Journal Entry for Selling Goods to Anil with Trade Discount and Cartage Charges

1. Understanding the given information
The given information is as follows:
- Cost of goods sold = Rs. 40,000
- Profit on sales = 20%
- Trade discount = 20%
- Cartage charges = Rs. 1,000
- The cartage charges are to be charged from the customer.

2. Calculation of Selling Price
To calculate the selling price, we need to first calculate the selling price before the trade discount.
- Selling price before discount = Cost of goods sold + Profit
- Profit = 20% of Cost of goods sold = 20% of Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 8,000
- Selling price before discount = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 8,000 = Rs. 48,000
- Trade discount = 20% of Selling price before discount = 20% of Rs. 48,000 = Rs. 9,600
- Selling price after trade discount = Selling price before discount - Trade discount = Rs. 48,000 - Rs. 9,600 = Rs. 38,400
