Important Examination Instructions for Accountancy Students

• The question paper contains four parts: A, B, C and D.
• Part A is divided into Sections I, II, III and IV.
• Students should provide working notes wherever necessary.
• An additional 15 minutes is allotted for reading the question paper.
• Figures printed in the right-hand margin indicate the full marks for each question.
• For Part A, only the first written answers are considered for evaluation.

Preparation Tip: In accounting problems, always show the proper account format, calculations, working notes and final totals. The Scheme of Evaluation awards marks for specific steps and correctly prepared accounts.

Part A – Accountancy Objective Questions

Part A carries 20 marks and includes questions from partnership accounting, share capital, debentures, financial statements, cash flows and accounting ratios.

The five multiple-choice questions cover:

• The minimum number of people required to form a partnership.
• The new profit-sharing ratio after the retirement of a partner.
• The accounting treatment of unrecorded liabilities on dissolution.
• The relationship between issued capital and authorised capital.
• Identification of an extraordinary item.

The fill-in-the-blanks test terms such as agreement, sacrificing ratio, Cash or Bank Account, short-term borrowings and vertical analysis.

The matching section includes goodwill valuation, debentures, revenue from operations, profitability ratios and cash-flow statements.

Questions 12 to 16 test basic concepts through true-or-false, definitions and short responses, including redemption of debentures and the expansion of ROI.

Selected Objective Answers from the 2026 Evaluation Scheme

Question	Correct Answer
1	Two people
2	5 : 3
3	Debit side of Realisation Account
4	Authorised capital
5	Loss due to theft
6	Agreement
7	Sacrificing
8	Cash/Bank
9	Twelve
10	Vertical
16	Return on Investment

These are selected examples. Students should download the complete Model Answers PDF for all matching responses and explanations.

Part B – Two-Mark Accountancy Questions

Part B contains five questions, numbered 17 to 21. Students must answer any three questions for six marks.

Question	Topic
17	Differences between fixed capital and fluctuating capital methods.
18	Modes of settlement of the amount due to a retiring partner.
19	Meaning of oversubscription of shares.
20	Types of financial statements.
21	Examples of financing activities.

The Scheme of Evaluation awards marks for relevant points. For example, the fixed capital method normally maintains separate capital and current accounts, whereas the fluctuating capital method records adjustments directly in the capital account.

Students should revise important definitions and practise answering in concise, complete sentences.

Part C – Six-Mark Accountancy Problems

Part C contains Questions 22 to 26. Students must answer any three questions. Each selected problem carries six marks.

Question	Accounting Problem
22	Preparation of Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.
23	Calculation of gaining ratio after retirement of a partner.
24	Preparation of a deceased partner's Executors Account.
25	Preparation of Statement of Profit and Loss under Schedule III.
26	Cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.

Question 22 – Profit and Loss Appropriation Account

Question 22 involves Ravi and Kiran, who started a partnership business with capitals of ₹1,50,000 and ₹1,00,000 respectively, sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2.

The adjustments include interest on capital, interest on drawings, commission payable to Ravi and salary payable to Kiran.

Students must prepare the Profit and Loss Appropriation Account for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The Scheme of Evaluation distributes six marks across the appropriate accounting entries. Students should practise placing the adjustments on the correct debit and credit sides and transferring the remaining profit in the agreed ratio.

Question 23 – Gaining Ratio

Question 23 involves Geetha, Latha and Sangeetha sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Following Latha's retirement, the continuing partners agree to share profits in the ratio of 3 : 2.

The gaining ratio is calculated using:

Gaining Share = New Share − Old Share

According to the Scheme of Evaluation, the final gaining ratio of Geetha and Sangeetha is 1 : 2.

Question 24 – Deceased Partner's Executors Account

Question 24 concerns Anil, Vishal and Sunil, who share profits and losses in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 3. Vishal died on 31 December 2025.

Students must calculate the amount due to the deceased partner by considering:

• Capital balance.
• Interest on capital up to the date of death.
• Salary payable up to the date of death.
• Share of goodwill according to the supplied question.
• Share of accrued profit up to the date of death.

The model answer shows ₹1,27,300 as the final amount transferred through Vishal's Executors Account.

Question 25 – Statement of Profit and Loss

Question 25 requires the preparation of a company's Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31 March 2025, using the particulars given in the examination paper.

The question includes revenue from operations, purchases, salaries, finance costs, depreciation, rent, administrative expenses and income tax.

The Scheme of Evaluation shows:

• Total revenue: ₹8,00,000.
• Total expenses before tax: ₹6,00,000.
• Profit before tax: ₹2,00,000.
• Income tax: ₹60,000.
• Profit for the year: ₹1,40,000.

Question 26 – Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Question 26 requires the calculation of cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.

The adjustments include depreciation, profit on sale of assets, a decrease in trade receivables and a decrease in trade payables.

The Scheme of Evaluation gives the final net cash flow from operating activities as ₹8,00,000.

Students should practise distinguishing non-cash expenses, non-operating items and changes in working capital.

Part D – Twelve-Mark Accountancy Problems

Part D carries 36 marks and contains Questions 27 to 32. Students must answer any three questions. Each selected question carries twelve marks.

Question	Long-Answer Problem
27	Admission of a new partner: Revaluation Account, Partners' Capital Accounts and new Balance Sheet.
28	Dissolution of partnership: Realisation Account, Partners' Capital Accounts and Bank Account.
29	Journal entries for issue, forfeiture and reissue of equity shares.

Question 27 – Admission of a Partner

Question 27 involves Govind and Sudeep, who are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 1. They admit Tarun into the partnership on 1 April 2025.

The problem includes adjustments for goodwill, depreciation on furniture, appreciation of buildings and revaluation of machinery.

Students must prepare:

1. Revaluation Account.
2. Partners' Capital Accounts.
3. New Balance Sheet.

The Scheme of Evaluation allocates 2 marks for Revaluation Account, 5 marks for Partners' Capital Accounts and 5 marks for the new Balance Sheet.

The model-answer Balance Sheet totals ₹2,54,000 on each side.

Question 28 – Dissolution of Partnership

Question 28 concerns Anitha and Sunitha, who are equal partners. The firm is dissolved on 31 March 2025.

The problem provides realised values of debtors, bills receivable, computers, machinery, land and an unrecorded investment. It also includes payments of liabilities and dissolution expenses.

Students must prepare:

1. Realisation Account.
2. Partners' Capital Accounts.
3. Bank Account.

The Scheme of Evaluation allocates 6 marks for Realisation Account, 3 marks for Partners' Capital Accounts and 3 marks for Bank Account.

Students should practise transferring assets and liabilities, recording realisation expenses, distributing the resulting loss or profit and settling partners' capitals.

Question 29 – Issue, Forfeiture and Reissue of Shares

Question 29 concerns Supreme Company Limited, which issued 10,000 equity shares of ₹100 each at a premium of ₹10 per share.

The final call on 500 shares was not received. These shares were forfeited and later reissued at ₹80 per share as fully paid-up shares.

Students must pass journal entries for:

• Receipt and transfer of share application money.
• Share allotment and securities premium.
• First and final call.
• Call money received and calls in arrears.
• Forfeiture of 500 shares.
• Reissue of the forfeited shares.
• Transfer of the remaining forfeiture profit to Capital Reserve.

According to the Model Answers, ₹20,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve after reissue.

Question 30 – Debenture Issue and Interest

Question 30 concerns Atridatta Company Limited, which issued 10,000 debentures carrying 10% interest, with a face value of ₹100 each.

The debentures were issued at a discount of 10% and redeemable at a premium of 10%. Interest is paid half-yearly, with tax deducted at source at 10%, according to the question.

Students should prepare journal entries for:

• Receipt of debenture application money.
• Issue of debentures at a discount.
• Premium payable on redemption.
• Half-yearly debenture interest.
• Tax deducted at source.
• Payment of interest to debenture holders.
• Transfer of interest expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Correct account titles, amounts and journal-entry structure are important for securing the allotted marks.

Question 31 – Comparative Balance Sheet

Question 31 provides Balance Sheets of Sunstar Company Limited for the years ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025.

Students must prepare a Comparative Balance Sheet showing:

• Figures for the previous year.
• Figures for the current year.
• Absolute increase or decrease.
• Percentage increase or decrease.

The total Balance Sheet figures are:

• 2024: ₹10,50,000.
• 2025: ₹14,50,000.
• Absolute increase: ₹4,00,000.
• Percentage increase: 38.10%, as shown in the Scheme of Evaluation.

The evaluation scheme allocates marks to the individual correctly calculated rows. Students should practise the full comparative statement rather than only computing the totals.

The final question requires students to calculate six accounting ratios from the financial information supplied.

Accounting Ratio	Model Answer Result
Current Ratio	1.2 : 1
Debt to Capital Employed Ratio	0.29 : 1
Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio	4 times

Each correctly calculated ratio carries two marks, with one mark for the formula and one for the calculation according to the Scheme of Evaluation.
