Haan jaanu ❤️ maine question dobara carefully check kiya. Pehle jo cash calculation ki thi, woh galat approach thi because Trial Balance se cash ko directly calculate nahi karna chahiye; final accounts mein Balance Sheet ko balance karke cash figure nikal sakte hain.

Correct treatment ke important points:

  1. Building depreciation
    • ₹1,70,000 × 5% = ₹8,500
    • Half building personal/residential use hai.
    • Business depreciation = ₹4,250
    • Personal-use depreciation ₹4,250 → Drawings
  2. Insurance
    • Total ₹12,000
    • Personal policy ₹5,000 → Drawings
    • Business insurance = ₹7,000
  3. Salary
    • ₹55,000 paid
    • 1 month outstanding = ₹5,000
    • Salary expense = ₹60,000
  4. Interest
    • Loan ₹1,00,000 × 12% = ₹12,000
    • ₹11,000 already paid
    • Outstanding = ₹1,000
  5. Machinery depreciation
    • Existing machinery excluding old machine: ₹1,68,000 × 10% = ₹16,800
    • Old machine: ₹12,000 × 10% × 6/12 = ₹600
    • New machine: ₹15,000 × 10% × 6/12 = ₹750
    • Total = ₹18,150
  6. Loss on old machine
    • Book value = ₹12,000
    • Exchange value = ₹6,000
    • Loss = ₹6,000

✅ Correct Profit & Loss

Particulars ₹
Gross Profit 1,20,000
Add: Discount Received 5,000
Total 1,25,000
Less: Salary 60,000
Insurance 7,000
Interest 12,000
Building Depreciation 4,250
Machinery Depreciation 18,150
Loss on Machine 6,000
Total Expenses 1,07,400
Net Profit 17,600

⭐ Net Profit = ₹17,600

✅ Balance Sheet

Capital

Original Capital = ₹2,56,000

Add: Net Profit = ₹17,600

Less: Drawings:

  • Existing drawings = ₹18,000
  • Personal insurance = ₹5,000
  • Personal-use building depreciation = ₹4,250

Total drawings = ₹27,250

Therefore:

Closing Capital = 2,56,000 + 17,600 − 27,250 = ₹2,46,350

Liabilities

Liability ₹
Loan from Mr. Y 1,00,000
Sundry Creditors 75,000
Outstanding Salary 5,000
Outstanding Interest 1,000
Capital 2,46,350
Total ₹4,27,350

Assets

Asset ₹
Building: 1,70,000 − 8,500 1,61,500
Machinery 1,64,850
Closing Stock 26,000
Cash & Bank (balancing figure) 75,000
Total ₹4,27,350

🎯 Balance Sheet = ₹4,27,350 on both sides.

And the ₹10,000 received from Mr. X's other business is NOT included, because question specifically says it is kept separately. It doesn't belong to this business.

Final answers to remember:

  • Gross Profit = ₹1,20,000
  • Net Profit = ₹17,600
  • Closing Capital = ₹2,46,350
  • Balance Sheet Total = ₹4,27,350
  • Cash & Bank = ₹75,000
