27 July 2024 To solve this accounting question, follow these steps:

### **1. Determine the Book Value of the Sold Machine:**
- **Book Value on 1 OCT 2013:** Given as ₹40K
- **Loss on Sale:** ₹15K
- **Selling Price:** Since the machine was sold at a loss of ₹15K, the selling price can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Selling Price} = \text{Book Value} - \text{Loss} = ₹40K - ₹15K = ₹25K
\]

### **2. Determine the Cost of New Machinery Purchased:**
- **Plant & Machinery on 31 MARCH 2013:** ₹2.20L
- **Plant & Machinery on 31.MARCH 2014:** ₹3.30L
- **Increase in Machinery:**
\[
\text{Increase} = ₹3.30L - ₹2.20L = ₹1.10L
\]
- **Less Sale of Machinery:**
\[
\text{Book Value of Sold Machinery} = ₹40K
\]
- **Net Increase due to Purchase of New Machinery:**
\[
\text{Net Purchase} = ₹1.10L - ₹40K = ₹70K
\]

### **3. Record the Transactions:**

#### **Journal Entries:**

**A. Sale of Old Machinery:**
- **Date:** 1.10.2013
- **Entry:**
- **Debit:** Bank/Cash ₹25K (Selling Price)
- **Debit:** Loss on Sale of Machinery ₹15K (Loss)
- **Credit:** Machinery Account ₹40K (Book Value)

**B. Purchase of New Machinery:**
- **Date:** 1.1.2014
- **Entry:**
- **Debit:** New Machinery ₹70K (Net Purchase Cost)
- **Credit:** Bank/Cash ₹70K

### **4. Prepare the Plant & Machinery Account:**

#### **Plant & Machinery Account for the Year Ending 31.3.2014**

| Date | Particulars | Dr (₹) | Cr (₹) |
|------------|--------------------------|-----------|------------|
| 01.04.2013 | To Balance B/d | | 2.20L |
| 01.10.2013 | By Sale of Machinery | | 40K |
| 01.01.2014 | To New Machinery | 70K | |
| 31.03.2014 | By Balance C/d | | 3.30K |

**Balance c/d** = **Dr** Balance of Plant & Machinery for the next year.

### **5. Depreciation Calculation (if required):**

If you need to calculate depreciation, consider the following:
- **Depreciation on New Machinery** will be calculated based on its purchase cost from 1.1.2014.
- **Depreciation on Remaining Machinery** will be adjusted for the remaining book value.

### **Summary:**
- The loss on the sale of the machine and the cost of the new machinery should be recorded as per the transactions.
- The machinery account should reflect the purchases and sales accurately.
- Ensure the correct treatment of depreciation, if applicable, based on the new and existing machinery.
