Purchase  price 150
less : discount 10 -15
Net Purchase Price 135
     
Purchase Cost  67500
(500 * 135)  
Add :- Excise 6000
(500 * 12)    
TOTAL   73500
Add :- Sales Tax @ 5% 3675
Net Purchase Cost  77175
Add :- Direct Expenses 1500
(1000+500)  
TOTAL    78675
Less :- Excise  6000
Purchase Cost (AS-2) 72675

For calculation of Sales tax , you need to add excise first, calculate total purchase cost then deduct amount of excise already added since MODVAT for the same is available...now this resultant figure wil be your purchase cost as per AS - 2

ls this right ?

Yes Vamshi Vuppala, your answer is correct. The solution above is wrong. Excise comes into picture only in production or manufacture. This is purchase.
