Mr. Singh knew that income statement is prepared to find the net income or net loss
resulting from the business transactions during an accounting period. He was aware
about accrual basis of accounting and according to the matching concept, all the
expenses incurred during the year should be matched with the incomes or revenues
during the same accounting year whether they are actually realized or not. If an
expense is incurred, whether paid it or not, it is considered as an expense during the
year. Finally, a balance sheet is a statement which shows what a business owns and
what a business owes as on a particular date.

Before proceeding to the preparation of Financial Statements, Rocket Singh has


received some more additional information.
1. The closing stock of goods lying in the stockroom was physically checked and
valued for Rs.15000 as per the market price which is lower than the cost price.
2. In addition to Mr. Kamal whose debt had been written off, Rocket Singh found
that Mr. Bhaskar also would not be able to pay his debt worth Rs.1000. He felt
that it would be right to write off this account also. Moreover, Singh has also
decided to make a provision for doubtful debts to the extent of 5% of sundry
debtors to cover the probable bad debts.
3. As a policy, Rocket Singh decided to depreciate the equipment on the straight
line method, buildings and furniture on the written down value method @ 2%
p.a. and 20% p.a. respectively.
4. He also noticed that the insurance premium of Rs.2000 was paid on equipment
for one year period from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011.
5. The salaries for the month of December, 2010 for Rs.1000 were not paid.
6. The interest on loan was not yet paid for the month of December 2010.
7. The interest on investments was received half-yearly and accrued on December
31 2010.
8. The benefit of advertisement expense was expected to be for two years and hence
it was decided that half of the advertisement expense would be written off in the
current year and the remaining half would be carried forward to the next year.
After considering the above given information, prepare income statement for the
year ended 31- 12-2010 and the balance sheet as on 31-12-2010.
