Atul, Beena and Sita share the profits and losses of their firm in the ratio 8 : 7 : 5. Damini is admitted as a new partner for a 1/5 share, which she takes entirely from Atul. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio after her admission?
  1. (A) 7 : 7 : 5 : 1
  2. (B) 4 : 7 : 5 : 4
  3. (C) 8 : 7 : 5 : 4
  4. (D) 7 : 5 : 8 : 4
Answer
(B) 4 : 7 : 5 : 4
Write the old shares in twentieths: Atul 8/20, Beena 7/20, Sita 5/20.
Damini's share = 1/5 = 4/20, given up wholly by Atul.
Atul's new share = 8/20 − 4/20 = 4/20; Beena 7/20 and Sita 5/20 stay the same; Damini 4/20.
New ratio = 4 : 7 : 5 : 4.
Common mistake: reducing every old partner's share – here only Atul sacrifices.
OR
Rushil and Abheer share profits and losses in the ratio 4 : 3. They admit Sunil for a 3/7 share; he gets 2/7 from Rushil and 1/7 from Abheer. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio of Rushil, Abheer and Sunil?
  1. (A) 4 : 3 : 3
  2. (B) 2 : 1 : 3
  3. (C) 2 : 2 : 3
  4. (D) 4 : 3 : 1
Answer
(C) 2 : 2 : 3
Rushil = 4/7 − 2/7 = 2/7.
Abheer = 3/7 − 1/7 = 2/7.
Sunil = 2/7 + 1/7 = 3/7.
New ratio = 2 : 2 : 3.

Abhay, Boris and Chetan share profits 5 : 3 : 2. Boris has been guaranteed a minimum profit of ₹95,000; any shortfall is to be borne equally by Abhay and Chetan. The firm's profit for the year ended 31 March 2023 was ₹2,00,000. How much will Abhay give to Boris towards the guarantee?
  1. (A) ₹17,500
  2. (B) ₹35,000
  3. (C) ₹25,000
  4. (D) ₹10,000
Answer
(A) ₹17,500
Boris's normal share = 3/10 × 2,00,000 = ₹60,000.
Shortfall = 95,000 − 60,000 = ₹35,000.
Abhay and Chetan bear it equally: Abhay = 35,000 ÷ 2 = ₹17,500.

The firm of Aavya, Mitansh and Praveen was dissolved on 31 March 2023. Creditors, who were owed ₹60,000, took over furniture (book value ₹50,000) at ₹45,000 in part settlement, and the rest was paid by cheque. How much was paid by cheque?
  1. (A) ₹10,000
  2. (B) ₹50,000
  3. (C) ₹45,000
  4. (D) ₹15,000
Answer
(D) ₹15,000
Creditors accept the furniture at its agreed value ₹45,000 (book value ₹50,000 is irrelevant here).
Balance payable = 60,000 − 45,000 = ₹15,000 by cheque.
Common mistake: using the book value of furniture (would give ₹10,000).

Piyush, Rajesh and Avinash share profits equally. Shiva joins for an equal share and brings his capital and his premium for goodwill in cash. Among whom will the goodwill premium be shared?
  1. (A) Old partners in old ratio
  2. (B) New partners in new ratio
  3. (C) New partners in sacrificing ratio
  4. (D) Old partners in sacrificing ratio
Answer
(D) Old partners in sacrificing ratio
Premium for goodwill compensates the old partners for the share of profit they give up to the new partner.
So it is credited to the old partners' capital accounts in their sacrificing ratio (here all three sacrifice equally, so 1 : 1 : 1).

Alex, Benn and Cole share profits 5 : 3 : 2 and admit Dona for a 1/5 share in future profits. Dona will bring proportionate capital. After all adjustments, the old partners' capitals are ₹1,20,000, ₹80,000 and ₹1,00,000. How much capital will Dona bring?
  1. (A) ₹75,000
  2. (B) ₹60,000
  3. (C) ₹65,000
  4. (D) ₹70,000
Answer
(A) ₹75,000
Combined adjusted capital of old partners = 1,20,000 + 80,000 + 1,00,000 = ₹3,00,000.
This is for 1 − 1/5 = 4/5 of the firm, so total capital = 3,00,000 × 5/4 = ₹3,75,000.
Dona's capital = 3,75,000 × 1/5 = ₹75,000.

Assertion (A): Every partner is a principal as well as an agent of all the other partners.
Reason (R): According to the definition in the Partnership Act, the business may be carried on by all the partners or by any of them acting for all.
  1. (A) Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  2. (B) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
  3. (C) A is correct, but R is incorrect.
  4. (D) A is incorrect, but R is correct.
Answer
(B) Both A and R are true and R explains A
The 'mutual agency' element comes from the definition: business carried on by all or any of them acting for all.
When one partner acts for all, he is an agent of the others and bound by their acts as a principal – so R is the reason for A.

Abha and Babita run a clay-toy firm sharing profits 2 : 1. On 1 April 2023 their capitals were ₹5,00,000 and ₹10,00,000. The deed allows interest on capital at 10% p.a. The firm's profit for the year was ₹90,000.
How much interest on capital will be allowed to Abha?
  1. (A) ₹50,000
  2. (B) ₹1,00,000
  3. (C) ₹60,000
  4. (D) ₹30,000
Answer
(D) ₹30,000
Full interest: Abha 10% of 5,00,000 = ₹50,000; Babita 10% of 10,00,000 = ₹1,00,000; total ₹1,50,000.
Interest on capital is an appropriation, so it cannot exceed the profit of ₹90,000.
The profit is shared in the ratio of interest 50,000 : 1,00,000 = 1 : 2.
Abha = 90,000 × 1/3 = ₹30,000.
Common mistake: giving the full ₹50,000 when profit is insufficient.

Abha and Babita run a clay-toy firm sharing profits 2 : 1. On 1 April 2023 their capitals were ₹5,00,000 and ₹10,00,000. The deed allows interest on capital at 10% p.a. The firm's profit for the year was ₹90,000.
What will be Babita's share of the remaining profit?
  1. (A) ₹60,000
  2. (B) ₹30,000
  3. (C) Nil
  4. (D) ₹1,00,000
Answer
(C) Nil
Interest on capital due (₹1,50,000) is more than the profit (₹90,000).
The whole ₹90,000 is used up as interest on capital (Abha ₹30,000, Babita ₹60,000).
Nothing is left to share in the profit ratio, so Babita's share of profit = Nil.

Alfa Ltd. offered 50,000 equity shares of ₹10 each at a 30% premium, the full amount payable on application. It received applications for 2,50,000 shares and allotted shares pro-rata to all applicants. How much money was refunded?
  1. (A) ₹32,50,000
  2. (B) ₹15,60,000
  3. (C) ₹39,00,000
  4. (D) ₹26,00,000
Answer
(D) ₹26,00,000
Amount per share on application = 10 + 30% of 10 = ₹13.
Excess applications = 2,50,000 − 50,000 = 2,00,000 shares.
With the full amount payable on application there is nothing to adjust, so the excess is refunded: 2,00,000 × 13 = ₹26,00,000.

Fill in the blank: Reserve capital is that portion of the ________ capital which can be called up only when the company is being wound up.
  1. (A) Issued
  2. (B) Called up
  3. (C) Uncalled
  4. (D) Nominal
Answer
(C) Uncalled
A company may resolve (by special resolution) that a part of its uncalled capital will be called only on winding up.
That part is reserve capital – it is a part of uncalled capital.

Xeno Ltd. issued 25,000 equity shares of ₹10 each payable ₹4 on application, ₹5 on allotment and the balance on first and final call. All shares were applied for and allotted. Allotment money on 1,500 shares was not received and these shares were forfeited immediately after allotment (the call had not been made). By how much will Share Capital Account be debited on forfeiture?
  1. (A) ₹15,000
  2. (B) ₹24,000
  3. (C) ₹13,500
  4. (D) ₹18,000
Answer
(C) ₹13,500
On forfeiture, Share Capital is debited with the amount called up on the forfeited shares.
Called up so far = application ₹4 + allotment ₹5 = ₹9 per share.
Debit = 1,500 × 9 = ₹13,500.
Common mistake: debiting the full face value ₹10 when the final call is not yet made.

Assertion (A): Irredeemable debentures are also called perpetual debentures.
Reason (R): The company gives no undertaking to repay the money raised by such debentures; they are repayable only on winding up or after a very long period.
  1. (A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. (B) Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. (C) A is incorrect, but R is correct.
  4. (D) A is correct, but R is incorrect.
Answer
(A) Both true; R explains A
Because there is no fixed repayment date (repayable only on winding up or after a long period), these debentures are 'perpetual'.
So R correctly explains A.

Money received from shareholders in advance, before the directors have called it up, is:
  1. (A) debited to calls in advance account
  2. (B) credited to calls in advance account
  3. (C) debited to share capital account
  4. (D) credited to share capital account
Answer
(B) Credited to Calls in Advance A/c
Entry: Bank A/c Dr. To Calls in Advance A/c.
Calls in advance is a liability of the company (not part of share capital) until the call is made, so it is credited.
OR

  1. (A) Buy back of shares
  2. (B) Employee stock option plan
  3. (C) Private placement of shares
  4. (D) Sweat Equity
Answer
(C) Private placement of shares
Private placement = issue of securities to a select group of persons (not to the public at large) through a private placement offer letter.

A ₹100 share, on which ₹80 has been received, is forfeited because the final call of ₹20 was not paid. What is the lowest price at which this share can be reissued?
  1. (A) ₹120
  2. (B) ₹100
  3. (C) ₹80
  4. (D) ₹20
Answer
(D) ₹20
The maximum discount on reissue = amount forfeited = ₹80 per share.
Minimum reissue price (as fully paid) = 100 − 80 = ₹20.
OR
Shiv Ltd. forfeited 500 shares of ₹10 each on which ₹7 per share had been paid. They were reissued at ₹9 per share as fully paid. What amount will be transferred to Capital Reserve?
  1. (A) ₹3,000
  2. (B) ₹5,000
  3. (C) ₹4,500
  4. (D) ₹3,500
Answer
(A) ₹3,000
Amount forfeited = 500 × 7 = ₹3,500.
Discount on reissue = 500 × (10 − 9) = ₹500, met from Share Forfeiture.
Balance to Capital Reserve = 3,500 − 500 = ₹3,000.

Dan, Elf and Furhan share profits 5 : 3 : 2. From 1 April 2023 they change the ratio to 2 : 3 : 5. A General Reserve of ₹90,000 stands in the books, and the partners decide not to distribute it. Which single adjustment entry is correct?
  1. (A) Dan's Capital A/c Dr. ₹27,000; To Furhan's Capital A/c ₹27,000
  2. (B) Dan's Capital A/c Dr. ₹90,000; To Furhan's Capital A/c ₹90,000
  3. (C) Furhan's Capital A/c Dr. ₹27,000; To Dan's Capital A/c ₹27,000
  4. (D) Furhan's Capital A/c Dr. ₹90,000; To Dan's Capital A/c ₹90,000
Answer
(C) Furhan's Capital A/c Dr. ₹27,000 To Dan's Capital A/c ₹27,000
Change in shares: Dan 5/10 → 2/10 (sacrifice 3/10); Elf 3/10 → 3/10 (no change); Furhan 2/10 → 5/10 (gain 3/10).
Reserve kept in the books, so the gaining partner compensates the sacrificing partner: 3/10 × 90,000 = ₹27,000.
Entry: Furhan's Capital A/c Dr. 27,000 To Dan's Capital A/c 27,000.

Sia, Tom and Vidhi share profits 3 : 2 : 1. From 1 April 2023 they will share 1 : 2 : 3. On that date the Profit and Loss Account has a debit balance of ₹60,000. Which journal entry correctly distributes this balance?
  1. (A) Sia's Capital Dr. ₹30,000, Tom's Capital Dr. ₹20,000, Vidhi's Capital Dr. ₹10,000; To Profit and Loss A/c ₹60,000
  2. (B) Sia's Capital Dr. ₹10,000, Tom's Capital Dr. ₹20,000, Vidhi's Capital Dr. ₹30,000; To Profit and Loss A/c ₹60,000
  3. (C) Sia's Capital A/c Dr. ₹20,000; To Vidhi's Capital A/c ₹20,000
  4. (D) Vidhi's Capital A/c Dr. ₹20,000; To Sia's Capital A/c ₹20,000
Answer
(A) Debit Sia ₹30,000, Tom ₹20,000, Vidhi ₹10,000; credit P&L ₹60,000
An accumulated loss (debit balance of P&L) belongs to the period of the old ratio, so it is written off in the OLD ratio 3 : 2 : 1.
Sia 3/6 × 60,000 = 30,000; Tom 2/6 × 60,000 = 20,000; Vidhi 1/6 × 60,000 = 10,000.
Entry: the three Capital A/cs Dr. To Profit and Loss A/c 60,000.

Anju, Divya and Bobby share profits 3 : 2 : 1. Bobby retires, and Anju and Divya then share 5 : 3. What is their gaining ratio?
  1. (A) 3 : 2
  2. (B) 5 : 3
  3. (C) 3 : 1
  4. (D) 2 : 3
Answer
(C) 3 : 1
Gain = new share − old share.
Anju = 5/8 − 3/6 = 15/24 − 12/24 = 3/24.
Divya = 3/8 − 2/6 = 9/24 − 8/24 = 1/24.
Gaining ratio = 3 : 1.
OR
Mita, Veena and Atul share profits 3 : 2 : 1. Atul retires and his share is taken by Mita and Veena in the ratio 1 : 4. What is the new ratio of Mita and Veena?
  1. (A) 3 : 2
  2. (B) 8 : 7
  3. (C) 7 : 3
  4. (D) 2 : 3
Answer
(B) 8 : 7
Atul's share = 1/6. Mita takes 1/5 of it = 1/30; Veena takes 4/5 = 4/30.
Mita = 3/6 + 1/30 = 15/30 + 1/30 = 16/30.
Veena = 2/6 + 4/30 = 10/30 + 4/30 = 14/30.
New ratio = 16 : 14 = 8 : 7.

Aamir, Bashir and Chirag share profits and losses 3 : 3 : 2. Chirag retires, and Aamir and Bashir agree to share future profits 1 : 2. On Chirag's retirement the firm's goodwill is valued at ₹5,40,000.
Calculate the gaining ratio and pass the journal entry for goodwill on Chirag's retirement (without opening a Goodwill Account).
Answer
Aamir sacrifices 1/24, Bashir gains 7/24; Bashir's Capital Dr. ₹1,57,500 To Aamir's Capital ₹22,500 and To Chirag's Capital ₹1,35,000
Step 1 – Gain/sacrifice (new − old):
Aamir = 1/3 − 3/8 = 8/24 − 9/24 = −1/24 (sacrifice)
Bashir = 2/3 − 3/8 = 16/24 − 9/24 = +7/24 (gain)
So only Bashir gains; he gains Chirag's 6/24 plus Aamir's 1/24.
Step 2 – Amounts: Chirag's share of goodwill = 2/8 × 5,40,000 = ₹1,35,000; Aamir's sacrifice = 1/24 × 5,40,000 = ₹22,500; Bashir's gain = 7/24 × 5,40,000 = ₹1,57,500.
Step 3 – Entry:
Bashir's Capital A/c ... Dr. ₹1,57,500
To Aamir's Capital A/c ₹22,500
To Chirag's Capital A/c ₹1,35,000
(Goodwill adjusted on Chirag's retirement)
Common mistake: assuming the gaining ratio equals the new ratio 1 : 2 – always compute new minus old.

Pearl and Ruby's firm has a combined capital of ₹2,50,000; the normal rate of return is 10%. Profits of the last four years: 2019-20 ₹35,000; 2020-21 ₹25,000; 2021-22 ₹32,000; 2022-23 ₹33,000. The closing stock of 2022-23 was overvalued by ₹5,000.
Calculate the firm's goodwill at three years' purchase of the average super profit of the last four years.
Answer
Goodwill = ₹15,000
Step 1 – Adjust profit: overvalued closing stock inflated 2022-23 profit, so 33,000 − 5,000 = ₹28,000.
Step 2 – Total = 35,000 + 25,000 + 32,000 + 28,000 = ₹1,20,000; average profit = 1,20,000 ÷ 4 = ₹30,000.
Step 3 – Normal profit = 10% of 2,50,000 = ₹25,000.
Step 4 – Super profit = 30,000 − 25,000 = ₹5,000.
Step 5 – Goodwill = 5,000 × 3 = ₹15,000.

Sunrise Ltd. took over assets of ₹3,60,000 and creditors of ₹1,00,000 from Moonlight Ltd. for an agreed purchase consideration of ₹4,80,000. It paid the consideration by issuing 9% Debentures of ₹100 each at a 4% discount.
Pass the journal entries in the books of Sunrise Ltd., showing workings.
Answer
Goodwill ₹2,20,000; 5,000 debentures issued (₹5,00,000) with discount ₹20,000
Working: Net assets = 3,60,000 − 1,00,000 = ₹2,60,000; consideration ₹4,80,000 is more, so Goodwill = ₹2,20,000.
Issue price = 100 − 4 = ₹96; number of debentures = 4,80,000 ÷ 96 = 5,000.
Entry 1:
Sundry Assets A/c ... Dr. ₹3,60,000

Pass the journal entries in the books of Grapple Ltd., showing workings.
Answer
Capital Reserve ₹2,00,000; 15,000 debentures: ₹15,00,000 + Securities Premium ₹3,00,000
Working: Net assets = 25,00,000 − 5,00,000 = ₹20,00,000; consideration ₹18,00,000 is less, so Capital Reserve = ₹2,00,000.
Issue price = ₹120; number of debentures = 18,00,000 ÷ 120 = 15,000.
Entry 1:
Sundry Assets A/c ... Dr. ₹25,00,000

Mohan, Suhaan and Adit share profits and losses 3 : 2 : 1. Their fixed capitals are ₹2,00,000, ₹1,00,000 and ₹1,00,000. For the year ended 31 March 2023 interest on capital was credited at 8% p.a. instead of 5% p.a.
Pass the adjusting journal entry, showing workings.
Answer
Adit's Current A/c Dr. ₹1,000 To Suhaan's Current A/c ₹1,000
Excess interest credited (3% extra): Mohan 6,000, Suhaan 3,000, Adit 3,000 – total ₹12,000; this must be reversed (debited).
The ₹12,000 should have been profit, shared 3 : 2 : 1 = Mohan 6,000, Suhaan 4,000, Adit 2,000 (credited).
Net: Mohan 0; Suhaan +1,000 (Cr); Adit −1,000 (Dr).
Entry:
Adit's Current A/c ... Dr. ₹1,000
To Suhaan's Current A/c ₹1,000

Manoj and Nitin share profits 2 : 1. On 31 March 2023 their capitals, after crediting profit and debiting drawings, were ₹90,000 and ₹80,000. Profit for the year was ₹30,000; drawings were Manoj ₹40,000 and Nitin ₹20,000. Later it was found that interest on capital at 10% p.a. was not allowed, and interest on drawings (Manoj ₹3,000, Nitin ₹2,000) was not charged.
Pass the adjusting journal entry, showing workings.
Answer
Manoj's Capital A/c Dr. ₹2,000 To Nitin's Capital A/c ₹2,000
Step 1 – Opening capitals = closing + drawings − profit share:
Manoj = 90,000 + 40,000 − 20,000 = ₹1,10,000; Nitin = 80,000 + 20,000 − 10,000 = ₹90,000.
Step 2 – Interest on capital @10%: Manoj 11,000; Nitin 9,000.
Step 3 – Net to credit = IOC − IOD: Manoj 11,000 − 3,000 = 8,000; Nitin 9,000 − 2,000 = 7,000; total ₹15,000.
Step 4 – This ₹15,000 is taken back from profit in 2 : 1: Manoj 10,000, Nitin 5,000 (debit).

Shivalik Ltd. has an authorised capital of ₹10,00,000 in equity shares of ₹10 each. It offered 50,000 equity shares to the public, payable ₹2 on application, ₹6 on allotment and the balance on first and final call. The issue was fully subscribed. All money was received except allotment and call money on 4,000 shares, which were forfeited.
Show Share Capital in the company's Balance Sheet as per Schedule III, Part I of the Companies Act, 2013, with Notes to Accounts.
Answer
Share Capital = ₹4,68,000 (46,000 fully paid shares ₹4,60,000 + Share Forfeiture ₹8,000)
Forfeited amount = only application money paid on 4,000 shares = 4,000 × 2 = ₹8,000.
Balance Sheet (extract): Equity and Liabilities → 1. Shareholders' Funds → (a) Share Capital (Note 1) ₹4,68,000.
Note 1 – Share Capital:
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|}\hline \text{Particulars} & \text{₹}\\\hline \text{Authorised: 1,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each} & 10{,}00{,}000\\\hline \text{Issued: 50,000 equity shares of ₹10 each} & 5{,}00{,}000\\\hline \text{Subscribed and fully paid: 46,000 shares of ₹10 each} & 4{,}60{,}000\\ \text{Add: Share Forfeiture A/c} & 8{,}000\\\hline \text{Total} & 4{,}68{,}000\\\hline\end{array}\]
Common mistake: showing forfeited shares in subscribed capital – they are no longer outstanding.

Archana, Vandana and Arti (ratio 5 : 3 : 2) dissolve their firm on 31 March 2023. Balance Sheet: Capitals Archana ₹80,000, Vandana ₹70,000, Arti ₹60,000; General Reserve ₹30,000; Creditors ₹60,000 (total ₹3,00,000). Assets: Investments ₹80,000, Plant ₹1,00,000, Stock ₹40,000, Debtors ₹50,000, Cash at Bank ₹30,000.
(i) Debtors realised ₹40,000, Stock ₹50,000, Plant ₹60,000.
(ii) Vandana took 25% of the investments for ₹18,000; Archana took the rest at 10% below book value.
(iii) Realisation expenses ₹20,000 were paid by Arti.
Prepare the Realisation Account (creditors are paid in full).
Answer
Loss on realisation ₹68,000: Archana ₹34,000, Vandana ₹20,400, Arti ₹13,600
Workings: Vandana's investments = 25% × 80,000 = 20,000 book, taken at ₹18,000. Archana's = 60,000 book less 10% = ₹54,000. Cash from assets = 40,000 + 50,000 + 60,000 = ₹1,50,000.
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|l|r|}\hline \text{Dr.} & \text{₹} & \text{Cr.} & \text{₹}\\\hline \text{To Investments} & 80{,}000 & \text{By Creditors} & 60{,}000\\ \text{To Plant} & 1{,}00{,}000 & \text{By Bank (assets realised)} & 1{,}50{,}000\\ \text{To Stock} & 40{,}000 & \text{By Vandana's Capital} & 18{,}000\\ \text{To Debtors} & 50{,}000 & \text{By Archana's Capital} & 54{,}000\\ \text{To Bank (creditors)} & 60{,}000 & \text{By Loss: Archana} & 34{,}000\\ \text{To Arti's Capital (expenses)} & 20{,}000 & \text{By Loss: Vandana} & 20{,}400\\ & & \text{By Loss: Arti} & 13{,}600\\\hline \text{Total} & 3{,}50{,}000 & \text{Total} & 3{,}50{,}000\\\hline\end{array}\]
Loss = 3,50,000 − 2,82,000 = ₹68,000, shared 5 : 3 : 2.
Note: General Reserve and Cash at Bank do not go to Realisation Account.

Azhar, Sumit and Robit share profits 3 : 1 : 1. Balance Sheet on 31 March 2023: Creditors ₹90,000; General Reserve ₹60,000; Capitals Azhar ₹60,000, Sumit ₹40,000, Robit ₹20,000 (total ₹2,70,000). Assets: Bank ₹20,000, Stock ₹40,000, Debtors ₹1,50,000, Fixed Assets ₹60,000.
Robit died on 30 June 2023. His legal representatives are entitled to: (i) his capital balance; (ii) his share of General Reserve; (iii) interest on capital @10% p.a.; (iv) his share of goodwill, the firm's goodwill being three times the average profit of the last four years; (v) his share of profit till death, based on last year's profit.
Profits: 2019-20 ₹(3,000) loss; 2020-21 ₹28,000; 2021-22 ₹16,000; 2022-23 ₹15,000.
Prepare Robit's Capital Account to be rendered to his legal representatives.
Answer
Amount due to Robit's legal representatives = ₹41,650
Workings:
General Reserve share = 1/5 × 60,000 = ₹12,000.
Interest on capital = 20,000 × 10% × 3/12 = ₹500.
Average profit = (−3,000 + 28,000 + 16,000 + 15,000) ÷ 4 = 56,000 ÷ 4 = ₹14,000; goodwill = 3 × 14,000 = ₹42,000; Robit's share = 1/5 × 42,000 = ₹8,400, borne by Azhar and Sumit in gaining ratio 3 : 1 → ₹6,300 and ₹2,100.
Profit till death = 15,000 × 1/5 × 3/12 = ₹750 (Profit and Loss Suspense).
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|l|r|}\hline \text{Dr.} & \text{₹} & \text{Cr.} & \text{₹}\\\hline \text{To Robit's Legal Representatives A/c} & 41{,}650 & \text{By Balance b/d} & 20{,}000\\ & & \text{By General Reserve} & 12{,}000\\ & & \text{By Interest on Capital} & 500\\ & & \text{By Azhar's Capital} & 6{,}300\\ & & \text{By Sumit's Capital} & 2{,}100\\ & & \text{By P\&L Suspense} & 750\\\hline \text{Total} & 41{,}650 & \text{Total} & 41{,}650\\\hline\end{array}\]

On 1 April 2022 Zubian Ltd. issued ₹10,00,000 of 7% Debentures of ₹100 each at a 6% premium, redeemable after five years at a 4% premium. The company already had ₹30,000 in Securities Premium Account.
(a) Pass the journal entries for the issue and for writing off 'Loss on Issue of Debentures' out of Securities Premium at the end of the first year itself.
(b) Prepare the Loss on Issue of Debentures Account for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Answer
Issue: Bank ₹10,60,000; Securities Premium ₹60,000; Loss on issue ₹40,000 written off from Securities Premium
Number of debentures = 10,00,000 ÷ 100 = 10,000; issue price ₹106; redemption price ₹104.
(a) Journal:

31 Mar 2023: Securities Premium A/c ... Dr. ₹40,000
To Loss on Issue of Debentures A/c ₹40,000
(Securities Premium available = 30,000 + 60,000 = ₹90,000, enough to write off the whole loss.)
(b) Loss on Issue of Debentures Account:

Qumtan Ltd. invited applications for 1,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each at a premium of ₹6 per share: ₹8 on application-cum-allotment (including ₹3 premium) and the balance (including premium) on first and final call. Applications came for 1,60,000 shares; those for 10,000 shares were rejected and the rest got pro-rata allotment, with all excess money refunded. Dheeraj, holding 200 shares, did not pay the call and his shares were forfeited. All forfeited shares were reissued at ₹5 per share fully paid.
Pass the journal entries in the books of Qumtan Ltd.
Answer
Refund ₹4,80,000; call due ₹8,00,000 (₹5,00,000 capital + ₹3,00,000 premium); forfeiture ₹1,000 fully used on reissue (no capital reserve)

5. Forfeiture: Equity Share Capital A/c Dr. ₹2,000 (200 × 10); Securities Premium A/c Dr. ₹600 (200 × 3, not received)
To Calls in Arrears A/c ₹1,600; To Share Forfeiture A/c ₹1,000 (200 × 5 paid towards capital)
6. Reissue: Bank A/c Dr. ₹1,000; Share Forfeiture A/c Dr. ₹1,000
To Equity Share Capital A/c ₹2,000
Forfeiture balance = 1,000 − 1,000 = 0, so nothing goes to Capital Reserve.
Common mistake: crediting the ₹3 premium paid on application to Share Forfeiture – premium already received stays in Securities Premium.

On 1 April 2023 Pari is admitted for a 1/4 share on these terms: (i) she brings ₹50,000 as capital and ₹50,000 as goodwill premium; (ii) fixed assets are depreciated by 30%; (iii) stock is revalued at ₹45,000; (iv) the bank loan is paid off; (v) old partners' capitals are adjusted on the basis of Pari's capital, the difference being settled in cash.
Prepare the Revaluation Account and Partners' Capital Accounts.
Answer
Revaluation loss ₹20,000 (Shubhi ₹12,000, Revanshi ₹8,000); Shubhi withdraws ₹6,000, Revanshi brings ₹4,000; closing capitals ₹90,000, ₹60,000, ₹50,000
Revaluation: Dr. To Fixed Assets (30% of 90,000) ₹27,000; Cr. By Stock (45,000 − 38,000) ₹7,000, By Loss – Shubhi ₹12,000, Revanshi ₹8,000 (total ₹27,000).
Goodwill premium ₹50,000 goes to old partners in sacrificing ratio = old ratio 3 : 2 → ₹30,000 and ₹20,000. General Reserve 3 : 2 → ₹18,000 and ₹12,000.
Required capitals: total = 50,000 × 4 = ₹2,00,000; old partners hold 3/4 = 1,50,000 in 3 : 2 → Shubhi ₹90,000, Revanshi ₹60,000.

Prepare the Revaluation Account and Partners' Capital Accounts.
Answer
Revaluation loss ₹18,000; Shashi's loan ₹9,000; Rishi ₹40,200 and Trishi ₹22,800 carried down
Ratio = 3 : 1 : 2. Revaluation: Dr. To Fixed Assets (80,000 − 56,000) ₹24,000; Cr. By Stock (taken at 26,000 vs 20,000) ₹6,000, By Loss ₹18,000 → Rishi 9,000, Shashi 3,000, Trishi 6,000.
General Reserve 3 : 1 : 2 → 15,000, 5,000, 10,000.
Shashi's goodwill share = 1/6 × 18,000 = ₹3,000, borne by Rishi and Trishi in gaining ratio 3 : 2 → ₹1,800 and ₹1,200.

Doughnut chart: like a pie chart it shows how parts make up a whole, but data is drawn as rings and each ring is one data series, so it can show more than one series. It is a little harder to read than a pie.
Exploded doughnut chart: like an exploded pie, its segments are separated from the ring so that each value's contribution to the total is emphasised; it too can hold more than one data series.

Option I — Analysis of Financial Statements
From the data below, calculate (a) Quick Ratio and (b) Inventory Turnover Ratio.
Current Assets ₹4,00,000; Inventory ₹1,00,000; Current Liabilities ₹2,00,000; Net Profit before Tax ₹7,20,000; Revenue from Operations ₹10,00,000; Gross Profit Ratio 20%.
Answer
Quick Ratio = 1.5 : 1; Inventory Turnover Ratio = 8 times
(a) Quick assets = 4,00,000 − 1,00,000 = ₹3,00,000.
Quick Ratio = 3,00,000 ÷ 2,00,000 = 1.5 : 1.
(b) Gross profit = 20% of 10,00,000 = ₹2,00,000.
Cost of revenue from operations = 10,00,000 − 2,00,000 = ₹8,00,000.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = 8,00,000 ÷ 1,00,000 (only one inventory figure, so taken as average) = 8 times.
Note: Net profit before tax is not needed – a distractor.

Explain 'Password security' and 'Data audit' as security features of a Computerised Accounting System.
Answer
Password security controls who can access which data; data audit records who changed what, fixing responsibility
Password security: a password is the key that allows a user into the system. User rights are defined as per the organisation's policy, so a person can be allowed access to one set of data and denied access to another.
Data audit: this feature shows who made which changes in the original data. It helps to fix responsibility on the person who altered the data and ensures data integrity – similar to an audit trail.

Option I — Analysis of Financial Statements
Calculate 'Cash Flows from Operating Activities' from: Surplus (balance in Statement of Profit and Loss) ₹6,28,000; Provision for tax ₹1,50,000; Proposed dividend for the previous year ₹72,000; Depreciation ₹1,40,000; Loss on sale of machinery ₹30,000; Gain on sale of investments ₹20,000; Dividend received on investments ₹6,000; Increase in current liabilities ₹1,61,000; Increase in current assets (other than cash and cash equivalents) ₹6,00,000; Decrease in current liabilities ₹64,000; Income tax paid ₹1,18,000.
Answer
Net cash from operating activities = ₹3,73,000
Net profit before tax = 6,28,000 + 1,50,000 (tax provision) + 72,000 (dividend paid out of profits) = ₹8,50,000.
\[\begin{array}{|l|r|}\hline \text{Particulars} & \text{₹}\\\hline \text{Net profit before tax} & 8{,}50{,}000\\ \text{Add: Depreciation} & 1{,}40{,}000\\ \text{Add: Loss on sale of machinery} & 30{,}000\\ \text{Less: Gain on sale of investments} & (20{,}000)\\ \text{Less: Dividend received} & (6{,}000)\\\hline \text{Operating profit before WC changes} & 9{,}94{,}000\\ \text{Add: Increase in current liabilities} & 1{,}61{,}000\\ \text{Less: Increase in current assets} & (6{,}00{,}000)\\ \text{Less: Decrease in current liabilities} & (64{,}000)\\\hline \text{Cash generated from operations} & 4{,}91{,}000\\ \text{Less: Income tax paid} & (1{,}18{,}000)\\\hline \text{Net cash from operating activities} & 3{,}73{,}000\\\hline\end{array}\]

Option II — Computerised Accounting
Explain the two syntax forms of the LOOKUP function.
Answer
Vector form: LOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_vector, result_vector); Array form: LOOKUP(lookup_value, array)
1. Vector form – =LOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_vector, result_vector)
• Searches a one-row or one-column range (lookup_vector) for the value and returns the value from the same position in a second one-row/one-column range (result_vector).
• lookup_value can be a number, text, logical value or a name.
• lookup_vector contains a single row or column; result_vector must be of the same size.
2. Array form – =LOOKUP(lookup_value, array)
• Searches the first row or column of the array for the value and returns the value from the same position in the last row or column.
• If an exact match is not found, it uses the largest value that is less than or equal to lookup_value.
• If lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in the first row/column, it returns #N/A.
• array is a range of cells containing text, numbers or logical values.
