here is the problem
A.O.A,
Actually i have issue in worksheet, i hv gone through books, bt nt satisfied.
The problem which lies is about the Opening inventory and vise versa closing inventory.
As opening inventory reflects as DEBIT in Trial balance, bt while making an adjustment at year end, wt should be the adjusting entry passed for closing inventory?????

A.O.A,
Look, the thing is that when you are making the worksheet, treat the income statement columns as sort of a T account. You might know that in Pakistan income statement is more appropriately known as Profit and Loss account. Since it is assumed that all the opening inventory is sold, so it is credited and income statement is debited. Notice that it is not the opening inventory that gets debited but the income statement. Here are the entries
Dr. Income statement
Cr. Opening Inventory
Dr. Closing Inventory
Cr. Income Statement
Hope this helps.

opening stock is an asset definitely. And it is shown as a debit because when stock is bought, cash is paid (credit entry in cash ledger) and purchases are debited. Therefore, all the purchases are debited. Since opening stock is also purchases (though unsold), it will be treated as a debit entry.
This was a rudimentary explanation but i hope u mite have understood.

A.O.A,
The adjustment for unearned commission arises when we have credited everything received from commission to commission income, without regard to the fact that this whole amount may or may not be related to the current year.
Suppose on Dec.1 we receive Rs. 10,000 commission income, but this includes 2,000 as advance for the next year.
The actual but conceptually incorrect entry is
Dr. Cash 10000
Cr. Commission income 10000
Since we want commission income account to show 8000, we will make the following adjusting entry on Dec 31
Dr. Commission income 8000
Cr. Unearned Commission 8000

Sory, the above would be
Dr. Commission income 2000
Cr. Unearned Commission 2000

continuing!!
A.O.A,
Sir, i hv read, and also going through M.A.GHANI book, but unearned income is our liability, and will be reflected in our balance sheet, as we are paid for services we have not yet provided.
what abt drawings?
proprietor taken some goods amounting Rs.5,000 for personal use from business?
Wht wl b entry?
should it be deducted from capital?bt drawaing is our expns, so sould b reflected in P/L. Please clarify in detail.
Thanks alooooooot

It is true that unearned income is a liability and will be reflected in the balance sheet. In the next year when we have actually rendered the services, then this liability will convert into income by this entry
Dr. Unearned Commission
Cr. Commission income
Drawing is not an expense of the business, but a reduction in capital. If goods are taken out of the business for personal use, then the entry will be
Dr. Drawings
Cr. Purchases
The whole amount in the drawings account is closed to the capital account at year end
Dr. Capital
Cr. Drawings
The above two entries could have been combined like this
Dr. Capital
Cr. Purchases
Well, sAm, for a better understanding of all this stuff, you can read the Accounting book of Meigs and Meigs.
