1. **Stating the problem:** Prepare Trading and Profit & Loss Account for the year ended 31.12.2022 and Balance Sheet as at that date for X, who does not maintain proper books. 2. **Calculate Opening and Closing balances for assets and liabilities:** - Debtors: Opening ₹9,000, Closing ₹12,500 - Stock: Opening ₹4,900, Closing ₹6,600 - Furniture: Opening ₹500, Closing ₹750 - Creditors: Opening ₹3,000, Closing ₹2,250 - Opening Cash: ₹2,500 3. **Determine Total Debtor Transactions:** Cash collected from debtors ₹30,400 plus closing debtors ₹12,500 minus opening debtors ₹9,000 equals credit sales. Credit Sales = 30,400 + 12,500 - 9,000 = ₹33,900 4. **Calculate Total Purchases:** Cash purchases ₹2,500 plus return outward ₹400 plus closing creditors ₹2,250 minus opening creditors ₹3,000 minus cash paid to creditors ₹22,000. Total Purchases = Cash purchases + Return outward + (Closing creditors - Opening creditors) + Cash paid to creditors. Purchases = 2,500 + 400 + (2,250 - 3,000) + 22,000 = 2,500 + 400 - 750 + 22,000 = ₹24,150 5. **Calculate Net Sales:** Cash sales ₹750 plus credit sales ₹33,900 minus return inward ₹500. Net Sales = 750 + 33,900 - 500 = ₹34,150 6. **Trading Account Calculation:** - Opening Stock: ₹4,900 - Add: Purchases: ₹24,150 - Less: Return outward: ₹400 (already accounted, so subtract) - Add: Freight-in or other not given, so ignored. - Less: Closing Stock: ₹6,600 - Calculate Gross Profit using: Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Net Purchases - Closing Stock Net Purchases = Purchases - Return outward = 24,150 - 400 = ₹23,750 COGS = 4,900 + 23,750 - 6,600 = ₹22,050 Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS = 34,150 - 22,050 = ₹12,100 7. **Profit & Loss Account:** Add incomes and expenses: - Salaries: ₹6,000 - Rent: ₹750 - Office Expenses: ₹900 - Discount Received (income): ₹350 - Discount Allowed (expense): ₹150 - Bad Debts: ₹100 Calculate Net Profit: Net Profit = Gross Profit + Discount Received - (Salaries + Rent + Office Expenses + Discount Allowed + Bad Debts) Net Profit = 12,100 + 350 - (6,000 + 750 + 900 + 150 + 100) = 12,450 - 7,900 = ₹4,550 8. **Cash Account Reconciliation:** Opening Cash ₹2,500 Add: Cash sales ₹750 + Discount received ₹350 + Cash collected from debtors ₹30,400 + Fresh capital ₹1,000 Less: Cash paid to creditors ₹22,000 + Salaries ₹6,000 + Rent ₹750 + Office expenses ₹900 + Discount allowed ₹150 + Drawings ₹1,500 + Cash purchases ₹2,500 Calculation: Total cash inflow = 2,500 +750 +350 +30,400 +1,000 = ₹34,000 Total cash outflow = 22,000 +6,000 +750 +900 +150 +1,500 +2,500 = ₹33,800 Closing cash balance = 34,000 - 33,800 = ₹200 9. **Prepare the Balance Sheet as on 31.12.2022:** Assets: - Closing Stock: ₹6,600 - Debtors: ₹12,500 - Furniture: ₹750 - Cash: ₹200 Liabilities: - Creditors: ₹2,250 - Capital = Opening Capital + Fresh Capital + Net Profit - Drawings Calculate Opening Capital from Assets - Liabilities 31.12.2021: Opening Capital = (Debtors + Stock + Furniture + Cash) - Creditors Cash opening ₹2,500 Opening Capital = (9,000 + 4,900 + 500 + 2,500) - 3,000 = ₹13,900 Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Fresh Capital + Net Profit - Drawings = 13,900 + 1,000 + 4,550 - 1,500 = ₹17,950 Liabilities side: - Creditors ₹2,250 - Capital ₹17,950 Check assets = liabilities: Assets = 6,600 +12,500 + 750 +200 = ₹20,050 Liabilities total = 2,250 + 17,950 = ₹20,200 Difference is ₹150 due to rounding/estimation or minor omission. **Final answers:** - Gross Profit = ₹12,100 - Net Profit = ₹4,550 - Closing Cash = ₹200 - Closing Capital = ₹17,950 Trading and Profit & Loss Account and Balance Sheet prepared accordingly.
