Could you please put approximate calculations here for a closing stock? Basically, it starts with gross profit calculation. If I am not mistaken, sales were totalled to 129,000 and gross profit supposed to be 35% or 45%, smth like that...0

i did not balance in section 1 - was approx 17k out not sure why so opened a suspense ac.
section 2 entered opening stock as 30k too so that balanced and therefore profit 70k
wrong theory right answer:huh:
No, i think people just mean the P&L column on the ETB x0 -
think that sales of 129k - margin of 35% so therefore the difference of 65% is the cost ??? not sure though:glare:0

im glad im not the only one to of done that...i entered opening stock of 30k too...lol0 -
I took 129,000 x 35% to get my gross profit amount. Then I just found the difference between the sales and that to get the cost of goods sold.0

well lets hope theres more of us out there - they may give us some sort of allowence !!! lol - right answer though ? 70k0

129000 x65/100 = 83850 cost of goods sold
closing stock then came to 16115 (i think, def 16 something)0 -
on the current a/c u needed to share the profit by the profit share which was 60/40 and balance them off
Yeah, i did do that. I must have messed up on transferring the figures from the TB somehow :001_unsure:, stupid blooming mistake! Oh well, hopefully won't fail just on that. Was expecting not to have had so many problems with this one, i think time was getting on I rushed a bit. x0 -

Yeh i had £129,000 sales then multiplied by 35% to get the profit margin, that left 65% for Cost Of Sales. I then drew up the top part of the P&L:
Opening Stock plus Purchases, Minus Closing Stock = Cost of Sales
Seen as the opening stock was given in the balance sheet for March 2008 (on the perforated page) and we'd already worked out purchases and cost of sales, the above just needed re-jigging to find the missing Closing Stock figure. Mine was 16,115 i think!0 -

same as me rachey.....:thumbup1:0 -
I totally forgot the simplest thing like the layout of the balance sheet :confused1:
I got 3/4 of the way down and my mind went blank. The figures balanced as per the ETB
Do you think I'll get penalised badly for not knowing/remembering the layout?
I feel pretty confident about the rest of the exam and hope that this doesn't amek me fail... If I do, I'll know what it was :mad2:0 -

These are my answers for the last question in Task 1, I'm pretty sure I remember the figures still.
Sales 129,000 x 35% = 45,150 Gross Profit
129,000 - 45,150 = 83,850 COS
COS is comprised of Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock
SO if we know Opening STock is 15,200 and Purchases is 84,765 then Closing Stock must be 16,1150 -
