Zorluk: OrtaTreatment of Owner's Capital, Drawings, and Goods Withdrawn

Kola, a sole trader, recorded total purchases of ₦2,450,000₦2,450,000 for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. During the year, Kola took goods costing ₦65,000₦65,000 (with a retail selling price of ₦85,000₦85,000) from the business for personal family use. If no adjustment has been made for the withdrawn goods, what is the adjusted purchases figure (in ₦₦) to be reported in the Trading Account?

Cevap: 2385000 ₦

Cevap

The adjusted purchases figure to be reported in the Trading Account is ₦2,385,000.
When a sole trader withdraws goods for personal use, the double entry requires debiting Drawings Account and crediting Purchases Account at cost price (₦65,000₦65,000). The adjusted purchases figure included in the Trading Account is calculated by subtracting the cost of withdrawn goods from unadjusted purchases (₦2,450,000−₦65,000=₦2,385,000₦2,450,000 - ₦65,000 = ₦2,385,000).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the appropriate valuation for goods withdrawn by the owner.
The cost price of ₦65,000₦65,000 must be used, not the selling price of ₦85,000₦85,000.
A business entity does not realize profit on goods consumed by its owner; therefore, withdrawals are measured strictly at cost.
2
Calculate the adjusted purchases figure for the Trading Account.
₦2,450,000−₦65,000=₦2,385,000₦2,450,000 - ₦65,000 = ₦2,385,000.
Deducting goods withdrawn from total purchases ensures that cost of sales reflects only goods available for sale to external customers.
