Question
Calculate Closing Stock from the following details:

Answer

Calculation of amount of Closing Stock
Gross Profit $=33\frac{1}{3}\%$ on cost $=\frac{1}{3}\text{rd}$ on Cost
$\therefore\ $Gross Profit on sales $=\frac{1}{4}\text{th}$ on Sales
And, Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales = 60,000 + 40,000 = ₹ 1,00,000
So, Gross Profit $=1,00,000\times\frac{1}{4}=₹\ 25,000$
Cost of Goods Soles = Sales - Gross Profit
= ₹ 1,00,000 - ₹ 25,000 = ₹ 75,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening stock + Purchases Expenses - Closing Stock
₹ 75,000 = ₹ 20,000 + ₹ 70,000 + 0 - Closing Stock
Closing Stock = ₹ 75,000
