S, B and T share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. On Jan. 1, 2025. S and B agreed to share profit/losses equally on retirement of T. On this date:

  1. Book value of land and building and furniture was Rs. 2,60,000 and Rs. 60,000 respectively and were revalued at Rs. 3,00,000 and Rs. 50,000 respectively;
  2. Rs. 4,000 included in creditors was not likely to be paid;
  3. Rs. 1,000 required for bad debt reserve.

Calculate the revaluation profit or loss from the above information.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Increase in land and building +40,000+40,000; fall in furniture −10,000-10,000; creditors no longer payable +4,000+4,000; provision for bad debts −1,000-1,000. Net =40,000−10,000+4,000−1,000=33,000= 40,000 - 10,000 + 4,000 - 1,000 = 33,000 profit on revaluation.
