1.1INTRODUCTION
The term ‘Single Entry’ refers to a method of maintaining the
accounts in a manner convenient to a business house. Single Entry
system does not follow the principles of double entry system. Under
this system businessman maintains / records only few accounts
which are absolutely essential. i.e. Personal accounts of debtors
and creditors under .ingle En try System .Real and Nominal
accounts are normally not maintained. The system of recording
transactions varies from person to person .E.g. Trader may recordmunotes.in

amount receivable from customers and when he receives money
he either cancels the amount or circle the amount indirectly where
he noted credit sale.
E.g.Goods sold to Anand on credit
Anand 5 Kgs Sugar Rs. 150
10 Kgs Rice Rs. 500
Total Rs. 650
On receipt of the cash from Anand ,the above records may
be cancelled ORtheoriginal amount recorded ma y be ci rcled as
amount is received Rs. 650.On Receipt of cash no other entry is
passed. For credit purchases he may maintain file or folder for
unpaid invoice / bill on payment of amount, he may remove the bill /
invoice or just cancels o npayment . In simp le words ,Single Entry
System is incomplete form of account keeping.
Eric Kohler has defined “ Single Entry System i s a system
of book keeping in which as a rule only records of cash and of
personal accounts are maintained. It is always incomplete
double entry. The incompleteness varying under different
circumstances”
1.2TYPES OF SINGLE ENTRY
1.Pure Single Entry
Under this method entries are made directly in personal accounts of
debtor and creditor because the subsidiary books are not
maintained at all. In this type the duel aspect of each transaction is
ignored, hence it is called Pare Single Entry System.
2.Quasi Single Entry / Impure Double Entry :
Under this system businessman maintains some of the subsidiary
books like cash book, sales book, purchase s book etc. in addition
to the personal accounts of Debtors and Creditors. But they do not
maintain real and nominal account.
1.3INCOMPLETE FORM OF DOUBLE ENTRY
1.3.1 Introduction:
A small businessman who carries business himself and he
may not be familiar with the system of double entry and the
complex accounting principles, concepts etc. Such businessman
maintains records ofthe transaction by way of note withoutmunotes.in
Page 4

following accounting principles. He may record only one aspect or
partial records of same transaction and the same way he may
ignore some transactions. For E.g.Depreciation of assets, loss of
uninsured stock of goods by fire. Goods/cash withdrawn from
business etc. such accounting is known as Single Entry .
1.3.2 Special Features:
Following are special features of incomplete records.
1]Some transactions are recorded properly by giving effect for
both the receipt and payments.
2]Some transactions are not recorded at all eg. Goods / cash
withdrawn from business for personal use.
3]Some transaction sare recorded partially either Debit or Credit
aspect is recorded.
4]Some personal transactions are recorded wrongly E .g.
Insurance Premium paid isrecorded as business expenses.
5]Single Entry System is defective and unscientific and their form
isunsuitable for big business. Only Sole Trader and
Partnership Organisations may keep their books of accounts
under this system.
6]Under Single Entry System only Personal and Cash accounts
are maintained. Real and Nominal accounts are no t
maintained.
7]The Single Entry System of accounting varies from person to
person, from business to business.
8]No rigid rules and principles are followed under this system and
therefore the records suffer from all types of errors.
1.3.3 Advantages :
Following are rel ative advantages of this System
1] Simplicity: It is very simple method of accounting business
transactions. Any person can record transactions which he feels
necessary, the way he wants to record.
2] Requires no expertise: Maintenanc e of accounting records
does not require adequate knowledge of Book Keeping.
3] Economical: It is less costly than double entry book keeping
method.
4] Suitable for small concerns: It is most suitable for small
concerns having limited transaction and few assets and liabilities. It
is suitable as owners are having full control in business as regards
cash ,goods etc.munotes.in
Page 5
4
5] Speed: The business transactions are recorded immediately /
simultaneously.
6] To ascertain the profit or loss: Determination of Profit or Loss
is much easier.
1.3.4 Disadvantages / Defects:
Incomplete records suffer from the following defects: -
1] It is not based on recognized accounting principles.
2] It does not record all transactions. Some transactions record only
one effect. Insome transactions both effects are recorded and
some transactions are not recorded at all. Therefore these
accounting records are not accepted by Tax Authorities .
3] Arithmetical accuracy of accounts cannot be checked as trial
balance cannot be prepared.
4] Final Account i.e. Tradi ng and Profit and Loss Account and
Balance Sheet cannot be prepared as all transactions are not
recorded. Hence Gross Profit ,Net Profit OR Loss cannot be
ascertained. Balance Sheet cannot be prepared as Real Accounts
and other accounts arenot maintained.
5] This system gives scope for misappropriations and frauds
relating to cash /goods etc.
6] In th eabsence of real accounts ,it becomes difficult to know the
exact financial position of the business and valuation of goodwill on
sale of the business.
7] This system of account is inaccurate, crude, defective and
unscientific and hence not recognized under various statues of
Government, Bank etc.

1.3.6 Ascertainment of Profit o rLoss under Single Entry
System .
When accounts are kept under Single Entry system, there are two
methods to ascertain Profit or Loss.
4.1Statement of Affairs Method [Not in Syllabus]
4.2 Conversion Method.
1.4CONVERSION METHOD
1.4.1Introduction:
In order to come over various limitations of Single Entry
System, it becomes necessary to prepare final account by
converting Single Entry into Double E ntry. So, it is possible forthe
trader to ascertain Gross Profits, Profit or Loss for the period, to
ascertain net worth of business .Conversion of single entry into
double entry involves the complete process of journalising, posting,
balancing, preparing Trial Balance and the Final accounts.
However, instead of preparing all ledger accounts this is done by
preparing control accounts. These control account sare to be
prepared within the scattered information which is equivalent tomunotes.in
Page 7

Trial Balance. If such information is inadequate or missing ,it should
be ascertain edfirst from various control accounts before p reparing
Final Accounts.
Thus ,conversion of single entry into double entry is nothing but
preparation of final accounts with or without trial balance.
1.4.2 Sources of information. Missing information can be
ascertain edfrom the following sources;
i] Cash book

3.CONSIGNMENT : The goods which are sent to be sold by the

4.COMMISION: The consignee sell s goods on behalf of the
consignor . The remuneration paid by the consignor for this
activity is commission. The consignee is supposed to sell the
goods at a fixed price, if he sells the goods at higher price then
he may be paid additional commission. This is known as
overriding commission. The consignee may sell goods for cash
or on credit terms. When goods are sold on credit there is a risk
of bad debts. This loss by bad debts is borne by the consignor.
Goods are sold on credit by the consignee. He knows t he local
market and the customers very well. The consignor, in such
case may allow additional commission to the consignee and
pass on the risk of bad debts to the consignee. This additional
commission is called as Del Credre C ommission. In such case ,
all the bad debts are to beborne by the consignee. Del Credre
Commission is calculated on total sales, unless otherwise
specified.
5.PROFORMA INVOICE :When goods are sent by the consignor,
he sends one document giving details of goods sent along with
it. This document is called as Proforma Invoice. Proforma
Invoice gives the particulars of goods sent as regards quantity,
weight, rate etc. Proforma Invoice may be prepared at cost price
or at a higher price, called as invoice price. When it is prepared
at invoice price ,the consignee does not know the profit made by
the consignor.munotes.in

5.1INTRODUCTION
A large business enterprise may have one main office and
one or more small offices maintained mainly for the purpos e of
increasing sales. Such small outlet is called as a branch. The main
office is called as Head Office.
Branch is an additional place of business opened mainly for
the convenience of customers.
The basic purpose of maintaining branch account sis to
evalu ate the performance of the branch and ascertain profit made
by the branch.
5.2TYPES OF BRANCHES
A)Dependent Branch
B)Independent Branchmunotes.in
Page 73
72
A)Dependent Branch: Head office sends goods to the branch,
either at cost or at a price higher than thecost, called as inv oice
price. The branch sells the goods on cash or credit basis and
remits all the cash received to the head office. The branch
expenses are paid by the branch itself or by the head office
depending upon the policy of the enterprise. This branch
depends upo n the head office for the purpose of maintaining
accounts. The branch does not maintain complete set of double
entry books of accounts. The branch maintains only necessary
records on memorandum basis and sends periodic reports to
the head office. It is the head office that does all the accounting
work.
B)Independent Branch: Thisbranch ,as the name suggests ,
does not depend upon head office. It does all the accounting
work by itself. It maintains complete set of double entry books of
accounts. At the end o f the year ,a trial balance is extracted
from the ledger. This trial balance is then sent to the head office
for finalization.
In case of Dependent Branch es,Head Office can maintain
accounts of the branch by adopting any one of the following two
methods :
1.Debtors System
2.Stock and Debtors System
5.3DEBTORS SYSTEM
In this type of system ,the head office opens one account in
its Ledger for every branch. The type of this account i spersonal
account.
The rule applicable is
“ Debit the Receiver and Credit t he Giver”
All transactions between branch and head office are
recorded in this account. All the transactions between branch and
third party are not recor ded by the head office. Here ,the branch is
treated as a debtor and hence ,only transactions between b ranch
and head office are recorded. Since actual owner of the branch is
head office itself, assets and liabilities of the branch are assets and
liabilities of head office, these are also recorded through branch
account.munotes.in
Page 74
73
Sometimes goods are sent to t he branch at a price higher
than the cost price. This price is called as Invoice Price. The profit
element added to the cost price is called as Loading. Branch
Manager is expected to sell th egoods at this price. In such case ,
we have to find out the loadi ngon all the transactions of goods
between branch and head office.
Chart showing calculation of loading:

100% on cost (1/1 of Cost) 50% on sales (1/2on sales)

5.4STOCK AND DEBTORS SYSTEM
Under this system ,head office maintains following accounts for
each branch :
1.Branch Stock Account :Type of this account isReal Account.
This account is always maintained at invoice price. This account
gives us stock at branch at any given time at invoice price .
Normally balancing figure in this account is closing stock. If
closing stock and all other relevant figures are already given
then this account should balance by itself. If it does not balancemunotes.in
Page 78
77
then balancing figure indi cates either shortage of stock or
surplus of stock. If debit side is heavy (i.e. Dr. balance) then it is
surplus of stock and if credit side is heavy (i.e. Cr. balance) then
it is shortage of stock. If the Dr. balance is more then it is
regarded as excess Gross Profit
2.Goods Sent to Branch Account :Type of this account is Real
account. Transactions of goods between Branch and Head
Office are recorded through account. This account gives us cost
of goods sent to the branch. Atthe end of the year ,this accoun t
shows credit balance and it is transferred to Trading A/c.
3.Branch Stock Adjustment Account :Type of this account is
Nominal account. Entries regarding loading are passed through
this account. This account gives us gross profit made by the
Branch at any given time. The gross profit as shown by this
account is transferred to Branch Profit and Loss Account.
4.Branch Profit and Loss Account :Type of this account is
Nominal Account. All the losses and expenses pertaining to the
Branc h are debited to this account and all the profits pertaining
to the branch are credited to this account .This account gives us
Net Profit or Net Loss made by the branch.
5.Branch Debtors Account: Type of this account is Personal
Account. Entries regarding Branch Debtors are recorded
through this Account .
6.Branch Cash Account : Type of this account is Real Account.
Transactions pertaining to branch cash are recorded through
this account. This account gives us cash position at
the br anch at any given time.
7.Branch Expenses Account :All the expenses of the Branch

this account is transferred to Branch Profit and Loss account.
If the branch expenses are directly debit ed to Branch Profit

7.0OBJECTIVES
After studying the unit t he students will be able:
To introduce the topic
To know about the term fire insurance claim
To understand the meaning of Average Clause
To make ready for calculating the claim amount
To illustrate the practical problems
7.1INTRODUCTION
Insurance contrac t is a contract of indemnity. Under this
contract, an insurance company indemnifies the insured for loss of
property due to the reasons like fire, flood, earthquake, etc. A
business organisation usually get itsproperty insured against the
risk of fire and other natural calamities. On the occurrence of fire or
accident, the business organisation has to estimate the loss and
lodge a claim with insurance company .
Losses due to fire are of two types:
Loss of assets and
Loss of profit
Loss of assets affects so badly on business activities which
ultimately affects profits of the business. Therefore the business
concerns take a fire insurance policy in respect of,
Loss of stock only,
Loss of profit only, OR
A comprehensive or Package Policy w hich cover s loss of all
the items i.e.stock, other assets, profit, expenses etc.munotes.in
Page 116
115
7.2REQUISITE OF INSURANCE
A fire at the place of business place destroys assets like
building, furniture and machinery. It also destroys records. It also
disturbs the normal funct ioning of the business. Therefore, the
prudent businessman usually chooses to take insurance policy in
order to cover the risk of loss due the occurrence of the fire. If
unfortunately , the fire broke out, the businessm an gets
compensation equal to the amou nt of loss sustained. In order to
receive compensation, the businessman has to lodge the claim with
the insurance company for loss of stock. In order to lodge the claim,
businessman has to find out the stock on the date of fire. In
absence of the proper re cord of the stock, it becomes challenging
to compute the amount of claim.
7.3PROCEDURE OF CLAIM FOR LOSS OF STOCK
I.If proper stock records are maintained orif records are not
destroyed by fire: -
In such a case calculation of claim will be as follow s:
A.Calculate the amount of stock lost by fire:
B.Calculation oftheamount of claim:
a)If there isno average clause then
Stock lost by fire = Amount of claim
b)If there is average clause then
Amount of claim = Policy Amount/ Stock on the Date of Fire × Stock
lost by fire
II.If proper stock records are not maintained or if records are
destroyed by fire: -
A.Calculation of the Percentage of Gross Profit:
Determine the Gross Profit to Sales ratio. In absence of any
information ,itisrequired to take the figure of pervious year for
determining the percentage of gross profit .If the information about
sale and gross profit is available ,it isessential to take average of
these figures.
Prepare a Trading Account in the usual manner. Following are
some of the items associated with preparation of Trading Account:Particulars Amounts
Stock on the date of fire xx
(-) Salvage xx
Stock lost by fire xx
munotes.in
Page 117
116
(i) Stock:
Stock contains stock o fraw materials, work in progress, finished
goods, etc. In absence of anyclear information, stock is considered
as stock of finished goods only. Such stock should be valued at
cost. If any other basis is given, convert it to cost.
(ii) Purchases less returns.
(iii) Wages.
(iv)Manufacturing expenses.
(v) Sales less returns.
(vi)Gross profit.
The rate of Gross profit is the key fordetermining the stock on
the date of fire. Therefore, there should be regularity in the gross
profit ratio.
B. Memorandum Trading Account
It is required to p repare Memorandum Trading Account up to
the date of fire by gathering figures in respect of opening stock,
purchases, direct expenses and s ales from the record. In case the
record is destroyed by fire, the information can be discovered from
the documentary evidence.
Theestimated value of stock on the date of fire is the balancing
figure on the credit side of the Memorandum Trading Account .
While preparing Memorandum Trading Account, following points
should be taken into consideration:
(i) Period:
This Account is prepared for the period from last date of accounts
to the date of fire which is given in the problem.
(ii) Opening Stock :
The op ening stock should be valued at cost.
In case of undervaluation of stock:
Cost of stock = (100 \100–Rate of Undervaluation) × Value of stock
In case of overvaluation of stock:
Cost of stock = (100 \100 + Rate of Overvaluation) × Value of stoc k
(iii) Purc hases:
Purchases should be taken into account for the period from
last date of accounts to the date of fire. Goods received but not
accounted should be added to purchases. If the amount ofmunotes.in
Page 118
117
purchases is not given, it can be calculated by preparing Credit ors
Account.
If purchases are not given ,it should be decided by preparing
creditors A/c as follows.

(iv) Sales:
Sales should be taken into account for the period from last
date of accounts to the date of fire. Goods included in the above
sales but not delivered should be deducted from sales.
Misappropriated cash sales and goods delivered but not recorded
should be added to sales.
If sales are not given ,it should be ascertained by preparing
Debtors A/c as follows:

(v)Wages:
Wages for the period from the last accounts to the date of
fire should be debited to Memorandum Trading Account.
Amount of wages should be calculated as follows:
(vi) Manufacturing Expenses:
Manufacturing expenses or factory expenses for the period from
last date of accounts to the date of fire should also be c onsidered.
(vii) Gross Profit and Gross Profit Ratio:
Gross profit ratio should be at a certain percentage on cost or on
sales. Consistent gross profit ratio over the past years is essential
to find out stock on the date of fire. Gross profit ratio shoul d be
adjusted under the following circumstances:
(a)Different gross profit ratios in past years should be averaged out.
(b) Change in material prices.
(c) Change in expenses ratio.
(d) Change in sales price.
(e) Different gross profit ratios for different goods.
The ratio of Gross Profit for the purpose of claim should be at
normal rate.
(i) If information about the Gross Profit Ratio of the immediately
preceding year is given, then the Gross Profit Ratio of the previous
year should be taken as a normal r ate of Gross Profit.
(ii) If the rate of Gross Profit of previous years has been falling from
year to year consistently then it is not proper to consider the
average rate of gross profit of previous years as normal rate of
gross profit. In such a situatio n, make an estimate of the rate of
gross profit that is likely to prevail in the current year and consider
that rate as t he normal rate of gross profit , e.g., gross profit rates
for three years have been 25%, 2 0% and 15%. In this case,
average will be 2 0%, Instead of taking average reasonable gross
profit rate likely to prevail will be 1 0%.The abo ve procedure should
be followed, i n case ofcontinuous rise in the rate of gross profit.Particulars Amounts

(viii) Abnormal Goods:
Goods which are slow moving or which are damaged are called
as abnormal goods. Valuation of such goods may be at cost or at a
lower value as given. It becomes necessary to adjust purchases,
sales and stock on account of abnormal goods.
Abnormal items are treated as follows:
1. If abnormal items are inc luded in closing stock:
(a) Deduct value of abnormal items from closing stock.
(b) Deduct cost of abnormal items from purchases.
(c) Deduct sale of abnormal items from sales.
2. If abnormal items are included in opening stock:
(a) Deduct value of abnormal items from opening stock.
(b) Deduct sale of abnormal items from sales.
(c) Deduct value of abnormal items ,if any, from closing stock.
3. If abnormal items are written off to some extent from closing
stock:
(a) Deduct the value of remaining items from c losing stock.
(b) Deduct cost of abnormal items from purchases.
(c) Deduct sale of abnormal items from sales.
(ix) Stock:
Balancing figure in Memorandum Trading Account after adjustment
of gross profit is the stock of normal goods. Then ,it should be
adjusted for :-
(i)Goods with consignee or third party and
(ii)Salvage, i. e. realisable value of scrap or partly damaged goods.
The adjusted stock is the amount of loss suffered.

C. Loss of Stock
Deduct the amount of salvage from the value of stock on the
date of fire to get the value of loss of stock.
Loss of Stock = Stock on the Date o f Fire –Salvage.
D. Average Clause
The insurance policy is taken for compensating probable
loss in the future and not to earn profit. Therefore, a fire insurance
policy generally includes an average clause in order to discourage
under insurance of stock . As per this clause, the insurance
company pays compensation to the insured proportionately if the
value of stock or asset on the date of fire is more than the amount
of insurance policy.
Formula applied in case of an Average Clause:
Claim = (Value of po licy / Value of stock on the date of fire) × Value
of stock destroyed by fire
For example :-suppose stock of Rs.2,00,000 may be insured say
for Rs.1,50,000. So if fire occurs and the actual loss is
Rs.1,30,000 the insured can recover the amount of loss if there is
no ‘average clause’ in the policy.
To discourage such tendency of under -insurance and
prevent the misuse of insurance there is an ‘Average Clause’
included in the policy. The effect of this clause is that the ins ured
does not get the full amount of loss, even though the policy amount
is more than the loss. The insured gets only proportionate amount
of loss. The base of this principle is that in case of under -insurance
the owner of the property himself acts as an i nsurer to the extent
the property has not been insured with the insurance company. In
the above example insured is self -responsible for the amount of the
stock
Rs.50,000 (Rs.2,00,000 –Rs.1,50,000) as he has under -
insured the stock. The formula for calcu lating the amount of claim if
there is Average Clause:
Amount of claim = Sum Insured (amount of claim) X Actual loss
Total stock on the date of fire
= 1,50,000 / 2,00,000 X 1,30,000
=Rs.97,500munotes.in

7.4STEPS FOR CALCULATING THE CLAIM
1. Prepare the Trading A/c for the previous accounting years &
calculat ethe gross profit.
2. Calculate the Gross Profit Ratios for the previous accounting
years & choice aGross Profit Ratio for the Memorandum Trading
Account.
3. In order to ascertain the closing stock (i.e.) stock on hand as on
the date of fire ,prepare a Memorandum Trading A/c. This A/c is
from the commencement of the accounting year to the date of fire.
4. Record everything that is applicable in the Memoran dum Trading
A/c.
5. Calculate the gross profit as a percentage of sales on the basis
ofGross Profit Ratio in step 2.
6. The Memorandum Trading A/c s hould be balanced. The
balancing figure would represent closing stock.
7. Statement of claim
Closing Stock xx
(-) Salvage (xx)
Amount of Loss or claim xx
8. Average C lause:
If closing stock is greater than the amount of policy .
Claim = (Value of policy / Value of stock on the date of fire) × Value
of stock destroyed by fire
Adjustments:
1. The Stock should always be valued at cost. If there is any
under valuation or overvaluation then the stock should be brought
back to cost.
2. Purchases & Sales should include only purchases & sales of
goods. Purchases & sales of assets should be excluded from the
purchases & sales.
3. Unrecorded purchases and sales if any should be recorded.
4. Purchases should include those goods which have been actually
received before the date of fire. Whether the invoice is received or
not is not material, similarly ,sales should include only those goods
which have been dispatched before the date of fire.munotes.in
Page 123
122
5. Salvage should be valued either at cost or market value
whichever is less.
6. The insurance company would compensate the insured to the full
extent of firefighting expenses.

Illustration No. 1
Ascertain purchases when cost of goods sold is Rs.1,00,000.
Opening stock : Rs.10,000.
Closing stock : Rs. 2 5,000 .
Solution:
Cost of goods sold = Opening Stock + Purchases –Closing Stock
1,00,000 = 10,000 + Purchases –25,000
1,00,000 –10,000 + 25,000 = Purchases
Purchases = Rs.1,15,000
