Test your understanding 2
The trading position of a simple cash-based business for its first week of
trading was as follows:
$
Capital introduced
by the owner
1,000
Purchases for cash
800
Sales for cash
900
At the end of the week there were goods which had cost $300 remaining
in inventory.
Write up the ledger accounts for the first week and then prepare a
vertical statement of profit or loss (i.e. sales revenue, costs of sales
and gross profit).
Clearly show the closing inventory asset that would be shown on
the statement of financial position at the end of the first week.
You will need to set up two inventory T-accounts: one for inventory
assets and one for inventory within cost of sales.
