Correct Answer

(D) Rs. 1,380

Explanation

Solution: To find the amount shown in the income and expenditure account for the year ending 31st December 2002, we need to calculate the total expenditure on stationary during the year. This can be done by adding the opening stock to the amount paid for stationary during the year and then subtracting the closing stock. So, the calculation would be: Opening stock + Payment during the year - Closing stock = Rs. 300 + Rs. 1,080 - Rs. 50 = Rs. 1,330 Therefore, the correct amount shown in the income and expenditure account for the year ending 31st December 2002 is Rs. 1,330.
