Solution

The correct option is D Rs. 7,000
Cost of Goods sold = Total sale - Profit margin on sale= (50000+80000-30000) - (33.33 x (50000+80000-30000) ÷ 133.33)
= 100000 - 25000
= 75000

Opening Stock = Closing Stock + Cost of goods sold - purchase + purchase return
= 12000 + 75000 - 90000 + 10000
= 7000
