Just trying to go through this practice exam and failing at first hurdle! Does anyone know how to get that cost of sales amount of £25804. I can only come up with £29404. Where is the £3600 difference coming from?

Please help..

I don't have the question paper infront of me so I cant confirm the figues

to work out cost of sale


Opening stock x

plus purchases x
less purchase returns -x x

plus carriage in x

less Closing stock - x

equals COST OF SALE X

see if the above proforma works for you?

this is what i got from beavis,


The calculation is cost of sales is 60% of 5% (buildings) which is 3%. Use this 3% to work out the depreciation of the building cost.

(buildings is 81778 less 41778 = 40,000)

so 3% of 40,000 is 1200

Do the same with Plant and equipment. ie. 60% of 25% which is 15%.

15% of 16000 is 2400

1200 + 2400 = 3600

This figure goes in the calculation of gross profit.

I hope this helps your figures out. It took me a while to work it out, good luck
