Working Notes:
1. Credit Sales have not been given in problem. So, the balancing figure of Branch Debtor Account is
taken as credit sales.
2. Loading is 33 1/3% of Cost ; i.e. 25% of invoice value
Loading on opening stock = Rs.24,000 x 25% = Rs.6,000
3. Loading on goods sent = Rs.4,80,000 x 25% = Rs.1,20,000
4. Loading on Closing Stock = Rs.48,000 x 25% = Rs.12,000
5. Total Branch Expenses = Cash expenses + Bad debt + Discount allowed
= Rs.53,500 + Rs.1,500 + Rs.1,000 = Rs.56,000
33.33
6. Gross Profit: Total sales (at invoice price) – Goods returned by customers (at invoice price) x
100 + 33.33

{( Rs.1,80,000 + Rs.2,80,00 )− Rs.6,000 } × 33.33
