Solution

The correct option is B Rs. 3,95,000
Cost of good per unit = Rs 800 per kg
Number of goods lost in transit = 500 kg
Cost of goods lost in transit = Cost of good per unit × Number of goods lost
= 800×500
= 4,00,000
Insurance received = 4,00,000
Expenses incurred on lost goods = 20,000×5002,000
= 5,000
Net loss on abnormal account = Cost of goods lost in transit + expenses incurred Insurance recieved
=4,00,000+5,0004,00,000=5,000.
