Hints for Q.1–16. (1) Opening = Closing + Drawings − Profit − Additional capital = 5,00,000 + 60,000 − 90,000 − 40,000 = ₹ 4,30,000. (2) A : 5/10 − 4/10 = 1/10; B : 3/10 − 3/10 = 0; C : 2/10 − 1/10 = 1/10 ⇒ 1 : 0 : 1. (3) Unrecorded liability is a loss ⇒ debit Revaluation A/c. (4) Super profit = 1,40,000 − 1,00,000 = 40,000; ÷ 10% = ₹ 4,00,000. (5) A : 3/5 − 4/9 = 7/45; B : 2/5 − 3/9 = 3/45 ⇒ 7 : 3. (6) Payment on behalf of the firm : Dr Realisation, Cr Partner’s Capital. (7) SEBI : 90%. (8) Forfeited amount = ₹ 50, so minimum reissue price = 50 (maximum discount 50). (9) Collateral security : interest only on the loan. (10) Operating profit = 16 − 10 − 2 = 4 lakh ⇒ 4 ÷ 16 = 25%. (11) Bonus shares involve no cash. (12) 4,50,000 ÷ 15,00,000 = 30%. (13) CA = 4,50,000; CL = 2,50,000 ⇒ 1.8 : 1. (14) Cost = 9,00,000; average inventory = 1,00,000 ⇒ 9 times. (15) (c) : A is true, R is false (capital profits are not freely distributable as dividend). (16) (a) : both true and R explains A.

Profit after partners’ remuneration = 2,10,000 − 30,000 = 1,80,000; Normal profit = 12% × 10,50,000 = 1,26,000; Super profit = 54,000 (1). Goodwill = 54,000 × 3 = ₹ 1,62,000 (1).
19. Capital called per share = 30 + (50 − 20) + 30 = ₹ 90; amount paid = 30 + 50 = 80 (including premium 20) ⇒ capital paid = ₹ 60; call unpaid = ₹ 30.
