Q.3 From the following information, determine Gross Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2019:
? ?
Opening Stock (1st April, 2018) 25,000 Goods purchased during the year 1,40,000
Freight and Packing 10,000 Closing Stock (31st March, 2019) 30,000
Sales 1,90,000 Packing Expenses on Sales 6,000
The solution can be presented as follows
Gross Profit = Sales + Closing Stock – (Opening Stock + Goods Purchased +Freight and Packing)
= 1,90,000 + 30,000 – (25,000 + 1,40,000 + 10,000)
= 2,20,000 – 1,75,000
= 45,000
N.B: The entry packing expense on sales is an indirect expense and therefore is not considered to be a part of
the Gross Profit.
Q.4 Calculate Closing Stock from the following details:
? ?
Opening Stock 20,000 Purchases 70,000
Cash Sales 60,000 Credit Sales 40,000
Rate of Gross Profit on Cost 33 1/3%
The solution can be presented as follows
Gross Profit on cost = 33 1/3 %.
Cost =1/3rd.
Gross Profit on sales = ¼ th
Also,
Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales = 60,000+40,000
= 1,00,000
So, Gross Profit =1,00,000 x ¼
= 25,000

Q.3 From the following information, determine Gross Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2019:
? ?
Opening Stock (1st April, 2018) 25,000 Goods purchased during the year 1,40,000
Freight and Packing 10,000 Closing Stock (31st March, 2019) 30,000
Sales 1,90,000 Packing Expenses on Sales 6,000
The solution can be presented as follows
Gross Profit = Sales + Closing Stock – (Opening Stock + Goods Purchased +Freight and Packing)
= 1,90,000 + 30,000 – (25,000 + 1,40,000 + 10,000)
= 2,20,000 – 1,75,000
= 45,000
N.B: The entry packing expense on sales is an indirect expense and therefore is not considered to be a part of
the Gross Profit.
Q.4 Calculate Closing Stock from the following details:
? ?
Opening Stock 20,000 Purchases 70,000
Cash Sales 60,000 Credit Sales 40,000
Rate of Gross Profit on Cost 33 1/3%
The solution can be presented as follows
Gross Profit on cost = 33 1/3 %.
Cost =1/3rd.
Gross Profit on sales = ¼ th
Also,
Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales = 60,000+40,000
= 1,00,000
So, Gross Profit =1,00,000 x ¼
= 25,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross Profit
= 1,00,000 - 25,000
= 75,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases- Closing Stock
Now putting the values in this formula, we get
75,000 = 20,000 + 70,000 - Closing Stock
Closing Stock = 90,000- 75,000
= 15,000

Also,
Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales = 60,000+40,000
= 1,00,000
So, Gross Profit =1,00,000 x ¼
= 25,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross Profit
= 1,00,000 - 25,000
= 75,000
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases- Closing Stock
