A/c Dr. To Mr. A's A/c as a result of the above sales return, sales will reduce and the stock will increase. the stock will be divided into two parts- physical stock and stock with B Ltd. . keep in mind stock with B Ltd,. can not be considered as sales. hence B Ltd's A/c can not be debited with the amount of goods lying with it on behalf of the first mentioned Co.
