1) 2) 3)

Primage = 80000 + 10% = 8000 Address Commission = 5% on freight + Primage = 5% on 88000 = 4400 Adv Ad van ance ce fr frei eigh ghtt on on inc incom ompl ple ete vo voy yag age e= Freight: 30000 Primage: 10% on 30000 = 33000

4)

Advance Expenses on Incomplete Voy Voyage age = Address commission = 5% on 33000 = 1650 Insurance Advance premium of freight= 4000 X advance only freight / total freight = 4000 X 30000/80000 = 1500

because half travelling is completed and half is incomplete. So, it means 1/2 of all other expenses are advance

•

½ on Other Expenses: coal consumed + store consumed + port charges+ salaries + depreciation + insurance of ship 1/2 X (14000 + 6000+3000+8000+8000+10000) = 24500 ----------------------------------------------------------------Total Advance Expenses = RS. 27650 ===========================================
