Goods costing Rs. 600 is supplied to Ram at the invoice of 10% above cost and a trade discount for 5%. The amount of sales will be

  • Solution

    Trade discounts are generally ignored for accounting purposes in that they are omitted from accounting records. Therefore, sales, along with any receivables in the case of a credit sale, are recorded net of any trade discounts offered.
    Here the cost of goods sold = 600
    Invoice price will be = 600 + 10% of 600 = 660
    Trade discount = 5% of 660 = Rs. 33
    Thus sales to be recorded = invoice price –trade discount = 660 – 33 = Rs. 627

On 1.1.2010 X draws a bill on Y for Rs 1,00,000. At maturity, the bill returned dishonoured as Y became insolvent and 40 paise per rupee is recovered from his estate.
The amount recovered is:

  • Solution

    A bill of exchange is said to be dishonoured when the drawee refuses to accept or make payment on the bill. A bill may be dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment.

    If the drawee refuses to accept the bill when it is presented before him for acceptance, it is called dishonour by non-acceptance. When a bill is dishonoured by non-acceptance, an immediate right of recourse against the drawer and endorser accrues to the holder. In this case, presentment for payment is not necessary.

    If the drawer has accepted the bill, but on the due date, he refuses to make payment of the bill, it is called dishonour by non-payment. In this case the holder has immediate right of recourse against each party to the bill.

    Here the bill returned dishonored as Y became insolvent and 40 paise per rupee is recovered from his estate.

    So the amount recovered is:
    Total amount of the bill = 1,00,000
    Amount recoverd per rupee = 40 p
    So the amount of the bill recovered = 1,00,000 × 40/100 = Rs. 40,000

A and B purchased a piece of land for Rs. 30,000 and sold it for Rs. 60,000 in 2010. Originally A had contributed Rs. 12,000 and B Rs. 8,000. 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 coventurer’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 and credited to the joint venture account. If the parties have taken over plant or materials etc., the value will be debited to the account of the party concerned and credited to the joint venture account. The joint venture account will now show profit or loss which will be transferred to the personal accounts of the
    respective parties in their profit sharing ratio.

When balance as per cash book (debit balance) as on 31st March is the starting point, what will be the effect while preparing bank reconciliation statement when out of the cheques amounting to Rs. 5,000 deposited, cheques aggregating Rs. 1,500 were credited in March and cheques aggregating Rs. 2,000 credited in April and the rest have not been collected?

  • Solution

    Cheques deposited but not credited: When cheques received from customer are deposited into the bank for collection, an entry is made on the debit side of the cash book in the bank column and thereby the bank balance as per Cash Book increases the amount whereas the bank credits the customer’s account only after collecting the proceeds of the cheques. After the credit entry is made by the bank the balance as per Pass book will also increase and thus both the balances will agree. The process of collection of
    cheque requires time and due to this gap, some cheques deposited into the bank may remain uncredited by the bank. Hence the balances of both the books disagree.

    Here out of the cheques amounting to Rs. 5,000 deposited, cheques aggregating Rs. 1,500 were credited in March and cheques aggregating Rs. 2,000 credited in April and the rest have not been collected. The cheques credited by bank till 31st march will be shown in the bank statement. Thus cheques amounting to 5,000 – 1,500 = 3,500 has not been credited in the bank statement and so this amount is to be subtracted from the balance of the cash book.

If sales revenues are Rs. 4,00,000; cost of goods sold is Rs. 3,10,000, the gross profit is _________

  • Solution

    Gross profit is a company’s revenue minus its cost of goods sold. Gross profit is a company’s residual profit after selling a product or service and deducting the cost associated with its production and sale.
    Cost of goods sold is the direct costs attributable to the production or purchase of the goods sold by a company. It excludes indirect expenses such as distribution costs and sales force cost.
    Cost of goods sold in the above case = 3,10,000
    Gross profit = sales-cost of goods sold = 4,00,000 – 3,10,000 = Rs. 90,000

    Here Mr. Mohan sold merchandise for Rs. 60,000. Customers paid him Rs. 50,000 cash and assured him to pay Rs. 10,000 shortly.
    The amount of revenue earned by him is Rs 60,000.
