ACCOUNTS FROM INCOMPLETE RECORDS
BASIC CONCEPTS AND STEPS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS

¾ Single entry system is generally found in sole trading concerns or even in partnership
firms to some extent but never in case of limited liability companies on account of legal
requirements.
¾ There are three types of single entry systems:
• Pure Single Entry
• Simple Single Entry
• Quasi Single Entry
¾ Single entry system ignores the concept of duality and therefore, transactions are not
recorded in their two-fold aspects.
¾ Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Additional Capital – Drawings + Profits

1. Calculation of total sales and cost of goods sold
Cash sales = 10% of total sales
Credit sales = 90% of total sales = Rs.4,50,000

Total sales = ×100 = 5,00,000

Cash sales = 10% of 5,00,000 = Rs.50,000
2. Calculation of total purchases and credit purchases
Cash purchases = Rs.65,000
Credit purchases = 80% of total purchases
Cash purchases = 20% of total purchases

Working Notes:
1. Proposed dividend to paid up capital is 2:3.
2
i.e. Proposed dividend = of paid up capital
3
2
= Rs.1,000.00 thousand × = Rs. 666.67 thousand
3
2. Transfer to General Reserve is equal to proposed dividend i.e., 1:1.
Proposed dividend is Rs.666.67 thousand,
therefore general reserve is also Rs. 666.67 thousand.
3. Profit carried forward to Balance Sheet = 10% of Proposed Dividend
i.e., Rs. 666.67 thousand × 10% = Rs.66.66 thousand
4. 10% Loan implies interest on loan being 10%
i.e. Rs.60.00 thousand × 100 = Rs.600.00 thousand
10
5. Loan is half of current liabilities which means current liabilities are twice of loan
i.e., Rs.600.00 thousand × 2 = Rs.1,200.00 thousand
6. Current Assets 2
Current Ratio i.e., = 2:1 or
Current Liabilities 1
i.e. Current Assets = 2 x Current Liabilities
or 2 x Rs.1,200.00 thousand = Rs.2,400.00 thousand

Less: Balance b/f 140.00
Net profit for the year 1,260.00
10.41
8. Provision for taxation is equal to current net profit i.e., = Rs.1,260.00 thousand
9. Gross profit being balancing figure of Profit and Loss A/c = Rs.3,220.00 thousand
10. Gross profit = 60% of sales i.e.
Rs.3,220.00 thousand = 60% of sales
100
Or, sales = Rs.3,220 thousand × = Rs. 5,366.67 thousand
60
11. Closing stock is 25% of sales i.e., 25% of Rs. 5,366.67 thousand = Rs.1,341.67 thousand
12. Purchases being balancing figure of Trading A/c = Rs.2,613.33 thousand
13. Debtors = Current Assets – Closing Stock – Cash at Bank
= Rs.2,400.00 thousand – Rs.1,341.67 thousand – Rs.125.00 thousand
= Rs.933.33 thousand
14. Balance of general reserve at the beginning of the year is twice of the amount transferred to
general reserve during the year i.e. 2 x Rs.666.67 thousand = Rs.1,333.34 thousand
15. Other fixed assets = Total of balance sheet (liabilities side)- Current assets – Plant and
machinery
i.e., Rs.4,866.67 thousand - Rs.2,400.00 thousand – Rs.1,400.00 thousand
= Rs.1,066.67 thousand
