Calculation of unrealized profit on closing stock

 

Stock reserve of dept J:

 

Cost

30,000

Transfer from Dept I

30,000

Total

60,000

Stock of Dept J

20,000

 

Proportion of stock of Dept I = 20,000* 30,000/60,000 = 10,000

 

Stock Reserve = 10,000*20/120 = 1,667

 

Stock reserve of dept K:

Stock transferred from Dept J

5,000

Less: profit (Stock Reserve) 5,000*20%

1,000

Cost to Dept J

4,000

 

Proportion of stock of Dept I = 4,000*30,000/60,000 = 2,000

Stock reserve = 2,000*20/120 = 333

 

Total stock reserve = 1,000 + 333 = 1,333

 

 

In this problem my question is about logics behind calculation of inter-departmental transfer and stock reserve calculation. Please tell me how the above highlighted figures are arrived at along with logic behind it.

 

Thank You !
