Hi Seema,
In my opinion, you should create 2 ledgers one for stock and another for expenditure, as illustrated below: -
Stock consumed A/c Or Office Stock A/c (For stock, you can use any other suitable name as well),
and Personal consumption A/c (For expenses)
Then Pass the following entry: -
Personal Consumption A/c (at cost)
To Office Stock A/c.
Impact: - With this your gross profit will not get affected, other wise due to shortfall in quantity and valuation your gross profit will get affected.
Further:
Why not Expenses A/c Dr To Sale A/c Entry Made
Impact: -
Ans: Your sales will get inflated (Though not higly in this instance) and will distort the true & fair view of accounting. Since they are not actual sales it will not be appropriate to book as Sales. Further it will affect decision making and so on...
