b.
A Company
c.
Multinational enterprises
d.
Government
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Incomplete records are generally maintained by small sized sole trader business.

Partner’s salary Correct Answer
b.

d.

Q8 mcq 1 mark
The total capitalised value of a business is ` 1,00,000; Assets are ` 1,50,000 and Liabilities are ` 80,000. The value of Goodwill as per the capitalisation method will be :
a.
` 1,00,000
b.
` 40,000
c.
` 30,000
d.
` 70,000 Correct Answer
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Under the capitalisation method, goodwill is calculated as: $$\text{Goodwill} = \text{Capitalised value of business} - \text{Net Assets}$$ Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities = 1,50,000 - 80,000 = 70,000. So, $$\text{Goodwill} = 1,00,000 - 70,000 = 30,000$$ Therefore, the value of goodwill is ₹30,000. Hence, option (C) is mathematically correct from the working. However, since the provided options include ₹30,000 as option (C), the correct answer is option (C), not (D).
Q9 mcq 1 mark
On Revaluation, the increase in the value of assets leads to :
a.
Loss
b.
Expense
c.
Gain Correct Answer
d.
None of these
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
On revaluation, if the value of an asset increases, it results in a gain to the firm because the asset is now worth more than before. Hence, the increase in value of assets is credited to the Revaluation Account as a gain. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Gain. Loss would arise if assets decrease in value, expense is not the right term here, and 'none of these' is incorrect.
Q10 mcq 1 mark
If the old profit sharing ratio is more than the new profit sharing ratio of a partner, the difference is called :
a.
Sacrificing ratio Correct Answer
b.
Gaining ratio
c.
Capital ratio
d.
None of these
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
When a partner's old profit-sharing ratio is more than the new profit-sharing ratio, the difference between the two represents the share that the partner gives up. This is called the sacrificing ratio. Gaining ratio is the opposite, i.e., when a partner gets a larger share than before. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Sacrificing ratio.
