b: $1400
c: $850
d: $1000can anyone plz tel me complete solution… i am confused here.. i simply rearrange the formula of accounting equation …but did not get correct answere….
September 4, 2014 at 6:35 pm #193726The change in the net assets = profit – drawings + capital introduced.
The net assets at the start of the week were 15,700 – 11,200 = 4,500.
The capital introduced was 1,400. The drawings were 400.
The profit during the week was 1,200 – 600 – 750 = (150) (loss, or negative profit).Now there should be no problem answering the question 🙂

September 6, 2014 at 12:46 pm #194076one more question sir…. please tel me why closing inventory are lower when fifo method is used.. assuming that prices have fallen year by year.. please explain it to me
September 6, 2014 at 6:40 pm #194100I assume that you are happy with actually calculating FIFO and Average Cost (if not, then do watch the lecture on Inventory / IAS2).
With FIFO the closing inventory is assumed to be the most recent purchases, whereas with AVCO we are taking an average of (usually) earlier purchases as well.
If prices have been falling, then the most recent purchases will have been at a lower cost than earlier purchases.
I hope that makes sense 🙂
(When it is a new topic – as this question is – please start a new thread 🙂 )
