Answer 1

$\text{Statement of Profit}\text{for the year ending 31st December, 2016}\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Particulars}& & \text{Amt. (Rs.)}\\ \text{Closing Capital as on 31st December, 2016}& & 1,87,000\\ \text{(+) Drawings During the Year}& & \\ \text{(i) Loan to his Brother}& 35,000& \\ \text{(ii) Personal Expenses}& & \\ \text{(a) Drawings @ Rs. 3,000 per month}(3,000\times 12)& 36,000& \\ \text{(b) Rent @ Rs. 1,000 per month}(1,000\times 12)& 12,000& \\ \text{(c) Electricity charges @ Rs. 100 per month}(3,000\times 12)& \underset{–}{1,200}& 84,200\\ & & \overline{2,71,200}\\ \text{(-) Further capital introduced during the year (Sale of Bonds)}& & 20,400\\ \text{Adjusted Capital at the End}& & \overline{2,50,800}\\ \text{(-) Opening Capital on 1 January, 2016}& & \underset{–}{1,92,000}\\ \text{Profit for the Year}& & \underset{–}{\underset{–}{58,800}}\end{array}$

Selling the bonds of Rs. 20,000 at $2\%$ premium means the selling of bonds at a profit of $2\%$.
As such, the selling price will be $=20,000\times \frac{102}{100}=Rs.20,400$.
