    Hello, would you please help to clarify?

    Normally the cost of sales figure include the amount for carriage inwards, since it is added to purchases as a cost of purchase.

    Why should we deduct this amount again to arrive at the gross profit?

    Question: Calculate gross profit

    Answer by ACCA: 13,800 – 10,350 – 200 = 3,250

    $’000
    Revenue 13,800

    Cost of sales 10,350

    Carriage inward 200

    sir why the carriage inward is deducted again in cost of sales it is added to the purchases
