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..

it all are going over my head......i didn't understand it......how u calculate.....??

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.

All clear but confusion in 20%.....

how we know that we use this formula

Profit Margin on Sales = Profit / Sales*100%

please clear my doubts...........

Dear Harish ,yagendra is right .

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

The closing stock is Rs 55000 and the above method is right

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.
