Answer» Solution : *Gross PROFIT is `50%` on Cost that will be equal to `33(1)/(3)%` on Sales, Let the Cost of GOODS Sold = Rs. 100, Gross Profit = Rs. 50, Sales = Rs. 100 + Rs. 50 = Rs. 150. Gross Profit on Cost = Rs. 50/ Rs. 100 or 1/2, Gross Profit on Sales = Rs. 50/ Rs. 150 or 1/3 or `33(1)/(3)%` It means, Gross Profit `=(1)/(3)` of Sales =`(1)/(3)xx3,60,000=Rs. 1,20,000`. Nore: Carriage outwards will be debited to Profit and LOSS Account. |
