⚠️ Data check in the supplied question
The supplied paper shows Sales as ₹30,000 but also gives a Trial Balance total of ₹38,00,000. The debit total of ₹38,00,000 can balance only when Sales is ₹30,00,000.
Therefore, the solution below uses Sales = ₹30,00,000. This is a correction inferred from the stated Trial Balance total, not an attempt to hide the inconsistency.

- Closing stock = ₹2,00,000
- Outstanding wages = ₹20,000
- Prepaid insurance = ₹2,000

⚠️ Balance Sheet data issue — read carefully
The supplied Trial Balance includes Depreciation ₹40,000 but does not identify the asset to which that depreciation relates. Therefore, deducting ₹40,000 specifically from Furniture would make the Balance Sheet fail to tally with the supplied figures.
If the Trial Balance is followed literally and Furniture remains at ₹1,00,000, the Balance Sheet totals ₹8,52,000 on both sides. This is the only internally balancing presentation from the supplied figures.
✓ Balance Sheet — using the supplied figures literally
| Liabilities | ₹ | Assets | ₹ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital | 5,32,000 | Furniture* | 1,00,000 |
| Sundry Creditors | 3,00,000 | Sundry Debtors | 5,00,000 |
| Outstanding Wages | 20,000 | Closing Stock | 2,00,000 |
| Cash in Hand | 50,000 | ||
| Prepaid Insurance | 2,000 | ||
| Total | 8,52,000 | Total | 8,52,000 |
*Important: Furniture is shown at ₹1,00,000 only to maintain consistency with the supplied Trial Balance. If the ₹40,000 depreciation is specifically intended to be deducted from Furniture, another figure or asset treatment is required from the original question.
Exam Alerts & Corrections
Important points where the supplied paper needs attention
⚠️ MCQ (r) — wording issue
The question says an increase in asset value is “debited to Revaluation Account.”
Correct accounting treatment:
Therefore, if the question retains the word “debited”, the answer is Asset Account. If the intended wording was “credited to”, then Revaluation Account would be the answer.
⚠️ MCQ (u) — no printed option is mathematically correct
Correct ratio = A : B : C = 2 : 1 : 1. None of the four printed alternatives matches this ratio.
⚠️ Q9 — Sales figure inconsistency
The supplied paper prints Sales as ₹30,000, but the Trial Balance total is stated as ₹38,00,000.
The debit side totals ₹38,00,000. Therefore the credit side can total ₹38,00,000 only if Sales = ₹30,00,000.
Hence the solution uses Sales ₹30,00,000.
