Detailed Solution & Explanation

To find the total estimated current liabilities, we identify and calculate all credit periods and outstanding cash payments:

**1. Creditors for Raw Material:**
The company gets a credit period of 2 months on its raw material consumption (annual consumption is ` 7,50,000 from Question 1):
Creditors=7,50,000×212=1,25,000\text{Creditors} = ` 7,50,000 \times \frac{2}{12} = ` 1,25,000

**2. Outstanding Wages:**
Wages are paid with a 1/2 month's lag (annual wages are 20% of ` 30,00,000 sales = ` 6,00,000):
Outstanding Wages=6,00,000×0.512=25,000\text{Outstanding Wages} = ` 6,00,000 \times \frac{0.5}{12} = ` 25,000

**3. Outstanding Cash Manufacturing Overheads:**
Outstanding overhead expenses at the end of the year are given directly as:
Outstanding Overheads=60,000\text{Outstanding Overheads} = ` 60,000

**4. Outstanding Administrative Cost:**
Estimated total administrative cost is ` 1,80,000, and it is paid with a one-month lag (arrear):
Outstanding Administrative Cost=1,80,000×112=15,000\text{Outstanding Administrative Cost} = ` 1,80,000 \times \frac{1}{12} = ` 15,000

**5. Total Estimated Current Liabilities:**
Total Current Liabilities=Creditors+Outstanding Wages+Outstanding Overheads+Outstanding Administrative Cost\text{Total Current Liabilities} = \text{Creditors} + \text{Outstanding Wages} + \text{Outstanding Overheads} + \text{Outstanding Administrative Cost}
Total Current Liabilities=1,25,000+25,000+60,000+15,000=2,25,000\text{Total Current Liabilities} = ` 1,25,000 + ` 25,000 + ` 60,000 + ` 15,000 = ` 2,25,000

Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
