To prepare the final accounts for M/s Mangal and Sons for the year ended 31st March, 2022, you will need to create a Trading and Profit & Loss Account, and a Balance Sheet.
1. Trading Account:
The Trading Account is prepared to find out the Gross Profit or Loss of the business.

Sales: ₹70,000

Less: Returns Inward (Sales Return): ₹1,300

Net Sales: ₹70,000 - ₹1,300 = ₹68,700


Opening Stock: ₹12,500

Add: Purchases: ₹37,500

Less: Returns Outward (Purchase Return): ₹500

Net Purchases: ₹37,500 - ₹500 = ₹37,000


Add: Carriage: ₹1,450

Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale: ₹12,500 + ₹37,000 + ₹1,450 = ₹50,950

Less: Closing Stock: ₹15,000

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): ₹50,950 - ₹15,000 = ₹35,950

Gross Profit: Net Sales - COGS = ₹68,700 - ₹35,950 = ₹32,750


2. Profit & Loss Account:

Less: Expenses:

Salaries: ₹3,850
Insurance: ₹200

Interest: ₹900
Printing: ₹250
Rent and taxes: ₹1,300


Total Expenses: ₹3,850 + ₹200 + ₹750 + ₹900 + ₹250 + ₹1,300 = ₹7,250

Net Profit: Gross Profit - Total Expenses = ₹32,750 - ₹7,250 = ₹25,500


3. Balance Sheet as of 31st March, 2022:
Assets:

Current Assets:

Closing Stock: ₹15,000
Debtors: ₹32,500
Bills Receivable: ₹2,000

Liabilities:

Current Liabilities:

Creditors: ₹20,000
Bills Payable: ₹3,150


Capital: ₹7,100 + Net Profit ₹25,500 = ₹32,600

Total Liabilities and Capital: ₹20,000 + ₹3,150 + ₹32,600 = ₹55,750
