I came across a question in kaplan revision kit for MA where i am supposed to calculate closing balance for materials inventory account:
Opening balance 15,000 Materials purchased 176,000 Issued to production 165,000 Materials written off 4,000 Returned to supplier 8,000 Returned to stores 9,000
The answer is 23,000 and returns to supplier is added but returns to store is deducted, why?
because those returned to stores materials were issued to production but for some reasons they are sent back to the stores so they are added to closing balance
