Solution

This is a complex accounting problem that requires the preparation of a Profit and Loss account and a Balance Sheet based on the given trial balance and additional notes. Here's how to approach it:

Step 1: Adjustments to the Trial Balance First, we need to make adjustments to the trial balance based on the notes provided.

  • Stock: The closing stock is valued at Sh. 1,360,000. This will be used in the calculation of the cost of goods sold and will also appear in the balance sheet.
  • General Expenses: Sh. 26,400 of the general expenses is for domestic use and should be deducted from the business expenses.
  • Motor Vehicle: A vehicle was sold for Sh. 150,000. This will reduce the value of the motor vehicles in the balance sheet.
  • Wages and Salaries: There are outstanding wages of Sh. 66,400. This will increase the wages and salaries expense and will also appear as a liability in the balance sheet.
  • Rates and Insurance: There is prepaid rates and insurance of Sh. 12,000. This will reduce the rates and insurance expense and will also appear as an asset in the balance sheet.
  • Interest on Loan: Only half of the interest due has been paid. This will increase the interest expense and will also appear as a liability in the balance sheet.
  • Provision for Doubtful Debts: This needs to be adjusted to 5% of the debtors. This will affect the value of the debtors in the balance sheet.
  • Depreciation: This needs to be provided for the furniture and fittings and the motor vehicles. This will reduce the value of these assets in the balance sheet.

Step 2: Prepare the Profit and Loss Account The Profit and Loss account shows the revenues, costs and expenses of the business for the year. It is prepared by subtracting the cost of goods sold and the expenses from the sales. The result is the net profit or loss for the year.

Step 3: Prepare the Balance Sheet The Balance Sheet shows the financial position of the business at a specific point in time. It is prepared by listing the assets, liabilities and owner's equity of the business. The total assets should equal the total liabilities and owner's equity.

This is a simplified explanation of the process. The actual calculations would require more detailed work and understanding of accounting principles.
