hi guys we have already seen the
[7]
introduction of this topic fire
[9]
insurance claim and in this video I'm
[12]
going to solve some problems on fire
[14]
insurance claim this is the first
[17]
problem and it's a simple problem okay
[19]
in this question here it is said that
[21]
fire occurred in the business premises
[24]
of a Trader on 1/7/2013 and entire
[27]
stock was destroyed entire stock was
[31]
destroyed ok however the books and
[34]
records less saved and the following
[36]
information was obtained they have given
[39]
us stock this is the opening stock and
[41]
this is the closing stock 35 and 40
[44]
thousand and they are also given on the
[45]
purchases for the year ending 31/12/ 2012
[50]
ok so this purchase is of from previous
[54]
year and this sales is also from figures
[57]
here and so all these four you will
[61]
take with in trading account ok and
[64]
these two we will take this in the
[68]
memorandum trading account because this
[72]
is from the current year that is till
[74]
the date of fire 3/6/2013 30/6/ 2013 so we
[79]
will take this too in the memorandum
[81]
trading account okay now first we
[84]
prepare the trading account then we'll
[86]
prepare the memorandum trading account
[87]
then we'll prepare the statement of fire
[89]
claims to find out how much stock was
[92]
destroyed in fire and was will be the
[94]
final amount of claim that has to be
[97]
compensated by the insurance company so
[102]
we need to prepare for trading account
[105]
Trading
[108]
account first we will write to opening stock
[116]
to opening stock in the question it is
[120]
given 35,000
[125]
we will take the purchases here on the
[130]
debit side of trading account to
[131]
purchases and the amount is purchases
[135]
for the year ending 31/12/ 2012 that is
[140]
80,000 okay 80,000 okay now we will take
[146]
sales by sales always sales will come on
[149]
the credit side of trading account okay
[152]
and the purchase is on debit side so
[154]
sales for year 2012 is one 1 lakh
[161]
that by closing stock closing stock will
[167]
come on the credit side of trading
[170]
account that is for the year ended 2012
[173]
and that is 40,000 okay all four of
[179]
these are given in the question okay
[181]
credit site is bigger which will be
[184]
140,000 140,000 and
[190]
i am balancing now we will find gross profit
[195]
over here gross profit 140,000
[200]
minus 35 minus 80 there is 25,000
[205]
okay all right we have found the gross profit
[210]
now after finding the Gross profit
[214]
we need to find GP rate now you will say
[219]
what is GP rate? GP rate is GP that is
[223]
gross profit divided by sales into 100
[228]
why we need to find GP rate
[231]
we need to find gp rate to find the gross
[234]
profit in the memorandum trading account
[237]
ok so we will find the GP rate 25,000 divided by
[246]
100,000 that is the sales into 100 that
[253]
gives us 25 percentage ok now also
[257]
after creating trading account
[259]
finding the gross profit than finding
[261]
the GP rate we will open memorandum
[265]
trading account ok and this account is
[269]
prepared to find closing stock on the
[272]
date of fire remember on the date of
[275]
fire ok so to find closing stock we
[279]
already need gross profit that we will find
[282]
by GP rate ok so first we'll take
[287]
to opening stock in the question there is
[289]
no such opening stock so we will take
[292]
this closing stock as the opening stock
[296]
here ok so that is 40,000 ok then there
[302]
is purchases it's given in the question
[305]
purchases till the date of fire and that
[308]
is 37,000
[309]
purchases always debit then
[311]
this sales by sales always credit it's
[316]
also given in the question sales till
[318]
the date of fire and that is 60,000 ok
[322]
ok then there is gross profit now how will
[328]
we find gross profit? gross profit that
[331]
is 25% GP rate for
[335]
twenty-five percent twenty-five percent
[340]
of sales 60,000
[348]
into 25 by 100 okay so that gives us
[355]
fifteen thousand easy right okay then
[361]
this size has to be bigger okay this
[365]
side is 92,000 92,000 then we will
[370]
balance and find closing stock by
[375]
closing stock and this closing is
[378]
till the date of fire so now
[382]
closing stock is a balancing figure
[384]
balancing figure and 92,000 minus 60,000
[390]
that is 32,000
[393]
okay so easy right okay so now let's
[399]
prepare the statement of fire claim okay
[407]
so first we'll write here closing stock
[410]
the closing stock on the date of
[416]
fire this closing stock we found in the
[421]
memorandum trading account okay so the
[426]
amount would be 32,000 closing stock on the
[430]
date of fire and the day also we must
[432]
write that is 3/6/2013 as given in the
[438]
question then we will subtract the value
[441]
of stock salvaged this is a way to find
[450]
the amount of claim so what does the
[452]
salvage mean salvage is nothing but the
[456]
amount of stock that was saved from the
[458]
fire okay it's a simple term okay then
[462]
we will find the amount of claim
[467]
amount of okay okay so 32,000 minus
[473]
value of stock salvage there's no such
[476]
amount given in the question so we'll
[478]
just put the dash and we'll take it as a
[480]
NIL and 32,000 minus 0
[483]
is 32,000 okay the amount of claim is 32,000
[488]
what does this mean?
[490]
it means that on this day there was 32,000
[493]
worth of stock in the business premises
[496]
and all of it was burned okay so the
[500]
amount should be 30,000 equal to the
[503]
loss incurred okay
[509]
okay at first we prepared the trading
[511]
account okay the opening stock purchases
[514]
by sales closing stock all these four
[516]
were given in the question okay and as
[519]
a balancing figure we found out the
[521]
gross profit that was 25,000 and this
[524]
25,000 and the Sales 100,000 we applied
[527]
to this formula to find out the GP rate
[530]
GP by sales into 100 and we got 25%
[533]
okay okay next we prepared the
[536]
memorandum trading account we prepare
[538]
this account to find closing stock the
[541]
opening stock we got it from the trading
[543]
accounts closing stock okay and
[545]
purchases and sales were given in the
[547]
question now gross profit we needed the
[549]
gross profit to find the closing stock
[551]
so gross profit we took 25%
[553]
percentage of sales this sales okay so
[556]
25% is the GP rate
[558]
we found out after the trading account and
[560]
we found out the closing stock till the
[564]
date of fire 32,000 after preparing the
[569]
memorandum trading account we prepared
[571]
statement of fire claim and first wrote
[573]
the closing stock which we found out in
[575]
the memorandum trading account then we
[577]
subtract it from the value of stock
[579]
salvaged it was 0 so 32,000
[581]
minus zero is 32,000 so the amount of
[583]
claim is 32,000 okay easy right all right
