(3) Prepaid insurance premium is of 3 months (from 1-4-17 to 30-6-17) = 1200 × (frac{3}{12}) = ₹ 300 prepaid insurance premium.

(4) Total interest on Harsha’s loan = 10,000 × (frac{6}{100} times frac{6}{12}) = ₹ 300. Against that interest ₹ 200 is already paid. ∴ Unpaid interest on loan = ₹ 100.

For Harsha = 20,000 × (frac{5}{100}) = ₹ 1,000 – ₹ 700 (paid int.) = ₹ 300 (o/s int.)
For Chhaya = 30,000 × (frac{5}{100}) = ₹ 1,500 – ₹ 1,000 (paid int.) = ₹ 500 (o/s int.)

(6) Salary to Chhaya : Monthly ₹ 500 × 12 months = ₹ 6,000 ; already paid amount = ₹ 5,500 ∴ o/s salary = ₹ 500.

(7) Interest on drawings @ 6% :
For Harsha = 5,000 × (frac{6}{100} times frac{6}{12}) = ₹ 150 – ₹ 100 (int. reed.) = ₹ 50 (receivable int.)
For six months from (1-10-16 to 31-3-17)
For Chhaya = 10,000 × (frac{6}{100} times frac{3}{12}) = ₹ 150 – ₹ 50 (int. reed.) = ₹ 100 (receivable int.)

(8) Interest on current account: Harsha – 6,000 × (frac{10}{100}) = ₹ 600 – ₹ 100 (int. paid) = ₹ 500 (o/s int.)

Thus, Interest on drawing for Jay = ₹ 660
Interest on drawing for Prafulla = ₹ 960 + ₹ 80 = ₹ 1,040

(10) Calculation for Closing Stock Value :

∴ Total Loss = 1,200 + 1,200 + 10,500 = ₹ 12,900
