Numerical Questions

Question 1.

Solution 1:

Working Notes:-
Computation of Percentage Change:-
1.) Changes in Share Capital = Current Share Capital – Previous Share Capital
Changes in Share Capital = Rs. 8,00,000 – Rs .5,00,000
Changes in Share Capital = Rs. 3,00,000

Share Capital = (Changes in Share Capital)/(Base year Capital) × 100
Share Capital = 3,00,000/5,00,000 × 100 = 60%

2.) Changes in Long-term Borrowings = Current Long-term Borrowings – Previous Long-term Borrowings
Changes in Long-term Borrowings = Rs. 8,00,000 – Rs .5,00,000
Changes in Long-term Borrowings = Rs. 3,00,000
Long-term Borrowings = (Changes in Long-term Borrowing)/(Base year Long-term Borrowing) × 100
Long-term Borrowings = 1,00,000/3,00,000 × 100 = 33.33%

Question 2.

Solution 2

Working Notes:-
Computation of Percentage Change:-
1.) Changes in Share Capital = Current Share Capital – Previous Share Capital
Changes in Share Capital = 25 – 20
Changes in Share Capital = 5
Share Capital = (Changes in Share Capital)/(Base year Capital) × 100
Share Capital = 5/20×100 = 25%

2.) Changes in Reserve and Surplus = Current Reserve and Surplus – Previous Reserve and Surplus
Changes in Reserve and Surplus = 40 – 36
Changes in Reserve and Surplus = 4

Reserve and Surplus = (Changes in Reserve and Surplus)/(Base year Reserve and Surplus) × 100
Reserve and Surplus = 4/36 ×100 = 11.11%

3.) Changes in Long-term Borrowings = Current Long-term Borrowings – Previous Long-term Borrowings
Changes in Long-term Borrowings = 12 – 9
Changes in Long-term Borrowings = 3

Long-term Borrowings = (Changes in Long-term Borrowing)/(Base year Long-term Borrowing) × 100
Long-term Borrowings = 3/9×100 = 33.33%

Question 3.

Solution 3

Working Notes:-
Computation of Percentage Change:-
1.) Changes in Share Capital = Current Share Capital – Previous Share Capital
Changes in Share Capital = 375 – 400
Changes in Share Capital = -25
Share Capital = (Changes in Share Capital)/(Base year Capital) × 100
Share Capital = (-25)/400×100 = -6.25%

2.) Changes in Reserve and Surplus = Current Reserve and Surplus – Previous Reserve and Surplus
Changes in Reserve and Surplus = 72 – 60
Changes in Reserve and Surplus = 12
Reserve and Surplus = (Changes in Reserve and Surplus)/(Base year Reserve and Surplus) × 100
Reserve and Surplus = 12/60 ×100 = 20%

3.) Changes in Long-term Borrowings = Current Long-term Borrowings – Previous Long-term Borrowings
Changes in Long-term Borrowings = 150 – 90
Changes in Long-term Borrowings = 60

Long-term Borrowings = (Changes in Long-term Borrowing)/(Base year Long-term Borrowing) × 100
Long-term Borrowings = 60/90×100 = 66.67%

Question 4.

Solution 4

Working Notes:-
Computation of Percentage Change:-
1.) Changes in Revenue from Operations = Current Revenue from Operations – Previous Revenue from Operations
Changes in Revenue from Operations = Rs. 15,00,000 – Rs. 18,00,000
Changes in Revenue from Operations = Rs. 3,00,000

Revenue from Operations = (Changes in Revenue from Operations)/(Base Revenue from Operations)×100
Revenue from Operations = 3,00,000/15,00,000 ×100 = 20%

2.) Changes in Total Revenue = Current Total Revenue – Previous Total Revenue
Changes in Total Revenue = Rs. 18,60,000 – Rs. 15,30,000
Changes in Total Revenue = Rs. 3,30,000

Total Revenue = (Changes in Total Revenue)/(Base year Total Revenue)×100
Total Revenue = 3,30,000/15,30,000 ×100 = 21.57%

Revenue from Operations = (Changes in Revenue from Operations)/(Base Revenue from Operations)×100
Revenue from Operations = 20,00,000/60,00,000 ×100 = 33.33%

2.) Changes in Total Revenue = Current Total Revenue – Previous Total Revenue
Changes in Total Revenue = Rs. 52,80,000 – Rs. 48,42,000
Changes in Total Revenue = Rs. 4,38,000
Total Revenue = (Changes in Total Revenue)/(Base year Total Revenue)×100
