Thank you!!!

24 May 2010 It will not easy to predict the exat figure but u may determine the nearby amount by the following activity:-
1)You consider the amount of closing stock of past years
2)Production during the year
3)sale and sale return
4)If there is gap between actual and the physical,ask from the concerned authority

25 May 2010 As per your information, if GP is constant 25% then GP is 25% of 48 Lac = 12 Lac
Now closing stock should be opeing stock plus purchase plus direct exp plus gross profit minus sales i.e

= 6 + 34 + 12 - 38 = 4 lacs
i.e estimated cost of good pilfered = 4 lac - 3.25 lac = .75 lac.
