HI, I THINK ENTRY WILL BE:-

(1) CLINT'S A/C ..............DR.(100LTR)

                  TO SALES A/C(100LTR)

(2) LOSS IN TRANSIT A/C (OR,SALES A/C)................DR(5LTR)

                  TO CLINT'S A/C(5LTR)

 

 

 Hi Rupesh... Thanks for Reply

What is Clints A/c

The Loss is not due to Business Activities. It is due to Operational Activities. I can not Treat that 5Lts in Revenue because it will increase Revenue but no cash will be realised.

Suppose if i consider Loss in Transit, it is consider as trading loss. So shall i consider it as Tarading loss. Is it Correct Treatment What i said

hi, when u depatch materials out of our unit, u have to raise the invoice. As u mentioned, when the tank  reached to customer, it was only then found that the material is less than what delivered. so according to me, what u have to raise bill with full value and after the confirmation from the party a credit note should be given to the party.

Thanks & Regards

i thought normal loss have no accounting entry

entry only if it is abnormal loss

there is always a fixed percent of normal loss on sale of goods... but if loss is higher than that limit it will be charged to P&L as an abnormal loss .. else there is no entry for normal loss.....

hey guys its normal loss.. trading account is dealing with the trading activities.. so wat are goods coming and wat are going that will be come under trading acount and loss due to likerage you are showing in the pl..

AFTER GIVING MY EARLIER ENTRY, GIVE THE EFFECT OF LOSS IN TRANSIT(NORMAL LOSS) IN THE VALUTION OF CLOSING STOCK,YOUR CLOSING STOCK WILL BE INCREASED BY NORMAL LOSS AT THE END OF YEAR.

Normal Loss due to evaporation in the Petro Chemical Business is inevitable and is incidental to carrying on the business.

In my opinion - The Cost of the units received should be inflated to the extent that they cover up for the lost units. Eg: Cost of 100 Ltr - Rs. 5000. Lost in Transit 5 Ltr. So the Total Cost of 95 units (100-5) should be 5000. The per unit cost (in this case per litre) will then stand inflated automatically. It was Rs.50 per Litre (Rs.5000/100) before adjustment. After adjustment the per litre cost will stand inflated at Rs. 52.63 per liter (Rs.5000/95).
