Calculation:
- Cost of goods available for sale = Opening stock + Purchases
- Purchases = Cost of goods available for sale - Opening stock
- Purchases = Rs. 22,000 - Rs. 3,500 = Rs. 18,500
- Cost of goods sold = Purchases + Opening stock - Closing stock
- Rs. 22,000 = Rs. 18,500 + Rs. 3,500 - Rs. 1,500
- Rs. 22,000 = Rs. 20,000
Therefore, the amount of purchase when opening stock = Rs. 3,500, closing stock = Rs. 1,500, and cost of goods sold = Rs. 22,000 is Rs. 20,000.
- Cost of goods available for sale = Opening stock + Purchases
- Purchases = Cost of goods available for sale - Opening stock
- Purchases = Rs. 22,000 - Rs. 3,500 = Rs. 18,500
- Cost of goods sold = Purchases + Opening stock - Closing stock
- Rs. 22,000 = Rs. 18,500 + Rs. 3,500 - Rs. 1,500
- Rs. 22,000 = Rs. 20,000
Therefore, the amount of purchase when opening stock = Rs. 3,500, closing stock = Rs. 1,500, and cost of goods sold = Rs. 22,000 is Rs. 20,000.

The correct answer is c) Rs. 25,000.
Step 1: Calculate the cost price (C.P.):
Cost Price (C.P.) = Sales / (1 + Margin Percentage) = 90,000 / 1.20 = 75,000
Step 2: Calculate the closing inventory:
Closing Inventory = Goods Purchased - COGS = 1,00,000 - 75,000 = 25,000
Step 1: Calculate the cost price (C.P.):
Cost Price (C.P.) = Sales / (1 + Margin Percentage) = 90,000 / 1.20 = 75,000
Step 2: Calculate the closing inventory:
Closing Inventory = Goods Purchased - COGS = 1,00,000 - 75,000 = 25,000

Poonam Reddy answered |
Accounting Equation to find out the cost of goods sold is :
Cost of Goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
Gross Profit earned is 25% on cost.
Let us assume cost is Rs.100
GP will @25% on cost i.e. Rs.25
Hence sales becomes cost of goods sold + Profit i.e. Rs.100 + Rs.25= Rs.125
Therefore Gross Profit on sales will be = Gross Profit / Sales * 100
Profit on sales = Rs.25 / Rs.125 * 100 i.e 20% on Sales
In the given problem Sales is Rs. 522000
Hence Gross Profit will be 20% of Rs.522000 i.e. Rs.104400
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs.522000 - Rs.104400
Cost of goods sold = Rs.417600
Therefore
Rs.417600 = Rs.70000 + Rs.416000 - Closing stock
Closing stock = Rs.486000 - Rs.417600
Closing Stock = Rs.68400

Calculation of Purchases
Opening Stock = Rs. 6,000
Closing Stock = Rs. 8,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs. 87,000
To calculate the value of purchases, we can use the following formula:
Purchases = Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Stock - Opening Stock
Substituting the given values, we get:
Purchases = Rs. 87,000 + Rs. 8,000 - Rs. 6,000
Purchases = Rs. 89,000
Therefore, the value of purchases is Rs. 89,000.
Explanation
The concept of purchases is important in accounting, as it helps to determine the cost of goods sold during a particular period. In this question, we are given the opening stock, closing stock, and cost of goods sold, and we are required to calculate the value of purchases.
The formula for calculating purchases is based on the principle of accounting known as the cost of goods sold. This principle states that the cost of goods sold during a particular period should include the cost of the goods that were sold, as well as the cost of goods that were not sold but were used in the production process.
To apply this formula, we first need to understand the meaning of opening stock, closing stock, and cost of goods sold. Opening stock refers to the value of inventory that a company has at the beginning of a particular period. Closing stock refers to the value of inventory that a company has at the end of a particular period. Cost of goods sold refers to the cost of the goods that were sold during a particular period.
Using the formula for purchases, we can calculate the value of purchases by adding the cost of goods sold and the value of closing stock, and subtracting the value of opening stock. This gives us the total cost of goods that a company has purchased during a particular period.
In this question, we are given the values of opening stock, closing stock, and cost of goods sold, and we can simply substitute these values into the formula to calculate the value of purchases. The answer is Rs. 89,000.
Opening Stock = Rs. 6,000
Closing Stock = Rs. 8,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs. 87,000
To calculate the value of purchases, we can use the following formula:
Purchases = Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Stock - Opening Stock
Substituting the given values, we get:
Purchases = Rs. 87,000 + Rs. 8,000 - Rs. 6,000
Purchases = Rs. 89,000
Therefore, the value of purchases is Rs. 89,000.

Given:
Purchases = Rs. 1,10,000
Return outward = Rs. 10,000
Goods given away as charity = Rs. 1,500
Goods distributed as sample = Rs. 1,000
To find: Net purchases
Explanation:
Net purchases is the value of goods purchased by a business after deducting purchase returns, goods given away as charity and goods distributed as samples.
Net purchases = Purchases - Return outward - Goods given away as charity - Goods distributed as sample
Substituting the given values, we get:
Net purchases = 1,10,000 - 10,000 - 1,500 - 1,000
Net purchases = Rs. 97,500
Therefore, the amount of net purchases is Rs. 97,500 (Option A).
Purchases = Rs. 1,10,000
Return outward = Rs. 10,000
Goods given away as charity = Rs. 1,500
Goods distributed as sample = Rs. 1,000
To find: Net purchases
Explanation:
Net purchases is the value of goods purchased by a business after deducting purchase returns, goods given away as charity and goods distributed as samples.
Net purchases = Purchases - Return outward - Goods given away as charity - Goods distributed as sample
Substituting the given values, we get:
Net purchases = 1,10,000 - 10,000 - 1,500 - 1,000
Net purchases = Rs. 97,500
Therefore, the amount of net purchases is Rs. 97,500 (Option A).

Cost of goods sold(net)= Opening stock + Net purchases + direct exp. - closing stock
Substitute all values in the above formula,
Cost of goods sold(net) = 30000 + 545000 + 5000 - 40000
= INR 540000
Now question says profit is 20% of net sales which means profit is 1/5th of net sales. To be more clear , 1= profit and 5 = net sales in the above fraction...
So what is cost?
Cost = net sales - profit
= 5 - 1
= 4
Which we can say, that profit is 1/4th on cost of net sales...
So profit will be = 540000(cost of net sales) * 1/4th
= INR 135000
So now the Net sales will be = cost of net sales + profit
= 540000 +135000
Net sales = INR 675000
now gross sales will be = Net sales + returns
= 675000 + 20000
Gross sales = INR 695000

Calculation of Purchases
To calculate the value of purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases = Opening Stock + Net Purchases - Closing Stock
Where,
Net Purchases = Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Sales - Gross Profit Margin
Given,
Opening Stock = Rs. 20,000
Sales = Rs. 1,50,000
Gross profit Margin = 20% of Sales
Closing Stock = Rs. 30,000
Calculation of Gross Profit Margin
Gross Profit Margin = 20% of Sales
= 20/100 * 1,50,000
= Rs. 30,000
Calculation of COGS
COGS = Sales - Gross Profit Margin
= 1,50,000 - 30,000
= Rs. 1,20,000
Calculation of Purchases
Purchases = Opening Stock + Net Purchases - Closing Stock
= 20,000 + 1,20,000 - 30,000
= Rs. 1,10,000
Therefore, the value of purchases is Rs. 1,10,000, which is option 'A'.
To calculate the value of purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases = Opening Stock + Net Purchases - Closing Stock

Opening Stock = Rs. 20,000
Sales = Rs. 1,50,000
Gross profit Margin = 20% of Sales
Closing Stock = Rs. 30,000
Calculation of Gross Profit Margin
Gross Profit Margin = 20% of Sales
= 20/100 * 1,50,000
= Rs. 30,000
Calculation of COGS
COGS = Sales - Gross Profit Margin
= 1,50,000 - 30,000
= Rs. 1,20,000
Calculation of Purchases
Purchases = Opening Stock + Net Purchases - Closing Stock
= 20,000 + 1,20,000 - 30,000
= Rs. 1,10,000
Therefore, the value of purchases is Rs. 1,10,000, which is option 'A'.

Explanation:
The concept of conservatism in accounting requires that the assets and revenues should be not overstated and liabilities and expenses should not be understated. In this case, the businessman purchased goods for Rs. 25,00,000 and sold 70% of such goods during the accounting year ended 31st March, 2005. The market value of remaining goods was Rs. 5,00,000.
The businessman valued the Closing stock at Rs. 5,00,000 and not at Rs. 7,50,000. This is because of the concept of conservatism. The reasons are:
• Certainty - The market value of Rs. 5,00,000 is certain, whereas the market value of Rs. 7,50,000 is not certain.
• Objectivity - The market value of Rs. 5,00,000 is more objective, whereas the market value of Rs. 7,50,000 is more subjective.
• Prudence - The concept of conservatism requires prudence in valuing the closing stock. In this case, valuing the closing stock at Rs. 5,00,000 is more prudent and conservative than valuing it at Rs. 7,50,000.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, i.e. conservatism.

Given:
Average Inventory = Rs. 12,000
Closing stock is Rs. 3,000 more than opening stock
To find: The value of closing Inventory
Solution:
Let the opening stock be x.
Then, the closing stock will be x+3,000.
Average inventory = (Opening stock + Closing stock) / 2
12,000 = (x + (x+3,000)) / 2
24,000 = 2x + 3,000
2x = 21,000
x = 10,500
Therefore,
Opening stock = Rs. 10,500
Closing stock = Rs. 10,500 + Rs. 3,000 = Rs. 13,500
The value of closing inventory = Rs. 13,500
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
Average Inventory = Rs. 12,000
Closing stock is Rs. 3,000 more than opening stock
To find: The value of closing Inventory
Solution:
Let the opening stock be x.
Then, the closing stock will be x+3,000.
Average inventory = (Opening stock + Closing stock) / 2
12,000 = (x + (x+3,000)) / 2
24,000 = 2x + 3,000
2x = 21,000
x = 10,500
Therefore,
Opening stock = Rs. 10,500
Closing stock = Rs. 10,500 + Rs. 3,000 = Rs. 13,500
The value of closing inventory = Rs. 13,500
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

- To find the estimated cost of the missing inventory, we use the gross profit method.
- The gross profit on sales is 25%, which means the cost of goods sold (COGS) is 75% of sales.
- The total sales amount to Rs. 48,00,000, so the COGS is Rs. 36,00,000 (75% of Rs. 48,00,000).
- The cost of goods available for sale is the sum of opening inventory and purchases, which is Rs. 40,00,000 (Rs. 6,00,000 + Rs. 34,00,000).
- Therefore, the expected closing inventory should be Rs. 4,00,000 (Rs. 40,00,000 - Rs. 36,00,000).
- The actual physical inventory counted is Rs. 3,25,000.
- The difference between the expected and actual inventory is Rs. 75,000, which is the estimated cost of the missing inventory, confirming that option a is correct.
If cost of goods sold is Rs. 80,700, opening stock Rs.5,800 and closing stock Rs. 6,000, then the amount of purchase will be :-- a)Rs. 80,500

Cost of goods sold(net)= Opening stock + Net purchases + direct exp. - closing stock
Substitute all values in the above formula,
Cost of goods sold(net) = 30000 + 545000 + 5000 - 40000
= INR 540000
Now question says profit is 20% of net sales which means profit is 1/5th of net sales. To be more clear , 1= profit and 5 = net sales in the above fraction...
So what is cost?
Cost = net sales - profit
= 5 - 1
= 4
Which we can say, that profit is 1/4th on cost of net sales...
So profit will be = 540000(cost of net sales) * 1/4th
= INR 135000
So now the Net sales will be = cost of net sales + profit
= 540000 +135000
Net sales = INR 675000
now gross sales will be = Net sales + returns
= 675000 + 20000
Gross sales = INR 695000

Calculation of Weighted Average Cost
Opening Stock:
- Quantity: 50 units
- Value: Rs.2,200
- Unit cost: 2,200/50 = Rs.44
Purchase on 2.12.2005:
- Quantity: 100 units
- Value: Rs.4,740
- Unit cost: 4,740/100 = Rs.47.4
Issue on 4.12.2005:
- Quantity: 50 units
- Value: 50 x 44 (unit cost of opening stock) = Rs.2,200
Purchase on 5.12.2005:
- Quantity: 200 units
- Value: Rs.9,600
- Unit cost: 9,600/200 = Rs.48
Total Quantity and Value:
- Quantity: 50 (opening stock) + 100 (purchase on 2.12.2005) + 200 (purchase on 5.12.2005) - 50 (issue on 4.12.2005) = 300 units
- Value: 2,200 (opening stock) + 4,740 (purchase on 2.12.2005) + 9,600 (purchase on 5.12.2005) - 2,200 (issue on 4.12.2005) = Rs.14,340
Weighted Average Cost:
- Total cost: Rs.14,340

Right answer is lifo because under inflationary conditions the recently purchased goods will be of higher price and hence we require the closing stock at lowest value therefore if we follow lifo then the goods which are purchased recently at Higher prices will be sold and those goods which are purchase at the beginning at lower prices will be in our closing stock
Under Inflationary conditions, LIFO will lead to : - a)No change in sale

Jayant Mishra answered |
Under LIFO (last-in, first out), the latest/higher costs will flow quickly to the cost of goods sold, and the older/lower costs will remain in inventory. If a company can increase its selling prices by the amount of the cost increases, the gross profit (sales minus the cost of goods sold), net income, taxable income, income taxes, and inventory will remain nearly the same.
If the profit is 25% of the cost price then it is- a)25% of the sales price
- b)33% of the sales price

Given Information:
- Stock as on April 01, 2010 = Rs. 80,000
- Purchases = Rs. 1,60,000
- Sales = Rs. 2,00,000
- Goods destroyed due to fire = Rs. 30,000
- Insurance claim accepted = Rs. 20,000
- Selling price = cost plus 33 1/3%
To find:
- Value of closing inventory
Solution:
Step 1: Calculation of cost of goods sold (COGS)
- COGS = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock
- Opening stock = Rs. 80,000
- Purchases = Rs. 1,60,000
- Closing stock = ?
- COGS = Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 1,60,000 - Closing stock
- COGS = Rs. 2,40,000 - Closing stock
Step 2: Calculation of goods destroyed due to fire
- Goods destroyed due to fire = Rs. 30,000
- Insurance claim accepted = Rs. 20,000
- Loss due to fire = Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 10,000
Step 3: Calculation of selling price
- Selling price = cost plus 33 1/3%
- Selling price = cost + (cost x 1/3)
- Cost = Selling price / (1 + 1/3)
- Cost = Selling price x 3/4
Step 4: Calculation of closing stock
- Closing stock = (Value of closing stock / Cost) x Selling price
- Value of closing stock = Cost - COGS + Loss due to fire
- Value of closing stock = (Selling price x 3/4) - (Rs. 2,40,000 - Closing stock) + Rs. 10,000
- Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Selling price) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
Substituting options in the above equation:
a) Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Selling price) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Rs. 10,000) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing stock = Rs. 7,500 + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing stock = Closing stock - Rs. 2,22,500
This is not equal to any of the given options.
b) Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Selling price) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Rs. 30,000) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing stock = Rs. 22,500 + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing stock = Closing stock - Rs. 2,07,500
This is not equal to any of the given options.
c) Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Selling price) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000
- Value of closing
- Stock as on April 01, 2010 = Rs. 80,000

- Closing stock = ?
- COGS = Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 1,60,000 - Closing stock
- COGS = Rs. 2,40,000 - Closing stock
Step 2: Calculation of goods destroyed due to fire
- Goods destroyed due to fire = Rs. 30,000
- Insurance claim accepted = Rs. 20,000
- Loss due to fire = Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 10,000
Step 3: Calculation of selling price
- Selling price = cost plus 33 1/3%
- Selling price = cost + (cost x 1/3)
- Cost = Selling price / (1 + 1/3)
- Cost = Selling price x 3/4
Step 4: Calculation of closing stock
- Closing stock = (Value of closing stock / Cost) x Selling price
- Value of closing stock = Cost - COGS + Loss due to fire
- Value of closing stock = (Selling price x 3/4) - (Rs. 2,40,000 - Closing stock) + Rs. 10,000
- Value of closing stock = (3/4 x Selling price) + Closing stock - Rs. 2,30,000

Given information:
- Value of stock as per physical stock verification on April 07, 2005 = Rs.35,000
- Goods costing Rs.5,000 were sold during the week of April 01 to April 07, 2005.
- Goods received from consignor worth Rs.4,000 were included in the value of stock.
- Goods worth Rs.1,000 were returned during the period.
- Goods worth Rs.6,000 were accounted for but not received.
To determine the value of stock held as on March 31, 2005, we need to adjust the stock value as per the above details. Let's break down the adjustments:
1. Adjust for goods sold during the week:
- Deduct the cost of goods sold from the stock value as on April 07, 2005.
- Cost of goods sold = Rs.5,000
- Adjusted stock value = Rs.30,000 (35,000 - 5,000)
2. Adjust for goods received from consignor:
- Exclude the value of goods received from the consignor, as they were not owned by the company as on March 31, 2005.
- Adjusted stock value = Rs.30,000 - Rs.4,000 = Rs.26,000
3. Adjust for goods returned during the period:
- Include the value of goods returned during the period, as they were owned by the company as on March 31, 2005.
- Adjusted stock value = Rs.26,000 + Rs.1,000 = Rs.27,000
4. Adjust for goods accounted but not received:
- Exclude the value of goods accounted for but not received, as they were not owned by the company as on March 31, 2005.
- Adjusted stock value = Rs.27,000 - Rs.6,000 = Rs.21,000
Therefore, the value of stock held as on March 31, 2005 was Rs.21,000.
However, the correct answer given is option 'C' - Rs.43,000. This seems to be an error in the question or answer options provided.
- Value of stock as per physical stock verification on April 07, 2005 = Rs.35,000

Cost of Normal Sales Calculation
The cost of normal sales can be calculated using the following formula:
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
Here, we are given the value of physical stock on 23rd June, which is Rs 4,80,000. We need to calculate the value of closing stock on 30th June, taking into account the following transactions:
1. Out of goods sent on consignment, goods costing Rs 24,000 were unsold.
2. Purchases of Rs 40,000 were made, out of which goods worth Rs 16,000 were delivered on 5th July.
3. Sales were Rs 1,36,000, which include goods worth Rs 32,000 sent on approval. Half of these goods were returned before 30th June, but no intimation is available regarding the remaining goods. Goods are sold at cost plus 25%. However, goods costing Rs 24,000 had been sold for Rs 12,000.
Let's calculate the cost of normal sales using the above formula:
Opening Stock = Rs 4,80,000
Purchases = Rs 40,000 - Rs 16,000 (goods delivered on 5th July) = Rs 24,000
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs 4,80,000 + Rs 24,000 - Cost of Normal Sales
Sales = Rs 1,36,000 - Rs 32,000 (goods sent on approval) = Rs 1,04,000
Cost of Normal Sales = (Cost of Goods Sold - Rs 24,000) / 1.25
We need to subtract the cost of goods sent on consignment but not sold (Rs 24,000) from the cost of goods sold, as these goods are still with us and have not been sold. We also need to divide the cost of normal sales by 1.25 to account for the fact that goods are sold at cost plus 25%.
Let's substitute the values in the above formula:
Cost of Normal Sales = (Rs 4,80,000 + Rs 24,000 - Cost of Goods Sold - Rs 24,000) / 1.25
Cost of Normal Sales = (Rs 4,80,000 + Rs 24,000 - Rs 1,04,000 - Rs 24,000) / 1.25
Cost of Normal Sales = Rs 73,600
Therefore, the cost of normal sales is Rs 73,600.
The cost of normal sales can be calculated using the following formula:
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
Here, we are given the value of physical stock on 23rd June, which is Rs 4,80,000. We need to calculate the value of closing stock on 30th June, taking into account the following transactions:

Opening Stock = Rs 4,80,000
Purchases = Rs 40,000 - Rs 16,000 (goods delivered on 5th July) = Rs 24,000
Closing Stock = Opening Stock + Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs 4,80,000 + Rs 24,000 - Cost of Normal Sales
Sales = Rs 1,36,000 - Rs 32,000 (goods sent on approval) = Rs 1,04,000
Cost of Normal Sales = (Cost of Goods Sold - Rs 24,000) / 1.25
We need to subtract the cost of goods sent on consignment but not sold (Rs 24,000) from the cost of goods sold, as these goods are still with us and have not been sold. We also need to divide the cost of normal sales by 1.25 to account for the fact that goods are sold at cost plus 25%.

Cost of Normal Sales = (Rs 4,80,000 + Rs 24,000 - Rs 1,04,000 - Rs 24,000) / 1.25
Cost of Normal Sales = Rs 73,600
Therefore, the cost of normal sales is Rs 73,600.

Valuing Damaged Inventory
Damaged inventory refers to goods or products that have been partially or fully damaged as a result of various reasons such as accidents, natural disasters, or theft. When it comes to valuing damaged inventory, there are various methods that can be used. However, the most appropriate method is to value the inventory at net realizable value (NRV).
Net Realizable Value (NRV)
Net realizable value (NRV) refers to the estimated selling price of inventory less the estimated costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This method is considered appropriate because the damaged inventory cannot be sold at the original cost and the cost of repairing the damaged goods is an additional expense. Thus, the NRV method ensures that the inventory is valued at a more realistic value based on its current condition and market demand.
Advantages of NRV
- Accurate valuation: The NRV method provides an accurate valuation of damaged inventory based on its current condition and market demand. This method takes into account the additional costs required to repair or dispose of the goods, thus providing a more realistic value.
- Consistency: The NRV method is consistent with the matching principle of accounting. This principle requires that expenses should be matched with the revenues they help to generate. The NRV method ensures that the costs associated with the damaged inventory are matched with the estimated revenue from the sale of the inventory.
- Compliance: The NRV method is compliant with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). These standards require that inventory be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Conclusion
In conclusion, damaged inventory should be valued at net realizable value (NRV) because it provides an accurate and realistic valuation based on the current condition and market demand of the goods. This method is consistent with the matching principle of accounting and is compliant with GAAP and IFRS.

Explanation:
Inflation refers to the general increase in the price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. Under inflationary conditions, the cost of goods sold (COGS) will increase, as the cost of raw materials, labor, and other expenses also increase.
There are different methods of inventory valuation, such as FIFO (first-in, first-out), LIFO (last-in, first-out), and weighted average. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of method can affect the calculation of COGS and the profitability of the business.
FIFO Method:
The FIFO method assumes that the first items purchased are the first items sold. Therefore, the COGS is calculated based on the cost of the oldest inventory, and the ending inventory is based on the cost of the most recent purchases. Inflationary conditions will lead to higher COGS and lower ending inventory value under FIFO.
LIFO Method:
The LIFO method assumes that the last items purchased are the first items sold. Therefore, the COGS is calculated based on the cost of the most recent purchases, and the ending inventory is based on the cost of the oldest inventory. Inflationary conditions will lead to lower COGS and higher ending inventory value under LIFO.
Weighted Average Method:
The weighted average method calculates the average cost of all the units in inventory, based on the total cost of goods available for sale and the total units available for sale. Inflationary conditions will lead to a higher average cost and higher COGS under weighted average.
Conclusion:
Under inflationary conditions, LIFO and weighted average methods will not show the lowest value of COGS, as they will result in lower COGS and higher ending inventory value or higher average cost and higher COGS, respectively. On the other hand, FIFO will result in higher COGS and lower ending inventory value under inflation. Therefore, the choice of inventory valuation method can have a significant impact on the financial statements of a business, especially under inflationary conditions.

Weighted Average Method:
The weighted average method calculates the average cost of all the units in inventory, based on the total cost of goods available for sale and the total units available for sale. Inflationary conditions will lead to a higher average cost and higher COGS under weighted average.
Conclusion:
Under inflationary conditions, LIFO and weighted average methods will not show the lowest value of COGS, as they will result in lower COGS and higher ending inventory value or higher average cost and higher COGS, respectively. On the other hand, FIFO will result in higher COGS and lower ending inventory value under inflation. Therefore, the choice of inventory valuation method can have a significant impact on the financial statements of a business, especially under inflationary conditions.

Lakshmi Kaur answered |
Given: Average Stock = Rs 12,000, Closing stock is Rs 3,000 more than opening stock.
To find: Value of closing stock.
Solution:
Let the opening stock be x.
Then, the closing stock will be x + 3,000 (as given in the question)
Total stock = opening stock + closing stock/2
12,000 = (x + x + 3,000)/2
24,000 = 2x + 3,000
2x = 24,000 - 3,000
2x = 21,000
x = 10,500
Therefore, the opening stock is Rs 10,500.
The closing stock is Rs 3,000 more than the opening stock.
Therefore, the closing stock is Rs 13,500.
Hence, the value of closing stock is Rs 13,500.
To find: Value of closing stock.
Solution:
Let the opening stock be x.
Then, the closing stock will be x + 3,000 (as given in the question)
Total stock = opening stock + closing stock/2
12,000 = (x + x + 3,000)/2
24,000 = 2x + 3,000
2x = 24,000 - 3,000
2x = 21,000
x = 10,500
Therefore, the opening stock is Rs 10,500.
The closing stock is Rs 3,000 more than the opening stock.
Therefore, the closing stock is Rs 13,500.
Hence, the value of closing stock is Rs 13,500.

Puja Singh answered |
To calculate the amount of purchase, we need to use the formula:
Purchase = Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Stock - Opening Stock
Given information:
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs.80,700
Opening Stock = Rs.5,800
Closing Stock = Rs.6,000
Let's calculate the amount of purchase using the above formula:
Purchase = Rs.80,700 + Rs.6,000 - Rs.5,800
Purchase = Rs.80,700 + Rs.200
Purchase = Rs.80,900
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Rs.80,900.
Purchase = Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Stock - Opening Stock
Given information:
Cost of Goods Sold = Rs.80,700
Opening Stock = Rs.5,800
Closing Stock = Rs.6,000
Let's calculate the amount of purchase using the above formula:
Purchase = Rs.80,700 + Rs.6,000 - Rs.5,800
Purchase = Rs.80,700 + Rs.200
Purchase = Rs.80,900
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Rs.80,900.

Re-ordering level is an important concept in inventory management. It refers to the point at which a new order needs to be placed in order to replenish the inventory and avoid stockouts. The re-ordering level is calculated by multiplying the maximum consumption rate by the maximum re-order period.
Explanation:
- Maximum consumption rate: This refers to the highest rate at which inventory is consumed or used by the organization. It takes into account factors such as customer demand, production requirements, and any other factors that may impact the rate of consumption.
- Maximum re-order period: This refers to the longest period of time that can elapse between placing an order and receiving the new inventory. It takes into account factors such as supplier lead time, transportation time, and any other delays that may occur in the procurement process.
- Multiplying the maximum consumption rate by the maximum re-order period: By multiplying these two values together, we can calculate the re-ordering level. This is because the re-ordering level needs to take into account both the rate at which inventory is consumed and the time it takes to replenish the inventory.
- Significance of re-ordering level: The re-ordering level is important because it helps organizations maintain a sufficient level of inventory to meet customer demand without incurring stockouts. By placing orders at the re-ordering level, organizations can ensure that they have enough inventory on hand to fulfill orders while also minimizing the risk of overstocking.
- Balancing inventory costs: Calculating the re-ordering level is also important for balancing inventory costs. By understanding the maximum consumption rate and the maximum re-order period, organizations can optimize their inventory levels to minimize carrying costs while still meeting customer demand.
In conclusion, the re-ordering level is calculated by multiplying the maximum consumption rate by the maximum re-order period. This calculation helps organizations maintain an appropriate level of inventory to meet customer demand while also minimizing inventory costs.

Calculation of Physical Inventory Value:
1. Add the value of goods purchased but not recorded in the books:
- Rs.10,000
2. Subtract the value of goods sold but not yet delivered:
- Rs.30,000
3. Add the value of goods returned but not recorded:
+ Rs.5,000
4. Subtract the value of inventory as per books:
- Rs.1,50,000
5. Physical Inventory Value:
= Rs.1,85,000 (Option C)
Explanation:
Perpetual inventory system means that the inventory balance is continuously updated in the books as and when purchases, sales, and returns are made. However, physical stock verification is still necessary to ensure that the recorded inventory matches the actual inventory on hand.
In this case, the physical stock verification revealed three discrepancies between the recorded inventory and the actual inventory:
1. Goods purchased for Rs.10,000 were received and included in the physical stock but no entry was made in the books. This means that the recorded inventory is understated by Rs.10,000.
2. Goods costing Rs.30,000 were sold and entered in the books but the stock is yet to be delivered. This means that the recorded inventory is overstated by Rs.30,000.
3. Goods worth Rs.5,000 are returned to the suppliers but is omitted to be recorded. This means that the recorded inventory is overstated by Rs.5,000.
To calculate the value of the physical inventory, we need to adjust the recorded inventory balance for these discrepancies. Adding the value of goods purchased but not recorded and the value of goods returned but not recorded will increase the inventory balance, while subtracting the value of goods sold but not yet delivered and the value of inventory as per books will decrease the inventory balance.
The final result is a physical inventory value of Rs.1,85,000, which is higher than the recorded inventory value of Rs.1,50,000. This means that the company has more inventory on hand than it thought, which could be a good thing if the inventory is in demand and can be sold at a profit. However, it also means that the company has been recording its inventory incorrectly, which could indicate weaknesses in its inventory control system.
1. Add the value of goods purchased but not recorded in the books:
- Rs.10,000
2. Subtract the value of goods sold but not yet delivered:
- Rs.30,000
3. Add the value of goods returned but not recorded:
+ Rs.5,000
4. Subtract the value of inventory as per books:

Calculation of value of stock on 30th June:
1. Adjust physical stock on 23rd June: Rs 4,80,000
2. Add purchases made: Rs 40,000
3. Subtract goods delivered on 5th July: Rs 16,000
4. Adjust for goods sent on consignment: Rs 24,000 (unsold)
5. Adjust for goods sent on approval: Rs 16,000 (returned) + Rs 16,000 (remaining)
6. Adjust for goods sold at cost plus 25%: Rs 1,36,000 + 25% = Rs 1,70,000
- Rs 24,000 (sold at loss)
= Rs 1,46,000
- Rs 32,000 (sent on approval and returned)
= Rs 1,14,000
Calculation:
1. Physical stock on 23rd June = Rs 4,80,000
2. Add purchases made = Rs 40,000
3. Subtract goods delivered on 5th July = Rs 16,000
Value of stock as on 30th June before other adjustments = Rs 5,04,000
4. Adjust for goods sent on consignment = Rs 24,000 (unsold)
Value of stock as on 30th June after adjustment for consignment goods = Rs 4,80,000
5. Adjust for goods sent on approval = Rs 16,000 (returned) + Rs 16,000 (remaining)
Value of stock as on 30th June after adjustment for approval goods = Rs 4,48,000
6. Adjust for goods sold at cost plus 25% = Rs 1,14,000
- Rs 24,000 (sold at loss)
= Rs 90,000
Value of stock as on 30th June after adjustment for sales = Rs 4,46,400
Therefore, the value of stock on 30th June is Rs 4,46,400.
1. Adjust physical stock on 23rd June: Rs 4,80,000
2. Add purchases made: Rs 40,000
3. Subtract goods delivered on 5th July: Rs 16,000
4. Adjust for goods sent on consignment: Rs 24,000 (unsold)
5. Adjust for goods sent on approval: Rs 16,000 (returned) + Rs 16,000 (remaining)
6. Adjust for goods sold at cost plus 25%: Rs 1,36,000 + 25% = Rs 1,70,000
- Rs 24,000 (sold at loss)
= Rs 1,46,000
- Rs 32,000 (sent on approval and returned)
= Rs 1,14,000
Calculation:
1. Physical stock on 23rd June = Rs 4,80,000
2. Add purchases made = Rs 40,000
3. Subtract goods delivered on 5th July = Rs 16,000
Value of stock as on 30th June before other adjustments = Rs 5,04,000
4. Adjust for goods sent on consignment = Rs 24,000 (unsold)
Value of stock as on 30th June after adjustment for consignment goods = Rs 4,80,000
5. Adjust for goods sent on approval = Rs 16,000 (returned) + Rs 16,000 (remaining)
Value of stock as on 30th June after adjustment for approval goods = Rs 4,48,000
6. Adjust for goods sold at cost plus 25% = Rs 1,14,000
- Rs 24,000 (sold at loss)
= Rs 90,000
Value of stock as on 30th June after adjustment for sales = Rs 4,46,400
Therefore, the value of stock on 30th June is Rs 4,46,400.

Impact of Overstated Closing Inventory
When the closing inventory is overstated, it means that the value of the inventory at the end of the accounting period is more than the actual value. This will have the following impacts:
1. Net Income Overstated:
When the closing inventory is overstated, it means that the cost of goods sold will be understated. This is because the cost of goods sold is calculated by subtracting the value of the closing inventory from the cost of goods available for sale. If the closing inventory is overstated, then the cost of goods sold will be lower, and as a result, the gross profit and net income for the period will be overstated.
2. Cost of Goods Sold Understated:
When the closing inventory is overstated, it means that the cost of goods sold will be understated. This is because the cost of goods sold is calculated by subtracting the value of the closing inventory from the cost of goods available for sale. If the closing inventory is overstated, then the cost of goods sold will be lower than the actual cost, and as a result, the cost of goods sold will be understated.
Therefore, both (a) and (b) are correct. When the closing inventory is overstated, it will result in net income for the period to be overstated and cost of goods sold to be understated.

Correct Answer :- a
Explanation : Calculation of quantity of goods sold = Opening stock + purchases - Closing stock
= 1,00,000 + 3,00,000 - 1,30,000
= 2,70,000
Amount of goods sold (under LIFO)
= 2,00,000 x 2.85 = 5,70,000
70,000 x 3 = 2,10,000
now,
5,70,000 + 2,10,000 = 7,80,000
(Under LIFO method the last purchased/produced inventory is sold first)

International Accounting Standard 2 (IAS 2) defines inventories as the “assets:
(a) held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
(b) in the process of production for such sale; or
(c) in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services.
Inventories are those assets of an entity which are sold in the normal course of business. These are the finished goods which are ready for being sold. Assets which are held for sale but are not traded in the normal course of business cannot be classified as inventories.
Apart from the finished goods that are ready for sale the goods in the process of production are also classified as inventories. The goods which have undergone some production process but are not in the intended selling condition are termed as work in progress or work in process. Work in progress is also part of the inventories.
The raw materials used for the production of goods are also classified as inventories. All the raw materials that are available in the store waiting for being used in the production of goods are included in inventories.

Consequences of Undervaluation of Closing Stock:
Undervaluation of closing stock can have several consequences, including:
1. Underreporting of Profit: If the closing stock is undervalued, it will lead to the understatement of the cost of goods sold and overstatement of the gross profit. This will result in an underreporting of profit for the period.
2. Creation of Hidden Reserves: Undervaluation of closing stock can lead to the creation of hidden reserves. This is because the difference between the actual value of closing stock and the undervalued amount will be added to the next year's opening stock. This will result in an artificially inflated opening stock value, which will create a hidden reserve.
3. Reduction of Tax Liability: Undervaluation of closing stock can reduce the tax liability of the business. This is because the cost of goods sold will be lower, resulting in a lower taxable profit. However, this is not a desirable practice as it can lead to penalties and fines for tax evasion.
4. All of the Above: Undervaluation of closing stock can have all of the above consequences, i.e., underreporting of profit, creation of hidden reserves, and reduction of tax liability.
In conclusion, it is important for businesses to value their closing stock accurately to avoid these consequences and ensure compliance with accounting and tax regulations. Any errors or misstatements should be corrected promptly to avoid any legal or financial implications.
