Quick Summary
This discussion explores the accounting entries for a 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' (BOGO) promotion. Participants debate whether to treat the free item as a sale or an advertising/business promotion expense. The consensus leans towards impacting the Sales account and closing stock, with potential consideration for whether the initial price was inflated to cover the 'free' item.

One as a sale and another one may be adjusted in advertisement/ business promotion exp


Business promotion exp a/c Dr
To Sales
Why purchase a/c is not credited ??
Are you seller or buyer ?
Seller
Then purchase a/c has no relevance..

Sales A/c and closing stock will be affected and exp has to be booked

Indas revenue recognition has it. Buy one and demand one for free. I forgot the treatment, get back to you

I've searched for it online and couldn't find the accounting treatment. Sry

But being a seller, it is part of sale one must see is the price hiked twice ?
