10) Find owner’s equity:
Assets:
Cash = 40,000
Furniture = 15,000
Machinery = 2,00,000
Stock = 8,000
Total Assets = 2,63,000
Liabilities:

Bank overdraft = 6,000
Salary outstanding = 12,000
Total Liabilities = 20,000
Owner’s Equity = Assets – Liabilities
= 2,63,000 – 20,000
= 2,43,000
Section III – Answer any 4 from 16 to 20
18) Accounting Concepts:
a) Matching Concept:
Expenses should be matched with revenues of the same accounting period.
Example: If sales revenue is earned in March, the cost of goods sold must be recorded in March.
b) Consistency Concept:
Accounting methods should be applied consistently from one period to another.
Example: If straight-line depreciation is chosen, it should be used every year unless a change is justified.
19) Depreciation Calculation:
Cost of Machine = 1,70,000 + 30,000 = 2,00,000
Salvage Value = 20,000
Depreciable Amount = 2,00,000 – 20,000 = 1,80,000
Useful Life = 9 years
a) Annual Depreciation = 1,80,000 / 9 = 20,000
b) Profit/Loss on Sale (31st March 2022):
Book Value after 2 years:
Cost – (Depreciation × 2) = 2,00,000 – (20,000 × 2) = 1,60,000
Sale Price = 1,80,000
Profit = 1,80,000 – 1,60,000 = 20,000
20) Trial Balance:
| Particulars | Debit (₹) | Credit (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Capital | 30,000 | |
| Bad debts | 2,000 | |
| Investments | 25,000 | |
| Cash | 7,000 | |
| Purchases | 12,000 | |
| Return inwards | 3,000 | |
| Sales | 18,000 | |
| Return outwards | 1,000 | |
| Total | 49,000 | 49,000 |

24) Accounting Equation:
Let:
Assets = A
Liabilities = L
Capital = C
Equation: A = L + C
Transactions:
- Cash +50,000, Goods +20,000 → A +70,000, C +70,000
- Purchase from Rahul +10,000 → A +10,000, L +10,000
- Sold goods (Cost 8,500) for Cash 9,000 → Cash +9,000, Goods –8,500, C +500 (Profit)
- Rent outstanding +5,000 → L +5,000, C –5,000 (Expense)
Final:
A = (70,000 + 10,000 + 9,000 – 8,500) = 80,500
L = (10,000 + 5,000) = 15,000
C = (70,000 + 500 – 5,000) = 65,500
Check: 80,500 = 15,000 + 65,500 ✓
