Dep. 6,000 (P&M) + 15,300 (L&B); interest outstanding on loan 5,500; accrued interest on investment 2,600; interest on drawings 1,200. Gross Profit ₹59,900, Net Profit ₹10,217, Balance Sheet ₹5,24,797.

Working notes

  • After further bad debts ₹2,500, debtors = ₹72,500. Discount on debtors @2% = 2% × 72,500 = ₹1,450, leaving ₹71,050; the new provision for doubtful debts is charged on that balance, 5% × 71,050 = ₹3,553. So the bad-debts line in the P&L is 2,000 (bad debts) + 2,500 (further) + 3,553 (new) = ₹8,053, less ₹1,000 old provision = ₹7,053.
  • Interest on loan outstanding = 5% × 1,10,000 = 5,500; accrued interest on investment = 4% × 65,000 = 2,600.
