Short Answer Type Questions
Question 1.
Name any two types of commonly used negotiable instruments.
Answer:
In modern times a very large number of business transactions are made on credit basis. In case of credit sale of goods, the purchaser usually promises to make payment after a certain period. In such a case, the seller would like to get a written undertaking from the buyer to get the payment after a fixed period.
As such, the seller prepares a document in which he puts in writing all the terms and conditions relating to sale of goods such as amount required to be paid; date of payment; place of payment; and the like. The Buyer puts his signatures on the document and it is known as ‘Bill of Exchange’.
As such, the bills of exchange are instruments of credit which facilitate the credit sale of goods. In India, these are known as ‘Hundis’ which are written in Indian languages and have been in use from the time immemorial. In western countries, the names used for such instruments are ‘Bills of Exchange’ and ‘Promissory Notes’.
The same names are now being increasingly used in India too. All such instruments are governed by Indian Negotiable Instruments Act. 1881. Two commonly used negotiable instruments are Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes under Negotiable Instruments Act. 1881.

Briefly explain the effects of dishonour and noting of a bill of exchange.
Answer:
Dishonour means a situation when the acceptor of the bill refuses pay the amount or is otherwise unable to do so, say, because of insolvency. In such a case, the holder of the bill can recover the amount from any of the previous endorsers or the drawers. To establish the fact of a proper presentation and dishonour, the bill is generally got noted. The endorsement is made either on the bill or on a separate paper attached to the-bill called ‘allouge’. It is given to a person called notary public, appointed by government. The notary public will present the bill for payment; if payment is received it will be given to the holder; otherwise the fact of dishonour will be noted on the face to the bill. This act is called noting. There is a small charge for service of the notary public payable by the holder; it is called “Noting charges” and may be recovered from the party responsible for the dishonour. Noting will consist of the following –
- That the bill has been dishonoured, in fact;
- The date of the dishonour;
- The reason given, if any, for the dishonour; and
- The charges made by the notary public.
Entries on the Dishonour of a Bill – If the bill dishonoured, the party which gave the bill will be debited with the amount of the bill and noting charges, since it is now responsible. The back or the endorsee will claim payment and therefore their account will be credited.

Drawee’s A/c — Dr.
To Bill receivable A/c — [The amount of Bill]
To Cash A/c — [Noting charges]
(2) When the bill is discounted with the bank is dishonoured, the entry will be –
Drawee’s A/c — Dr. [The amount of the Bill
To Bank A/c and noting charges]
(3) When the bill is endorsed to the endorsee and is dishonoured, the entry will be –
Drawee’s A/c — Dr. [The amount of the bill
To Endorsee’s A/c and noting charges]
(4) When the bill is being sent to the bank for collection as is dishonoured –
Drawee of A/c — Dr.
To Bill sent for collection A/c [The amount of Bill]
To Bank A/c [Amount of noting charges]
Note – In all circumstance drawer’s (Acceptor’s) account will be debited to cancel the credit given to him at the time of acceptance of the bill.
Drawee’s Books – If the bill is dishonoured, the liability to the creditor concerned will be restored. In addition to the amount of the bill, noting charges, if paid for getting the bill noted, will also being payable to the creditors.

Bills Payable A/c — Dr. [The amount, of Bill]
Noting charges A/c — Dr. [Noting charges, if any]
To Creditor’s A/c [Amount of the bill + Noting charges]
(To whom the bill was sent originally)
It is important to note that if the drawee is declared insolvent on “ or before the due date, the bill is discussed to have been dishonoured and all entries for dishonour will have to be passed in the book of the concerned parties as given above.
Question 3.
Explain briefly the procedure of calculating the date of maturity of a bill of exchange. Give examples.
Answer:
The date on which the payment of the bill is due is called the date of maturity or due date. It is calculated by adding 3 days of grace to the date otherwise determined. It is a practice of adding 3 extra days to the period of the bill. These extra days are called days of grace.
Suppose a bill is drawn on the 8th March and is payable 3 months after date. The 3 months will end on 8th June; adding 3 days to the due date Le., 11th June. If the due date falls on a public holiday, the bill will be payable on the proceeding working day; a bill due on 2nd October will be payable on the 1 st October when the due date (last day of grace) is a bank holiday or Sunday and second day of grace is also holiday, the bill is payable on the next day (succeeding) business day. It may be noted that days of grace are not added in case of instruments payable on demand.
While calculating the maturity date of a bill, the following points must be kept in mind :
- Days of grace is not allowed w hen bill is payable ‘on demand’ or‘at sight’.
- When the period of bill is stated in days the calculation of the maturity date will be in days (which includes the date of payment but exclude the date of transaction)
- Example – A bill dated January 1, 2005 is payable 60 days after date. The maturity date of the bill will be March 5, 2005. (30 days of January + 28 days of February + 2 days of March + 3 days of Grace).
- When the period ofthe bill is stated in months, the calculation of maturity date will be in terms of calendar months, ignoring the no. of days in a month.
- Example – A bill dated January 1, 2005 is payable three months after date the maturity date of the bill will be April 4, 2005.
- If the maturity date falls on a day which is a‘Public holiday’ the maturity date shall be of the bill shall be proceeding business day.

Question 6.
Explain briefly the purpose and advantages of maintaining of a Bills Receivable Books.
Answer:
When large no. of bills are drawn and accepted, their recording by means of journal entry for every transaction relating to the bills became a very cumbersome and time consuming exercise. It is then advisable to record them separately in special subsidiary books. The bills receivables in the Bills Receivable Books and the bills payables in the Bills Payable Book. The reason for the use of subsidiary books for cash, purchases, sales.
An important point in connection with bill receivable and bills payable books is to record the transactions relating to drawing and acceptance of bills, all other transactions that they only do not record the entire range of transactions relating to the bills. ’
Example – Relating to bills discounting, endorsement, retirement, renewel etc. simply have a passing reference in these books and the entries relating thereto are recorded as usual in the journal. It may be noted that the entry relating to honouring of bills appear in cash book.
Bills Receivable Book – It has been designed as a summary of information regarding a duly accepted bill received by a drawer. All the details of the bill date, acceptor’s name, amount, term, place of payment etc. Ever entered in the bills receivable book for presentation and further reference.
The bill receivable book, like any other subsidiary book is totaled periodically. This total is debited to the “Bills Receivable Account” whereas the account of every individual debtor from whom the bills received is credited in the ledger. The bills receivable account is the account of an asset and would always have a debit balance, this balance on any date would represent the amount of bills receivable unassured and in heard.
Question 7.
Briefly explain the benefits of maintaining a Bills Payable Book and state how is its position done in the ledger.
Answer:
It is maintained like a Bills Receivable Book. It’s meant to record all the details relating to the bill accepted by a person or a party, which are retained for being use in the future, in case of need. The postings from this books are made to the debit of the account of every creditor to whom acceptance has been given and the periodical total of the books are credited to the bills payable account in the ledger.
The Bills Payable A/c representing as does the liability of the acceptor in respect of bills accepted by him, always has a credit balance, if any. The credit balance of this account on any particular date must be the same as the total amount worth of bills payable yet to be presented for payment as ascertained from the Bills Payable Book.
