Answer :
To address the question, let's start by preparing the Contract Account for Shirkashi Construction Company Limited.
1. Contract Account for the year ending 31/12/2023:
[tex]\begin{align*}
\text{Particulars} & \text{Rs} & \ \ \ \text{Particulars} & \text{Rs} \\
\hline
\text{To Materials} & 60,000 & \ \ \ \text{By Materials at Site} & 11,000 \\
\text{To Wages} & 75,000 & \ \ \ \text{To Closing Stock (Certified)} & 240,000 \\
\text{To Other Expenses} & 25,000 & \ \ \ \text{By Material Returned} & 5,000 \\
\text{To Supervisor's Salary} & 60,000 & \ \ \ \text{By Plant Destroyed} & 5,000 \\
\text{To Plant} & 35,000 & \ \ \ \text{By Plant Depreciation (20\% of 40,000)} & 8,000 \\
\text{To Cost of Work Done but Not Certified} & 19,000 & \ \ \ \text{To Contractee's A/C} & 192,000 \\
\hline
\text{Total} & 274,000 & \ \ \ \text{Total} & 269,000 \\
\end{align*}[/tex]
Notes for Contract Account:
- Depreciation on Plant is calculated at 20% of Rs 40,000, which is Rs 8,000.
- Only 80% of the certified work's value is paid by the contractee. Therefore, certified work is [tex]\frac{240,000}{0.8} = 300,000[/tex].
2. Balance Sheet as of 31/12/2023:
Assets:
- Current Assets:
- Cash at Bank: Rs 60,000
- Materials at Site: Rs 11,000
- Non-Current Assets:

Liabilities:
- Share Capital: Rs 80,000
- Contractee's A/C: Rs 240,000 (from the work paid)
- Outstanding Wages: Not specified but usually part of the liabilities if any exist

The remaining balances would normally be adjusted for profits and outstanding expenses.
In conclusion, the contract account shows the expenses incurred and the revenue recognized, while the balance sheet reflects the company's financial position.
