Now, let's calculate the closing balance for both cash and bank.
#### Cash Account Balances:
- Opening Balance (Dec 1): Rs 22,500
- Add: Deposited in Bank (contra, deducted from cash): (Rs 5,000)
- Add: Cash received for sale of Goods (Dec 13): Rs 12,000
- Less: Purchased Goods for Cash (Dec 2): Rs 44,000
- Less: Withdrew cash for Personal Use (Dec 30): Rs 1,000
[tex]\[
Closing \, Cash \, Balance = (22,500 - 44,000 + 12,000 - 5,000 - 1,000) = (34,500) \, (Negative \, balance)
\][/tex]
#### Bank Account Balances:
- Opening Balance (Dec 1): Rs 10,000
- Add: Deposited in Bank (contra): Rs 5,000
- Add: Received Cheque from Joseph (Dec 18): Rs 3,000
- Add: Joseph's cheque deposited into Bank: Rs 3,000
- Less: Paid Insurance by Cheque (Dec 5): Rs 2,000
[tex]\[
Closing \, Bank \, Balance = (10,000 + 5,000 + 3,000 + 3,000 - 2,000) = 19,000
\][/tex]
### Summary:
- Closing Cash Balance: -[tex]$34,500 (Overdraft)
- Closing Bank Balance: Rs. $[/tex]19,000.
This concludes the preparation of the double column cashbook for the given transactions.
