CASE 1.1
MEHTA AUTOMOBILES
SUMMARY
HISTORY OF MEHTA AUTOMOBILESMr Mehta is a mechanic. Due to his excellent work, professional ability, pleasing manners and sense of responsibility, he was soon promoted to the post of a chief mechanic. Because of his abilities, his friends and relatives advised him to start his own automobile repairs shop. Therefore, after consulting with his family he accepted the offers of his friends Mr Nitin and Mr Mohan Kapoor, who offered to give a rental office in a busy street of Ahmedabad and a loan of 1,00,000 respectively to start his business.
CURRENT POSITIONMr Mehta’s business is well settled small-scale business. He has hired four more assistants in addition to earlier two and also two mechanics and a part-time salesman. He has a small office with necessary furniture, and he stores his goods at his home, which he uses as his small godown. He has also started a small spare parts selling section. He is also assisted by his son Mr Rajendra Mehta for the regular day-to-day activities.
NEW VENTUREDuring his day-to-day activities, Mr Mehta came across an advertisement in a local newspaper, which was about a company, who was in search of a well-known automobile service shop owner, for a sole selling agency of their cars and spare parts in Gujarat. Mr Mehta found this proposal profitable and thus applied for the same.
CONDITIONS OF CONTRACTThe company specified two conditions which every applying firm in order to get the contract had to fulfil. The conditions are as under:
(a) Every firm had to obtain from its bank, a certificate to the effect that a minimum balance of 5,00,000 was maintained in business account.
(b) Every firm had to submit a complete current financial position of the business and the results of immediate past period.
THE PROBLEMMr Mehta found the problem, which was to comply with the above, two conditions. The following were the difficulties, which Mr Mehta had to face in order to get the problem.
As Mr Mehta did not have any knowledge about how to prepare his financial accounts, he had not prepared any regular accounts.
His used to run his business in such a manner that each cash received was deposited in bank and was withdrawn at the time of payment, and as his business was not of a very large scale he was not able to maintain a minimum balance of Rs 5,00,000 in his business account.
Thus due to the above problems, he was not able to satisfy the two conditions laid down by the company.
1
THE SOLUTIONIn order to get the contract, Mr Mehta must fulfil the above two conditions so for that he has to do the following things.
(a) Learn the basic things of recording of day-to-day transactions.(b) Collect necessary data for the preparation of last year’s financial statements.(c) Maintain a daily book to record all the day-to-day transactions of the business.(d) Appoint an accountant, who will prepare all the accounts and financial
statements from this daily book.
QUESTIONS AND ITS ANSWERS
1. Mr Mehta mentioned that(a) He could not have systematic accounting records because he did not possess
specialized accounting skill; and(b) Keeping such records would increase in costs, which he could not afford. How
would you respond to these comments?Solution:
(a) Here, as Mr Mehta’s business is not very vast, recording of day-to-day transactions does not require any specialised knowledge so he could just learn the basic fundamentals of accounting and start recording the day-to-day transactions in a daily book. This daily book can be recorded systematically by appointing an accountant (Mr Lal).
(b) In short term, recording of proper accounts will cost a bit to Mr Mehta but it will be equalized by the long-term benefits by maintaining proper books of accounts. In addition, appointing an accountant (Mr Lal) for such limited size firm would not cost very much as he will not have to be paid a very high amount for his services rendered.
2. What information would Mr Lal require for preparing the financial statements?Solution: Mr Mehta would require three types of information for preparing the financial statements, which are as under.
(a) Information related to Trading Account(i) Purchases and sales of goods
(ii) Direct expenses(iii) Closing stock of goods
(b) Information related to Profit & Loss A/c.(i) Daily revenue expenses of the firm

4. What records would Mr Mehta require to maintain, for controlling his business activities?Solution. Mr Mehta would be required to maintain the following records, for controlling his business activities.
(1) Trading Account(a) It tells us what are the net purchase and net sales of the company.(b) It also specifies the direct expenditure, incurred by the company.(c) Information regarding trading account is helpful during time of calculating
the gross profit of the company.(d) Other benefits.
3
(2) Profit and Loss Account(a) It specifies the various expenses made by the company.(b) It also specifies the various incomes earned by the company.(c) This account helps us to find out the net profit of the company.
(3) Balance Sheet(a) It tells the current financial position of the company.(b) It tells the total assets of the company.(c) It also tells about the total liabilities of the company.
Note: A detailed explanation of above statement has been mention in Question 3.
CONCLUSIONThus from the above case, we can conclude that the problem mentions in the case is one of the common problems which every unit faces if it does not prepare and maintain necessary accounts.
Mr Mehta is one of the persons who are suffering from various problems, which are mentioned in this case, and there are many other problems, which may occur due to non-maintenance of accounts.
Thus in order to keep away such problems, every firm big or small should always maintain its accounts in a systematic way.

SUMMARYIn the year 1946 three partners, Mr Bevan, Mr & Mrs Maywoods, started business contributing $2000 each. They also hire some amount of loan. The cafe was on the highway and frequently visited by truck drivers and voyagers. All of the partners have divided their duty by the mutual understanding.
Due to the friendly relationship between one of the partners, namely, Mrs Maywoods with a customer Fred Mead, she finally she run away with him. Mr Maywoods searched her a lot. After this event occurred, Mrs. Bevan decided to dissolve this partnership. Thus they started their business on 12th April 1946 and dissolve on 16th December 1946. The dissolution of business resulted into loss and all the partners equally shared it.
As the professional approach was a lacking factor for this partnership, finally it had to be broken up and bear a loss. After briefly analysing the case, we can say that the proper planning was not present in this partnership and they did have the scarcity of funds from the beginning.
