Long Questions for NCERT Accountancy Solutions Class 11 Chapter 11

1. What is meant by a 'statement of affairs'? How can the profit or loss of a trader be ascertained with the help of a statement of affairs?

It is a statement that shows assets and liabilities, that is prepared at the beginning and end of one accounting period. Assets and liabilities are shown in two sides similar to a balance sheet. However, the basic difference between statement of affairs and balance sheet is that, the former is prepared from incomplete records while the latter is prepared from ledger entries. Capital is said to be the difference between the totals of assets and liabilities.

Capital will be shown at the beginning and end of accounting period when a statement of affairs is prepared. Using this information, a statement of profit and loss is prepared to find out the profit or loss. Adjustments needs to be made for withdrawals by owner and for fresh capital introduced by owners during the period.

A business earns profit if the net results of calculation is positive and is said to make a loss if the results are negative. Thus, profit and loss of owners can be determined using this process.

2. Is it possible to prepare the profit and loss account and the balance sheet from the incomplete book of accounts kept by a trader'? Do you agree? Explain.

(Balancing figure)
3,45,000 3,45,000

Opening balance of debtors is ₹ 54,000 and the closing balance of creditors is ₹ 1, 78,500.

Working Notes:

Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales

Total Sales = Cost of Goods Sold + Gross Profit

Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases – Closing Stock
= 30,000 + 2,95,000 – 25,000
= ₹ 3,00,000

Let us assume the sales to be 100%

Sales = Cost of Goods sold + Gross Profit
Then 100% = Cost of Goods sold + 25%
Cost of Goods Sold = 100% – 25% = 75%
Gross Profit = Cost of Goods Sold × % of Gross Profit
% of Cost of Goods Sold
= 3,00,000 × 25
75
= 1,00,000
Sales = Cost of Goods Sold + Gross Profit
= 3,00,000 + 1,00,000
= ₹ 4,00,000
Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales
Or, 4,00,000 = 85,000 + Credit Sales
Or, Credit Sales = 4,00,000 – 85,000
= ₹ 3,15,000

Note: It is assumed that all purchases are made on credit.
