹9,00,000, to be paid by issuing 11% debentures of ₹100 each at a 10% discount. How many debentures will be issued?
  1. (A) 9,000
  2. (B) 10,000
  3. (C) 8,000
  4. (D) 11,000
Answer
(b) 10,000
Issue price of one debenture = 100 − 10% = ₹90.
Number of debentures = Purchase consideration ÷ issue price = 9,00,000 ÷ 90 = 10,000.
(Net assets ₹8,00,000 < consideration, so ₹1,00,000 goes to Goodwill – it does not change the number of debentures.)

Kavita, Savita and Madhu are partners with capitals of ₹6,00,000, ₹4,00,000 and ₹2,00,000. Interest on capital is allowed @ 10% p.a. and the remaining profit is shared Kavita 1/3, Savita 1/2 and Madhu 1/6. Kavita has personally guaranteed that Savita's share of profit (after interest on capital) will never be less than ₹1,00,000. Profit for the year ended 31 March 2022 before interest on capital was ₹3,00,000.
By how much does Savita's share of profit fall short of the guaranteed amount?
  1. (A) ₹40,000
  2. (B) ₹70,000
  3. (C) ₹20,000
  4. (D) ₹10,000
Answer
(d) ₹10,000
Interest on capital @ 10%: Kavita 60,000, Savita 40,000, Madhu 20,000 = ₹1,20,000.
Divisible profit = 3,00,000 − 1,20,000 = ₹1,80,000.
Shares: Kavita 1/3 = 60,000; Savita 1/2 = 90,000; Madhu 1/6 = 30,000.
Guaranteed ₹1,00,000 − actual ₹90,000 = shortfall ₹10,000 (borne by Kavita alone).

Kavita, Savita and Madhu are partners with capitals of ₹6,00,000, ₹4,00,000 and ₹2,00,000. Interest on capital is allowed @ 10% p.a. and the remaining profit is shared Kavita 1/3, Savita 1/2 and Madhu 1/6. Kavita has personally guaranteed that Savita's share of profit (after interest on capital) will never be less than ₹1,00,000. Profit for the year ended 31 March 2022 before interest on capital was ₹3,00,000.
After adjusting the guarantee, how will the profit (after interest on capital) be divided among the partners?
  1. (A) Kavita ₹60,000, Savita ₹40,000 and Madhu ₹20,000
  2. (B) Kavita ₹50,000, Savita ₹1,00,000 and Madhu ₹30,000
  3. (C) Kavita ₹60,000, Savita ₹90,000 and Madhu ₹30,000
  4. (D) Kavita ₹60,000, Savita ₹1,00,000 and Madhu ₹20,000
Answer
(b) Kavita ₹50,000, Savita ₹1,00,000, Madhu ₹30,000
Interest on capital @ 10%: Kavita 60,000, Savita 40,000, Madhu 20,000 = ₹1,20,000.
Divisible profit = 3,00,000 − 1,20,000 = ₹1,80,000.
Shares: Kavita 1/3 = 60,000; Savita 1/2 = 90,000; Madhu 1/6 = 30,000.
Shortfall of Savita = ₹10,000, met only by Kavita (she gave the guarantee).
Kavita = 60,000 − 10,000 = ₹50,000; Savita = 90,000 + 10,000 = ₹1,00,000; Madhu = ₹30,000 (unchanged).
Check: 50,000 + 1,00,000 + 30,000 = ₹1,80,000.

A company forfeited 400 shares of ₹10 each on which ₹8 per share had been called, because the first call of ₹2 per share was not paid. On forfeiture, Share Capital A/c will be debited with:
  1. (A) ₹4,000
  2. (B) ₹800
  3. (C) ₹3,200
  4. (D) ₹2,000
Answer
(c) ₹3,200
On forfeiture Share Capital is debited with the amount CALLED UP on the forfeited shares, not the face value.
Called up = 400 × ₹8 = ₹3,200.
(Forfeited Shares A/c gets 400 × 6 = ₹2,400 and Calls in Arrears ₹800.)
OR
Xyle Ltd. issued shares of ₹10 each at a 10% premium. It forfeited 700 shares when the allotment money of ₹5 per share (premium included) and the first and final call of ₹3 per share were not paid. On forfeiture, the Share Forfeiture A/c will be credited with:
  1. (A) ₹7,000
  2. (B) ₹1,400
  3. (C) ₹4,900
  4. (D) ₹2,100
Answer
(d) ₹2,100
Issue price = ₹11 (10 + 1 premium). Allotment 5 + call 3 = 8 unpaid, so only application money was received: 11 − 5 − 3 = ₹3 per share (all towards capital).
Forfeiture A/c is credited with the amount received = 700 × 3 = ₹2,100.

  1. (A) ₹1,90,000
  2. (B) ₹1,10,000
  3. (C) ₹2,00,000
  4. (D) ₹10,000
Answer
(c) ₹2,00,000
Debentures A/c is always credited with the face (nominal) value: 2,000 × 100 = ₹2,00,000.
The discount of 2,000 × 5 = ₹10,000 is debited to Discount/Loss on Issue of Debentures A/c.
OR

  1. (A) Interest on debentures is a charge and not an appropriation.
  2. (B) Debentures can be issued at discount.
  3. (C) Debentureholders do not have voting rights.
  4. (D) Debentures cannot be converted into shares.
Answer

(b) True – debentures may be issued at a discount.
(c) True – debenture holders are creditors, not owners, so they have no voting rights.
(d) False – convertible debentures can be converted into shares.

Nidhi, Kunal and Kabir share profits 2 : 1 : 2. Kunal retires; after all adjustments for reserves and revaluation his capital account shows ₹80,000. Nidhi and Kabir agree to pay him ₹1,00,000 in full settlement. Kunal's share of goodwill is:
  1. (A) ₹4,000
  2. (B) ₹20,000
  3. (C) ₹16,000
  4. (D) ₹1,80,000
Answer
(b) ₹20,000
The extra amount paid over the adjusted capital balance is the retiring partner's share of goodwill.
Goodwill share = 1,00,000 − 80,000 = ₹20,000.

Assertion (A): Goodwill is an intangible asset.
Reason (R): Goodwill is the value of a firm's reputation for earning future profits above the normal profits.
  1. (A) Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is wrong.
  2. (B) Assertion (A) is wrong, but Reason (R) is correct.
  3. (C) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct.
  4. (D) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are wrong.
Answer
(c) Both A and R are correct.
Goodwill has no physical form but has value, so it is an intangible asset – A is correct.
Goodwill is the value of reputation that brings super (above-normal) profits in future – R is correct.
Hence (c).

A and B share profits 7 : 1. A withdrew a fixed ₹12,000 at the beginning of every quarter. Interest on drawings is @ 6% p.a. Which journal entry records the interest on A's drawings at year end?
  1. (A) Interest on Drawings A/c Dr. ₹1,800; To A's Capital A/c ₹1,800
  2. (B) Interest on Drawings A/c Dr. ₹1,800; To A's Current A/c ₹1,800
  3. (C) A's Capital A/c Dr. ₹1,800; To Interest on Drawings A/c ₹1,800
  4. (D) Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c Dr. ₹1,800; To Interest on Drawings A/c ₹1,800
Answer
(c) A's Capital A/c Dr. ₹1,800 To Interest on Drawings A/c ₹1,800
Drawings = 12,000 × 4 = ₹48,000; beginning of each quarter → average period 7.5 months.
Interest = 48,000 × 6/100 × 7.5/12 = ₹1,800.
Interest on drawings is a gain to the firm and a cost to the partner, so the partner's Capital A/c is debited and Interest on Drawings A/c is credited.

Zinki Ltd. issued a share of ₹100 at a 20% premium. It was forfeited because the first call of ₹30 and the final call of ₹10 were not paid. The lowest price at which this share can be reissued is:
  1. (A) ₹40
  2. (B) ₹60
  3. (C) ₹20
  4. (D) ₹100
Answer
(a) ₹40
Amount received on capital = 100 − 30 − 10 = ₹60 (premium ₹20 was received with earlier instalments).
Forfeited amount = ₹60.
The discount on reissue cannot exceed the forfeited amount, so minimum reissue price = 100 − 60 = ₹40.

Akshita and Anurag share profits 2 : 1. Akshat is admitted for a 1/3 share, taking 2/3 of his share from Akshita and 1/3 from Anurag. The new ratio of Akshita, Anurag and Akshat is:
  1. (A) 3 : 2 : 4
  2. (B) 4 : 3 : 2
  3. (C) 2 : 1 : 1
  4. (D) 4 : 2 : 3
Answer

On dissolution, which of these are transferred to Realisation Account?
(i) Provision for Doubtful Debts
(ii) Partners' Loan
(iii) General Reserve
(iv) Goodwill

  2. (B) (i), (ii) and (iv)
  3. (C) (i), (iii) and (iv)
  4. (D) (i), (ii) and (iii)

Suman, Vivek and Vinod share profits 5 : 3 : 2. Suman retires on 1 April 2022. After all adjustments (revaluation, goodwill, reserves), Vivek's capital is ₹3,60,000 (Cr.) and Vinod's ₹1,40,000 (Cr.). The continuing partners decide to make their capitals proportionate to their new profit-sharing ratio. Pass journal entries for the cash brought in or withdrawn, showing workings.
Answer
Vinod brings in ₹60,000; Vivek withdraws ₹60,000
New ratio of Vivek and Vinod = 3 : 2 (old ratio between them, as nothing else is given).
Total capital = 3,60,000 + 1,40,000 = ₹5,00,000.
Required: Vivek 5,00,000 × 3/5 = ₹3,00,000; Vinod 5,00,000 × 2/5 = ₹2,00,000.
Vivek: has 3,60,000, needs 3,00,000 → withdraws ₹60,000. Vinod: has 1,40,000, needs 2,00,000 → brings ₹60,000.
Journal (1 April 2022):
Cash/Bank A/c Dr. ₹60,000

Anu, Manu, Tanu and Kanu share profits 2 : 1 : 2 : 1. From 1 April 2022 they will share 4 : 2 : 3 : 1. On that date goodwill is valued at ₹1,20,000 and General Reserve in the books is ₹36,000. Pass the journal entries, showing workings.
Answer
GR ₹36,000 credited 12,000 : 6,000 : 12,000 : 6,000; Anu Dr 8,000 & Manu Dr 4,000, Tanu Cr 4,000 & Kanu Cr 8,000
Sacrifice/Gain = Old share − New share:
Anu 2/6 − 4/10 = −1/15 (gain); Manu 1/6 − 2/10 = −1/30 (gain); Tanu 2/6 − 3/10 = 1/30 (sacrifice); Kanu 1/6 − 1/10 = 1/15 (sacrifice).
Goodwill adjustment: Anu 1,20,000 × 1/15 = 8,000; Manu 4,000; Tanu 4,000; Kanu 8,000.
Entry 1: General Reserve A/c Dr. 36,000

On 1 April 2022 the capital of Ashu and Madhav's firm is ₹1,50,000. Normal rate of return is 10% and average profits are ₹23,500. Find goodwill at three years' purchase of super profits.
Answer
Goodwill = ₹25,500
Normal profit = 1,50,000 × 10% = ₹15,000.
Super profit = 23,500 − 15,000 = ₹8,500.
Goodwill = 8,500 × 3 = ₹25,500.

Rakshit and Malik share profits 4 : 1. On 1 April 2021 their capitals were ₹1,20,000 and ₹80,000. On 1 December 2021 they decided the firm's total capital should be ₹3,00,000, contributed in the ratio 2 : 1. Interest on capital is allowed @ 6% p.a. Calculate interest on capital for the year ended 31 March 2022.
Answer
Rakshit ₹8,800; Malik ₹5,200
New capitals from 1 Dec 2021: Rakshit 3,00,000 × 2/3 = ₹2,00,000; Malik ₹1,00,000.
Rakshit: 1,20,000 × 6% × 8/12 = 4,800 (Apr–Nov) + 2,00,000 × 6% × 4/12 = 4,000 (Dec–Mar) = ₹8,800.
Malik: 80,000 × 6% × 8/12 = 3,200 + 1,00,000 × 6% × 4/12 = 2,000 = ₹5,200.

Share Capital ₹6,84,000
Balance Sheet (extract): Equity and Liabilities → Shareholders' Funds → (a) Share Capital (Note 1) ₹6,84,000.
Note 1 – Share Capital:
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|}\hline \text{Particulars} & \text{₹}\\\hline \text{Authorised: 3,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each} & 30{,}00{,}000\\ \text{Issued: 70,000 equity shares of ₹10 each} & 7{,}00{,}000\\ \text{Subscribed and fully paid: 66,000 shares of ₹10 each} & 6{,}60{,}000\\ \text{Add: Share Forfeiture (3,000 × ₹8)} & 24{,}000\\ \text{Total} & 6{,}84{,}000\\\hline\end{array}\]
Working: subscribed 69,000 − forfeited 3,000 = 66,000 fully paid shares. On forfeited shares ₹8 each had been received → forfeiture ₹24,000.
Common mistake: showing issued capital as 69,000 shares – issued is what was offered (70,000).

Sudhir, Deepak and Naveen share profits 2 : 2 : 1. Their Balance Sheet on 31 March 2022:
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|l|r|}\hline \text{Liabilities} & \text{₹} & \text{Assets} & \text{₹}\\\hline \text{Creditors} & 50{,}000 & \text{Land and Building} & 2{,}10{,}000\\ \text{General Reserve} & 1{,}00{,}000 & \text{Machinery} & 1{,}90{,}000\\ \text{Loan} & 1{,}20{,}000 & \text{Stock} & 30{,}000\\ \text{Capitals: Sudhir 1,60,000} & & \text{Investments} & 1{,}70{,}000\\ \quad \text{Deepak 1,50,000} & & \text{Advertisement Suspense A/c} & 1{,}20{,}000\\ \quad \text{Naveen 1,40,000} & 4{,}50{,}000 & & \\ \text{Total} & 7{,}20{,}000 & \text{Total} & 7{,}20{,}000\\\hline\end{array}\]
Sudhir died on 30 June 2022. The deed provides: (i) goodwill = 2½ years' purchase of average profits of the last four years, which were ₹1,80,000; (ii) his share of profit up to death is based on sales – sales for 2021-22 were ₹4,00,000 with profit ₹1,00,000, and sales from 1 April to 30 June 2022 were ₹1,50,000; (iii) interest on capital @ 7% p.a.
Prepare Sudhir's Capital Account to be rendered to his executors.
Answer
Amount payable to Sudhir's Executors = ₹3,49,800
Workings:
Goodwill of firm = 1,80,000 × 2.5 = ₹4,50,000; Sudhir's share 2/5 = ₹1,80,000, borne by Deepak and Naveen in gaining ratio 2 : 1 → 1,20,000 and 60,000.
Profit to death: rate of profit on sales = 1,00,000/4,00,000 = 25%; profit on ₹1,50,000 sales = 37,500; Sudhir 2/5 = ₹15,000 (via P&L Suspense).
Interest on capital = 1,60,000 × 7% × 3/12 = ₹2,800.
General Reserve share = 1,00,000 × 2/5 = 40,000; Advertisement Suspense (fictitious asset) share = 1,20,000 × 2/5 = 48,000 (debit).
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|l|r|}\hline \text{Dr. Particulars} & \text{₹} & \text{Cr.

Pass journal entries for forfeiture and reissue of shares:
(i) BCG Ltd. forfeited 75 shares of ₹10 each, issued at a premium of ₹4, when allotment money of ₹8 per share (premium included) was not paid. The first and final call of ₹4 had not yet been made. The shares were reissued at ₹15 each fully paid.
(ii) Geetika Ltd. forfeited 1,200 shares of ₹50 each issued at par for non-payment of the final call of ₹10 per share. 900 of these were reissued at ₹45 each fully paid.
Answer
(i) Forfeiture ₹150, Capital Reserve ₹150; (ii) Forfeiture ₹48,000, Capital Reserve ₹31,500
(i) Per share: application ₹2 (capital), allotment ₹8 (₹4 capital + ₹4 premium), call ₹4 not made. Called-up capital = 6.
Share Capital A/c Dr. 450 (75 × 6)
Securities Premium A/c Dr. 300 (75 × 4, not received)

To Share Capital A/c 750
To Securities Premium A/c 375
Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. 150
To Capital Reserve A/c 150 (no discount on reissue, so whole forfeiture is a gain)
(ii) Share Capital A/c Dr. 60,000 (1,200 × 50)
To Share Forfeiture A/c 48,000 (1,200 × 40)
To Share Final Call/Calls in Arrears A/c 12,000
Bank A/c Dr. 40,500 (900 × 45)

To Share Capital A/c 45,000
Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. 31,500
To Capital Reserve A/c 31,500
Working: forfeiture on 900 shares = 900 × 40 = 36,000 − discount 4,500 = 31,500. The balance on 300 shares (₹12,000) stays in Forfeiture A/c.
OR
Pushkar Ltd. invited applications for 30,000 shares of ₹100 each at a 20% premium, payable: application ₹40 (incl. ₹10 premium), allotment ₹30 (incl. ₹10 premium), first call ₹30, second and final call the balance. Applications were received for 40,000 shares; applicants for 35,000 shares were allotted pro-rata and the rest refused. Excess application money was adjusted against allotment. Yogesh, who applied for 700 shares, did not pay allotment and his shares were forfeited right after allotment. The first call was then made and fully received; the final call was not made. Pass journal entries.
Answer
Allotment received ₹6,86,000; 600 shares forfeited (Forfeiture ₹22,000); first call on 29,400 shares ₹8,82,000
1) Bank Dr. 16,00,000 To Share Application 16,00,000 (40,000 × 40)
2) Share Application Dr. 16,00,000 To Share Capital 9,00,000 (30,000 × 30); To Securities Premium 3,00,000; To Share Allotment 2,00,000 (excess on 5,000 shares); To Bank 2,00,000 (5,000 shares refused)
3) Share Allotment Dr. 9,00,000 To Share Capital 6,00,000; To Securities Premium 3,00,000
Yogesh: pro-rata 35,000 : 30,000 = 7 : 6 → allotted 600 shares. Paid 700 × 40 = 28,000; needed 600 × 40 = 24,000; excess 4,000. Allotment due 600 × 30 = 18,000 − 4,000 = 14,000 unpaid.
4) Bank Dr. 6,86,000; Calls in Arrears Dr. 14,000 To Share Allotment 7,00,000 (9,00,000 − 2,00,000)

Yash is admitted on 1 April 2022 for a 1/4 share: (i) he brings proportionate capital and ₹4,000 as his goodwill premium in cash; (ii) investments are valued at ₹68,000; (iii) plant and machinery is depreciated by 10%.
Prepare the Revaluation Account and Partners' Capital Accounts.
Answer
Revaluation profit ₹2,000; closing capitals Yuv ₹1,43,500, Veer ₹69,500, Yash ₹71,000
Revaluation A/c: Dr – Plant & Machinery (10% of 60,000) 6,000; Profit: Yuv 1,500, Veer 500. Cr – Investments (68,000 − 60,000) 8,000. Totals 8,000.
General Reserve 80,000 → Yuv 60,000, Veer 20,000. Premium 4,000 in sacrificing ratio (= old ratio 3 : 1) → Yuv 3,000, Veer 1,000.
Yash's capital: combined adjusted capital of old partners = 1,43,500 + 69,500 = 2,13,000 for 3/4 share → total 2,84,000 → Yash 1/4 = ₹71,000.

  1. (A) Operating Activity
  2. (B) Investing Activity
  3. (C) Financing Activity
  4. (D) Both (b) and (c)
Answer
(c) Financing Activity
Dividend paid is a return to shareholders (owners of capital), so it is a financing activity for every enterprise – financial or not.
Only interest/dividend RECEIVED and interest paid are operating for a financial enterprise.

Explain: (i) Memo Voucher (ii) Post-dated Voucher (iii) User-defined Voucher.
Answer
Memo – non-accounting voucher; Post-dated – entered now for a future date; User-defined – new voucher type created by the user
(i) Memo voucher: a non-accounting voucher; it does not affect the accounts. Entries are kept in a separate register and not posted to the ledger until converted into a regular voucher.
(ii) Post-dated voucher: lets the user enter a transaction now that will take effect on a future date (e.g. post-dated cheques); it affects accounts only on that date.
(iii) User-defined voucher: besides the pre-defined voucher types (Tally has 23), the user can create new accounting/inventory voucher types to suit the business's needs.

Calculate the Gross Profit Ratio: Inventory Turnover Ratio 6 times; Average Inventory ₹4,00,000; goods are sold at a profit of 25% on cost.
Answer
Gross Profit Ratio = 20%
Inventory turnover = Cost of revenue from operations ÷ Average inventory → Cost = 6 × 4,00,000 = ₹24,00,000.
Gross profit = 25% of cost = ₹6,00,000.
Revenue from operations = 24,00,000 + 6,00,000 = ₹30,00,000.
GP Ratio = 6,00,000 ÷ 30,00,000 × 100 = 20%.
Common mistake: 25% on cost ≠ 25% on sales; on sales it is 25/125 = 20%.

A company's current ratio is 2 : 1. Giving reasons, state whether each transaction will improve, reduce or not change the ratio:
(a) Goods purchased on credit ₹40,000
(b) Furniture of book value ₹8,000 sold at a loss of ₹2,000
(c) Cash received from trade receivables ₹15,000
(d) Equity shares issued ₹6,00,000
Answer
(a) Reduces (b) Improves (c) No change (d) Improves
(a) Reduce – inventory (CA) and trade payables (CL) rise by the same amount; when the ratio is above 1, an equal increase in both lowers it (e.g. 2 : 1 → 2.4 : 1.4).
(b) Improve – cash ₹6,000 (CA) comes in, CL unchanged.
(c) No change – cash up, trade receivables down by the same amount; total CA and CL same.
(d) Improve – cash (CA) rises, CL unchanged.

What is data formatting? Which tools are used to format data? Explain.
Answer
Data formatting = using formatting tools to make a spreadsheet's data easy to read; tools: number, currency, percentage, date formats
Data formatting means changing the way data appears (not its value) so that a worksheet is easy to read and understand.
Tools:
• Number format – decimal places, thousands separator, negative numbers in brackets/red.
• Currency/Accounting format – adds currency symbol (₹) and aligns values.
• Percentage format – shows a value such as 0.25 as 25%.
• Date (and time) format – displays dates in the chosen style, e.g. 31-03-2022.
Also font, alignment, borders, fill colour and conditional formatting.

Two entrepreneurs started an online car-buying portal in 2011 and converted it into 'Car Easy Ltd.' in 2018. From its Balance Sheet, calculate Cash Flows from Operating Activities for 2021-22.

Additional information: (i) 10% debentures were issued on 31 March 2021 (opening ones); (ii) tax of ₹80,000 was paid during the year.
Answer
Net cash used in operating activities = ₹(2,01,000)
Step 1 – Net profit before tax:
Change in surplus = 75,000 − 3,60,000 = (2,85,000) (a loss).
Provision for tax made = closing 2,04,000 + paid 80,000 − opening 2,10,000 = ₹74,000.
Net profit before tax = (2,85,000) + 74,000 = ₹(2,11,000).
Step 2 – Add non-cash / non-operating items:
Depreciation = 1,44,000 − 69,000 = 75,000; Interest on debentures = 10% × 2,40,000 = 24,000.
Operating profit before working capital changes = (2,11,000) + 99,000 = ₹(1,12,000).
Step 3 – Working capital: decrease in inventories +33,000; decrease in trade payables (42,000) → net (9,000).
Cash generated from operations = (1,21,000); less tax paid 80,000.
Net cash used in operating activities = ₹(2,01,000).
(If interest is taken only on the opening ₹1,80,000, i.e. ₹18,000, the answer becomes ₹(2,07,000); the marking scheme accepts that too.)

What is the 'Present Value' of an investment? Explain the financial function used to calculate it.
Answer
PV = present worth of a series of future payments; function PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv], [type])
Present value is what a series of future payments is worth today, after discounting at a given rate of interest.
Excel function: PV.
Syntax: =PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv], [type])
• rate – interest rate per period (e.g. 12%/12 for monthly).
• nper – total number of payment periods.
• pmt – payment made each period (fixed over the life; principal + interest).
• fv – (optional) future value / cash balance wanted after the last payment; 0 if omitted.
• type – (optional) 0 = payment at end of period, 1 = at beginning.
Example: =PV(10%,5,−10000) gives about ₹37,908 – the value today of ₹10,000 received yearly for 5 years at 10%.
