To tackle this question, we'll be preparing two financial statements for Nissan Company Limited based on the provided ledger balances as of 31 Ashadh 2082. We will create a Statement of Profit or Loss for the year 2082/83 and a Statement of Financial Position as of 31 Ashadh 2082.
(a) Statement of Profit or Loss for the Year 2082/83
The Statement of Profit or Loss shows the company's revenues and expenses over a specific period, leading to the profit or loss for that period.
Revenues

Revenue from Operations: Rs. 2,000,000
Other Revenue: Rs. 150,000

Total Revenue = Rs. 2,000,000 + Rs. 150,000 = Rs. 2,150,000
Expenses

Cost of Sales: Rs. 800,000
Finance Cost: Rs. 100,000
Distribution Expenses: Rs. 200,000
Administrative Expenses: Rs. 150,000

Total Expenses = Rs. 800,000 + Rs. 100,000 + Rs. 200,000 + Rs. 150,000 = Rs. 1,250,000
Profit Before Tax

Profit Before Tax = Total Revenue - Total Expenses = Rs. 2,150,000 - Rs. 1,250,000 = Rs. 900,000

Income Tax Expense
(25% of Profit Before Tax)

Income Tax = 25% of Rs. 900,000 = Rs. 225,000

Net Profit

Net Profit = Profit Before Tax - Income Tax = Rs. 900,000 - Rs. 225,000 = Rs. 675,000

(b) Statement of Financial Position as on 31 Ashadh 2082
The Statement of Financial Position, also known as the Balance Sheet, shows the company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time.
Assets

Plant, Property and Equipment: Rs. 1,800,000
Investment Property: Rs. 600,000
Trade Receivable: Rs. 200,000
Inventories: Rs. 150,000
Cash and Cash Equivalent: Rs. 800,000

Total Assets = Rs. 1,800,000 + Rs. 600,000 + Rs. 200,000 + Rs. 150,000 + Rs. 800,000 = Rs. 3,550,000
Liabilities

Loan and Borrowings: Rs. 800,000
Trade and Other Payable: Rs. 350,000

Total Liabilities = Rs. 800,000 + Rs. 350,000 = Rs. 1,150,000
Equity

Shareholders' Equity: Rs. 1,500,000

Non-Controlling Interest

Non-Controlling Interest (30%): 30% of Rs. 1,500,000 = Rs. 450,000

Total Equity

Total Equity = Shareholders' Equity + Non-Controlling Interest = Rs. 1,500,000 + Rs. 450,000

Total Equity = Rs. 1,950,000
The balance of Assets = Liabilities + Equity , ensuring the accounting equation holds true:
Assets: Rs. 3,550,000 = Liabilities (Rs. 1,150,000) + Equity (Rs. 1,950,000)
Therefore, both the Statement of Profit or Loss and Statement of Financial Position are prepared as required.
