Class 11 Accountancy - PUNJAB
Financial Statements - II
Financial Statements - II (usually covering Financial Statements with Adjustments) for Class 11 Punjab (PSEB) builds directly upon the preparation of basic Trading, Profit and Loss Account, and Balance Sheet. In business, several transactions remain unrecorded or outstanding at the end of the accounting year. This chapter teaches students how to incorporate important adjustments like closing stock, outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, accrued income, depreciation, and provision for bad debts into the final accounts. Mastering these adjustments is crucial for scoring high in PSEB board exams, as full-length practical problems with 4 to 6 adjustments frequently appear in the final question paper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we record adjustments outside the Trial Balance at two places?
Because of the Dual Aspect Principle of accounting. Every adjustment must affect both the income statement (Trading or P&L A/c) and the position statement (Balance Sheet) to maintain the accounting equation.
What is the difference in treatment if Closing Stock is given inside the Trial Balance versus outside?
If Closing Stock is inside the Trial Balance, it means the purchase account is already adjusted, so it is shown ONLY on the asset side of the Balance Sheet. If it is outside, it is recorded in both Trading Account (credit side) and Balance Sheet (asset side).
How do we calculate Net Profit after all adjustments?
Net Profit is calculated by taking the Gross Profit, adding all indirect incomes, and subtracting all operating expenses, depreciation, provisions, and losses adjusted for the current year.
