Answer :
Question.2: From the following balances extracted from the books of M/s Ahuja and Nanda. Calculate the amount of:
(a) Cost of goods available for sale
(b) Cost of goods sold during the year
(c) Gross Profit

Answer :
(a) Cost of Goods Available for Sale
Cost of Goods Available for Sale (or Cost of Goods Manufactured) = Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Wages
= Rs 25,000 + Rs 10,40,000 + Rs 1,00,000
= Rs 11,65,000
(b) Cost of Goods Sold during the year
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Wages - Closing Stock
= Rs 25,000 + Rs 10,40,000 + Rs 1,00,000 - Rs 30,000
= Rs 11,35,000
Or, using the relationship between sales and gross profit:
Cost of Goods Sold = Net Sales - Gross Profit
= Rs 15,50,000 - Rs 4,15,000
= Rs 11,35,000
(c) Gross Profit
Gross Profit = Rs 4,15,000
Question.3: Calculate the amount of gross profit and operating profit on the basis of the following balances extracted from the books of M/s Rajiv and Sons for the year ended March 31, 2005.

Answer :
Gross profit is shown in the trading account above.
Operating Profit = Sales - (Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Direct Expenses + Administration Expenses + Selling and Distribution Expenses) + Closing Stock
= Rs 11,00,000 - (Rs 50,000 + Rs 6,00,000 + Rs 60,000 + Rs 45,000 + Rs 65,000) + Rs 70,000
= Rs 11,00,000 - Rs 8,20,000 + Rs 70,000
= Rs 3,50,000
Question 4: Operating profit earned by M/s Arora and Sachdeva in 2005-06 was Rs 17,00,000. Its nonoperating incomes were Rs 1,50,000 and non-operating expenses were Rs 3,75,000. Calculate the amount of net profit earned by the firm.
Answer :
Net Profit = Operating Profit + Non-operating Income - Non-operating Expenses
= Rs 17,00,000 + Rs 1,50,000 - Rs 3,75,000
= Rs 14,75,000
Net profit earned by M/s Arora and Sachdeva in 2005-06 is Rs 14,75,000.
