1. Calculation of Net Sales
Net Sales = Cost of Goods Sold + Gross Profit – Sales Return
or, Net Sales = Purchases + Manufacturing Expenses + Change in Inventory + Gross Profit – Sales Return
Net Sales (2016) = 80,000 + 20,000 +30,000 + 90,000 – 4,000 = ₹ 2, 16,000
Net Sales (2017) = 1, 40,000 + 50,000 – 60,000 – 30,000 – 80,000 = ₹ 92,000
2. Calculation of Finance Cost
Finance Cost = Interest on short-term loans + Interest on 10% Debentures
Finance Cost (2016) = 20,000 + 1,000 = ₹ 21,000
Finance Cost (2017) = 20,000 + 2,000 = ₹ 22,000
3. Calculation of Other Expenses
Other Expenses = Freight Outward + Carriage Outward + Loss on sale of office car
Other Expenses (2016) = 10,000 + 10,000 + 60,000 = ₹ 80,000
Other Expenses (2017) = 20,000 + 20,000 + 90,000 = ₹ 1, 30,000
