Reverse the ₹1,400 sale-or-return from sales; remove ₹1,000 goods withdrawn from purchases and add to drawings; outstanding loan interest 450; new provision 5% × 36,800 = 1,840; manager's commission 5/105 × 21,204 = 1,010. Gross Profit ₹68,384, Net Profit ₹20,194, Balance Sheet ₹1,16,084.

Working — manager's commission

Commission @ 5% on net profit after charging it means Commission = 5/105 × (profit before commission). Profit before commission = ₹21,204, so commission = 5/105 × 21,204 = ₹1,010, leaving net profit ₹20,194.
