Cost of goods sold is Rs1,20,000 Gross Loss : 1/4th on sales what is the amount of sales?
The correct option is C Rs96000
Cost of goods sold (COGS) is
the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold in a company.
This amount includes the cost of the materials used in creating the good along
with the direct labor costs used to produce the good. It excludes indirect
expenses such as distribution costs and sales force costs.
Gross
profit is the profit a company makes after
deducting the costs associated with making and selling its products, or the
costs associated with providing its services. Gross profit will appear on a company's income statement, and can be
calculated with this formula:
Let the sales be x. Therefore,
gross loss = 1/4 of sales i.e., (1/4) * x or 0.25x and cost of goods sold = 1.25x
Cost of goods sold =
Rs. 120000
Sales
= Cost of goods sold + Gross profit (-Gross loss)
X
= 1.25x - 0.25x
X=
Rs.120000 - 0.25x
X + 0.25x = Rs.120000
1.25x
= Rs.120000
X
= Rs. 120000 / 1.25 = Rs. 96000

X = Rs. 120000 / 1.25 = Rs. 96000
