since u have received bill for Rs.100..the correct accounting treatment is Alternative 1...the goods in transit are part of closing stock

yes, u should for option 1

It depends on fact and circumstances of the case. If risk and reward pertaining to goods in transit is transferred then entry should be made as per alternative 1, otherwise alternative 2.

agree with hemal

I think, GIT has to be accounted under Purchases in profit and loss account.
