How do you people remember all those figures? I can't even remember half the questions!! Did anyone else add the cost of returned sales in the adjustment bit back to closing inventories in the first section? Wasn't sure whether I should have done that, if they were returned because they were faulty should I have written it off somewhere or am I just getting paranoid?
:ohmy:

Hi there. What formula did people use for Trade Payables Turnover? I know it should be Trade Payables over Purchases, but they didn't provide Purchases figures! I could work out the most recent year's Purchases by doing a Cost of Sales calculation, but couldn't work it out for the earlier year as I didn't know the Opening Inventories. Did you do Trade Payables over Cost of Sales???

Trade payables = trade payables / cost of sales x 365

I did at first (in pencil) as I was iffy about it, then it wouldn't balance so i removed it and it worked

Thank you. That's what everybody in my group did, but we were thrown by it as we've always been taught it was over Purchases, not Cost of Sales! Many thanks.

did anyone do two journals on closing inventories. as it says the returned good were not recorded in the inventories at the year end. using the cost of £87000.?

Alexxx

Oh dear. And I was so happy everything had balanced. Am I going to fail for adding the returns back to inventories? I just assumed they would resell it... I ended up with 2 journals for inventories, £87 + whatever the 1st figure was they gave, think it came to 4700ish?

I just did one journal but showed in my workings how I arrived at the figure, I think it was something like 7,878,000 + 87,000 = 7,965,000

if purchases was there then you would use that, cost of sales is its substitute

I didn't adjust the stock figures at all because it said that the returned stock wasn't included in the closing stock balance. I therefore just debitted Returns In, and Creditted Trade Payables. I thought that amended to Returns In would adjust the stock figure when it was included in Cost of Sales??

laurajchambers@btinternet

I didn't mean Cost of Sales! I meant when it was deducted from Sales in the Revenue calculation. I thought that this alone would result in the stock figure being adjusted?
