Answer 1

Solution:

		Purchases	Sales
Date	Particulars	Quantity	Rate	Amount	Quantity	Rate	Amount	Closing quantity
1	Opening	6	700	$4,200				6
4	Sales				4	700	$2,800	2
10	Purchases	5	710	$3,550				7
13	Sales				1	700	$700	6
13	Sales				2	710	$1,420	4
20	Purchases	4	720	$2,880				8
28	Sales				3	710	$2,130	5
28	Sales				4	720	$2,880	1
30	Purchase	8	730	$5,840				9
	Total	23		$16,470	14		$9,930

Ending inventory =(1*700)+(8*730)

=$700+$5,840

=$6,540

Cost of goods sold = Total purchase cost - Closing stock

=$16,470 -$6,540

=$9,930
