Solution
Trading account is trading – cost of sale = gross profit.
1. Value added tax means sales tax.
o If price of one unit is 117 and out it 17 is tax. It means owner has 100.
o An accounting standard says, if you have deducted an amount on behalf of someone
else, it is not your revenue. Sale is always recorded at net.
So, owner will record 100 in sales instead of 117.
So, entry will be
Cash (debit) 117
Sale (debit) 100
Sales tax payable (credit) 17
o However, question says “sales exclusive sales tax.” Means sales tax is already deducted.
So, same figure of sale will be used.
Main point
We paid 2,340,000 to supplier and 17% of it is sales tax which he has to pay to the
government.
o We will record purchased on cost because tax is adjustable. (Means it can
be returned)
It says 17% sales tax is included in this purchase.
o Adjustable tax will not be added in the cost of the asset. If it was non-
refundable, we would include it.
o So, we have to subtract it.
o We can do this as
Assume total purchase (including tax) is 117%. And original
purchase is 100%.
We can find it using formula.
2. It transportation cost will be included in cost of purchase.
3. Polishing cost will also be included in cost of purchase.
o Drawings are recorded at average rate (cost). But we did not had that rate and closing
stock.
Than we will record closing stock.
