Explanation / Answer

AT the beginning of May:

cash = $4500

Stock = $4500

Part A, calculation of cash and stock:

Cash, transactions taken into consideration as they are cash transactions:

tansaction dated May9, may10, May 11, May 12, May 15, May 19, May 24, May 27, May 29.

May 9 = received cash as settlement for sales, May 10 paid for the credit purchase - return, May 11 cash purchase of supplies, May 12 cash purchase, May 15 refund, May 19 paid freight, May 24 cash sales, May 27 Paid supplier and May 29 gave refund to customer.

Total transaction of cash = 4500 +1800 - 3800 - 350 -1300 + 200 - 140 + 3300 - 1200 - 60

= $2950

Stock balance, transactions taken into consideration:

May 1 credit purchase, May 2 credit sale, May 5 merchandize returned, May 12 merchandize purchased, May 15 refund received for merchandized sent back, May 17 purchsed merchandise, May 24 Sold merchandize, May 27 sold merchandize, May 29 refund to customer fair value used in stock, May 31 sales

Stock Balance = 4500 +4100 - 1100 - 300 +1300 - 200 + 1200 - 2100 + 700 + 30 - 600

= $7530

Income statement:

Total sales = 1800 + 3300 - 60 + 1000.................... actual sales and refund considered as part of income

= 6040

Total expenditure occur from cost of goods sold and other expenditure for supplies and freight

= 1100 + 350 + 140 + 2100 - 30 + 600

= 4260

Gross profit would only consider the cost of goods sold = 1100 + 2100 - 30 + 600 = 3870

Gross profit = 6040 - 3870 = 2170

Net profit = 6040 - 4260 = 1780
