Option 2: 1,08,000

Option 3: 2,00,000

Option 4: 3,20,000

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1,88,000


Solution : Answer = 1,88,000

Calculation of Normal Profit:

Year-Ended Normal Profit/(Loss) (Rs.)

31st March, 2016 30,000
31st March, 2017 70,000
31st March, 2018 1,00,000
31st March, 2019 1,40,000
31st March, 2020 (1,05,000) (Loss) (Note)

Total Normal Profit 2,35,000

Average Profit = = Rs. 2,35,000/5 = Rs. 47,000

Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year  Purchase = Rs. 47,000 × 4 = Rs. 1,88,000.

Calculation of Adjusted Loss for the year ended 31st March 2020:      Rs.

Loss for the year ended 31st March 2020                                    =  1,20,000

Less: Cost of Cycles wrongly debited to Profit and Loss A/c        =  (20,000)

                                                                                                      = 1,00,000

Add: Depreciation @ 25% p.a. on Rs. 20,000 (cycles)                =       5,000

Loss for the year                                                                           =  1,05,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.

divya 6th Oct, 2021

Hello,

Congrats on getting seats in two very good colleges. I will help you out here with the plus points of both colleges so you can make a better decision:

  1. VIT Vellore
  • Startup Ecosystem
  • NIRF rank #12
  • Research and industry based course structure
  • Placements in level with NITs, GFTIs

2. PDEU, Gandhinagar

  • INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS
  • NIRF Rank #68
  • More accessible location
  • Better exposure to energy sector
  • Continuously updated curriculum

If fees is something you are considering as a doubt I would suggest that PDEU is a very good option and you have a very decent rank in JEE too so you will be able to accelerate your career growth very well.

Good luck, Hope it helps!!

Subhrajit Mukherjee 2nd Jun, 2021

The experiences you have is great which you can properly channelize via Management course like MBA. But for MBA you need to have any Bachelors Degree. So you have to do a Btech/any degree as you wish in order to pursue MBA.

Apart from this nowadays Data Science is a new craze and it is used in every sector. IIT MADRAS offers a online BSc Program in Data Science. You can do this course. The course will give you a proper exposure as well as a IIT tag which will help you upgrade your job profile. Now as this is a online degree this will help you to work alongside. And after completion of these you may appear for MBA (if you want else you have plenty of jobs in this field).

is feminism costing indians?????

Ayush 5th Jan, 2021

Hello Candidate,

Broadly speaking Feminism is often divided into three main traditions usually called - liberal, reformist or mainstream feminism, radical feminism and socialist/Marxist feminism.

Despite the progress made by Indian feminist movements, women living in modern India still face many issues of discrimination. India's patriarchal culture has made the process of gaining land-ownership rights and access to education challenging.

Hope that this answer helps you!!
