Opening stock of stationery = ₹15,000
Closing stock of stationery = ₹30,400
During the year ₹56,800 is paid to creditors.
Stationery purchased in cash during the year was 20% of the total purchase of stationery.
What will be the amount of cash purchases of stationery?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is option 2- ₹16,000.
Payment made to creditors = 56,800
Add: closing creditors = 11,800
Less: Opening creditors = 4,600
Stationery purchased on credit = 56,800 + 11,800 - 4,600
= 64,000
Let the total purchases is x
Cash purchases is 20% of x means x/5
Credit purchases is 80% of x means 4x/5
x/5 + 64,000 = x
4x/5 = 64,000
x = 64,000 X 5/4
= ₹80,000
Cash purchases = Total purchases - credit purchases
= 80,000 - 64,000
= ₹16,000
