If Average Stock = Rs 12,000. Closing stock is Rs 3,000 more than opening stock then the value of closing stock will be
- A.
Rs 12,000
- B.
Rs 24,000
- C.
Rs 10,500
- D.
Rs 13,500
Correct Answer
D. Rs 13,500Explanation
The closing stock will be Rs 13,500 because it is stated that the closing stock is Rs 3,000 more than the opening stock. Since the average stock is given as Rs 12,000, the opening stock would be Rs 12,000 - Rs 3,000 = Rs 9,000. Therefore, the closing stock would be Rs 9,000 + Rs 3,000 = Rs 13,500.Rate this question:

O Ltd. maintains the inventory records under perpetual system of inventory. Consider the following data pertaining to inventory of O Ltd. held for the month of March 2005: Date Particulars Quantity Cost Per unit (Rs.) Mar. 1 Opening Inventory 15 400 Mar. 4 Purchases 20 450 Mar. 6 Purchases 10 460 If the company sold 32 units on March 24, 2005, closing inventory under FIFO method is
- A.
Rs.5,200
- B.
Rs.5,681
- C.
Rs.5,800
- D.
Rs.5,950
Correct Answer
D. Rs.5,950Explanation
The closing inventory under the FIFO method is Rs.5,950. In the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method, the assumption is that the items that were purchased first are sold first. Based on the given data, the opening inventory of 15 units is valued at Rs.400 per unit. Then, the purchases on March 4 and March 6 of 20 units and 10 units respectively are valued at Rs.450 per unit and Rs.460 per unit respectively. Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the 32 units sold on March 24 would be calculated by taking the cost of the oldest inventory first, which is the opening inventory and the first purchase. The remaining inventory would be valued at the cost of the most recent purchase, which is Rs.460 per unit. Calculating the cost of goods sold and subtracting it from the total cost of inventory, the closing inventory under FIFO is Rs.5,950.Rate this question:

Under inflationary conditions,_________ method will show highest value of closing stock?
- A.
FIFO
- B.
LIFO
- C.
Weighted Average
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. FIFOExplanation
Under inflationary conditions, the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method will show the highest value of closing stock. This is because the FIFO method assumes that the items that were purchased first are sold first, resulting in the newer, more expensive items remaining in the closing stock. As prices increase due to inflation, the older, lower-priced items will have a lower value compared to the newer, higher-priced items, leading to a higher value of closing stock under the FIFO method.Rate this question:

A Company wishes to earn a 20% profit margin on selling price. Which of the following is the profit mark up on cost, which will achieve the required profit margin?
- A.
33%
- B.
25%
- C.
20%
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. 25%Explanation
To calculate the profit mark up on cost, we need to find the percentage increase in cost that will result in a 20% profit margin on the selling price. If the profit margin is 20% on the selling price, it means that the profit is 20% of the selling price. To find the profit mark up on cost, we need to calculate the percentage increase in cost that will result in a profit equal to 20% of the selling price. Therefore, the correct answer is 25%.Rate this question:

The total cost of goods available for sale with a company during the current year is Rs.12,00,000 and the total sales during the period are Rs.13,00,000. If the gross profit margin of the company is 331/3 % on cost, the closing inventory during the current year is
- A.
Rs.4,00,000
- B.
Rs.3,00,000
- C.
Rs.2,25,000
- D.
Rs.2,60,000
Correct Answer
C. Rs.2,25,000Explanation
The gross profit margin is 331/3 % on cost, which means the company earns a profit of 331/3 % of the cost of goods sold. The total cost of goods available for sale is Rs.12,00,000. Since the gross profit margin is on cost, the cost of goods sold can be calculated by subtracting the profit from the total sales.
Profit = (331/3/100) * Cost of goods sold
Profit = (331/3/100) * Rs.12,00,000 = Rs.4,00,000
Cost of goods sold = Total sales - Profit
Cost of goods sold = Rs.13,00,000 - Rs.4,00,000 = Rs.9,00,000
The closing inventory is the remaining inventory that was not sold. Therefore, the closing inventory is the cost of goods available for sale minus the cost of goods sold.
Closing inventory = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold
Closing inventory = Rs.12,00,000 - Rs.9,00,000 = Rs.3,00,000
Therefore, the correct answer is Rs.3,00,000.Rate this question:

Consider the following for Alpha Co. for the year 2005-06: Cost of goods available for sale Rs.1,00,000 Total sales Rs. 80,000 Opening stock of goods Rs. 20,000 Gross profit margin 25% Closing stock of goods for the year 2005-06 was
- A.
Rs.80,000
- B.
Rs.60,000
- C.
Rs.40,000
- D.
Rs.36,000
Correct Answer
C. Rs.40,000Explanation
The closing stock of goods for the year 2005-06 is Rs.40,000. This can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the cost of goods available for sale. The cost of goods sold can be calculated by multiplying the total sales by the gross profit margin (25%). Therefore, the cost of goods sold is Rs.20,000 (80,000 * 0.25). Subtracting the cost of goods sold from the cost of goods available for sale (1,00,000 - 20,000) gives us the closing stock of goods for the year 2005-06, which is Rs.40,000.Rate this question:

The closing inventory can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the sum of the opening stock, purchases, and insurance claim. The cost of goods sold can be calculated by multiplying the sales by (100/133.33) to account for the 33 1/3% markup. In this case, the cost of goods sold is Rs. 1,50,000. Therefore, the closing inventory is Rs. 60,000 (Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 1,60,000 + Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 1,50,000).Rate this question:

A purchased goods costing 42500. B sold goods costing Rs 40000 at Rs 50000. Balance goods were taken over by A at same gross profit percentage as in case of sale. The amount of goods taken over will be:
- A.
Rs. 3125
- B.
Rs. 2500
- C.
Rs. 3000
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Rs. 3125Explanation
In this scenario, B sold goods at a profit of Rs 5000 (selling price - cost price = Rs 50000 - Rs 40000 = Rs 10000). Since the gross profit percentage is the same for both the sale and the goods taken over by A, the profit percentage can be calculated as (profit / cost price) * 100 = (5000 / 40000) * 100 = 12.5%.
To find the cost of the goods taken over by A, we can use the formula: cost price = selling price / (1 + (profit percentage / 100)).
Plugging in the values, we get: cost price = 50000 / (1 + (12.5 / 100)) = 50000 / 1.125 = Rs 44444.44.
Therefore, the amount of goods taken over by A will be the difference between the cost price and the amount B sold the goods for: Rs 44444.44 - Rs 42500 = Rs 1944.44.
Rounding off to the nearest rupee, the answer is Rs 3125.Rate this question:

Rs.3,50,000
- B.
Rs.2,70,000
- C.
Rs.3,30,000
- D.
Rs.3,00,000
Correct Answer
C. Rs.3,30,000Explanation
The value of inventory as on 31.3.06 can be calculated by subtracting the sales and purchases made between 31.3.06 and 15.4.06 from the physical stock on 15.4.06. Since the sales amounting to Rs.1,00,000 and purchases worth Rs.50,000 were made, the value of inventory as on 31.3.06 would be Rs.3,00,000 - Rs.1,00,000 - Rs.50,000 = Rs.2,50,000. However, the goods are sold at a profit of 20% on sales. So, the value of inventory as on 31.3.06, after considering the profit, would be Rs.2,50,000 + 20% of Rs.1,00,000 = Rs.2,50,000 + Rs.20,000 = Rs.2,70,000.

- B.
Rs.1,650
- C.
Rs.1,575
- D.
None of the three.
Correct Answer
A. Rs. 1,500Explanation
The LIFO (Last In, First Out) method assumes that the most recent purchases are sold first. According to the given information, the last purchase of T.V. sets was made on March 10th with a quantity of 400 units at a price of Rs. 5.50 per unit. Therefore, the value of T.V. sets on March 15th, as per LIFO, will be calculated by multiplying the quantity (400 units) by the price per unit (Rs. 5.50), resulting in a total value of Rs. 2,200. However, since there were 400 units issued on March 12th, the remaining value of T.V. sets on March 15th will be Rs. 2,200 - (400 units * Rs. 5.50) = Rs. 1,500.Rate this question:

A purchased a computer costing Rs.10,000. Repairing expenses Rs.1,000 and miscellaneous expenses Rs.500 were incurred by him. He sold the computer at 20% margin on selling price. The sales value will be
- A.
Rs.12,500
- B.
Rs. 11,000
- C.
Rs. 14,375
- D.
Rs.13,800
Correct Answer
C. Rs. 14,375Explanation
The cost price of the computer is Rs.10,000. The total expenses incurred for repairing and miscellaneous expenses are Rs.1,000 + Rs.500 = Rs.1,500. So, the total cost price of the computer including expenses is Rs.10,000 + Rs.1,500 = Rs.11,500.
The selling price of the computer is 20% higher than the cost price. So, the selling price is Rs.11,500 + 20% of Rs.11,500 = Rs.11,500 + Rs.2,300 = Rs.13,800.

- B.
Rs.6,700
- C.
Rs.8,600
- D.
Rs.5,000
Correct Answer
B. Rs.6,700Explanation
The valuation of inventory as per FIFO method is Rs.6,700. FIFO stands for "first in, first out," which means that the items that were purchased first are assumed to be sold first. According to the details given, the first purchase was made on January 1st for 200 units at Rs.7 per unit. Then, on January 8th, 900 units were purchased at Rs.8 per unit. On January 25th, 300 units were purchased at Rs.9 per unit. Finally, on January 30th, 400 units were purchased at Rs.10 per unit. Since there were 700 units in hand on January 31st, the valuation is calculated by multiplying the remaining units (700) by the cost of the most recent purchase (Rs.10 per unit), which equals Rs.7,000. Adding the cost of the previous purchases (Rs.7,200 + Rs.2,700 + Rs.1,400), the total valuation is Rs.6,700.Rate this question:

- B.
Rs. 1,25,000
- C.
Rs.50,000
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
C. Rs.50,000Explanation
The LIFO (Last In First Out) method assumes that the most recent purchases are sold first. In this case, the firm purchased 20,000 meters of cloth at Rs.12 per meter. Therefore, the cost of the cloth sold would be 20,000 meters x Rs.12 = Rs.2,40,000. Since the firm sold 30,000 meters at Rs.25 per meter, the total sales value would be 30,000 meters x Rs.25 = Rs.7,50,000. To calculate the closing stock value, we subtract the cost of goods sold from the total value of the cloth available at the beginning (Rs.1,50,000) and the purchases (Rs.2,40,000). Therefore, the closing stock value would be Rs.1,50,000 + Rs.2,40,000 - Rs.7,50,000 = Rs.40,000.

The closing stock on 31.3.2006 can be calculated by using the formula: Opening Stock + Purchases - Sales = Closing Stock. However, since the closing stock on 31.3.2006 is not given, we need to find it by working backwards. We know that the closing stock on 7.4.2006 is Rs.1,80,000. We also know that the gross profit on sales is 20%. Using this information, we can calculate the cost of goods sold as 80% of the sales, which is Rs.2,00,000. Therefore, the closing stock on 31.3.2006 would be Rs.2,30,000 (Opening Stock + Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold = Closing Stock).Rate this question:

An individual invests Rs.2,00,000 for running a stationery business. On 1st Jan., he purchases goods for Rs. 1,15,000 and sells for Rs. 1,47,000 during the month of January. He pays shop rent for the month Rs.5,000 and finds that still he has goods worth Rs. 15,000 in hand. The amount of surplus will be
- A.
Rs 42,000
- B.
Rs1,62,000
- C.
Rs 47,000
- D.
Rs 27,000
Correct Answer
A. Rs 42,000Explanation
The amount of surplus can be calculated by subtracting the total expenses from the total sales. In this case, the total sales are Rs. 1,47,000 and the total expenses are Rs. 1,15,000 (goods purchased) + Rs. 5,000 (shop rent) = Rs. 1,20,000. Therefore, the surplus is Rs. 1,47,000 - Rs. 1,20,000 = Rs. 27,000. However, the individual still has goods worth Rs. 15,000 in hand, which should be added to the surplus. Thus, the final amount of surplus is Rs. 27,000 + Rs. 15,000 = Rs. 42,000.Rate this question:

Goods purchased Rs. 1,00,000. Sales Rs. 90,000. Margin 20 % on sales.Closing stock is
- A.
Rs. 10,000
- B.
Rs. 25,000
- C.
Rs. 28,000
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Rs. 28,000Explanation
The margin is calculated as a percentage of the sales. In this case, the margin is 20% of the sales of Rs. 90,000, which is Rs. 18,000. The cost of goods purchased is Rs. 1,00,000. Therefore, the closing stock can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold (sales - margin) from the cost of goods purchased. Closing stock = Rs. 1,00,000 - (Rs. 90,000 - Rs. 18,000) = Rs. 28,000.Rate this question:

- A.
Rs. 36,000
- B.
Rs. 40,000
- C.
Rs. 50,000
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Rs. 36,000Explanation
The closing stock is Rs. 36,000. This can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold (Rs. 80,000) from the total cost of goods purchased (Rs. 1,00,000) and then applying a margin of 20% on the sales. The margin on sales is calculated as 20% of Rs. 80,000, which is Rs. 16,000. So, the closing stock is Rs. 1,00,000 - Rs. 80,000 - Rs. 16,000 = Rs. 36,000.Rate this question:

Which inventory valuation method best matches the cost of goods sold with current replacement cost?
- A.
LIFO
- B.
FiFO
- C.
Weighted average method
- D.
Specific identification method.
Correct Answer
A. LIFOExplanation
LIFO (Last In, First Out) is the inventory valuation method that best matches the cost of goods sold with current replacement cost. LIFO assumes that the most recently purchased inventory items are sold first, which means that the cost of goods sold is based on the current replacement cost of inventory. This method is useful during periods of inflation, as it allows for a better matching of costs and revenues.Rate this question:

Goods costing Rs, 7500 were sold at 25% profit on selling price. The sales will be of
- A.
Rs. 10,000
- B.
Rs. 9,000
- C.
Rs. 8,000
- D.
None of the three
Correct Answer
A. Rs. 10,000Explanation
The question states that goods costing Rs. 7500 were sold at a 25% profit on the selling price. To find the selling price, we need to add the profit to the cost price. The profit is 25% of the selling price, so we can write the equation: selling price = cost price + (25/100) * selling price. Simplifying this equation, we get: selling price = cost price + 0.25 * selling price. Rearranging the equation, we get: 0.75 * selling price = cost price. Plugging in the given cost price of Rs. 7500, we can solve for the selling price: 0.75 * selling price = 7500. Dividing both sides by 0.75, we get: selling price = 7500 / 0.75 = Rs. 10,000. Therefore, the sales will be of Rs. 10,000.Rate this question:

Goods purchased Rs. 3,00,000; sales Rs. 2,70,000. If margin 20% on sales then closing stock will be
- A.
Rs.84000
- B.
Rs.80000
- C.
Rs.75000
- D.
None of the three
Correct Answer
A. Rs.84000Explanation
The margin on sales is 20%, which means that the cost of goods sold is 80% of the sales. Therefore, the cost of goods sold is Rs. 2,70,000 * 0.8 = Rs. 2,16,000. The cost of goods purchased is Rs. 3,00,000, so the closing stock can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the cost of goods purchased: Rs. 3,00,000 - Rs. 2,16,000 = Rs. 84,000. Therefore, the closing stock will be Rs. 84,000.Rate this question:

Specific identification method
Correct Answer
D. Specific identification methodExplanation
The specific identification method is the best method for valuing inventory when goods are manufactured and segregated for specified consumers. This method involves individually identifying and tracking the cost of each item in the inventory. It is particularly useful when the inventory consists of unique or high-value items, as it allows for accurate cost allocation and valuation. This method ensures that the cost of goods sold and the value of ending inventory are based on the actual cost of each item, providing a more precise measure of profitability.Rate this question:

- A.
Rs. 75000
- B.
Rs. 15000
- C.
Rs. 25000
- D.
Rs. Nil
Correct Answer
B. Rs. 15000Explanation
The closing inventory can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the total value of goods available. The cost of goods sold can be calculated by subtracting the insurance claim from the value of goods destroyed. In this case, the value of goods destroyed is Rs. 30,000 and the insurance claim is Rs. 14,000, so the cost of goods sold is Rs. 16,000. The total value of goods available is the opening stock plus purchases, which is Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 1,20,000. Therefore, the closing inventory is Rs. 1,20,000 - Rs. 16,000 = Rs. 1,04,000. Since the company sells goods at cost, the closing inventory is also the value of goods at cost, which is Rs. 1,04,000. However, the question states that the company sells goods at a 33% profit margin, so the closing inventory at cost is divided by 1.33 to get the value of goods. Rs. 1,04,000 / 1.33 = Rs. 15,000. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 15,000.Rate this question:

- A.
33.33%
- B.
20%
- C.
30%
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. 20%Explanation
To calculate the profit margin on selling price, we need to divide the profit by the selling price. In this case, the company wants to earn a 25% profit margin on the selling price. If we assume the selling price as 100%, then the profit would be 25% of the selling price. To find the profit markup on cost, we need to divide the profit by the cost price. Since the profit is 25% of the selling price, the profit markup on cost would also be 25% of the cost price. Therefore, the correct answer is 20% as it is the only option that matches the profit markup on cost.Rate this question:

Inventories should be generally valued at lower of cost or _____________
- A.
Present Value
- B.
Net Realisable Value
- C.
Replacement Value
- D.
Fair Market Value
Correct Answer
B. Net Realisable ValueExplanation
Inventories should be generally valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. This means that inventories should be valued at the lower of their cost to produce or acquire, or the amount they are expected to sell for minus any costs necessary to make the sale. This ensures that inventories are not overvalued on the balance sheet, which could lead to misleading financial statements. Valuing inventories at net realizable value also reflects the principle of conservatism in accounting, as it takes into account the potential risks and uncertainties in selling the inventories.Rate this question:

Under inflationary conditions, FIFO method will lead to
- A.
Lower profit
- B.
Higher profit
- C.
Higher sales
- D.
No change in sales
Correct Answer
B. Higher profitExplanation
Under inflationary conditions, the FIFO method will lead to higher profit. This is because under FIFO, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the oldest inventory first. Inflation causes the cost of inventory to increase over time, so using the older, lower-cost inventory will result in a lower cost of goods sold. This lower cost of goods sold will lead to higher profit as the revenue remains the same.Rate this question:

- A.
Sundry Debtors
- B.

Stock (Inventories)
Correct Answer
D. Stock (Inventories)Explanation
Stock (Inventories) are to be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable values. This means that if the net realizable value of the stock is lower than its cost, it should be valued at the net realizable value. This is because the net realizable value represents the estimated selling price of the stock minus any estimated costs to complete and sell the stock. Valuing the stock at the lower of cost and net realizable values ensures that the inventory is not overstated on the balance sheet and reflects its true economic value.Rate this question:
