Short Questions Financial Statements 2 Class 11 Solutions

  1. Why is it necessary to record the adjusting entries in the preparation of final accounts?

Recording adjusting entries in preparing final accounts is necessary because of the following reasons:

  1. It helps in assessing whether the final accounts reflect true profit or loss, and it also shows the true financial position of a business.
  2. It ensures accounts comply with the accrual basis of accounting.
  3. It makes sure that all financial transactions belong to the current fiscal year. No transactions of past or future are taken into account.
  4. It provides the scope for introducing different provisions, which can be made at year-end, only after assessing the whole year’s performance.
  1. What is meant by closing stock? Show its treatment in final accounts.

The cost of goods that remains unsold in the inventory after the completion of the accounting period is referred to as the closing stock. The closing stock value is determined by comparing the realisable value and cost price. The lesser among the two values is considered as the value of the closing stock.

In final accounts, the closing stock is adjusted by:

1) Crediting the closing stock to trading and profit and loss account.

2) Placing it on the asset part of the balance sheet.

The following entries need to be passed for adjustment

(a) Outstanding expenses

(b) Prepaid expenses

(c) Income received in advance

(b) Prepaid expenses: Those types of expenses in which the associated benefit has not been materialised but the payment is already done in advance are known as prepaid expenses.

(c) Income received in advance: The income is received in the present accounting period, and the benefits will be realised in the upcoming accounting period, such income is called income received in advance.

(d) Accrued income: Income that is earned in the accounting period but yet to be received by the end of the accounting period is known as accrued income. It is the due to be received in future accounting periods. It is shown on the asset side of the balance sheet.

It can be the full amount or a part of the sum borrowed. It is uncertain as to how much will that debt actually becomes bad debt. A business has to make a reasonable estimate for such an event.

The journal entry for such an event can be written as follows:

Adjusting these items will provide a true and fair view of the business.
