5A. Complete the concept map.

Question 1.

Answer:

5B. State whether the following statements are True or False with reasons.

Question 1.
Technology is always useful for social progress.
Answer:
This statement is False.

Though technology produces skilled workers, good quality material and well-paid job opportunities, materialistic comfort, easy travel, communication of media, easy access to information, and present opportunities for social progress. It has an adverse impact too.

The Internet has given us access to data which is good for many reasons but the internet also is a means to an entire virtual world which can be problematic it may lead to internet addiction when there is a compelling need on the part of an individual to have to continuously access specific internet sites for gaming, adult sites, pornography, social media, entertainment, and stimulation.

Similarly, if one goes beyond a mobile phone like a gadget, to what the phone does for us, it opens a Pandora’s Box of possibilities like connectivity, social media networking, gaming, access to the web world, filming, editing, creative enterprises, and numerous apps serving a variety of needs which creates mobile addiction. It develops an urge to be on a call constantly and a habit of checking one’s messages during sleep also leads to anxiety caused by loss of one’s phone and contacts. Thus, technology can take a toll on mental and physical well-being too.

Question 2.
There is a strong causal relationship between addiction and socialisation.
Answer:
This statement is True.

Peer groups, family, neighbourhood, society, mass media are important agencies of socialisation. Generally, individuals do not opt consciously to become an ‘addict’. It is what they become over a period of time. Under the influence of several factors.

Peer pressure and social status – Friends in a group may knowingly or unknowingly pressurize others to adopt certain habits in order to ‘fit in’ which is common among students but it can also cut across other age categories e.g., the habit of smoking or ‘doing weed’ among friends.

Consuming narcotic drugs or imported brands of alcohol may be considered a fad in certain groups; non-conformity could lead to isolation or labelling. Thus, friends play important role in socialising addictive behaviour.

6. Give your personal response.

Question 1.
Why do you think women are usually the victims in most reported cases of domestic violence?
Answer:

• Yes, most women are the victims in most reported cases of domestic violence.
• Due to the patriarchal system in which says unwritten acceptance of male authority.
• Religious outlook and traditional mind are set especially in institutions like marriage, family, religion which gives supremacy of men over women in almost every sphere of life.
• Economic dependency of women on men.
• And women are most vulnerable in the weaker sections of society.
• So, I think women are usually the victims in most reported cases of domestic violence.

Question 2.
Discuss how keeping aged parents in a ‘Home for the Aged’ can have positive and negative consequences.
Answer:
Any statement/matter has two sides i.e., positive and negative. Same way keeping aged parents in a ‘Home for the aged’ can have positive and negative sides.
(i) First, we see the positive side:

• In the 21st century, couples both go to work in that case to get the proper care they prefer ‘Home for the aged’
• In these old age homes, elderly people meet many people of their age, this allows them to make new friends with whom they can talk and do various group activities.
• Old age home provides food on time and health care facility also.

(ii) Negative side:

• The materialist world and individualistic approach force people to depend on Home for Aged for taking care of their aging parents, depriving them of their responsibilities towards them.
• It’s the youngster’s duty to care for our old people and handle their needs.
• Most of the old age homes are lack basic amenities, so instead of caring for elderly persons, they may get face vulnerability in old age homes.

7. Answer the following question in detail. (About 150-200 words)

Question 1.
Discuss why farmers’ suicide is a social problem today. Suggest suitable socio-economic measures to support the farmers.
Answer:
India is described as an agrarian society, 70% Indian population is involved in agrarian work. Farmers are the pillar of the Indian agrarian workforce. The past decade has witnessed an increasing number of farmer suicides. Farmer suicide is a serious social problem. Farmer’s suicide is a social problem because it has an adverse impact on their families, spouse, children, economy, and society at large.

Following are the social-economic measures to support farmers:
Support to farmers in distress: Farmers need a support system to help them with various crises that arise due to irregular monsoons, crop failure, failure, indebtedness, etc.

Insurance: Life insurance for distressed farmers and this family and crop insurance against crop failure, failure of monsoons, destruction of agricultural produce by locusts or viruses, etc., should be provided to farmers.

Provisions for direct sales from farmers to buyers: Removal of middlemen, agents, brokers who grab a large share of the profits and leaving a meager sum for marginal/small farmers who actually put their sweat to grow the crop.

Water harvesting: Water is a basic and essential requirement for farming so for good yield. Effective measures for water harvesting and water management are necessary.

Role of banks: Banks and cooperative credit societies need to set up their systems in farmer-friendly ways. The disbursement of loans to farmers and also need to encourage a saving habit among farmers.

Multi cropping: Farmers need a strong support system from the government to provide training to farmers for growing two or more crops on the same piece of land in the same growing season.

View 10-15 Television advertisements and analyse the extent to which advertisements promote or reinforce: gender stereotypes. Also, try to find out advertisements that do not present gender stereotypes.
Have a class discussion after viewing select advertisements.
Answer:
In the world, the biggest platform to influence people is none other than television. Television has been used in society for awareness campaigns such as for Polio, Literacy, Covid-19, etc., but as we know every coin has two sides. Similarly, this platform is misused by many companies for their vested interests.

Example:
In the advertisement of a fairness cream, it implies that only fair women are beautiful and only they can climb the ladder of success, and if they are dark or brown then you won’t be successful and aren’t considered beautiful.

Simply for the sale of their product, these companies resort to blatant racism and age-old gender stereotypes, indirectly stressing that women should be fair.

Some examples of advertisements that do not present gender stereotypes are Sasa detergent powder, Rambandhu papad masala, Bajaj LED bulbs, etc.

Question 1.

Question 2.
On dissolution Cash/Bank Account is closed automatically.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As the firm is dissolved, there is no question of any business activities to be carried out further and so Cash/Bank Account is also not necessary. Therefore on dissolution Cash/Bank Account is closed automatically.

Question 3.
On dissolution, Bank overdraft is transferred to Realisation Account.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As a sundry liability of the business, bank overdraft is a liability of a firm and hence, it is transferred to Realisation Account at the time of dissolution and paid a third party Liability.

Question 4.
A solvent partner having a debit balance to his Capital Account does not share the deficiency of insolvent partner Capital Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
In the partnership, the partner’s liability is unlimited so, a solvent partner having a debit balance to his Capital Account should share the deficiency of the insolvent partner capital account.

Question 5.
At the time of dissolution of the partnership, all assets should be transferred to Realisation Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of dissolution of the partnership, the cash account and Bank A/c are not transferred to Realisation A/c. Similarly, if an asset is taken over by a partner or by any creditor then that asset is transferred to the concerned person’s account and not to the Realisation Account.

Question 6.
The debit balance of an insolvent partner’s Capital Account is known as a capital deficiency.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Debit balance of Partners’ Capital Account means the excess of drawings than the capital credit balance. In the case of an insolvent partner, the debit balance of the Capital Account means liabilities which he cannot pay. It means capital deficiency.

Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of dissolution, a loan from a partner will be paid after the payment of liabilities of third parties to the firm. It is not transferred to Realisation Account. Partner’s Loan A/c is separately opened and paid accordingly.

Answer:
This statement is True.
As per definition, Dissolution means to wind up or to close down, and it is possible only when relations among the partners in a partnership firm come to an end.

Question 9.
The insolvency loss at the time of dissolution of the firm is shared by the solvent partners in their profit sharing ratio.
Answer:
This statement is True.
In the partnership, partners’ liability is unlimited and in case of insolvency loss, legally solvent partners are ultimately liable and are suppose to bear the loss of an insolvent partner in their profit sharing ratio.

Question 10.
Realization loss is not transferred to insolvent partner’s Capital Account.
Answer:
This statement is False.
All partners of the firm are responsible for Loss on realization and hence loss on realization is supposed to be transferred to all Partners’ Capital Account, without any discrimination of solvent or insolvent.

D. Calculate the following:

Question 1.
Vinod, Vijay, and Vishal are partners in a firm sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Vishal becomes insolvent and his capital deficiency is ₹ 6000. Distribute the capital deficiency among the solvent partner.
Answer:
Here, capital deficiency of ₹ 6000 is to be distributed among continuing partners in their profit and loss sharing ratio, i.e. 3 : 2
Share of deficiency for Vinod = 6,000 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) = ₹ 3,600
Share of deficiency for Vijay = 6,000 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = ₹ 2,400
Vinod and Vijay will bear ₹ 3,600 and ₹ 2,400 of Vishal’s capital deficiency.

Answer:
Ratio of creditors, Bills payable and Bank Loan = 30,000 : 20,000 : 10,000 i.e., 3 : 2 : 1
Amount received by creditors = \(\frac{3}{3+2+1}\) × 40,000
= \(\frac{3}{6}\) × 40,000
= ₹ 20,000.

Question 3.
Insolvent Partner Capital A/c debit side total is ₹ 10,000 and credit side total is ₹ 6,000. Calculate deficiency.
Answer:
Deficiency of insolvent partner = Debit side total – Credit side total
= 10,000 – 6,000
= ₹ 4,000.

Question 4.
Insolvent Partners Capital A/c debit side is ₹ 15,000 and insolvent partner brought cash ₹ 6,000. Calculate the amount of insolvency loss to be distributed among the solvent partners.
Answer:
₹ 9,000 (15,000 – 6,000) is the amount of insolvency loss to be distributed among the solvent partners.

Question 5.
The realization profit of a firm is ₹ 6,000, partners share profit and loss in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Calculate the amount of realization profit to be credited to Partners’ Capital A/c.
Answer:
Distribution of ₹ 6,000 in 3 : 2 : 1 ratio

Solution:
In the books of Sangeeta, Anita, and Smita


Working Notes:
1. Amount paid towards Sandhya’s Loan = Loan amount + Interest due on loan
= 1,20,000 + 6,000
= ₹ 1,26,000

2. Amount received from Debtors = Debtors – Bad debts
= 1,25,000 – 10% of 1,25,000
= 1,25,000 – 12,500
= ₹ 1,12,500

3. Amount paid to Creditors = Creditor – 5% discount
= 1,20,000 – 5% on 1,20,000
= 1,20,000 – 6,000
= ₹ 1,14,000

4. Amount paid towards Bills payable = Bills payable – 5% discount
= 20,000 – 5% on 20,000
= 20,000 – 1,000
= ₹ 19,000

G. Calculate the following.

Question 1.
One shareholder holding 500 equity shares paid share application money @ ₹ 3, Allotment money @ ₹ 4 per share and failed to pay a final call of ₹ 3 per share his share was forfeited calculate the amount of forfeiture.
Solution:
Amount of forfeiture = Amount received by the company (In case of non-payment of ‘calls’)
Here, shareholders paid ₹ 3 per share on application and ₹ 4 per share on the allotment on 500 shares.
So, total amount received by company = 500 × ₹ 3 + 500 × ₹ 4
= 1,500 + 2,000
= ₹ 3,500
∴ Amount of share forfeiture = ₹ 3,500.

Question 2.
10,000 equity shares of ₹ 10 each issued at a 10% premium. Calculate the total amount of share premium.
Solution:
Equity shares = 10,000
Face value = ₹ 10 per share
Premium @ 10% = 10,000 × 10 × \(\frac{10}{100}\) = ₹ 10,000
So, premium 10,000 shares of ₹ 10 each at 10% = ₹ 10,000

Question 3.
The company received excess applications for 5000 shares @ ₹ 4 per share. The application of 1000 shares was rejected and a pro-rata allotment was made. Calculate the amount of application money adjusted with allotment.
Solution:
Excess application money received for 5000 shares @ ₹ 4 per share = ₹ 20,000
Less: Application of 1000 shares rejected and money refunded = ₹ 4,000
Excess money received to be adjusted with allotment = ₹ 16,000

Question 4.
80,000 equity shares of ₹ 10 each issued and fully subscribed and called up at 20% premium. Calculate the amount of Equity Share capital.
Answer:
Equity Share capital = No. of equity shares × face value of each share
= 80,000 × ₹ 10
= ₹ 8,00,000
Note: Equity Share capital has no concern with premium or discount amount.

Question 5.
Directors issued 20,000 equity shares of ₹ 100 each at par. These were fully subscribed and called up. All money was received except one shareholder holding 100 equity shares failed to pay a final call of ₹ 20 per share. Calculate the amount of Paid-up capital of the company.
Solution:
Fully subscribed and called-up amount = 20,000 equity shares × ₹ 100 each share
= ₹ 20,00,000
But one share holder failed to pay final call of ₹ 20 per share of 100 equity shares means
Non-payment of shares = 100 equity shares × ₹ 20 per share = ₹ 2,000
∴ Total Paid-up capital amount = ₹ 20,00,000 – ₹ 2,000 = ₹ 19,98,000

Question 6.
The company sends a regret letter for 100 shares and an Allotment letter to 25,000 shareholders. Application money per ₹ 20 per share. Calculate the amount of application money that the company is refunding.
Solution:
The company sends a Regret letter for 100 shares for ₹ 20 per share application money received i.e. only that much amount the company will refund.
Amount of refund = No. of shares × Value of per share
= 100 × ₹ 20
= ₹ 2,000

(C) Konark Ltd. forfeited 50 shares of ₹ 10 each, ₹ 8 called-up. The shareholder failed to pay the first call of ₹ 3 per share. Later on, 30 shares of these were re-issued at ₹ 7 per share.
Solution:
Journal Entries [For Asha Ltd.]

Working Notes for A:
1. Out of 100 forfeited shares, 80 shares were re-issued accordingly Equity Share Capital A/c is debited and credited.
2. To find the proportionate amount for Forfeiture A/c:
For 100 shares-share forfeiture amount = ₹ 1,200
∴ 80 shares – share forfeiture amount = ₹ 960
Now, out of this ₹ 960 we used ₹ 400 from Share Forfeiture A/c at the time of re-issue of shares.
So, balance of Share Forfeiture A/c = ₹ 960 – ₹ 400 = ₹ 560

Journal Entries [For Bhakti Ltd.]

Working Notes for B:
1. Out of 100 forfeited shares, 80 shares were re-issued accordingly Equity Share Capital A/c is debited for ₹ 600 and credited for ₹ 480.

2. The proportionate amount debited to Forfeiture A/c:
For 100 shares-share forfeiture amount debited = ₹ 500 1 Qn
∴ 80 shares – share forfeiture amount = ₹ \(\frac{80}{100} \times \frac{500}{1}\) = ₹ 400
Now, shares were re-issued at ₹ 6 per share which is a called-up amount.
∴ The proportionate amount for Forfeiture A/c ₹ 400 will be transferred to Capital Reserve A/c.

For 50 shares – share forfeiture amount debited is ₹ 250
∴ 30 shares-share forfeiture amount = ₹ \(\frac{30}{50} \times 250\) = ₹ 150
Out of this ₹ 30 used for re-issue of forfeited shares.
∴ Balance of Share Forfeiture A/c = ₹ 150 – ₹ 30 = ₹ 120.

C. State True or False with reasons:

Question 1.
A new partner can bring capital in cash or kind.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As per the provision of partnership deed, when any person is admitted in the firm, he has to bring some amount as capital which can be in cash or in-kind of assets to get rights in the assets and definite share in the future profit of the firm.

Question 2.
When goodwill is paid privately to the partners, it is not recorded in the books.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When goodwill is paid privately to the partners, by a newly admitted person, then in such case no transaction takes place in the business, and the firm as such is not all benefited. Hence it is not recorded in the books of accounts.

Question 3.
The gain ratio is calculated at the time of admission of a partner.
Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of admission of a person, in the business, sacrifices are made by the old partners in favour of the new partner. It means there is no question of any gain to the partners, so we can say that the Gain ratio is not calculated at the time of admission of a partner.

Question 4.
Revaluation profit is distributed among all partners including new partners.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Revaluation profit arises due to efforts and hardworking of the old partners in the past and hence profit earned on revaluation of assets and liabilities at the time of admission of a person as a partner in the business belongs to old partners. So, such profit is not distributed among all partners including the new partners. It is distributed only among old partners.

Question 5.
Change in the relationship between the partners is called as Reconstitution of Partnership.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When any person joins the business as a partner, a change in the relationship takes place. The old agreement is terminated and a new agreement is prepared. There is the change in profit or loss sharing ratio and relationship of the partners which is known as Reconstitution of Partnership.

Question 6.
New partners always bring their share of goodwill in cash.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When a new person is admitted to the partnership firm, the old partners surrender a certain share in profit and give it to a new partner. In exchange for that new partner is required to bring goodwill in cash or in kind. If he is unable to bring cash for goodwill, then Goodwill is raised and adjusted to the new partner’s capital A/c.

Question 7.
When the goodwill is written off, the goodwill account is debited.
Answer:
This statement is False.
To write off goodwill means to decrease or wipe out the value of goodwill. When goodwill as an asset of the business is raised, Goodwill A/c is debited in the books of Account. Conversely, when Goodwill is written off from the business, the Goodwill A/c is credited in the books of business.

Question 8.
The new ratio minus the old ratio is equal to the sacrifice ratio.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When a new partner is admitted, old partners have to sacrifice their profit share in favour of the new partner and their old ratio gets reduced and whatever ratio is left becomes a new ratio. Hence, as per equation:
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrifice Ratio.
By interchanging the terms,
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio.

Question 9.
Usually, when a new partner is admitted to the firm, there will be an increase in the capital of the firm.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When a new partner is admitted to the firm, he brings his share of capital and goodwill, in cash or in-kind, to enjoy the right of sharing the future profit, and hence there will be an increase in the capital of the firm.

Question 10.
Cash/Bank Account is credited when goodwill is withdrawn by the old partners.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When a new partner brings his share of goodwill, old partners have the right to withdraw it in cash. Therefore, when old partners withdraw the amount of goodwill, cash goes out from the firm and not goodwill. Hence Cash/Bank A/c is credited.

D. Find the odd one.

Question 1.
General reserve, Creditors, Machinery, Capital
Answer:
Machinery

Question 2.
Decrease in Furniture, Patents wrote off, Increase in Bills payable, R.D.D. written off
Answer:

E. Calculate the following:

Question 1.
A and B are partners in a firm sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 1 : 1. C is admitted. A surrenders 1/4th share and B surrenders 1/5th of his share in favour of C. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution:
Old ratio of A and B = 1 : 1 or \(\frac{1}{2}\) : \(\frac{1}{2}\)
A’s sacrifice = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}\)
B’s sacrifice = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Sacrificing ratio of A and B = \(\frac{1}{8}\) : \(\frac{1}{10}\) = 5 : 4
C’s share = A’s share + B’s share = \(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{5+4}{40}=\frac{9}{40}\)
A’s new share = Old ratio – Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{4-1}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\)
B’s new share = Old ratio – Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{5-1}{10}=\frac{4}{10}\)
Therefore, New ratio of A, B and C = \(\frac{3}{8}: \frac{4}{10}: \frac{9}{40}\) = 15 : 16 : 9
(Making denominator equal)

Question 2.
Anika and Radhika are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 5 : 1. They decide to admit Sanika to the firm for 1/5th share. Calculate the Sacrifice ratio of Anika and Radhika.
Solution:
Balance = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{4}{5}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio x Balance of 1
Anika’s New ratio = \(\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{20}{30}\)
Radhika’s New ratio = \(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{4}{30}\)
Sanika’s New ratio = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{6}{30}\) (Making denominator equal)
∴ New Profit and Loss ratio = \(\frac{20}{30}: \frac{4}{30}: \frac{6}{30}\) = 20 : 4 : 6 i.e. 10 : 2 : 3
Sacrifice ratio = old ratio – New ratio
Anika’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{5}{6}-\frac{20}{30}=\frac{25-20}{30}=\frac{5}{30}\)
Radhika’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{1}{6}-\frac{4}{30}=\frac{5-4}{30}=\frac{1}{30}\)
∴ Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{5}{30}: \frac{1}{30}\) = 5 : 1

Question 3.
Pramod and Vinod are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. After the admission of Ramesh the New ratio of Pramod, Vinod and Ramesh are 4 : 3 : 2. Find out the Sacrifice ratio.
Solution:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Pramod’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{27-20}{45}=\frac{7}{45}\)
Vinod’s Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{9}=\frac{18-15}{45}=\frac{3}{45}\)
∴ Sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{7}{45}: \frac{3}{45}\) = 7 : 3.

Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of new profit ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Vikram’s new ratio = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{20}\)
Pradnya’s new ratio = \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{20}\)
Avani’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{20}\)
∴ New profit sharing ratio = 6 : 9 : 5.
Capital amount adjusted in their new profit and loss ratio:
Total Capital of the Partnership Firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Share) × (Capital of New Partner)
= (Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{4}\)) × 37,500
= 4 × 37,500
= ₹ 1,50,000
Vikram’s Capital balance = (Vikram’s New Ratio) × (Total Capital of the firm)
= \(\frac{6}{20}\) × 1,50,000 = ₹ 45,000
Pradnya’s Capital balance = \(\frac{9}{20}\) × 1,50,000 = ₹ 67,500

1. Average Profit = \(\frac{Total Profit}{No. of years}\)
= \(\frac{48,000+81,000+73,500}{3}\)
= ₹ 67,500
∴ Goodwill value = ₹ 67,500
Vasu’s share in Goodwill = ₹ 40,500 (67,500 × \(\frac{3}{5}\))
Viraj’s share in Goodwill = ₹ 27,000 (67,500 × \(\frac{2}{5}\))

Solution:
In the books of the firm __________


Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Note:
Calculation of new ratio : Balance of 1 = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{4}{5}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Deep’s new ratio = \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{3}{5}\)
Karan’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Shubham’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ New profit and loss sharing ratio = 3 : 1 : 1
Capital amount to be adjusted in Partner’s new profit and loss ratio:
Total Capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of New partner’s share) × (New partner’s capital)
= 5 × 20,000
= ₹ 1,00,000
Deep’s capital balance = \(\frac {3}{5}\) × 1,00,000 = ₹ 60,000

Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1.

2. Calculation of new profit sharing ratio:
New Ratio = (Balance of 1) × (old ratio)
Kishor’s New ratio = \(\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right) \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{5}\)
Lal’s New ratio = \(\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right) \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Ram’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

3. Total capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of Ram’s ratio) × (His capital contribution)
= \(\frac{5}{1}\) × 60,000 = ₹ 3,00,000
Kishor’s new closing capital balance = 3,00,000 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) = ₹ 1,80,000
Lai’s new closing capital balance = 3,00,000 × \(\frac{1}{5}\) = ₹ 60,000

3. Aparna should bring ₹ 60,000 as capital for her 1/4th share in future profits.
4. The Capital accounts of all the partners be adjusted in proportion to the new profit sharing ratio by opening the Current accounts of the partners.
Prepare Profit and Loss-Adjustment A/c, Partners’ Capital A/c, Balance Sheet of the new firm.
Solution:

Balance Sheet as on 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1. R.D.D. to be increased by ₹ 5,000 means subtract ₹ 5,000 from Debtors.

2. Bills receivable taken by Vrushali at 10 % discount i.e. 12,000 – 1,200 = ₹ 10,800.
Write this amount on the debit side of the partners’ Capital Account in Vrushali’s column.

3. Calculation of new ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio × Balance 1 (Remaining Share)
Vrushali’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Leena’s new ratio = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Aparna’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ Partner’s new profit and loss ratio = \(\frac{3}{8}: \frac{3}{8}: \frac{1}{4}\) = 3 : 3 : 2
Now, capital amount to be adjusted in partners new profit and loss ratio.
Total capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Share) × (New Partner’s Capital)
= (Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{4}\)) × 60,000
= 4 × 60,000
= ₹ 2,40,000
Vrushali’s capital balance = \(\frac {3}{8}\) × 2,40,000 = ₹ 90,000
Leela’s capital balance = \(\frac {3}{8}\) × 2,40,000 = ₹ 90,000
The deficit of these capital balances is to be adjusted through the Current account.
To keep the balance of Vrushali’s and Leena’s capital ₹ 90,000 each, deficit of ₹ 53,850 and ₹ 58,050 are incurred which is transferred to the respective Partner’s Current A/cs and recorded on the Asset side of Balance Sheet [As it is to be recovered from Partners].

You are required to prepare Profit and Loss-Adjustment A/c, Partners’ Capital A/c, Balance Sheet of the new firm.
Solution:


Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2018

Working Notes:
1. Total capital of the firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Profit Sharing ratio) × (Capital contributed by new partner)
= (Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{5}\)) × 40,000
= 5 × 40,000
= ₹ 2,00,000
Medha’s closing capital, balance = \(\frac{3}{5}\) × 2,00,000 = ₹ 1,20,000
Radha’s closing capital balance = \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 2,00,000 = ₹ 40,000

2. General reserve is distributed among old partners in their old profit and loss ratio.

Solution:


Balance Sheet as of 1st April 2017

Working Notes:
1. Cash in hand = Opening balance + Varad’s capital + Varad’s goodwill (amount brought in)

= ₹ 1,60,000

2. Sacrifice ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Sahil’s sacrifice = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{24-15}{40}=\frac{9}{40}\)
Nikhil’s sacrifice = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{8}=\frac{16-10}{40}=\frac{6}{40}\)

1. Cash balance = Opening balance + Amount brought in by Kamal
= 1,10,000 + 50,000 + 40,000
= ₹ 2,00,000

2. For calculation of new profit and loss ratio:

= 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\) (Remaining share)
New ratio = old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Amit’s new ratio = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{20}\)
Baban’s new ratio = \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{20}\)
Kamal’s ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{20}\)

Answer:

C. State whether the following statements are True or False with reasons:

Question 1.
An Inland bill is one that is drawn in one country and payable in another country.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Inland bill means, a bill drawn, accepted, and made payable within the territory of one and same, country. So, a bill is drawn in one country and payable in another country can’t be an inland bill.

Question 2.
Retirement of the bill means payment of the bill before the due date.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Payment of the bill, by the acceptor of the bill to the holder of the bill before the due date, is known as Retirement of the bill. So retirement of the bill means payment of the bill before the due date.

Question 3.
Drawee can transfer the ownership of the bill.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Drawee is a debtor. He has to pay the amount of the bill to its holder on the due date. Hence he cannot transfer its ownership to other people. The drawer can transfer the ownership of the bill as he is the owner of the bill.

Question 4.
Acceptance of the bill without making any changes in the terms of the bill is called qualified acceptance.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Acceptance of the bill with some changes as regards the terms, amount, place, etc. of a bill is known as qualified acceptance. Acceptance of the bill without making changes as regards the term is called general acceptance.

Question 5.
Discounting is a device to convert the bill into its present value.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When the drawer or holder of the bill approaches the bank to discount the bill, the bank pays the bill amount after deducting a certain amount (which is known as discounting charges). It means conversion of the bill into its present value in cash. So, we can say that discounting is a device to convert the bill into its present value.

Question 6.
A bill of exchange must be presented to the acceptor on the due date.
Answer:
This statement is True.
To get the payment of the bill from the acceptor, the holder of the bill is required to present it to the acceptor on its due date. Acceptor either honours the bill or dishonours the bill.

Question 7.
If a bill is discounted by the holder, no entry is passed in his book when the bill is honoured on the due date.
Answer:
This statement is True.
On discounting the bill the holder gives the possession of the bill to the bank. On the maturity date, the bank has to present the bill to the drawee to collect the payment. When the discounted bill is honoured, the transaction takes place between drawee and bank.

Question 8.
Noting charges are to be borne by the drawer.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Noting charges are to be borne by the drawee only as due to his act of non-payment, the bill is dishonoured and the drawer is not able to get money on its due date.

Question 9.
If a bill is drawn payable ‘on demand’ no grace days are allowed.
Answer:
This statement is True.
‘On demand’ means the amount of the bill is to be paid by drawee immediately on presentation of the bill as no time period is mentioned on it. In demand bill, 3 days grace is not allowed by law.

Question 10.
There are three parties to a promissory note.
Answer:
This statement is False.
There are only two parties to a promissory note, i.e. Drawer or maker of the note and drawee or payee of the note.

H. Calculations:

Question 1.
Ganesh draws a bill for ₹ 40,260 on 15th Jan. 2020 for 50 days. He discounted the bill with the Bank of India @ 15 % p.a. on the same day. Calculate the amount of discount.
Solution:
Discount = Amount of Bill × \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{100} \times \frac{\text { Unexpired days }}{366}\)
= 40,260 × \(\frac{15}{100} \times \frac{50}{366}\)
= ₹ 825
(Note: 2020 is a Leap year, so the total number of days = 366)

Question 2.
Shefali Traders drew a bill on Maya for ₹ 30,000 on 1st Oct. 2019 payable after 3 months.
Calculate the amount of discount in the following cases:
(i) Shefali Traders discounted the bill on the same day @ 12 % p.a.
(ii) Shefali Traders discounted the bill on 1st Nov. 2019 @ 12 % p.a.
(iii) Shefali Traders discounted the bill on 1st Dec. 2019 @ 12 % p.a.
Solution:
Discount = Amount of Bill × \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{100} \times \frac{\text { Unexpired days }}{365}\)
(i) Discount = 30,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{3}{12}\) = ₹ 900
(ii) Discount = 30,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{2}{12}\) = ₹ 600
(iii) Discount = 30,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{1}{12}\) = ₹ 300

Question 3.
Veena who had accepted Sudha’s bill for ₹ 28,000 was declared bankrupt and only 35 paise in a rupee could be recovered from her estate. Calculate the amount of bad debts.
Solution:
From Veena, only 35 paise in a rupee could be recovered i.e. 65 paise in a rupee is bad debt for Sudha. So 65% of ₹ 28,000 = ₹ 18,200 is the amount of bad debts.

Question 4.
Nitin renewed his acceptance for ₹ 72,000 by paying ₹ 22,000 in cash and accepting a new bill for the balance plus interest @ 18%. p.a. for 4 months. Calculate the amount of the new bill.
Selution:
For Nitin,
Total outstanding = ₹ 72,000
Nitin paid in cash= ₹ 22,000
Remaining dues = ₹ 50,000
Now, on this ₹ 50,000 we have to calculate interest @ 18% for 4 months
I = \(\frac{\mathrm{PRN}}{100}\)
= 50,000 × \(\frac{18}{100} \times \frac{4}{12}\)
= ₹ 3,000
So, amount of new bill = Remaining dues + Interest
= 50,000 + 3,000
= ₹ 53,000

Question 5.
Nisha’s acceptance for ₹ 16,850 sent to the bank for the collection was honoured and bank charges debited were ₹ 125. Find out the amount actually received by Drawer.
Solution:
Bill of ₹ 16,850 sent to the bank for collection and it is honoured and bank charges = ₹ 125
So, actual amount received by drawer = 16,850 – 125 = ₹ 16,725.

Question 6.

Answer:
Gain/Benefit ratio

C. State whether the following statements are True or False with reasons.

Question 1.
A deceased partner is not entitled to the Goodwill of the firm.
Answer:
This statement is False.
A deceased partner’s contribution was there in the development of business and goodwill is the value of the business in terms of money. Hence, a deceased partner is entitled to receive goodwill from the firm.

Question 2.
A deceased partner is entitled to his share of General Reserve.
Answer:
This statement is True.
General reserve is created out of past undistributed profit. Past profit is earned due to the efforts and hard work of all the partners including the partner who is now dead. Hence a deceased partner has right on it and therefore a deceased partner is entitled to receive his share of General reserve.

Question 3.
If goodwill is written off, a Deceased Partner’s Capital Account is debited.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When the benefits of goodwill are given to the deceased partner, his capital account is credited and when such goodwill is written off, capital accounts of remaining partners are debited.

Solution:
In the books of the Partnership Firm

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of share of Goodwill:
(a) Average profit = \(\frac{Total Profit}{No. of years}\)
= \(\frac{1,80,000+2,00,000+2,50,000+1,50,000+1,20,000}{5}\)
= \(\frac{9,00,000}{5}\)
= ₹ 1,80,000

(b) Goodwill = Average profit × No. of years
= 1,80.000 × 2
= ₹ 3,60,000

(c) Share of Goodwill to Ramesh = Goodwill of the firm × Ramesh’s share
= 3,60,000 × \(\frac{1}{6}\)
= ₹ 60,000

= \(\frac{90,000+1,00,000+60,000+50,000-50,000}{5}\)
= \(\frac{2,50,000}{5}\)
= ₹ 50,000

(b) Goodwill = Average profit × No. of years
= 50,000 × 2
= ₹ 1,00,000

(c) Share of Goodwill to Keshav = Goodwill of the firm × Keshav’s share
= 1,00,000 × \(\frac{2}{10}\)
= ₹ 20,000

2. Calculation of share of profit due to Keshav
Share of profit = Last year profit × Share of Keshav × Period
= 45,000 × \(\frac{2}{10} \times \frac{4}{12}\)
= ₹ 3,000 (Profit and Loss Suspense Account)

Working Notes:
1.

2. Firm’s goodwill = ₹ 30,000.
DistrIbute among partners in their profit and loss ratio 3 : 2 : 1.

3. Revised value of Land & Building = \(\frac{\text { Book value }}{(100-20)} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{40,000}{80} \times 100\)
= ₹ 50,000.
∴ Increase In the value of Land & Building = Revised value – Book value
= 50,000 – 40,000
= ₹ 10,000.

4. Revised value of Machinery = \(\frac{\text { Book value }}{(100-20)} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{80,000}{80} \times 100\)
= ₹ 1 ,00,000.
∴ Increase in the value of Machinery = 1,00,000 – 80,000 = ₹ 20,000.

5. Patents were valueless means it is a loss for the business.

6. Rohan’s share In profit is ₹ 25,000 and his drawings are ₹ 25,000. Rohan is allowed to retain his drawings as his share of profit. Means write ₹ 25,000 as drawings on the debit side and write ₹ 25,000 as Profit and Loss Suspense A/c on the Credit side of Partners’ Capital A/c.

C. State true or false with reasons.

Question 1.
Financial statements include only the Balance Sheet.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Financial statements include Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss A/c. This is because financial statements are prepared by business organisations to find out the efficiency, solvency, profitability, growth, strength, and status of the business. For this, they need information from the balance sheet as well as from Profit and Loss A/c.

Question 2.
Analysis of financial statements is a tool but not a remedy.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Based on analysis of the financial statement one can get an idea of the financial strength and weakness of the business. However, based on this one cannot take decisions about the business on various issues. Hence analysis of financial statements is a tool but not a remedy.

Question 3.
Purchase of fixed assets is operating cash flow.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Purchase of fixed assets is cash flow from investing activities. It is not a day-to-day operations activity like office/selling/distribution finance expenses/activities.

Question 4.
Dividend paid is not a source of funds.
Answer:
This statement is True.
The dividend is always paid on shares issued by a company as an expense. Shares itself is a source of funds. In payment of dividends, cash goes out from the company. It is an outflow of cash and not a source of funds.

Question 5.
Gross profit depends upon net sales.
Answer:
This statement is True.
The gross profit ratio discloses the relation between gross profit and total net sales. The gross profit ratio is an income-based ratio, where gross profit is an income. There is a direct relation between net sales and gross profit. Higher the net sales higher the gross profit.

Question 6.
Payment of cash against the purchase of stock is the use of funds.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Cash payment for the purchase of stock is made from cash balance or/and from bank balance which is a part of the business fund. When stock or materials we purchase we use cash for payment.

Question 7.
Ratio Analysis is useful for inter-firm comparison.
Answer:
This statement is True.
The comparison of the operating performance of a business entity with the other business entities is known as an inter-firm comparison. This ratio analysis assists to know-how and to what extent a business entity is strong or weak as compared to other business entities.

Question 8.
The short-term deposits are considered as cash equivalent.
Answer:
This statement is True.
The short-term deposits are liquid assets. It means deposits are kept for some period (usually less than one year) and they are kept with an intention to get money quickly as and when required.
They are as good as cash and considered as cash equivalent.

Question 9.
Activity ratios and Turnover ratios are the same.
Answer:
This statement is True.
Turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio to check how efficiently a company is using different assets to extract earnings from them.
Activity ratios are financial analysis tools used to measure a business’s ability to convert its assets into cash. From both these definitions, we can say that Activity ratios and Turnover ratios are the same.

Question 10.
The current ratio measures the liquidity of the business.
Answer:
This statement is True.
The current ratio shows the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. If the proportion of current assets is higher than current liabilities, the liquidity position of the business entity is considered good. More liquidity means more short-term solvency. From the above, it is proved that the current ratio measures the liquidity of the business.

Question 11.
Ratio analysis measures profitability efficiency and financial soundness of the business.
Answer:
This statement is True.
With the help of profitability ratios (Gross profit, Net profit, and Operating profit) one can get the idea of profitability efficiency of the firm, and with the help of liquidity ratios (Current ratio and liquid ratio) one can get the idea of solvency or financial soundness of the business.

Question 12.
Usually, the current ratio should be 3 : 1.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Usually, the current ratio should be 2 : 1. It means current assets are double of current liabilities. It shows the short-term solvency of business enterprises.

Question 11.
A company had following Current Assets and Current Liabilities:
Debtors = ₹ 1,20,000
Creditors = ₹ 60,000
Bills Payable = ₹ 40,000
Stock = ₹ 60,000
Loose Tools = ₹ 20,000
Bank Overdraft = ₹ 20,000
Calculate Current ratio.
Solution:
1. Current Assets = Debtors + Stock + Loose Tools
= 1,20,000 + 60,000 + 20,000
= ₹ 2,00,000

2. Current liabilities = Creditors + Bills payable + Bank overdraft
= 60,000 + 40,000 + 20,000
= ₹ 1,20,000

3. Current ratio = \(\frac{\text { Current assets }}{\text { Current liabilities }}\)
= \(\frac{2,00,000}{1,20,000}\)
= \(\frac{5}{3}\)
= 5 : 3

Question 12.
Current assets of company ₹ 6,00,000 and its Current ratio is 2 : 1. Find Current liabilities.
Solution:
Current ratio = \(\frac{\text { Current assets }}{\text { Current liabilities }}\)
\(\frac{2}{1}=\frac{6,00,000}{\text { Current liabilities }}\)
2 × Current liabilities = 6,00,000 × 1
Current liabilities = \(\frac{6,00,000}{2}\) = ₹ 3,00,000

Question 13.
Current liabilities = ₹ 3,00,000
Working capital = ₹ 8,00,000
Inventory = ₹ 2,00,000
Calculate Quick ratio.
Solution:
Current assets = Current liabilities + Working capital
= 3,00,000 + 8,00,000
= ₹ 11,00,000
Quick assets = Current assets – Inventory
= 11,00,000 – 2,00,000
= ₹ 9,00,000
Quick liability = Current liabilities – Bank O/D = ₹ 3,00,000
Quick ratio = \(\frac{\text { Quick assets }}{\text { Quick liabilities }}\)
= \(\frac{9,00,000}{3,00,000}\)
= \(\frac{3}{1}\)
= 3 : 1

Question 14.
Calculate Gross Profit ratio
Sales = ₹ 2,70,000
Net purchases = ₹ 1,50,000
Sales Ratio = ₹ 20,000
Closing Stock = ₹ 25,000
Operating Stock = ₹ 45,000
Solution:
Net sales = Sales – Sales return
= 2,70,000 – 20,000
= ₹ 2,50,000
Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Net purchase – Closing stock
= 45,000 + 1,50,000 – 25,000
= ₹ 1,70,000
Gross profit = Net sales – Cost of goods sold
= 2,50,000 – 1,70,000
= ₹ 80,000
Gross Profit ratio = \(\frac{\text { Gross profit }}{\text { Net sales }} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{80,000}{2,50,000} \times 100\)
Gross profit ratio = 32%

Question 15.
Calculate Net Profit ratio from the following:
Sales = ₹ 3,80,000
Cost of goods sold = ₹ 2,60,000
Indirect expense = ₹ 60,000
Solution:
Sales = ₹ 3,80,000
Less: Cost of goods sold = ₹ 2,60,000
Gross profit = ₹ 1,20,000
Less: Indirect expense = ₹ 60,000
Net profit = ₹ 60,000
Net profit ratio = \(\frac{\text { Net profit }}{\text { Sales }} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{60,000}{3,80,000} \times 100\)
= 15.79%

Question 16.
Calculate Operating ratio:
Cost of goods sold = ₹ 3,50,000
Operating expense = ₹ 30,000
Sales = ₹ 5,00,000
Sales return = ₹ 30,000
Solution:
Net sales = Sales – Sales return
= 5,00,000 – 30,000
= ₹ 4,70,000
Operating ratio = \(\frac{\text { Cost of goods sold }+\text { Operating expense }}{\text { Net sales }} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{3,50,000+30,000}{4,70,000} \times 100\)
= \(\frac{3,80,000}{4,70,000} \times 100\)
= 80.85%

Question 17.
Calculate Current ratio.
1. Current assets = ₹ 3,00,000
2. Current liabilities = ₹ 1,00,000
Solution:
Current ratio = \(\frac{\text { Current assets }}{\text { Current liabilities }}\)
= \(\frac{3,00,000}{1,00,000}\)
= \(\frac{3}{1}\)
= 3 : 1
