Depreciation - Rs. 10,000

Increase in debtors - Rs. 5,000

Decrease in creditors - Rs. 3,000

Purchase of machinery - Rs. 20,000

Sale of furniture - Rs. 8,000

Solution:

Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 31st March 2023

Cash flow from operating activities:
Profit before tax Rs. 50,000
Add: Depreciation Rs. 10,000
Operating profit before working capital Rs. 60,000
Add: Increase in debtors Rs. 5,000
Less: Decrease in creditors Rs. 3,000
Cash generated from operations Rs. 62,000
Less: Income tax paid (Assumed) Rs. 10,000
Net cash from operating activities Rs. 52,000

Cash flow from investing activities:
Purchase of machinery Rs. 20,000
Sale of furniture Rs. 8,000
Net cash used in investing activities Rs. 12,000

Cash flow from financing activities:
Nil

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents Rs. 40,000

Opening balance of cash and cash equivalents Rs. 10,000
Closing balance of cash and cash equivalents Rs. 50,000

Note:
The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method. The increase in debtors and decrease in creditors have been adjusted to arrive at the cash generated from operations. Income tax paid has been assumed and is not given in the information. The purchase of machinery and sale of furniture have been shown under investing activities. As there are no financing activities, the net increase in cash and cash equivalents equals the net cash from operating and investing activities.

3. Prepare the Revaluation Account and Partners' Capital Accounts for the year ending on 31st March 2023 from the following information:

Goodwill - Rs. 60,000

Land and Building - Rs. 1,50,000

Solution:



4. X and Y are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:3. Z was admitted as a new partner. X surrendered 1/4th of his share in favor of Z and Y surrendered 1/5th of his share in favor of Z. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio.

Solution:

X and Y's profit-sharing ratio is 2:3, which can be expressed as 4:6.
X surrenders 1/4th of his share, which is 4/16th or 1/4, to Z. Y surrenders 1/5th of his share, which is 6/30th or 1/5, to Z.
The new profit-sharing ratio is:
X = 3/4 * 4/16 = 3/16
Y = 4/5 * 6/30 = 24/150 = 4/25
Z = 1/4 + 1/5 = 9/20
Therefore, the new profit-sharing ratio is 3:4:9.

5. A and B were partners in a firm. On 31st December 2021, the firm was dissolved. The following information was available:
Realization expenses amounted to Rs. 5,000.
A's loan to the firm was Rs. 15,000.
B's loan to the firm was Rs. 10,000.
A took over the stock worth Rs. 25,000 for Rs. 20,000.
The remaining assets were sold for Rs. 60,000 and the creditors were paid Rs. 20,000. Calculate the loss on realization and the amount of cash that A will receive.

Solution:

Total assets = Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 85,000
Total liabilities = Rs. 5,000 + Rs. 15,000 + Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 50,000
Loss on realization = Total liabilities - Total assets = Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 85,000 = Rs. 35,000
A's loan to the firm is settled against his share of the loss, i.e. Rs. 15,000.
B's loan to the firm is settled against his share of the loss, i.e. Rs. 10,000.
A's claim for the stock is settled against his share of the assets, i.e. Rs. 20,000.
The remaining cash is distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio, which is 1:1.
Therefore, A will receive Rs. 10,000 (Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 5,000) in cash.

6. P, Q, and R were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to admit S as a new partner. S paid Rs. 2,00,000 as his share of goodwill and became entitled to 1/4th share of future profits. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio.

Solution:

The total goodwill of the firm is Rs. 2,00,000.
S pays Rs. 2,00,000 as his share of goodwill, which is then added to the total goodwill.
The new total goodwill is Rs. 6,00,000 (Rs. 4,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,000).
S is entitled to 1/4th share of future profits, which is 1/4 or 25%.
The new profit-sharing ratio is:
P = 25%
Q = 25%
R = 25%
S = 25%

7. X, Y, and, Z were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses equally. They decided to dissolve the firm on 31st December 2021. The following information was available:
Realization expenses amounted to Rs. 5,000.
The assets were sold for Rs. 1,20,000 and the creditors were paid Rs. 50,000.
X took over the stock worth Rs. 25,000 for Rs. 20,000.
The remaining cash was distributed among the partners in the old profit-sharing ratio. Calculate the amount of cash that each partner will receive.

Solution:

Total assets = Rs. 1,20,000 + Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 1,45,000
Total liabilities = Rs. 5,000 + Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 55,000
The loss of realization is:
Total liabilities - Total assets = Rs. 55,000 - Rs. 1,45,000 = Rs. 90,000
X, Y, and Z will share this loss equally, which is Rs. 30,000 each.
X's claim for the stock is settled against his share of the assets, i.e. Rs. 20,000.
The remaining cash of Rs. 65,000 (Rs. 1,20,000 - Rs. 55,000) is distributed equally among X, Y, and Z, which is Rs. 21,666.67 each.

8. A, B, and C are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. Their Balance Sheet as of 31st March 2022, is as follows:

Total 4,40,000
Total 4,40,000
On the same day, D is admitted as a new partner and it is decided that the new profit-sharing ratio will be 3:2:1:1. D brings Rs. 1,50,000 as his capital and his share of goodwill is valued at Rs. 30,000. Give the necessary Journal Entries and prepare the Balance Sheet of the reconstituted firm.

To A's Capital A/c 25,000
To B's Capital A/c 20,000
To C's Capital A/c 15,000

Balance Sheet of the reconstituted firm as of 31st March 2022:

Liabilities Amount (Rs.) Assets Amount (Rs.)

Total 4,45,000
Total 4,45,000

9. A, B, and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2:2:1. They admit D as a new partner for a 1/6th share in the profits. D brings Rs. 1,00,000 as his capital and Rs. 20,000 for his share of goodwill. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio and the sacrificing ratio of the old partners.

Solution: 

Calculation of New profit-sharing ratio:
The old ratio of A, B, and C = 2:2:1
Total share = 2+2+1 = 5
D's share = 1/6
New ratio of A, B, C, and D = (2/5), (2/5), (1/5), (1/6)

Sacrificing ratio of A, B, and C:
A's share = (2/5) - (1/5) = 1/5
B's share = (2/5) - (1/5) = 1/5
C's share = (1/5) - 0 = 1/5
Therefore, sacrificing ratio of A, B, and C = 1:1:1


DIFFICULTY LEVEL = MEDIUM



10. A, B, and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2. The partnership deed provides for interest on capital @ 10% per annum. A's capital is Rs. 5,00,000, B's capital is Rs. 4,00,000, and C's capital is Rs. 3,00,000. Calculate the interest on capital payable to each partner at the end of the year.

Solution:

Calculation of interest on capital:
Interest on A's capital = Rs. 5,00,000 × 10% = Rs. 50,000
Interest on B's capital = Rs. 4,00,000 × 10% = Rs. 40,000
Interest on C's capital = Rs. 3,00,000 × 10% = Rs. 30,000

11. A, B, and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2. The partnership deed provides for the following:
a) A salary of Rs. 20,000 per annum to A
