‘Trading Account Items
‘Trading account is a nominal account and its purpose is to ascertain the ‘gross profit or gross
loss.’ The first item on the debit side of trading account is opening stock. The other items on the
debit side are purchases and all direct expenses. On the credit side, the main items are sales and
closing stock. The difference between the two sides is either gross profit or gross loss as shown
above in Trading Account. The main items of trading account are briefly described below :
1, Opening stock : The closing stock of the preceding year is the opening stock of the
‘current year. The opening stock is recorded in the books through an opening entry in the
beginning of the accounting year. This amount remains unchanged during the year and appears
in the trial balance at the end of the year. It should be noted that when a new business is
started, there will be no opening stock in the fist year.
2. Purchases and Purchase Returns : The purchases account in the trial balance represents
total purchases (credit + cash) during the year. Purchases include import duty, octroi, etc. The
purchase returns account has a credit balance showing the return of goods to the supplies. In
the trading account, the net purchases are shown on the debit side i.e., total purchases less
purchases returns.
3, Direct Expenses : In a merchandising business of buying and selling, all expenses
incurred on purchase of goods and to bring them in saleable condition are direct expenses and
‘are charged to Trading Account. However, in the case of a manufacturing business, direct
‘expenses also include the cost of converting raw materials into finished goods. Thus the direct
‘expenses to be debited to trading account include — wages, carriage/freight on purchases,
expenses like power, lighting, gas, fuel, water rent, royalty paid on production, etc.
4, Sales and Sales Returns : The sales account appears in the credit side of a trial balance
showing the gross total sales (cash + credit). The sales return has a debit balance and shows the
Amount of goods returned by the customers. In the trading account, net sales (i.e. total sales
‘Minus sales retums) are shown on the credit side.
73Accounting for Managemen,
5. Closing stock : Closing stock means stock of unsold goods at the end of the accounting
period. Normally, closing stock account does not appear in trial balance and it is given as =.
adjustment outside the trial balance. This is because such an account is not maintained in th,
‘books. In order to ascertain the vale of closing stock, physical stock taking is done and stock js
valued. Closing stock is then shown in the trading account on the credit side.

trading activities.

2. Gross profit ratio (i aa *100] can be computed from data appearing in trading
account. Gross profit ratio indicates the average margin on goods sold and shows whether
selling prices are adequate to give a reasonable profit.
3. Opening and closing stock figures show the investment locked in stocks. It throws light
on the efficiency of inventory management.
PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
After preparing the Trading Account, the next step is to prepare Profit and Loss Account.
‘The purpose of preparing Profit and Loss Account is to calculate the net profit or net loss of the
business for a given accounting period. It was stated above that gross profit or loss as per
trading account is transferred to Profit and Loss Account. Thus, profit and loss account starts
with gross profit or gross loss, as the case may be. After this, all other expenses and losses
(which have not appeared in trading account) are shown on the debit side of the Profit and Loss
Account. These expenses may be classified as follows :
1. Office and Administrative Expenses : These include salaries paid to office staff, rent and
rates of office premises, office lighting, printing and stationary, postage, audit fee, legal
expenses, etc.
2, Selling and Distribution Expenses : These comprise of advertising expenses, salesmen’s
salaries and commission, packing expenses, warehousing, freight on sales, export expenses,
‘upkeep of detivery vehicles, bad debts, insurance of finished stock, etc.
3. Financial changes : These include interest paid on bank or other loans and public
Aeposits, etc,

assets, etc,

CLOSING ENTRIES
‘At the end of the accounting year, all nominal accounts relating to expenses and incomes
stand closed because these are transferred to Trading Account or Profit and Loss Account. In
other words, all nominal accounts in the Trial Balance are transferred to Trading Account or
Profit and Loss Account with the help of closing entries. After all these accounts are transferred
to Trading and Profit and Loss Account, the balance of this account will show the net profit or
los.
‘A journal entry made for the purpose of closing an expense or income account is known as a
losing entry. The principal purpose of the year end process of closing income and revenue
accounts is to reduce their balances to zero. Since the incomes and expenses accounts provide
the information for preparing the Trading and Profit and Loss Account of a given accounting
period, it is essential that these accounts have zero balances at the beginning of each new
period. The closing entries have the effect of wiping the slate clean and preparing the ground
for recording of income and expense accounts during the succeeding accounting period.
‘Closing Entries for Trading Account
Each account having a debit balance is credited and Trading Account is debited. For
example :
1. Trading Account oo Dr

BALANCE SHEET
After preparation of Trading and Profit and Loss Account, the next step is to prepare Balance
Sheet. The Balance Sheet is defined as ‘a statement which sets out the assets and liabilities of a
firm as at a certain date.’ The purpose of balance sheet is to show the financial position of the
business at the end of the accounting period. The balance sheet is not an account and the two
sides are not the debit and credit sides.
Trading and Profit and Loss Account is prepared by transferring all nominal accounts to
either Trading Account or Profit and Loss Account. The remaining real and personal accounts are
used for preparing Balance Sheet. Real accounts represent various assets and personal accounts
relate to capital, liabilities and assets.
Characteristics: The following characteristics of balance sheet should be noted for its better
understanding :
1, Balance Sheet is prepared as at a particular date and not for a period. It is prepared as
on the last day of the accounting year.
2. Balance Sheet is always prepared after preparing Trading and Profit and Loss account.
3. Balance sheet is not an account (unlike trading and profit and loss account). It is @
statement portraying financial position of the business at a point of time.
4, Balance Sheet is based on the fundamental accounting equation i.e,
Assets = Capital + Liabilities,
Actually, a Balance Sheet is an elaboration of this equation in which the assets, liabilities
and owners equity are listed and the sum of assets is shown to be equal to the sum of
liabilities and owner's equity. If it is not equal, there is certainly an error somewhere.

Sequence of Items In the Balance Sheet
balance sheet become the opening balances in the
next accounting year.
(Marshalling)
Items in the Balance Sheet are marshalled in the order of permanence or in the order of
liquidity. In other words, items in the Balance Sheet may be put down in either of the two ways:
(a) In order of permanence, or (b) In order of liquidity
Order of permanence indicates the order of the longevity of their life in use and order of
Uguidity indicates the order of the degree of ease with which they can be converted into cash,
Generally speaking, order of permanence is most commonly used by industrial and
commercial business and order of liquidity is
used by banks and other financial institutions.
Generally, sole traders and partnership concerns also follow the order of liquidity whereas
‘companies follow the order of permanence.
713>
Accounting for Manageme,
Various assets grouped in the two orders will appear as follows:
(a) Order of Permanence
Assets Liabilities
Fixed assets: Owner's capital
Goodwill
Incomes received in advance
Outstanding expenses
Bank loan
Patents and trade marks
Land and building
Plant and machinery
Bills payable
Other fixed assets Sundry creditors
Investments
Stocks in trade
Pre-payments
Sundry debtors
Bills receivables
Cash at bank
Cash in hand
(b) Order of Liquidity
Assets Liabilities
Cash in hand Sundry creditors
Cash at bank Bills payable
Bills receivables Bank loan
Sundry debtors Outstanding expenses
Pre-payments Incomes received in advance
Stock in trade Owners capital
Investments
Fixed assets like:
Plant & machinery
Land and building
Goodwill
Patents ete.
Note : The list of assets and liabilities given above is not exhaustive,
From the above, it may be concluded that where the order of permanence is chosen, fixed
assets will come first, starting with goodwill, land and building, plant and machinery and so on
following by current assets in order of liquidity ending with cash. In the liquidity order, on the
other hand, the reverse is followed, the most liquid (e.g., cash in hand) being taken first, the
remainders following in descending order of liquidity. Fictitious assets, which are obviously 10!
assets at all but merely debit balances not yet written off, will in either case appear at the
bottom of the list.
Liabilities may also be grouped in the same two ways—order of permanence and order of
Viguidity. Thus, where permanence order is being followed, capital, reserves and undistributed
profits-comprising the owner's interest will come first, followed by long term liabilities (secured

when cash is actually received. Similarly, expenses are recognised when these are incurred an
not when actual payments are made. This means at the end of the accounting year, there mV
he certain incomes earned but not received (i.e., accrued income) and incomes received but at
eamed (ie. income received in advance). Similarly, there may be certain expenses like wad!
and salaries which are due but not actually paid (i.e. outstanding expenses) and cert!
expenses may have been paid but not due (i.e. prepaid expenses). These accrued incomes
incomes received in advance, outstanding expenses and prepaid expenses etc. requ?
adjustments at the end of the year so that true net income is determined on accraal bos:

Final Accounts (Financial Statements)
Adjustment entries are passed ither before or after preparation of trial balance. But
generally adjustment are made after trial balance has been prepared. In such a case, i.e., when
adjustment are given outside the trial balance, the dual effect of the adjustment will be in the
final accounts itself. In other words, each adjustment will be treated twice while preparing
Trading and Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. For example, if wages are outstanding,
and it is given outside the trial balance, it will be shown on the debit side of the trading
account a5 an expense and then as a lability in the balance sheet.
However, adjustments are sometimes made before the preparation of the trial balance, in
this case adjustments appear in the trial balance. In such a case, in the preparation of final
accounts, these adjustments appear only once.

6. Depreciation on Fixed Asset : Depreciation has been discussed in detail in a separate
chapter. The following entry is passed for depreciation:

Depreciation amount is shown as an expense on the debit side of the Profit and Loss
‘Account and in the Balance Sheet, depreciation amount is deducted from the fixed asset.
7. Bad Debts : When a business sells goods on credit basis, some of the customers may fail

In the Profit and Loss Account, bad debts is shown on the debit side and in the Balance
Sheet, the amount of bad debts is deducted from debtors. When bad debts appear in the Trial
Balance, it will be shown only in Profit and Lass Account as an expense.
Sometimes bad debts written off are recovered in the subsequent accounting year. In such a
case, the recovered amount is credited to Bad Debts Recovered Account and then shown in the
credit side of Profit and Loss Account as this represents a gain.
8, Provision for Bad (and Doubtful) Debts : As a matter of principle, all bad debts should
be debited to Profit and Loss Account of the year in which the related credit sales take place.
But this is very difficult because the actual writing off bad debts will be in some subsequent
year. In order to ensure proper matching of revenues and expenses and calculate the true profit,
it is necessary that a provision for the likely amount of bad debts is made at the end of the
‘accounting year. Such a provision is to be created on the balance of debtors account as a fixed
percentage which may be based on the past experience. The following journal entry is passed for
creating a provision for bad and doubtful debts.

Purchases € 2,65,000, opening stock % 35,000 and closing stock % 60,000. If profit margin is
25% of selling price, find out the amount of sales.
Solution:
Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock
= © 35,000 + 2,65,000 ~ 60,000
= 8 2,40,000
Profit is 25% or 1/4 of selling price then it is equal to 1/3 of cost of goods sold.
2. Profit = 2,40,000 x 1/3 «= & 80,000
Sales = Cost of goods sold + Profit
= € 2,40,000 + 80,000
