Accounting Equation - Commerce

Working Note:

(i) In transaction 3 the Cost of goods sold is Rs. 40,000. Sold on cash 20% of profit Rs. 40,000 ×20/100 = Rs. 8,000.

Selling price = Rs. 40,000 + Rs. 8,000 = Rs. 48,000.

Cost of goods sold is Rs. 72,000. Sold on cash 20% of profit Rs. 72,000 ×25/100 = Rs. 18,000.

Selling price = Rs. 72,000 + Rs. 18,000 = Rs. 90,000.

Total cost of goods sold = Rs. 40,000 + 72,000 = 1,12,000.
