Answer»

Solution :
Note 1. Gross Profit is 1/3rd of Cost = 1/4th of Sales
Let Cost = RS. 100, Gross Profit = Rs. `33(1)/(3)`, Sale = Rs. `133(1)/(3)` or `(Rs.400)/(3)`
`"Gross Profit on Sales"=("Rs.100/3")/("Rs.400/3")or(100)/(3)xx(3)/(400)=(1)/(4)`
`THEREFORE"Gross Profit"=(1)/(4)" of Sales"=(1)/(4)xx"Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 12,500"`
2. Closing Stock will be the Balancing Figure.
3. Indirect expenses are not CONSIDERED for this purpose as these expenses are taken to Profit and LOSS Account.
