What is Trail balance?

Answer»

Multiple entries in various accounts will make a ledger.  Taking all the ledger balances and presenting them in a single worksheet as on a particular date is Trial Balance. To understand a trial balance, we must first understand the following-

  • Double entry system – Recording two entries for a single transaction that is equal and opposite in nature
  • Journal – All transactions recorded in double entry system of bookkeeping
  • Ledger – Summary of all journals of a similar nature.
28252.

State any two limitations of Incomplete Record System.

Answer»

Following are the limitations of incomplete records: 

(a) As double entry system is not followed, a trial balance cannot be prepared. 

(b) Correct ascertainment and evaluation of financial result of business operations cannot be made.

28253.

State any three advantages of bill of exchange.

Answer»

The bills of exchange as instruments of credit are used frequently in business because of the following advantages:

(a) Framework for relationships: A bill of exchange represents an instrument, which provides a framework for enabling the credit transaction between the seller/creditor and buyer/debtor on an agreed basis.

(b) Certainty of terms and conditions: The creditor knows the time when (s)he would receive the money so also debtor is fully aware of the date by which (s)he has to pay the money. This is due to the fact that terms and conditions of the relationships between debtor and creditor such as amount required to be paid; date of payment; interest to be paid, if any, place of payment are clearly mentioned in the bill of exchange.

(c) Convenient means of credit: A bill of exchange enables the buyer to buy the goods on credit and pay after the period of credit. However, the seller of goods even after extension of credit can get payment immediately either by discounting the bill with the bank or by endorsing it in favour of a third party.

Explain the work-energy theorem in detail and also give three examples?

Answer»

1. If the work done by the force on the body is positive then its kinetic energy increases. 

2. If the work done by the force on the body is negative then its kinetic energy decreases. 

3. If there is no work done by the force on the body then there is no change in its kinetic energy, which means that the body has moved at constant speed provided its mass remains constant. 

4. When a particle moves with constant speed in a circle, there is no change in the kinetic energy of the particle. So according to work energy principle, the work done by centripetal force is zero.

Final accounts can be prepared from incomplete records. Explain the procedure.

Answer»

Though the records are incomplete, the trader has to ascertain the profit or loss of his business and the position regarding assets and liabilities. Two methods are adopted for ascertainment of profit or loss. 

They are:

1. Ascertainment of profit or loss by statement of affair method.

2. Preparation of profit and loss account and balance sheet under conversion method.

1. Statement of Affair Method:

Under this method, profit or loss can be ascertained by comparing the capital at the beginning and at the end of the financial period. For this purpose, two statements are prepared.

a. Statement of Affairs:

It is a statement prepared by presenting the assets on one side and liabilities on the other side as in the case of a balance sheet. The difference between the totals of the two sides is known as “owners equity or capital”.

Owner equity or capital = Asset – Liabilities

b. Statement of profit or loss:

The statement prepared to ascertain the profit or loss by comparing the opening capital with closing capital is called statement of profit or loss. If the capital at the end of the year exceeds the capital in the beginning of the year, the difference will be treated as “profit.” On the other hand, If the capital in the beginning of the year is more than that at the end of the year, there is “loss.”

2. Conversion Method:

Under single entry system, nominal accounts and real accounts (other than cash) are not maintained. Hence it is not possible to prepare the profit and loss account and balance sheet under the system. In such a situation, financial statements are to be prepared by converting accounts under single entry to that under double entry. This method of preparing financial statements is called conversion method.

What is the principle of working of solar cooker? Write two major drawbacks of all solar heating devices.

Answer»

Principle of working of solar cooker: 

The glass sheet placed in the box alloes the sun heat (rays) to be absorbed by the black surface of box but does not allow the heat so absorbed to leave the box easily. This is because the glass has the peculiar properly to pass through it only such infrared radiations which have wavelength near to visible light. It does not allow infrared radiations of higher wavelength to come out of the solar cooker. Thus the temperature. Now the wavelength of infrared radiations inside the box is higher than those from outside. Hence, heat from the box does not pass out through glass sheet. Further inside black of the cooker absorb maximum heat.

Major Disadvantages:

1. Solar energy is available in highly diffused focus.

2. Proper devices to concentrate and store solar energy are not available as yet.

“When You Are Old” Summary

Answer»

The speaker directly addresses someone else and asks this person to imagine old age, a time of grey hair and general tiredness. The speaker tells the addressee to pick up this book when they're falling asleep by the fire, and to read from it, while dreaming of the soft and shadowed look the addressee's own eyes used to have.

The addressee should also think of how many people loved the addressee's gracefulness and beauty, whether or not these people were sincere in their love. But there was one man who genuinely loved the addressee's emotional and spiritual restlessness. This man also loved the sadness that showed on the addressee's face as it changed over the years.

The speaker imagines the addressee bending down to tend to a fire and muttering sadly about how love ran away to walk restlessly in the mountains and hide among the stars of the night.

If a times the ath term of an A.P. is equal to b times the bth term, find the (a + b)th term. (a) 0 (b) a2 - b2 (c) a - b (d) 1

Answer»

Correct option (a) 0

Explanation:

Identify an AP which satisfies the given condition. 

Suppose we are talking about the second and third terms of the AP. 

Then an AP with second term 3 and third term 2 satisfies the condition. 

 A times the ath term = b times the bth term. 

 In this case the value of a = 2 and b = 3. 

Hence, for the (a + b)th term, we have to find the 5th term.

It is clear that the 5th term of the AP must be zero. 

Check the other three options to see whether any option gives 0 when a = 2 and b = 3. 

Since none of the options b, c or d gives zero for this particular value,
