Others 3494 views 8 replies

PLEASE HELP ME IF ANYBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER

I WAS STUDYING THIS CHAPTER & I FOUND ONLY ONE DOUBT IN THIS CHAPER WHICH IS

SALES FOR JAN & OCTOBER WERE 1 & HALF TIMES THE AVERAGE MONTHLY SALES WHILE SALES FOR DEC. WERE TWICE THE AVERAGE MONTHLY SALES.
THE CO. WAS INCORPORATED ON 1 MAY 2006 TO TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS OF DEF & CO.
ACCOUNTS R CLOSED ON 31st DEC.

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO CALCULATE SALES RATIO.
THNX IN ADVANCE.

Let the Average Sales be 'X'

So the Sales for Jan and Oct will be 1.5X. The Sales for Dec will be 3X. and for the rest of the months the sale will be X.

Now in Pre-Incorporation period sales will be 1.5X+X+X+X = 4.5X

And in Post In-corporation period sales will be X+X+X+X+X+1.5X+x+2X= 9.5X

Therefore ratio will be 4.5X=9.5X

Sales ratio = 4.5 : 9.5 

                    = 0.9 : 1.9
