Out of this he paid `4,00,000 for the purchase of garments and `50,000 for furniture and `50,000 for computer and the remaining amount was deposited into the bank. He sold some of the ladies and kids garments for `3,00,000 for cash and some garments for `1,50,000 on credit to Rajesh.

Answer:

(i) Initial Investment made by Gopal for starting the business of “Readymade Garments” is ` 8,00,000.

(ii) He bought two Fixed Assets i.e. Furniture and Computer of  `50,000 each.
Therefore,
Total Fixed Assets bought by him = Furniture + Computer
                                                       = 50,000 + 50,000
                                                       = ` 1,00,000

(iii) Value of the goods purchased by Gopal (Proprietor) = Purchase of Garments + Purchase of Men’s Garments
Value of the goods purchased by Gopal (Proprietor) = 4,00,000 + 2,00,000
Value of the goods purchased by Gopal (Proprietor) = ` 6,00,000

(vi) Satish is the creditor of business with ` 2,00,000.
