Agree with SAN
agree with san
So, What will be the Gross equation in this case...?,
As per my opiinion it should be Gross Profit=Sales+Closing Inventory-Opening Inventory - Purchase(Less Return)
What will be the journal entry for the loss of goods by fire?
Loss of goods by fir a/c dr.
to purchases a/c
Loss by Fire A/c is Debited and Purchases A/c is credited. The goods destroyed by fire is a loss for the business and is considered in the Nominal Account. Hence according to the rules of Nominal Account, the expenses and losses are debited. Therefore the loss by fire is debited in the Journal Entry.
Hope this answer helps!
