Hi
Can you help. I'm doing the Full Skills Test 2 in the BPP Assessment Kit book (Unit 5).
Task 8 (of Full skill test 2).
Entering the adjustments to the Trail Balance.
Stock in the original Trial Balance is DR £72,456.00 (date as at 31/03/2005).
The adjustment is because following vandalism many items had to be thrown away, so only a limited amount of stock was on the premises at 31st March, valued at a cost of £21,692.00
What are the adjustment entries?
In the answers at tha back of the book it has
Dr Stock £21,692.00
Cr Stock £21,692.00
Can anyone help as I just don't understand.
Thank you
Karen

Re:Stock - lost s through vandalism (Unit 5)
I think it's because stock is an asset, and will be a credit entry of the actual stock in the P and L and a debit entry in the balance sheet.0
