    All the sales made by a retailer are for cash , and her sales prices are fixed by doubling cost. Details recorded of her transactions for September 2006 are as follows.
    1 sept inventories $40,000
    30thsept purchases for month $60,000
    cash banked for sales for month $95000
    inventories $50,000
    Which two of the following conclusions could separately be drawn from this information?
    1. $5000 cash has been stolen from the sales revenue prior to banking.
    2. Goods costing $5000 has been stolen
    3. Goods costing $2,500 have been stolen
    4. Some good costing $2,500 had been sold at cost price.
    The answer is 1 and 3 sir..i understand the fact that oi + p -ci = cos
    so cos is 50,000.. i dont get how at the back they have given 100,000 (50,000X2)
    dont get the logic ? 50,000-95000=45000 not 5000? what if i use cos 95000? so the closing inventory is coming 50000

    The cost of sales = opening inventory plus purchases less closing inventories.
    So it equals 40,000 + 60,000 – 50,000 = 50,000.

    The sales price is double the cost, and so is 2 x 50,000 = 100,000.

    Cash banked for sales has nothing at all to do with the cost!
