    Study Notes

    Trading and Profit and Loss Account

    • Trading Account summarizes a business' revenue and cost of goods sold to calculate gross profit.
    • Profit and Loss Account (P&L) shows a company's financial performance over a period. It incorporates expenses beyond the cost of goods sold, and calculates net profit.

    Key Components of Final Accounts

    • Trading Account:
      • Debits: Opening Stock, Purchases, Direct Expenses (e.g., Carriage Inward)
      • Credits: Sales, Return Inwards, Closing Stock
    • Profit and Loss Account:
      • Debits: Indirect Expenses (e.g., Salaries, Rent, Advertising)
      • Credits: Indirect Income (e.g., Discount Received, Commission Received)

    Important Points

    • Closing Stock: Represents the value of unsold goods at the end of the accounting period.
    • Provision for Doubtful Debts: An account created to estimate potential bad debts from customers.
    • Depreciation: An expense reflecting the decrease in value of an asset over time.
    • Bad Debts: Uncollectible debts from customers.

    Balance Sheet

    • Balance Sheet shows a company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time.
    • Assets: Resources owned by the company.
      • Fixed Assets: Long-term assets used in the business (e.g., Buildings, Machinery, Furniture)
      • Current Assets: Short-term assets expected to be converted into cash within a year (e.g., Stock, Debtors, Cash)
    • Liabilities: Obligations owed by the company.
      • Long-term Liabilities: Obligations due beyond a year (e.g., Loans)
      • Current Liabilities: Obligations due within a year (e.g., Creditors, Outstanding Expenses)
    • Equity: Represents the owner's claim on the assets of the company.

    Adjustments for Final Accounts

    • Depreciation on Fixed Assets: To reflect the value decrease of assets like buildings, machinery, and furniture.
    • Provision for Doubtful Debts: To anticipate potential losses from uncollectible debts.
    • Outstanding Expenses: Expenses incurred but not yet paid (e.g., salaries, rent)
    • Prepaid Expenses: Expenses paid in advance (e.g., insurance)
    • Accrued Income: Income earned but not yet received (e.g., interest)

    Example Adjustment:

    • Depreciation on a computer purchased on July 1, 2017, at 10% p.a.:
      • Depreciation for the year ending March 31, 2018: (10% of ₹ 60,000) x (9 months / 12 months) = ₹ 4,500.

    Important Note:

    • The text explains the formats and components of Trading, Profit & Loss, and Balance Sheet accounts using examples. Adjustments like depreciation, bad debts, and provision for doubtful debts are crucial for accurate financial reporting.
