(i) Trading and Profit & Loss Account for the year ended 31st March, 2020

To determine figures for the final accounts, intermediate accounts (Cash, Bank, Debtors, Creditors) are reconstructed first.

Cash Account (Reconstructed): Opening cash ₹10,000 + Cash Sales (balancing figure) = Payments to creditors ₹20,000 + Salaries ₹40,000 + Drawings ₹80,000 + Cash deposited to bank ₹1,00,000 + Closing cash ₹10,000. Cash Sales = ₹2,40,000.

Bank Account (Reconstructed): Opening overdraft ₹50,000 (Cr.) + Receipts [Debtors ₹7,50,000 + Loan from Laxman ₹1,00,000 + Cash deposited ₹1,00,000] = Payments [Creditors ₹7,00,000 + Business expenses ₹1,20,000] + Closing balance ₹80,000. Confirmed closing bank Dr. balance ₹80,000 ✓.

Debtors Account (Reconstructed): Opening ₹1,00,000 + Credit Sales = Bank receipts ₹7,50,000 + Closing ₹3,50,000. Credit Sales = ₹10,00,000.

Creditors Account (Reconstructed): Opening ₹40,000 + Credit Purchases = Bank payments ₹7,00,000 + Cash payments ₹20,000 + Closing ₹90,000. Credit Purchases = ₹7,70,000.

Total Sales = ₹2,40,000 + ₹10,00,000 = ₹12,40,000
Gross Profit (25% on sales) = ₹3,10,000 | COGS = ₹9,30,000
Closing Stock = ₹2,80,000 + ₹7,70,000 − ₹9,30,000 = ₹1,20,000

| Dr. | Trading A/c | Cr. |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Stock | ₹2,80,000 | Sales | ₹12,40,000 |
| Purchases | ₹7,70,000 | Closing Stock | ₹1,20,000 |
| Gross Profit c/d | ₹3,10,000 | | |
| Total | ₹13,60,000 | Total | ₹13,60,000 |

Interest on Loan from Laxman: ₹1,00,000 × 10% × 6/12 = ₹5,000 (accrued, 1.10.2019 to 31.3.2020).

| Dr. | Profit & Loss A/c | Cr. |
