Accounting

Divya failed the accounting in school and ran away from home. She started working as a building assistant earning between INR 10,000 and INR 15,000 a month. The job was uninteresting and strenuous. Soon she learnt driving and joined a leading car fleet on revenue sharing terms. Her monthly earnings averaged INR 20,000.

On April 1, 20XX, she started Point Cabs, her own taxi business. She took a bank loan of INR 500,000 and invested her savings of INR 100,000 to buy a car costing INR 600,000. In addition, she invested INR 18,000 for meeting day-to-day cash needs. All cash receipts and payments were through her bank account.

She was lazy in maintaining a detailed accounting record and scribbled her activities in a rough notebook. The following are the entries for April.
