If the closing stock during a particular period is understated by Rs. 15,500 while the opening stock is overstated by Rs. 20,500, then profits are

  1. overstated by Rs. 36,000

  2. understated by Rs. 36,000

  3. overstated by Rs. 5,000

  4. understated by Rs. 5,000


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When closing stock is understated, profit is reduced by Rs. 15,500 and opening stock overstated by Rs. 20,500 further reduces the profits by Rs. 20,500. Thus, overall profit is understated by Rs. 36,000.

COGS is calculated by

  1. opening stock + net purchases - closing stock

  2. opening stock + net sales - closing stock

  3. opening stock + net purchases + direct expenses - closing stock

  4. opening stock + net purchases + operating expenses - closing stock


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Operating expenses and sales are not the part of COGS. However, it includes direct expenses which are the part of the production process.

If the closing stock during a particular period is understated by Rs. 15,500 while the opening stock is overstated by Rs. 20,500, then profits are

  1. overstated by Rs. 36,000

  2. understated by Rs. 36,000

  3. overstated by Rs. 5,000

  4. understated by Rs. 5,000


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When closing stock is understated, profit is reduced by Rs. 15,500 and opening stock overstated by Rs. 20,500 further reduces the profits by Rs. 20,500. Thus, overall profit is understated by Rs. 36,000.

Inventory is valued in the books at

  1. cost price

  2. net realizable value

  3. cost price or net realizable price whichever is higher

  4. cost price or net realizable price whichever is lower


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Inventory is valued at cost or market price whichever is lower.

The opening stock valued in the books at Rs. 99,000 is understated by 10%, while the closing stock valued at Rs. 96,000 is understated by 20%. In this case, the profit will be

  1. understated by Rs. 13,000

  2. overstated by Rs. 13,000

  3. understated by Rs. 35,000

  4. overstated by Rs. 35,000


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Understated opening stock by 10% i.e. correct value is 99000* 100/90 = Rs.1,10,000. Thus, profit is overstated by Rs.11,000 as expenses are shown with less amount. Accordingly, the actual value of closing stock is 96,000* 100/80 = Rs.1,20,000 i.e. profit is understated by Rs. 24,000. Thus, overall profits are understated with Rs.13,000. All other options will give incorrect answers.

Under which of the following, goods issued for the production represent the current market value?

  1. FIFO

  2. LIFO

  3. Average price

  4. Weighted average


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As goods purchased in the last are issued first in LIFO method, thus issues represent the current prices. In FIFO method, goods purchased first are issued first and thus issue represents historic price while stock in hand is valued at current prices. In average method, average price is the basis of issue while in weighted average method, weights are also considered.

Which of the following methods of the inventory record system ensures greater accuracy?

  1. Standard valuation system

  2. Market value system

  3. Periodic inventory system

  4. Perpetual inventory system


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Perpetual system is the method where record is updated after each receipt and issue; it ensures greater accuracy. Standard valuation is the method of recording material issue at pre-determined standard price while in market value system; they are recorded at market price. In periodic inventory system, periodic record of inventory is maintained.

If profit is 20% of sales price, then it is _____% of cost price.

  1. 20

  2. 16.67

  3. 25

  4. 33.33


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Profit = 20% of sales = 1/5 of sales = 1/4 of cost or Let sales be Rs.100, Profit = Rs.20, Then cost = Rs.80, so profit/cost = 20/80 =1/4 of cost. If you wrongly assume cost = Rs.100, then you may get it 16.67%

If COGS is Rs. 85,000, opening stock is twice more than the closing stock and purchases are Rs. 60,000, then the closing stock will be

  1. Rs. 12,500

  2. Rs. 37,500

  3. Rs. 25,000

  4. Rs. 75,000


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

COGS = opening stock + Purchases - closing stock Let closing stock = X, So opening stock = X + 2X = 3X 85,000 = 3X + 60,000 - X X = closing stock = Rs.12,500 Opening stock is thus Rs.37,500. If you wrongly assume opening stock = 2X, then closing stock = Rs.25,000 and opening stock Rs.75,000.

If sales are Rs. 1,20,000, profits are 25% of cost, purchases = Rs. 60,000, then the opening stock is

  1. more than the closing stock by Rs. 36,000.

  2. less than the closing stock by Rs. 36,000.

  3. more than the closing stock by Rs. 30,000.

  4. less than the closing stock by Rs. 30,000.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Profit = 25% of cost = 1/5 of sales = Rs. 24,000 Thus, COGS = Sales- G.P. = Rs. 96,000 Opening stock + purchases - closing stock = 96,000 Putting the value, we get opening stock - closing stock = 36,000 If we wrongly assume profit = 25% of sales, then this difference is 30,000

If G.P. is 30% of cost and sales are Rs. 6,500, then COGS will be

  1. Rs. 8,450

  2. Rs. 4,550

  3. Rs. 8,000

  4. Rs. 5,000


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Profit = 30/130 of 6500 = 1500. Thus, COGS = Sales - G.P. = Rs. 5,000 If you calculate 6500 + 1950 = Rs. 8450,             6500 - 1950 = Rs. 4550,             6500 + 1500 = Rs. 8000 are incorrect answers.

If the price of material is rising, then issue of material will be the least in ______ method.

  1. FIFO

  2. LIFO

  3. average price

  4. weighted average


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As goods purchased in the beginning are issued first in FIFO method it will show the least amount. The LIFO method will show the issue at highest price; average price and weighted average methods will show in between the least and highest.

Consider the following transactions: Purchases: 5 April = 900 units @ Rs. 5                 10 April = 300 units @ Rs. 5.50                 12 April = 100 units @ Rs. 4 Issues: 8 April = 600 units and 11 April = 400 units. Find the value of issues on 11 April, as per LIFO method.

  1. Rs. 2,050

  2. Rs. 2,000

  3. Rs. 2,150

  4. Rs. 4,500


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Issue on 11 April i.e. 300 units from 10 April and 100 from 8 April = 300*5.50 + 100*5 = 2150 (A) 100*4 + 300*5.50 = 2050    (B) 400*5 = 2000 (D) 900*5 = 4500 are incorrect answers.

Which of the following is not a feature of periodic inventory record system?

  1. Based on physical verification.

  2. Inventory and COGS are calculated as residual figures.

  3. Provides continuous information about stock.

  4. Simple and economical method.

The difference in the quantity of stock as shown in the books and as lying in the store is taken as _______ in the periodic inventory system.

  1. issue/consumption of goods

  2. loss by theft

  3. closing stock

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The difference in the quantity refers to consumption/usage of goods. In perpetual system, it may be considered as loss by theft. It can never be taken as closing stock.

The physical stock in the business as on 5 April was Rs. 95,750. During 1st to 5th April, there was a purchase of goods for Rs. 15,000, while goods sold for Rs. 20,000 were at a profit of 25% on cost. Find the physical stock as on 31 March.

  1. Rs. 1,00,750

  2. Rs. 90,750

  3. Rs. 94,750

  4. Rs. 96,750


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Stock as on 5th April - Purchases + Cost of sales during the period 1st to 5th April. Cost of sales = 20,000 - 4000 (i.e. 1/5th of 20,000) = Rs. 16,000 Thus, 95750 - 15000 + 16000 = 96750 (A) 95750 - 15000 + 20000 = 100750 (B) 95750 + 15000 - 20000 = 90750 (C) 95750 + 15000 - 16000 = 94750 are incorrect answers.

When prices are rising, cost of production by FIFO method will be

  1. low

  2. high

  3. moderate

  4. nil


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When prices are rising, goods are recorded at previous prices i.e. lower prices. Thus, they show lower value of cost of production.

If price of a material is decreasing, then the closing inventory will be maximum in

  1. FIFO method

  2. LIFO method

  3. average price method

  4. weighted average method


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As goods purchased in the last are issued first in LIFO method, thus it will show the maximum amount for the closing stock. The FIFO method will show the stock at least price, average price and weighted average methods will show in between the least and highest.
