At 31 March 20X4 Picant’s current account with Sander was $3.4 million (debit). This did not agree with the equivalent balance in Sander’s books due to some goods-in- transit invoiced at $1.8 million that were sent by Picant on 28 March 20X4, but had not been received by Sander until after the year end. Picant sold all these goods at cost plus 50%.
The answer for this is: 1.8m x 50/150 = 0.6m
Why is the adjustment only account for the 1.8m GIT, and not for the 1.6m? When I was reading thru the question, I thought the adjustment for PUP should be using the 3.4m bcs I assumed the 1.6m is not yet sold.
