  1. ₦7,000\text{₦}7,000Cevap
  2. B
    ₦8,400\text{₦}8,400
  3. C
    ₦35,000\text{₦}35,000
  4. D
    ₦49,000\text{₦}49,000

Cevap

₦7,000\text{₦}7,000
To find the unrealized profit in closing inventory valued at invoice price, convert the mark-up of 20%20\% on cost into a margin on selling price: 20100+20=20120=16\frac{20}{100 + 20} = \frac{20}{120} = \frac{1}{6}. Multiplying 16\frac{1}{6} by the closing inventory at invoice price (₦42,000\text{₦}42,000) gives ₦7,000\text{₦}7,000. This amount represents the unrealized profit loading to be credited to the Stock Reserve Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the mark-up percentage on cost to a margin fraction on invoice price.
Mark-up=20%=15  ⟹  Margin=15+1=16\text{Mark-up} = 20\% = \frac{1}{5} \implies \text{Margin} = \frac{1}{5 + 1} = \frac{1}{6}
Since closing stock is given at invoice price, the profit element must be calculated using profit margin on selling price.
2
Multiply the profit margin by the closing inventory value at invoice price.
\text{Stock Reserve} = \frac{1}{6} \times \text{₦}42,000 = \text{₦}7,000
The stock reserve eliminates unrealized profit from branch closing inventory to reflect true cost in the combined financial statements.
