Yes.. Its 55000.. Coz profit for 2011 will be 100000 according to unchanged profit margin.. in 2010 opening stock + purchase= 30000+325000=355000 and sales + closing stock= 400000+35000=435000, profit = 435000-355000=80000. Profit margin on sale is 80000/400000*100=20% as given in problem, profit ratio remains same.. In 2011 profit will be 100000 ie 20% of sale.. closing stock+sale=(O.stock + purchase + profit) closing stock=35000+420000+100000-500000=55000.. Hope i m right.. |

Mr. Vijay, Look at the question carefully, one of the data is given that you want. Closing stock of the year 2010 is given. It will be the same as opening Stock of year 2011 i.e. Rs. 35000.
Step by step Solution:
Profit for the year 2010 = Cl Stock + Sales - Op Stock - Purchases
= 35000+400000-30000-325000
= Rs. 80000.
Profit Margin on Sales = Profit / Sales*100%
= 80000/400000*100%
= 20%
Since, profit Margin for the both year is same, Profit margin for the year 2011 ia also 20%.
So, Profit for the year 2011 = Sale * Profit Margin
= 500000*20%
= Rs. 100000
So, Closing Stock for the year 2011 = Purchase + Op Stock + Profit - Sales
= 420000+35000+100000-500000
= Rs. 55000
Hence, Closing Stock for the year 2011 is Rs. 55000.
@ Harish Kumar: Hope you got what you want.

According to Yajendra Adhikari Sir,
It is simple calculation and formula si GP Ratio = Grossprofit /Sales *100

I year - (Closing Stock + Sales) - (Opening Stock + Purchase) = GP which is always a % on Sales ( here remained unchanged)
II year - Sales - (Opening Stock + Purchase + Sales *GP% for GP) = Closing Stock

In Question it is clearly written "Profit Margin will remain unchanged. Profit margin is GP/ Sales and thus we came to know that we have to calculate 20% of Sales as G.P.
