John incurred the following expenses : Godown rent Rs. 5,000 Insurance Rs.3,000, clearing charges Rs. 4,500. Insurance claim received against fire Rs. 4,00,000 after admitting the salvage value Rs. 10,000. John was entitled to commission of 10% on sale proceeds. value of closing stock to be credited to Consignment A / c = ?

The correct option is B Rs. 4,16,500
Closing stock (in numbers) $=$ Opening stock $-$ Goods lost in transit $-$ Goods sold

$=$ $2,000$ $-$ $500$ $-$ $1,000$

$=$ $500$

Cost price of closing stock $=$ number of closing stock $\times$ Cost price per unit

$=$ $500$ $\times$ $800$

$=$ $4,00,000$

Consignor's non recurring expenses for closing stock $=$ $20,000$ $\times \frac{500}{2,000}$

$=$ $5,000$

Consignee's non recurring expenses for closing stock $=$ (clearing carges $\times$ $\frac{500}{1,500}$) $+$ salvage charges

$=$ ($4,500$ $\times \frac{500}{1500}$) $+$ $10,000$

$=$ $11,500$

Therefore,

Value of closing stock $=$ Cost price $+$ Consignor's expenses $+$ Consignee's expenses

$=$ $4,00,000$ $+$ $5,000$ $+$ $11,500$

$=$ $4,16,500$
