1. **Stating the problem:** Prepare the Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account, and Balance Sheet for Mukhtar Trading Co. for the year ending 31st December 2022 using the given trial balance and adjustments. 2. **Trading Account preparation:** - Formula for Gross Profit: $$\text{Gross Profit} = \text{Sales} - (\text{Opening Stock} + \text{Purchases} + \text{Direct Expenses} - \text{Closing Stock})$$ - Direct expenses here include wages and carriage outward. 3. **Calculate adjusted figures:** - Wages payable adjustment: add Rs. 500 to wages. - Closing stock: Rs. 15,000. 4. **Trading Account:** \begin{align*} \text{Opening Stock} &= 10,000 \\ \text{Purchases} &= 40,000 \\ \text{Wages} &= 6,575 + 500 = 7,075 \\ \text{Carriage Outward} &= 375 \\ \text{Total Debits} &= 10,000 + 40,000 + 7,075 + 375 = 57,450 \\ \text{Sales} &= 100,000 \\ \text{Closing Stock} &= 15,000 \\ \text{Cost of Goods Sold} &= 57,450 - 15,000 = 42,450 \\ \text{Gross Profit} &= 100,000 - 42,450 = 57,550 \end{align*} 5. **Adjust provision for bad debts:** - Debtors = 30,000 - New provision = 2% of 30,000 = 600 - Old provision = 750 - Adjustment = 600 - 750 = -150 (reduce provision by 150) 6. **Profit and Loss Account:** - Expenses: Salaries 5,000, Printing & Stationery 400, Bad Debts 500, Trade Expenses 5,250, Insurance 500, adjusted Provision for Bad Debts (-150), Carriage Outward already in Trading Account. - Interest on capital = 5% of Capital (to be calculated from balance sheet). 7. **Calculate Capital:** - Assets: Plant & Machinery 35,000 + Freehold Premises 24,000 + Cash in Hand 50,000 + Debtors 30,000 + Closing Stock 15,000 = 154,000 - Liabilities: Creditors 8,125 + Wages Payable 500 + Provision for Bad Debts 600 = 9,225 - Capital = Assets - Liabilities = 154,000 - 9,225 = 144,775 8. **Interest on Capital:** - 5% of 144,775 = 7,238.75 9. **Total expenses:** \begin{align*} \text{Salaries} &= 5,000 \\ \text{Printing & Stationery} &= 400 \\ \text{Bad Debts} &= 500 \\ \text{Trade Expenses} &= 5,250 \\ \text{Insurance} &= 500 \\ \text{Provision Adjustment} &= -150 \\ \text{Interest on Capital} &= 7,238.75 \\ \text{Total} &= 5,000 + 400 + 500 + 5,250 + 500 - 150 + 7,238.75 = 18,738.75 \end{align*} 10. **Net Profit:** $$\text{Net Profit} = \text{Gross Profit} - \text{Total Expenses} = 57,550 - 18,738.75 = 38,811.25$$ 11. **Balance Sheet preparation:** - Assets: Plant & Machinery 35,000, Freehold Premises 24,000, Cash in Hand 50,000, Debtors 30,000, Closing Stock 15,000 - Liabilities: Creditors 8,125, Wages Payable 500, Provision for Bad Debts 600 - Capital: 144,775 + Net Profit 38,811.25 = 183,586.25 12. **Final Balance Sheet totals:** - Total Assets = 35,000 + 24,000 + 50,000 + 30,000 + 15,000 = 154,000 - Total Liabilities + Capital = 8,125 + 500 + 600 + 183,586.25 = 192,811.25 13. **Note:** The provided answer states Gross Profit Rs. 57,925, Net Profit Rs. 47,525, and Balance Sheet total Rs. 108,650, which suggests some differences in interpretation or missing data.
