Shareholders get dividend, Debenture holders get:
  • a)
    Profit
  • b)
    Interest
  • c)
    Bonus
  • d)
    Shares
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Only when a company makes a profit, a dividend is distributed. However, preferred dividend is given when profit is made; paying a dividend to equity shareholders remains optional. Interest is paid to the lenders/creditors/debenture holders. A dividend is paid to the preferred shareholders and equity shareholders.

The following information pertains to X Ltd.:
(i) Equity Share capital called up Rs. 5,00,000 
(ii) Calls in arrear Rs. 40,000
(iii) Call in advance Rs. 25,000
(iv) Proposed dividend 15%
The amount of dividend payable is: 
  • a) Rs. 75,000
  • b) Rs. 72,750
  • c) Rs. 71,250
  • d) Rs. 69,000
Correct answer is option `D`. Can you explain this answer?

Dividend is payable at the end of the financial year upon such share which money is made. Calls in advance means the amount which is received in advance before the amount is due from shareholders and calls in arrears means which money that is not given by public to company earlier and is due. To calculate  the dividend payable we have to subtract calls in arrear from Share capital so, Rs 5,00,000 - Rs 40,000 =4,60,000. 15 % is the proposed dividend, hence, amount of dividend payable is Rs 69,000

    Partners capital account
  • d)
    Cash Account
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Debiting the Cash Account for the money realised from the sale of unrecorded assets

When a business sells an unrecorded asset, it receives cash in exchange. This cash receipt needs to be recorded in the accounting system to ensure accurate financial reporting. The money realised from the sale of unrecorded assets is debited to the Cash Account because it represents an increase in the business's cash balance.

Importance of recording the sale of unrecorded assets

The sale of unrecorded assets can have an impact on the financial statements of a business. If the sale is not recorded, it can lead to incorrect financial reporting and misrepresent the financial position of the business. For example, if the business sells a valuable asset for a significant amount of cash, but fails to record the sale, its cash balance will be understated, and its assets will be overstated. This can lead to inaccurate financial ratios, such as the current ratio, and mislead stakeholders about the business's ability to meet its short-term obligations.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the money realised from the sale of unrecorded assets should be debited to the Cash Account to ensure accurate financial reporting and prevent misrepresentation of the business's financial position. It is important to record all transactions accurately and in a timely manner to maintain the integrity of the accounting system.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Disha Joshi answered
Given information:
- Opening balance of debtors = Rs. 35,000
- Cash received from debtors = Rs. 30,000
- Cash sales = Rs. 20,000 (which is 20% of total sales)
- B/R received for Rs. 40,000
- Discount allowed is 1% of cash collection

To find: Closing debtors

Calculation:
1. Calculation of total sales:
Cash sales = 20% of total sales
Therefore, total sales = (Cash sales/20%) x 100
Total sales = (20,000/20%) x 100 = Rs. 1,00,000

2. Calculation of total cash collected:
Cash received from debtors = Rs. 30,000
B/R received = Rs. 40,000
Total cash collected = Rs. 30,000 + Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 70,000

3. Calculation of discount allowed:
Discount allowed = 1% of cash collection
Discount allowed = 1% of Rs. 70,000 = Rs. 700

4. Calculation of total debtors:
Total debtors = Opening balance of debtors + Total sales - Cash received from debtors - Discount allowed
Total debtors = Rs. 35,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 700
Total debtors = Rs. 44,700

Therefore, the closing debtors are Rs. 44,700 (option B).

A 1/4th share in the firm for Rs. 10000?

It depends on the terms of the partnership agreement. If the agreement allows for the sale of partnership shares and specifies a method for valuing the firm's goodwill, then the incoming partner would need to follow that process to determine the value of their share. If the agreement does not address the sale of shares or the valuation of goodwill, then the partners would need to negotiate a fair price based on the current value of the firm's assets and liabilities.

Deepika Desai answered
Explanation:

Discount on issue of debentures refers to the issue of debentures at a price lower than their face value. This discount is a capital loss to be written off over the tenure of the debentures. The following points explain this concept in detail:

Capital Loss: The discount on issue of debentures represents a capital loss to the company. It reduces the amount of capital that the company can raise from the issue of debentures.

Writing off the Loss: The capital loss on account of discount on issue of debentures is written off over the tenure of the debentures. This means that a portion of the loss is charged to the Profit and Loss Account each year until the debentures are redeemed.

Amortization: The process of writing off the capital loss over the tenure of the debentures is called amortization. It involves the calculation of the annual amount of loss to be charged to the Profit and Loss Account.

Accounting Treatment: The discount on issue of debentures is shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The amount of discount is deducted from the face value of the debentures to arrive at the amount of debentures issued. The capital loss on account of the discount is shown as a separate item in the Balance Sheet.

Conclusion:

Discount on issue of debentures is a capital loss that is written off over the tenure of the debentures. The process of writing off this loss is called amortization. The discount is shown as a liability in the Balance Sheet and the capital loss is shown as a separate item in the Balance Sheet.

Conclusion:

From the above discussion, it is clear that Share allotment account is a personal account. Therefore, it falls under the category of personal accounts in accounting.

 A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 1:2.They admitted C into the partnership and decided to give him 1/3rd share of the future profits. Find the new ratio of the partners.

  • b)
    It is 2:4:3
  • c)
    It is 3:4:2
  • d)
    It is 4:2:3
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Given:
- A and B are partners with profit-sharing ratio 1:2.
- C is admitted into the partnership and given 1/3rd share of future profits.

To find: New ratio of the partners.

Solution:
Let the total profit be x.
Then, profit shares of A and B will be (1/3)x and (2/3)x respectively.
Let the share of C be y.
Then, y = (1/3)x/3 = (1/9)x

Thus, the new profit-sharing ratio will be:

A : B : C
= (1/3)x : (2/3)x : y
= (1/3)x : (2/3)x : (1/9)x
= 3x : 6x : x
= 3 : 6 : 1
= 2 : 4 : 1 (by dividing each term by the lowest term)

Therefore, the new ratio of partners is 2:4:1, which is option (b).

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Sameer Basu answered
Calculation of interest on drawings:

Step 1: Calculate the average amount of drawings

Average amount of drawings = Total amount of drawings / Number of months

= (200 + 200 + 300 + 50 + 100) / 5

= Rs. 170

Step 2: Calculate the interest on drawings

Interest on drawings = Average amount of drawings x Rate of interest x Time

Time = 9 months (from July 1 to March 31)

Interest on drawings = 170 x 6/100 x 9/12

= Rs. 7.65

Therefore, the interest on drawings is Rs. 7.65.

However, this interest is only for Ram's share as he is a partner. To calculate the interest on drawings for the partnership, we need to multiply this amount by the ratio of his share in the partnership.

Let's assume that Ram's share in the partnership is 1/3

Interest on drawings for partnership = 7.65 x 1/3

= Rs. 2.55

Therefore, the interest on drawings for the partnership is Rs. 2.55.

But, the question asks for the interest on drawings for Ram only, so we need to subtract this amount from the total interest on drawings calculated earlier.

Interest on drawings for Ram = 7.65 - 2.55

= Rs. 5.10

Therefore, the interest on drawings for Ram is Rs. 5.10.

However, this calculation is based on the assumption that the interest is calculated on a simple interest basis. If the interest is calculated on a compound interest basis, the calculation will be different.

  • c)
    Rs.90300
  • d)
    Rs.90200
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Poonam Reddy answered
The correct answer is B.
Land and building is an asset. Revaluation account considers only the changes in assets and liabilities. So since land and building was ₹90300 earlier and now it is to be brought up to ₹119700. This means the value of land and building is increased. So revaluation will consider only the increased amount and not the whole value of building . So increased amount is 119700-90300=₹29400
