    I am not sure what you are asking – what is ‘dt’?

    Have you watched my lecture on inventory, because the first part of the lecture is going through the double entries for inventory at the end of the period.

    The abbreviation for debit is dr (not dt) πŸ™‚

    You must watch my lecture on inventory to see the double entries.

    Is the 198 the total cost of the 10 items?
    If it is, then what is the 24.5 two lines further down?

    And is 30 the selling price per item?

    on 1 jan, 6 items, total cost $30

    Buy 10 items, total cost $198

    So now have 16 units; total cost $228

    Sell 10 units: cost = 10/16 x $228 = $142.50

    6 units are left; total cost is 6/16 x $228 = $85.50

    Buy 20 units; total cost $490

    Now have 26 units; total cost $575.50

    Sell 5 units: cost = 5/26 x $575.50 = $110.67

    So total cost of sales – 142.5 + 110.67 = $253.17
    Total revenue = 15 x 30 = $450

    Gross profit is the difference πŸ™‚
