If you give goods as sample it is business promotion expenditure.
Journal entry.
Business promotion A/c Dr xxxx
To Sales A/c xxxx
(Being goods given as samples.)
This will inturn increase expenses and increase income. Actually there is no need for entry. But we need it for the purpose of internal control and Showing Proper GP Ratio. Who ever maintains inventory also in books then they have to pass this entry.

Dear Sathya
Goods distributed as sample, goods lost, goods taken for personal use and distributed for charity are always recorded at cost. So it is better to credit Trading a/c or purchases account instead of Sales account. Entry is made at cost.

This is so becouse these transactions are not made with any intention to earn profit.

it is better to credit the purchase a/c instead of crediting the trading a/c.
