Company sells mobile for 100 and profit margin is 50. The customer returns it back for exchange and buys a mobile worth 200 where the profit margin is 100. Customer mobile after usage is valued at 30. So the profit is now 0. If the company has only two mobiles made and sold, the entries will be
Dr. Inventory 200
Cr. Income statement 200 inventory valued at cost.
After exchange
Dr. Inventory 130
Cr. Income statement 130 inventory valued at cost
Then to assess the profitablity
Dr. Exchange loss 70
Cr. Receivablez 70
For cash sales
Dr. Exchange loss/ salez 70
Cr. Bank. 70 bank because you spent money from bank on production. This bank entry is a depiction.
Sale can be recorded as
Dr. Inventory 30
Cr. Sales 30
Because sales is recorded at net of taxes and discounts.
I hope i got it right. But what happened to the profit margin? Thats because we sell inventory at cost for profit and sales will be impacted but no impact on tax losses. Now im ready for opprobrium.
