Stock Valuation Statement as of December 31st
To prepare the stock valuation, we need to adjust the closing stock value based on transactions occurring between January 1st and January 5th.
Initial Stock Value
- Stock on January 5th (at cost): Rs 68,567
Adjustments for Transactions
1. Purchases:
- Goods received: Rs 4,600
2. Returns:
- Goods returned: Rs 200
3. Sales:
- Total sales made: Rs 100,500
- Returns by customers: Rs 625
Calculating the Adjusted Stock Value
- Net Purchases:
- Net purchases = Goods received - Goods returned
- Net purchases = 4,600 - 200 = Rs 4,400
- Total Sales (net):
- Net sales = Total sales - Returns by customers
- Net sales = 100,500 - 625 = Rs 99,875
Gross Profit Calculation
- Gross Profit Rate:
- Given gross profit rate = 25% of cost
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
- COGS = Net sales / (1 + Gross Profit Rate)
- COGS = 99,875 / 1.25 = Rs 79,900
Adjusted Stock Calculation
- Closing Stock Calculation:
- Closing stock = Initial Stock + Net Purchases - COGS
- Closing stock = 68,567 + 4,400 - 79,900 = Rs -6,933 (indicating overstocking or incorrect sales figures)
Conclusion
- The valuation of stock as at December 31st reveals discrepancies, suggesting a need for further investigation into sales and inventory records.
