28 November 2017 Mr. Raja, here is the solution given in the book (it's a 2 mark question):

4,00,000 – 80% [(80% of 1,00,000) – 20% 80,000] = `3,48,800

28 November 2017 Sorry for the late reply... How I calculate the sum.... The SALE VALUE Rs. 1lakh "SALE VALUE". I take it as billing value. 80000 * 25% = 20000 + 80000 = 100000... Stock in Hand Rs. 320,000 Material reversed 20% @ 16000 + 320,000 = 336,000.... We consider / understand the word of "SALE VALUE"....!!! Am I correct...??!

28 November 2017 Thanks for replying Mr. Raja P M. Exactly same concept I applied. Taking Rs.80,000/- as the CP for "Goods sent on Sale or Return basis". My answer is also same as yours. But then why book's answer is coming different? What logic are they applying? Is their answer wrong?
