Solution
On admission of a partner, machinery was valued at ₹ 45,000 but was undervalued by 10%.
To find the correct value, we calculate the undervalued amount:
Undervaluation = 10% of ₹ 45,000
=
Now, add this to the original value:
Correct value = ₹ 45,000 + ₹ 4,500
=
However, the question asks for the value that will appear in the new Balance Sheet. Since the machinery was undervalued, we need to adjust it to its true value.
True value = ₹ 45,000 / (1 - 0.10)
=
So, the value of machinery will appear in the new Balance Sheet at:
₹ 50,000
Correct answer: Option 2.
