Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Loading = 25% of invoice price = 1/4th of I.P.= 1/3rd of cost = 1/3*1,20,000 = Rs.40,000 Thus amount debited = Rs.1, 60,000 Rs.40, 000 is the amount of loading.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Total direct cost of 250 bags = 2, 50,000 + 30,000 = Rs.2, 80,000             Less: Normal loss of 10 bags                = Nil Thus, net direct cost of remaining 240-192= 48 bags = 2, 80,000/240*48 = 56,000             Add loading 48*200 per bag           = 9,600, i.e. 65,600 If direct cost of bags is taken as 2, 50,000 only, then closing stock at cost will be Rs. 50, 000 and Rs. 59, 600 at an  invoice price.

  • Proportionate expenses of Vinay                 = Rs. 2, 500
  • Proportionate expenses of Madhav              = Rs. 2, 000             (18,000/3, 60,000)*40,000
  • Commission charged by Madhav                 = Rs. 2, 000 Total net cost debited = Rs. 46, 500 Amount credited = 20,000 + 10,000 = Rs. 30, 000 Net Loss debited to P and L Rs. 16, 500 If Madhav's expenses or commission is ignored then loss is Rs. 14, 500.

In such case, the bill is payable one day before i.e. 14th August. In case of a sudden holiday, the bill is payable on the next working day.

The amount retained by A is 4,800-960 = Rs. 3840
