Rate of Gross Profit (on sales) = 25%

Gross Profit = 25% of (1,000 + 9,000) = 2,500

Gross Profit = Net Sales – Cost of Goods Sold

2,500 = 10,000 – Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold = 10,000 – 2,500 = ₹ 7,500

Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Purchases + Direct Expenses – Closing Stock

7,500 = Opening Stock + (1,600 +6,400) + 0 – 1,700

Opening Stock = 7,500 – 8,000 + 1,700 = ₹ 1,200
