Income and Expenditure Account (I&E) is similar to the Profit and Loss Account in the sense that while the former is prepared to ascertain surplus or deficit during an accounting period, the latter is prepared to ascertain net profit or net loss incurred during an accounting period. I&E Account is a nominal account and is prepared on the accrual basis. It records all transactions of revenue nature that are related to the current accounting period (whether outstanding or prepaid) for which the books are maintained. All expenses and losses are recorded on the debit side (Expenditure side) and all income and gains are recorded on the credit side (Income side) of I&E Account. The closing balance or the balancing figure of I&E Account is termed as surplus (or deficit), if the sum total of the Income side exceeds (is lesser than) the sum total of the Expenditure side.

New Ratio between A and B is 8:7
4.
Old ratio of R, S and M= 2 : 2 :1
M's share of profit = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
which is to be taken by Rand S in the ratio of 1 : 2
\(\text { R takes }=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{15} \text { Share }\)
\(\text { S takes }=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{15} \text { Share }\)
Therefore, the new share will be
\(\mathrm{R}=\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{6+1}{15}=\frac{7}{15}\)
\(S=\frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{15}=\frac{6+2}{15}=\frac{8}{15}\)
New ratio of Rand S will be 7 : 8
Gaining ratio of R and S = 1: 2
