Green Ltd. issued 5,000, 6% debentures of Rs.100 each at a discount of 5% repayable after 5 years at a premium of 5%. Total loss on issue of debentures will be __________

  • 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 discount and redeemed at premium then the
    case of loss on issue of debentures arise.

    Here Green Ltd. issued 5,000, 6% debentures of Rs.100 each at a discount of 5% repayable after 5 years at a premium of 5%.

    The discount on issue of debentures = 5% of 5,00,000 = Rs. 25,000
    The premium on redemption of debentures = 5% of 5,00,000 = Rs. 25,000
    Thus total loss on issue of debentures = 25,000 + 25,000 = Rs. 50,000

Anwar Ltd. Purchased building worth Rs. 99,00,000 and issued 12% debentures of 100 each at a premium of 10%. Premium amount will be __________

  • Solution

    The 12% debentures are being issued at a premium thus the value of each debenture will be 100 + 10 = Rs. 110
    Total value of building purchased = 99,00,000
    Number of debentures issued in consideration = total value of building purchased/value per debenture = 99,00,000/110 = 90,000 debentures
    Thus the actual value of the debentures issued = 90,000 × 100 = Rs. 90,00,000 should be credited to debentures account and the balance amount is the premium
    Thus premium amount will be 99,00,000 – 90,00,000 = Rs. 9,00,000

A company wishes to earn 20% profit margin on selling price. Which of the following is the profit mark upon cost, which will achieve the required profit margin?

  • Solution

    Let the selling price be x
    Thus the profit margin in 20% of x
    And the cost price will be x – 20% of x = 80% of x
    So the profit margin on cost will be = 20% of x/80% of x × 100 = 0.2x/0.8x × 100 = 25%

Opening Trade receivables Rs.10,200
Cash Received from trade receivable during the year (as per cash book) Rs. 30,400
Returns Inwards Rs. 2,700
Bad debts Rs. 1,200
Trade receivables at end Rs. 13,800
Cash Sales (As per cash book) Rs. 28,400
Total Sales will be ?

  • Solution

The total cost of goods available for sale with a company during the current year is Rs. 12,00,000. Total sales during the period are Rs. 13,00,000. If the gross profit margin is 33(1/3)% on cost. Closing inventory of the current year will be _________

  • Solution

    Closing inventory is the amount of inventory that a business still has on hand at the end of a reporting period. This includes raw materials, work-in-process, and goods inventory. The amount of closing inventory can be ascertained with a physical count of the inventory. It can also be determined by using a perpetual inventory system and cycle counting to continually adjust inventory records to arrive at ending balances.
    The amount of closing inventory is used to arrive at the cost of goods sold in a periodic inventory system with the following calculation:
    Opening inventory + Purchases – Closing inventory = Cost of goods sold
    So closing inventory = total goods available for sales – cost of goods sold
    Cost of goods sold = x(say) = sales –margin on sales = 13,00,000 – 1/3of x
    Or x + 1/3x = 13,00,000
    Or 4/3x = 13,00,000
    Or x = 13,00,000 × 3/4 = 9,75,000
    Closing inventory = 12,00,000 – 9,75,000 = Rs. 2,25,000

A, B and C share profit and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. Upon admission of D they agreed to share in the ratio of 5:4:2:1 sacrificing ratio will be: ______ (a) 

  • Solution

A, B and C are partners in a business sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. On 30th June, 2009, C retired from business, when his capital A/c after all necessary
adjustments showed a balance of Rs. 10,950. It was agreed that he should be paid Rs.4950 in cash on retirement and the balance in three equal yearly instalments with interest
at 6% per annum. Amount of last instalment with interest will be: _________

  • Solution

    In this case the amount due to retiring partner is paid in instalments. Usually, some amount is paid immediately on retirement and the balance is transferred to his loan account. This loan is paid in one or more instalments
    The loan amount carries some interest. An instalment consists of two parts :
    (i) Principal Amount of instalment due to retiring partner.
    (ii) Interest at an agreed rate, Interest due on loan amount is credited to retiring partners’ loan account. Instalment inclusive of interest then is paid to the retiring partner as per schedule agreed upon.
    Here it was agreed that he should be paid Rs. 4,950 in cash on retirement and the balance in three equal yearly instalments with interest at 6% per annum.
    So the balance will be = 10,950 – 4,950 = Rs. 6000

    Amount of three equal instalments = Rs. 6,000/3 = Rs. 2,000

    Interest @ 6% pa. = Rs. 6,000× 6/100 = Rs. 360

    1st Instalment at the end of 1st Year = Rs. 2,000 + Rs. 360 = Rs. 2,360

    Interest @ 6% pa. = Rs. 4,000×6/100 = 240

    2nd Instalment at the end of 2nd Year = 2,000 + 240 = Rs. 2,240

    Interest @ 6% pa. = 2,000×6/100 = Rs. 120

    3rd Instalment at the end of 3rd Year = 2,000 + 120 = Rs. 2,120

If sales revenue are Rs. 4,00,000, cost of goods sold is 3,10,000 and operating expenses are Rs. 60,000, 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 operating expenses ,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
