Working Notes:

  1. Calculation of Net Sales (including transfers)

 

Dept A

Dept B

  1. Sales

140,000

112,000

  1. Add: Transfer

35,000

40,000

  1. Less: Returns

(7,000)

(10,000)

  1. Net sales plus Transfer

168,000

142,000

 

  1. Unrealised Profit on Closing Stock:

Dept A = 4,800 x (46,000/142,000) = Rs.1,555

Dept B = 2,800 x (38,500/168,000) = Rs. 642

In the above solution, highlighted font represents the calculations which are not understood by me. Request you to help me out incase if you know the logic behind the calculation of unrealized profit on closing stock and closing stock figures.
