Reason : Profit and loss account is an income statement which depicts all incomes/gains and expenses/losses during an
accounting period. Drawings are neither an income nor an expense to be recorded in profit and loss account.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer. The items in other alternatives are either expenses or accrued expenses or
probable expenses for which provision is to be created and probable income of discount on sundry creditors.
The depreciation, bad debts and provision for doubtful debts and accrued expenses appear in the profit and
loss account and provision for income i.e. provision for discount on sundry creditors. Hence, (a) is the correct

21. Answer : (c)
Reason : The formula for passing adjusting entry in respect of bad & doubtful debt is bad debt written off plus
required provision minus old provision. Required provision @5% on 110000=5500 plus bad debt
Rs.1000=6500. The old provision is Rs.8500.The excess of provision already made can be reversed by
crediting Rs.2000 to the Profit & Loss A/c.
22. Answer : (d)
Reason : The cost of goods sold at a gross sale of 25% = Rs.4,80,000 x 100 / 75 = Rs.6,40,000
Opening stock + Purchases = Cost of goods sold + Closing stock
= Rs.3,50,000 = Rs.6,40,000 + Rs.60,000 = Rs.3,50,000
Opening stock Rs.3,50,000. (d) is the correct answer.

33. Answer : (d)
Reason : The value of inventory far in excess of the normal requirement of a firm is shown under non-current asset
34. Answer : (a)
Reason : Those agricultural produces for which Govt.support price exist, revenue is recognized at the time of harvest
35. Answer : (a)
Reason : Net value added is derived by deducting depreciation from the gross value added and not vice versa. Thus
statement in alternative (a) is false. The value added is not the most relevant concept and the statement forms
part of social responsibility reporting (b). It is arrived at by deducting only the cost of bought in materials and
services (c). It measures the value of increase in resources (d). The approaches adopted are additive approach
and subtractive approach in computing value added (e). Thus, the alternatives (b), (c), (d) and (e) are true.
36. Answer : (a)
Reason : The basis for pricing inventory is either cost of production or cost of acquisition. FIFO method of identifying
inventory is based on the assumption that costs are charged against revenue in the order in which they occur.
In case of other methods i.e. LIFO (b) method matches the most recent costs incurred with current revenue,
leaving the first cost incurred to be included as inventory. Weighted-Average method (c) assumes that costs
are charged against revenue based on an average of the number of units acquired at each price level. Moving
average method (d) can be used only with a perpetual inventory. The cost per unit is recomputed after every
addition to the inventory. The ending inventory is valued at the last moving average unit cost for the period.
Base stock method (e) wherein a minimal level of it is a permanent investment, which is necessary for the
normal business activities. Base stock would be carried at historical cost. Thus, FIFO method is the correct
answer.
37. Answer : (a)
Reason : In terms of cost concept the value of an asset is to be determined on the basis of acquisition cost. Valuation
of machinery at market value is in violation of cost concept unless the machine is actually sold, realizable
value will give only a hypothetical figure. Market value is highly subjective because to know the value of the
asset one has to chase the uncertain future. The other concepts matching concept (b) deals with matching
costs with revenue, Realization concept (c) deals with recognition of income at various levels of production,
Periodicity concept (d) explains how the accounting information is to be reported at regular intervals to foster
comparability, Business entity concept (e) explains the owner is different from the business entity. Thus, the
concepts (b), (c), (d), and (e) do not explain how the fixed assets are to be recorded.

43. Answer : (e )
Reason : Retail Inventory is not an accepted method of valuation of inventory
44. Answer : (e)
Reason : Unexpired insurance or prepaid insurance must be shown on the assets side of the balance sheet, because it is
an asset. It cannot be shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. It cannot be debited to trading a/c. and
profit & loss a/c. Also it cannot be credited to profit & loss a/c. Hence (e) is true.
45. Answer : (d)
Reason : Stock turnover ratio = Cost of sales / Average inventory.
Cost of sales = Sales less gross profit
=Rs. 10,00,000 less 20% of 10,00,000 = Rs.8,00,000
Average inventory = Rs.1,40,000 + Rs.1,80,000 / 2 = Rs.1,60,000
Stock turnover ratio = Rs.8,00,000 / Rs.1,60,000 = 5 times .
46. Answer : (c)
Reason : The debt to equity ratio is a solvency test that assesses the ability to meet both short and long-term
obligations from operations. The quick ratio, current ratio and accounts receivable turnover ratios are all tests
of liquidity which focus on the ability to meet current or short-term obligations. The focus of liquidity ratios
is on sufficiency of current assets or the turnover of those current assets in order to pay current liabilities.
47. Answer : (c)
Reason : Absolute liquidity ratio = Absolute liquid assets / liquid liabilities
Absolute liquid assets in the above is Cash and bank = Rs.1,00,000.
Liquid liabilities is creditors = Rs.1,00,000.
Therefore absolute liquidity ratio = Rs.1,00,000 / Rs.1,00,000 = 1: 1

59. Answer : (b)
Reason : Rights issue is the issue of shares to the existing shareholders. Hence (a) is true. As the number of shares to
which the existing shareholders are entitled is clearly specified, there is no chance of over-subscription.
When there is no over-subscription, the pro-rata allotment does not arise. It is a false statement and hence (b)
is the answer. The price of the rights issue is much less than the existing market price as the rights issue is a
preferential issue only to the shareholders. The flotation cost of the rights issue is low as the number of
subscribers is limited and there is no need of underwriting the issue. The accounting entries for rights issue
are the same as those required for an issue of shares to the public
