To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we need to add the purchases, returns inwards, and carriage inwards to the opening stock.
The given information states:
Purchases: D160,000
Returns inwards: D620
Carriage inwards: D740
Opening stock: D14,100
To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we add these amounts:
D160,000 + D620 + D740 + D14,100 = D175,460
Therefore, the cost of goods available for sale is D175,460.
| Drawings: |
₦ |
| Dairo | 12000 |
| Segun | 18000 |
| Capital: | |
| Dairo | 120000 |
| Segun | 60000 |
- Interest on drawings 10%
- Interest on capital 5%
- Profit for the year ₦36,000
- Salary: Segun ₦10,000
Segun's share of profit is
₦12,000
₦21,400
₦14,600
₦16,400
Correct answer is A
Interest on drawings = 10%
- Dairo = 10% x 12,0000
= ₦1200
- Segun = 10% x 18,000
= ₦1800
Interest on capital = 5%
- Dairo = 5% x 120,000
= ₦6,000
- Segun = 5% x 60,000
=₦3,000
Salary: segun = ₦10,000
Segun's share of profit = (Net profit + int on drawings) - ( int on capital + segun salary )
= (36000 + 1200 + 1800) - ( 6000 + 3000 + 10000)
= 39000 - 19000
= 20,000
Total ratio = 2+ 3
= 5
Therefore, Segun share of profit = 3 /5 x 20000
= ₦12,000
