| Date | Particulars | Amount | Date | Particulars | Amount |
| 1/1/19 | To Balance c/d 1 = 40,000 2 = 4,00,000 |
4,40,000 | 31/12/19 | By Depreciation A/c 1 =40,000x10%x 9/12 |
3,000 |
| 1/10/19 | To Bank A/c (3) | 3,00,000 | 31/12/19 | By I&E A/c (WN1) | 7,400 |
| 31/12/19 | By Bank A/c (WN1) | 29,600 | |||
| 31/3/20 | By Depreciation A/c 2 =4,00,000x10% 3 =3,00,000x10%x6/12 |
55,000 | |||
| 31/12/20 | By Balance c/d 2=4,00,000-40,000 3=3,00,000-15,000 |
6,45,000 | |||
| 7,40,000 | 7,40,000 |
Working Note:
1. Book Value as on 1/4/19 = 40,000
(-) Depreciation @10% = (3,000) [For 9 months]
Book Value as on 31/12/19 = 37,000
(-) Loss (20% x 37,000) = (5,400)
Sale = 29,600
2. Total depreciation on all 3 furniture = Rs.3,000 + Rs.55,000 = Rs.58,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.

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.

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.
