Mr. Big who was the holder of 200 equity shares of Rs.100 each on which Rs.75 per share has been called up could not pay his dues on allotment and first call each at Rs. 25 per share. The Directors forfeited the above shares and reissued 150 of such shares to Mr. Small at Rs. 65 per share paid-up as Rs. 75 per share. The amount to be transferred to Capital Reserve account will be

  • Solution

    When the shares forfeited are reissued at discount, Bank account is debited by the amount received and Share capital account is credited by the paid up amount. The amount of discount allowed is debited to Share Forfeited Account. This is for adjusting the amount of discount so allowed from the amount forfeited at the time of forfeiture.

    Now the amount of discount allowed on reissue of shares at the most can be equal to the forfeited amount on such shares. In that case the share forfeited account after reissue will show a zero balance. But in case, this amount of discount is less than the amount forfeited, the remaining forfeited amount will be profit for the company. This profit is a capital gain to the company and is transferred to Capital Reserve account.

    In the above question discount on shares reissued = number of shares reissued × discount allowed per share = 150 × (75-65) = Rs. 1,500

    Amount available for the reissued shares in shares forfeiture account = number of shares reissued × amount forfeited per share = 150 × (75-50) = 150 × 25 = Rs. 3,750

    The surplus amount to be transferred to capital reserve account = 3,750 – 1,500 = Rs. 2,250

Hum and Tum are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio 5:3. On admission, Woh brings Rs. 70,000 cash and Rs. 48,000 against goodwill. New profit sharing ratio between
Hum, Tum and Woh are 7:5:4. The sacrificing ratio between Hum:Tum will be:

  • Solution

X and Y share profits and losses in the ratio of 2:1. They take Z as a partner and the new profit sharing ratio becomes 3:2:1. Z brings Rs.4,500 as premium for goodwill. The full value of goodwill will be:

  • Solution

    When a new partner is admitted in the firm, the existing/old partners have to sacrifice, what is given to
    the new partner, from their future profits, the reputation they have gained in their past efforts and the side
    of capital they have taken before. The new partner when admitted has to compensate for all these
    sacrifices made by the old ones. The compensation for such sacrifice can be termed as ‘goodwill’.
    Hence, at the time of admission of the new partner, it is necessary to account the valuation of goodwill in the firm.

    If the new partner brings in cash for his share of goodwill, in addition to his capital, it is known as premium method.
    The premium brought in by Z in the above case = Rs. 4,500 which equals to his share in the firm which is 1/6

    Thus the total value of goodwill of the firm will be 4,500 × 6 = Rs. 27,000

A, B & C are equal partners. They wanted to change the profit sharing ratio into 4:3:2. The goodwill was valued as Rs. 90,000. The adjusting journal entry will be

  • Solution

Anny and Bunny enter into a joint venture sharing profits and losses in the ratio 1:1. Anny purchased goods costing Rs. 20,000. Bunny sold the goods for Rs. 25,000. Anny is entitled to get 1% commission on purchase and Bunny is entitled to get 5% commission on sales. The profit on venture will be:

  • Solution

    A joint venture (JV) is a business agreement in which the parties agree to develop, for a finite time, a new entity and new assets by contributing equity. They exercise control over the enterprise and consequently share revenues, expenses and assets.
    Profit on venture can be ascertained with the help of the joint venture account.

    Goods bought on joint venture as well as expenses incurred in connection with the business are debited to the joint venture account and credited to the coventurers’s account or the joint bank account. When the goods are sold, the amount thereof is debited to the coventurer’s account or the joint bank account

Tista Ltd. has issued 14% Debentures of Rs. 10,00,000 at a discount of 10% on April 01, 2010 and the company pays interest half-yearly on June 30, and December 31, every
year. On March 31, 2012, the amount shown as “interest accrued but not paid” in the Balance Sheet will be:

  • Solution

    When the company has the debentures in Financial statements with entitlement to interest. Interest will accrue on a timely basis e.g. Month to month or period to period.
    However the so accrued will become accrued and due on the said due dates.
    If the company has to prepare the financial statements, it has to provide for the interest expense up to
    that period and show it under interest accrued but not due.
    Interest from 1-4-2010 to 31-12-2010 i.e. for 9 months from the date of issue of debentures is accrued
    and due = 14% of 1,00,000 × 3/12 + 14% of 1,00,000 × 6/12 = 1,05,000
    Interest from 1-1-2011 to 31-3-2011 is the interest which is accrued but not due = 14% of 1,00,000 ×
    3/12 = 35,000.

The profits of last three years are Rs. 42,000; Rs. 39,000 and Rs. 45,000. Capital employed is Rs. 4,00,000 and normal rate of return is 10%. The amount of goodwill calculated on the basis of super profit method for three years of purchase will be:

  • Solution

    Super Profits are the profits earned above the normal profits. Under this method Goodwill is calculated on the basis of Super Profits i.e. the excess of actual profits over the normal profits. Steps for calculating Goodwill under this method are given below:

    (i) Normal Profits = Capital Invested × Normal rate of return/100
    (ii) Super Profits = Actual Profits – Normal Profits
    (iii) Goodwill = Super Profits × No. of years purchased

    Here:
    Normal profits = 4,00,000 × 10% = 40,000
    Average profit of the last three years = (42,000 + 39,000 + 45,000)/3 = 42,000
    Super profits = 42,000 – 40,000 = 2,000
    Goodwill = 2,000 × 3 = Rs. 6,000

Varun Ltd. sends goods to his customers on Sale or Return basis by recording it as a sale at the time of sending it for approval. During 2011, Varun Ltd. send goods to customers for Rs. 1,00,000 on sale or return basis, at cost plus 33.33%. On September 2011, a letter of approval was received from a customer for Rs. 40,000. In this respect, entry will be

  • Solution

    Sale or return is a term sale, where the seller sold goods on the basis of return, there might be a chance of return of goods, or acceptance of goods, or acceptance of part of goods. This method is also called the Sale on Approval basis.

    When the transactions of sending the goods on sale or return basis are few, the seller may treat it as normal sale and record it in the books accordingly. However, if the goods are sent on sale or return basis, the unsold goods must be included in the stock at cost. When the goods sent on sale or approval basis are treated as sale, for the goods not yet approved, the sale entry is reversed at the year end.

    Here Varun Ltd. sends goods to his customers on Sale or Return basis by recording it as a sale at the time of sending it for approval.When a letter of approval was received from a customer for Rs. 40,000 this transaction is already recorded in the books.
    So No entry is required for receiving the letter of approval from the customer.

Prakash Ltd. issued 15,000, 15% debentures of Rs.100 each at a premium of 10%, which are redeemable after 5 years at a premium of 20%. The amount of loss on
redemption of debentures to be written off every year is

  • Solution

    Debenture is a certificate/instrument acknowledging a debt. It is issued generally by a public company to individuals/institutions who lend it money (invest in their debentures)For an investor investing in a debenture
    is just like investing in a fixed deposit with the difference that while he can withdraw the amount invested
    in a fixed deposit any time he/she likes with a loss of interest.. he cannot do so with a debenture. The
    amount invested on a debenture will be repaid only on the expiry of the period for which the debenture
    has been issued. if the debentures were originally issued at a premium if the current balance of premium
    or the premium received on debentures originally issued is less than the premium on redemption then the
    case of loss on redemption of debentures arise.
    Here Prakash Ltd. issued 15,000, 15% debentures of Rs.100 each at a premium of 10%, which are
    redeemable after 10 years at a premium of 20%.
    The premium on redemption of debentures = 20% of 15,00,000 = 3,00,000
    Loss on redemption of debentures = Rs. 3,00,000
    The loss on redemption of debentures is to be written off in the period for which the debentures are being
    issued.
