Question 2.

M/S. Safe Way Co. is setting up a small retail outlet with an initial capital of Rs.400,000/- and has taken a loan of Rs.150,000/- to be invested as follows:

(a) Land and building Rs.300,000/-
(b) Shelves, furniture, fixtures and fittings Rs.60,000/-.
(c )Computers, till machine and other equipment, Rs.15000/-
(d) Delivery van Rs.15,000/-

  • The delivery van was bought on credit from a second-hand car dealer and all the other items were paid for in cash.

Write the double-entry formula entries for the above transactions. Use the abbreviation for statement of financial position SOFP (balance sheet).

1) Specify whether the assets are current or non-current in nature?
2) Specify whether the liabilities are current or non-current in nature?

Answer:

We first need to break down the transactions for M/S. Safe Way Co. and create double-entry formula entries. We’ll also specify whether the assets and liabilities are current or non-current:

Assets:

  • Land and Building: Rs.300,000 (Non-current asset)
  • Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings: Rs.60,000 (Non-current asset)
  • Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment: Rs.15,000 (Non-current asset)
  • Delivery Van: Rs.15,000 (Non-current asset)

Liabilities:

  • Loan: Rs.150,000 (Non-current liability)

Now let’s create the double-entry formula entries:

  • Land and Building (Non-current asset):

    • Debit: Land and Building (Asset) = Rs.300,000
    • Credit: Loan (Liability) = Rs.150,000
    • Credit: Capital (Equity) = Rs.150,000
  • Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings (Non-current asset):

    • Debit: Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings (Asset) = Rs.60,000
    • Credit: Capital (Equity) = Rs.60,000
  • Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment (Non-current asset):

    • Debit: Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment (Asset) = Rs.15,000
    • Credit: Capital (Equity) = Rs.15,000
  • Delivery Van (Non-current asset):

    • Debit: Delivery Van (Asset) = Rs.15,000
    • Credit: Loan (Liability) = Rs.15,000

The accounting equation (SOFP) remains balanced as shown below:

[ {Assets} = {Liabilities} + {Equity} ]

We now organize the double-entry formula entries for M/S. Safe Way Co. in a tabulated format, resembling an accounts format:

Account Debit (Rs) Credit(Rs)
Land and Building 300,000
Shelves, Furniture, Fixtures, and Fittings 60,000
Computers, Till Machine, and Other Equipment 15,000
Delivery Van 15,000
Loan (Liability) 150,000
Capital (Equity) 225,000
Total: 390,000 Total: 390,000

The accounting equation (SOFP) remains balanced:

[ {Assets} = {Liabilities} + {Equity} ]
