Cost of asset = 1,00,000
Estimated residual value = 10,000
Estimated useful life of asset = 5 years
Find the book value at the end of 2nd year using double declining balance method.
a. 24000
b. 36000
c. 40000
d. 64000
Ans - b
Explanation
Depreciation rate = (1/useful life) x 200%
= 1/5 x 200% = 20% x 2 = 40%
(*) depreciation stops when book value = residual value
[Year 1]
Depreciation amount for year 1
= beginning book value x depreciation rate
= 1,00,000 x 40% = 40,000
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 1 = 40,000
Book value at the end of year 1
= 1,00,000 - 40,000 = 60,000
[Year 2]
Depreciation amount for year 2
= beginning book value x depreciation rate
= 60,000 x 40% = 24,000
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2
= 40,000 + 24,000 = 64,000
Book value at the end of year 2
= 1,00,000 - 64,000 = 36,000
[Year 3]
Depreciation amount for year 3
= beginning book value x depreciation rate
= 36,000 x 40% = 14,400
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3
= 40,000 + 24,000 + 14,400 = 78,400
Book value at the end of year 3
= 1,00,000 - 78,400 = 21,600
[Year 4]
Depreciation amount for year 4
= beginning book value x depreciation rate
= 21,600 x 40% = 8,640
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 4
= 40,000 + 24,000 + 14,000 + 8,640 = 87,040
Book value at the end of year 4
= 1,00,000 - 87,040 = 12,960
[Year 5]
Depreciation amount for year 5
= beginning book value x depreciation rate
= 12,960 x 40% = 5,184
[NOTE]
For year 5, depreciation amount will not be 5,184.
If 5,184 is depreciated,
--> book value = 12,960 - 5,184 = 7,776
--> book value < residual value
Depreciation stops when book value = residual value
--> depreciation amount for year 5 = 2,960
--> book value = 12,960 - 2,960 = $10,000

Book value at the end of year 2
8,00,000 - 5,12,000 = 2,88,000
2,88,000 x 40% = 1,15,200
5,12,000 + 1,15,200 = 6,27,200
8,00,000 - 6,27,000 = 1,72,800
1,72,800 x 40% = 69,120
6,27,200 + 69,120 = 6,96,320
8,00,000 - 6,96,320 = 1,03,680
1,03,680 - 80,000 = 23,680
6,96,320 + 23,680 = 7,20,000

interest paid was Rs. 1230, the principal was
A. 4100
B. 4200
C. 4300
D. 4400
Ans - A
Explanation:
S.I.=P*R*T/100
=>P=S.I.*100/R/T
By applying above formula we can easily solve this question, as we are already having
the simple interest.
P = 1230*100/6/5
= 4100

same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is ......
a. 9%
b. 10%
c. 11%
d. 12%
Ans - d
Explanation:
We can get SI of 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205
SI for 5 years = (2205/3)*5 = 3675 [so that we can get principal amount after deducting
SI]
Principal = 12005 - 3675 = 6125
So Rate = (100*3675)/(6125*5) = 12%

Regular Study - Accounting & Finance for Bankers

 

Regular Study - Basic Accounting Terms
The understanding of the subject becomes easy when one has the knowledge of a few
important terms of accounting. Let us go through some of them.
Transactions
Transactions are those activities of a business, which involve transfer of money or goods or
services between two persons or two accounts. For example, purchase of goods, sale of
goods, borrowing from bank, lending of money, salaries paid, rent paid, commission
received and dividend received. Transactions are of two types, namely, cash and credit
transactions.
Cash Transaction is one where cash receipt or payment is involved in the transaction. For
example, When You buys goods from a seller paying the price of goods by cash
immediately, it is a cash transaction.

Regular Study - Classification of Accounts
Classification of Accounts
Transactions can be divided into three categories.
i. Transactions relating to individuals and firms
ii. Transactions relating to properties, goods or cash
iii. Transactions relating to expenses or losses and incomes or gains.
Therefore, accounts can also be classified into Personal, Real and Nominal. The
classification may be illustrated as follows
Personal Accounts:
Accounts recording transactions relating to individuals or firms or company are known as
personal accounts. Personal accounts may further be classified as:
(i) Natural Person’s personal accounts: The accounts recording transactions relating to
individual human beings e.g., Anand’s a/c, Ramesh’s a/c, Pankaj a/c are classified as natural
persons’ personal accounts.
(ii) Artificial Persons’ Personal accounts: The accounts recording transactions relating to
limited companies, bank, firm, institution, club, etc., Delhi Cloth Mill; M/s Sahoo & Sahoo;
Hans Raj College; Gymkhana Club are classified as artificial persons’ personal accounts.
(iii) Representative Personal Accounts: The accounts recording transactions relating to
the expenses and incomes are classified as nominal accounts. But in certain cases (due to
the matching concept of accounting) the amount, on a particular date, is payable to the
individuals or recoverable from individuals. Such amount (i) relates to the particular head of
expenditure or income and (ii) represent persons to whom it is payable or from whom it is
recoverable. Such accounts are classified as representative personal accounts e.g., “wages
outstanding account”, pre-paid Insurance account, etc.
The proprietor being an individual his capital account and his drawings account are
also personal accounts.
Impersonal Accounts
All those accounts which are not personal accounts. This is further divided into two types
viz. Real and Nominal accounts.
i. Real Accounts: Accounts relating to properties and assets which are owned by the
business concern. Real accounts include tangible and intangible accounts. For example,
Land, Building, Goodwill, Purchases, etc.
ii. Nominal Accounts: These accounts do not have any existence, form or shape. They
relate to incomes and expenses and gains and losses of a business concern. For example,
Salary Account, Dividend Account, etc.
Rules of debit and credit (classification based)
1. Personal accounts : Debit the receiver - Credit the giver (supplier)
2. Real accounts : Debit what comes in - Credit what goes out
3. Nominal accounts : Debit expenses and losses - Credit incomes and gains

• Also applicable in case of court appointed guardian.

• A minor cannot ratify the debt incurred by him during his minority after he attains majority.

• A contract with a minor is void ab-initio (Sec.11 of IC Act)

• The legal heirs of a minor are his natural guardians. 

Guardian appointed by Court : Legal Guardian

By will of father – Testamentary Guardian (only after death of Father and Mother)

• Supreme court judgement allows the Bank to open and operate account solely in the name of mother when father is alive. Father & Mother are natural guardians. 

• A minor cannot be a partner in the firm. He can be admitted only for the benefits (Sec.30 of partnership Act)Cannot be a director Sec 164 of Companies Act

• A minor can ratify the transactions of the firm only if he decides to become a partner of the firm.  In that case the bank has to obtain a ratification letter confirmation letter) from him to make him liable for all the activities of the firm during his minority.

• A minor cannot appoint an agent but he can be an agent (Sec.183 of IC Act) but he will not be personal liable, only the prinicpal will be liable for all the acts of the minor agent.

• Any necessaries supplied to the minor, it can be recovered out of his estate (S.68 of Indian Contract Act.

• Even if any loan is taken by the minor by misrepresenting his age, it cannot be recovered after he attains majority 

Rationale: If any loan is granted to the minor by taking a guarantee, it cannot be recovered either from the minor or from the guarantor since the guarantor’s liability exists only along with the borrower’s  liability. If the borrower is not liable, than the guarantor is also not liable.

Minor cannot nominate, however, personally authorized to act (guardian) on behalf of the minor can nominate.

• In the case of a Muslim minor, mother will not be a natural guardian. It is only the father, or executor of father’s will or father’s father or executor of father’s father’s will or court appointed guardian.

• Two minor can open a Joint SB account but to be operated jointly. No E or S account will be opened as it would amount to entering into a contract which is void.

• A minor cannot be declared insolvent. Since an insolvent is a person who cannot repay the liability as he has no assets to repay. But a minor cannot incur any liability as he is incapable of entering into contract. Hence he cannot be declared insolvent.

• Minor 10 years and above – SB / TDR account max Rs.2 lacs TDR period max 10 years – uniform signature. Banks risk. 14 years ATM classic card

• By guardian no age restriction. Consolidated balance Rs.20 lacs max.

• Acc to Sec 26 of NI act, minor can draw, endorse or negotiate a cheque or Bill of Exchange but he cannot be held liable.  He cannot be sued. Bill is valid, other parties are liable.

Rationale : Minor cannot be declared insolvent – Insolvent is a person who is not capable of repaying his liabilities because he has no assets to repay whereas a minor cannot incur any liabilities during his minority since he is incapable of entering into contract as per sec 11 of contract act.  Hence a minor cannot be declared as an insolvent.

Rationale: Bank has to obtain rectification letter from the minor who has attained majority and has become a partner in a firm – This letter is obtained from him in order to make him liable for all the debts and liabilities incurred by the firm during his minority otherwise he may try to escape the liability of the firm incurred in the past.
