X sent out certain goods to Y of Delhi. 1/10 of the goods were lost in transit. Invoice value of goods lost Rs. 12,500. Invoice value of goods sent out on consignment will be:

  • Solution

    Invoice value of the goods lost = 1/10th of the total invoice value of the goods sent = 12,500
    Thus total invoice value of the goods sent = 12,500 × 10 = Rs. 1,25,000

Omega Ltd., a listed company, acquired assets worth Rs. 7,50,000 from Alpha Ltd. and issued shares of Rs. 100 each at premium of 25%. The number of shares to be issued by Omega Ltd. to settle the purchase consideration will be

  • Solution

    The shares are being issued at a premium thus the value of each share issued will be 100 + 25 = Rs. 125
    Total value of assets acquired = 7,50,000
    Number of shares issued = total value of shares acquired/value per share = 7,50,000/125 = 6,000 shares

    Abnormal Loss: It refers to the abnormal loss of stock due to fire, theft or accident. If any abnormal loss is there, goods destroyed will be credited to the Trading Account and will be debited to P&L account after adjusting insurance claim and salvage value because the Trading Account is prepared under normal conditions of the business and has no place for abnormal instances.
    Gross profit = sales – cost of goods sold (COGS)
    Let COGS = x then
    Or 4/3 of x = 2,00,000
    Or x = 1,50,000
    Or Gross profit = 1/3 of 1,50,000 = 50,000
    Closing inventory = opening inventory + purchases + gross profit – sales – goods destroyed =
    80,000 + 1,60,000 + 50,000 – 2,00,000 – 30,000 = Rs. 60,000

The profits of last five years are Rs. 85,000; Rs. 90,000; Rs. 70,000; Rs. 1,00,000 and Rs. 80,000. Find the value of goodwill, if it is calculated on average profits of last five years on the basis of 3 years of purchase.

  • Solution

    Under this method goodwill is calculated on the basis of the average of some agreed number of past
    years. The average is then multiplied by the agreed number of years.
    Goodwill = Average Profits × Number of years of Puchase
    Before calculating the average profits the following adjustments should be made in the profits of the firm:
    (a) Any abnormal profits shoulld be deducted from the net profits of that year.
    (b) Any abnormal loss should be added back to the nat profits of that year.
    (c) Non operating incomes eg. income from investments etc should be deducted from the net profits
    of that year.
    Here average profit of last 5 years will be (85,000 + 90,000 + 70,000 + 1,00,000 + 80,000)/5 = 85,000
    Agreed number of years = 3 years
    Thus goodwill = 85,000 × 3 = Rs. 2,55,000

Consider the following data pertaining to a company for the month of March 2010:
Opening inventory 22,000
Closing inventory 25,000
Purchases less returns 1,10,000
Gross profit margin (on sales) 20%
The sales of the company during the month are

  • Solution

    Sales = opening inventory + purchases less return + gross profit – closing in ventory
    Let sales be x = 22,000 + 1,10,000 + 20% of x – 25,000
    Or x = 1,07,000 + 20% of x
    Or x – 20% of x = 1,07,000
    80% of x = 1,07,000
    x = 1,07,000 × 100/80 = Rs. 1,33,750

A second hand machinery is purchased for Rs. 10,000, the amount of Rs. 1,500 is spent on its transportation and Rs. 1,200 is paid for installation. The amount debited to machinery account will be

  • Solution

    The cost of a depreciable asset is made up of:
    • The net cost of the asset.
    • The cost of site preparation.
    • Initial delivery and handling costs.
    • Installation costs.
    • Professional fees (architects and engineers etc) relating to having the asset in place and ready to
    work.
    • Other cost incurred to make the asset work, i.e. computer software for a computer.
    • Capital improvements made after the initial purchase (not to be confused with repairs and
    maintenance).
    • In summary, the cost of acquisition includes the purchase cost plus any reasonable costs incurred
    in placing the asset into a position where it is ready for use.
    The amount debited to machinery account will be
    Purchase cost + transportation cost + installation cost = 10,000 + 1,500 + 1,200 = 12,700
