**Problem Statement:** Prepare the Trading Account, Profit & Loss Account, and Balance Sheet for Gupta & Sons as at December 31, 2018, from the provided Trial Balance with additional adjustments. **Step 1: Prepare Trading Account** 1. Trading Account shows gross profit by comparing sales and cost of goods sold (COGS). 2. Sales = Rs. 10,00,000; Sales Returns = Rs. 25,000; Net Sales = 10,00,000 - 25,000 = Rs. 9,75,000. 3. Opening Inventory = Rs. 60,000 4. Purchases = Rs. 5,00,000; Purchases Returns = Rs. 15,000; Net Purchases = 5,00,000 - 15,000 = Rs. 4,85,000 5. Add Carriage Inwards = Rs. 10,000 6. Goods Available for Sale = Opening Inventory + Net Purchases + Carriage Inwards = 60,000 + 4,85,000 + 10,000 = Rs. 5,55,000 7. Closing Inventory = Rs. 1,00,000 (given) 8. Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Goods Available for Sale - Closing Inventory = 5,55,000 - 1,00,000 = Rs. 4,55,000 9. Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS = 9,75,000 - 4,55,000 = Rs. 5,20,000 **Step 2: Prepare Profit & Loss Account** 1. Start with Gross Profit = Rs. 5,20,000. 2. List expenses: - Wages = Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 4,000 (outstanding) = Rs. 54,000 - Salaries = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 3,000 (outstanding) = Rs. 43,000 - Carriage Outwards = Rs. 5,000 - General Expenses = Rs. 20,000 - Rent & Rates = Rs. 10,000 - 1/4 prepaid (2,500) = Rs. 7,500 - Bad Debts = Rs. 5,000 - Discount = Rs. 4,500 - Interest on Bank Overdraft = Rs. 500 - Deduct Interest on Investments = Rs. 5,000 + Rs. 1,000 (outstanding) = Rs. 6,000 (Income) 3. Calculate Provision for Bad Debts: - Debtors = Rs. 1,50,000 - Provision required = 5% of 1,50,000 = Rs. 7,500 - Current provision = Rs. 7,000 - Additional provision required = 7,500 - 7,000 = Rs. 500 (expense) 4. Total expenses = 54,000 + 43,000 + 5,000 + 20,000 + 7,500 + 5,000 + 4,500 + 500 + 500 = Rs. 1,39,000 5. Net Profit = Gross Profit - Total Expenses + Interest on Investments = 5,20,000 - 1,39,000 + 6,000 = Rs. 3,87,000 **Step 3: Prepare Balance Sheet as on December 31, 2018** *Assets*: - Land & Buildings = 4,00,000 - 5% depreciation = 4,00,000 - 20,000 = Rs. 3,80,000 - Plant & Machinery = 3,00,000 - 50,000 depreciation = Rs. 2,50,000 - Furniture = 1,00,000 - 10% depreciation = 1,00,000 - 10,000 = Rs. 90,000 - Investments = Rs. 50,000 - Debtors = Rs. 1,50,000 - Provision for Bad Debts Rs. 7,500 = Rs. 1,42,500 - Bills Receivable = Rs. 40,000 - Cash in Hand = Rs. 50,000 - Inventory (Closing) = Rs. 1,00,000 - Acceptances = Rs. 10,000 - Rent & Rates prepaid (1/4 of 10,000) = Rs. 2,500 - Interest on Investments (accrued) = Rs. 1,000 *Liabilities*: - Capital = Rs. 5,00,000 - Add: Net Profit = Rs. 3,87,000 - Less: Drawings (not provided, assume zero) - Capital after profit = 5,00,000 + 3,87,000 = Rs. 8,87,000 - Loan = Rs. 2,60,000 - Creditors = Rs. 70,000 - Provision for Bad Debts = Rs. 7,500 - Outstanding Wages = Rs. 4,000 - Outstanding Salaries = Rs. 3,000 - Bank Overdraft = Rs. 10,000 - Rent received in advance = Rs. 2,000 **Step 4: Final Check** - Total Assets = Sum all assets above - Total Liabilities = Sum all liabilities + capital - Ensure that Total Assets = Total Liabilities (balance sheet balances) **Final answers:** - Trading Account shows Gross Profit Rs. 5,20,000 - Profit & Loss Account shows Net Profit Rs. 3,87,000 - Balance Sheet presents adjusted asset values and liabilities as detailed above.
