Certainly! Let's address the adjustments as per the given information and then prepare the necessary accounts and the Balance Sheet of the new firm.

### Adjustments and Calculations:
1. Admission of Kiran:
- Kiran brings in ₹87,500 as capital and ₹33,600 as his share of goodwill.
- 3/5ths of the goodwill is withdrawn by the old partners immediately.
- Goodwill withdrawn: \( \frac{3}{5} \times 33600 = 20160 \)

2. Revaluation of Assets:
- Stock: Market value is ₹28,000.
- Plant and Machinery: Market value is ₹1,68,000.
- Land and Building: Increase by 15%
- New value = \( ₹200,000 + (15\% \times ₹200,000) = ₹200,000 + ₹30,000 = ₹230,000 \)
- Furniture: Increase by 20%
- New value = \( ₹50,000 + (20\% \times ₹50,000) = ₹50,000 + ₹10,000 = ₹60,000 \)

3. Adjustments on Debtors:
- Debtors: ₹40,000
- Bad Debts Reserve: 10% of ₹40,000 = ₹4,000
- Discount Reserve: 2% of (₹40,000 - ₹4,000) = ₹2% \times ₹36,000 = ₹720
- Net value of debtors: ₹40,000 - ₹4,000 - ₹720 = ₹35,280

4. Creditors Settlement:
- Creditors to the extent of ₹42,000 will be paid off.

5. Outstanding Wages:
- Outstanding wages amount to ₹644.
