(a) Prepare R&P account (cash summary, ignore depreciation); the given figures do not tally by ₹4,700 — flagged honestly. (b) P&L Appropriation: net profit 36,000 + IOD 1,000 − IOC 3,000 = 34,000 divisible, shared Velu 27,200 : Seenu 6,800.

(a) Receipts and Payments Account — Chennai Mahalakshmi Mahalir Mandram, year ended 31 Dec 2019 (TN HSC Class-12 Accountancy — NPO)

Rule: A Receipts and Payments account records ALL cash and bank receipts (debit) and payments (credit), of both revenue and capital nature, but excludes non-cash items. Here depreciation on furniture ₹900 is a non-cash item and is excluded.

Honest note on data (flag): The receipts side totals ₹23,000 while the payments side (including the given closing cash of ₹2,500) totals ₹27,700 — a difference of ₹4,700. A Receipts and Payments account must balance by definition, so the printed figures are internally inconsistent (most likely a misprint in one of the three ₹6,000 payment figures). The items have been recorded exactly as given, with depreciation correctly excluded; the shortfall of ₹4,700 is highlighted rather than being forced to balance.

(b) Profit and Loss Appropriation Account — Velu and Seenu (4 : 1), year ended 31 Dec 2018 (Partnership Fundamentals)

Interest on capital: Velu 40,000 × 5% = ₹2,000; Seenu 20,000 × 5% = ₹1,000 (total ₹3,000).

Interest on drawings: Velu ₹400, Seenu ₹600 (total ₹1,000).
