The correct answer is that the trade creditors account is credited 300.000 while the inventory account is debited 240.000. This is because the company purchased goods for resale, so it incurred a liability to the vendor (trade creditors account) for the full purchase amount of 300.000. The company also acquired an asset (inventory) worth 240.000, which represents the cost of the goods. Additionally, the company paid VAT of 60.000, which is a liability (input VAT account) that is fully deductible. Thus, the input VAT account is debited for 60.000.Rate this question:

When goods are returned for resale, the inventory account should be debited to increase the inventory value, as the company now has more goods available for sale. At the same time, the cost of goods sold account should be credited to reduce the expense associated with the goods that were originally sold but are now being returned. This reflects the fact that the company did not actually incur the cost of selling those goods. Therefore, the correct answer is: The inventory account (asset) is debited 45.000 while the cost of goods sold account (profit/loss) is credited 45.000.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

The correct answer is that the inventory account (asset) is credited 392.000 while the cost of goods sold account (profit/loss) is debited 392.000. This is because the cost of goods sold represents the cost of the inventory that has been sold, and it needs to be recorded as an expense in the profit and loss statement. By debiting the cost of goods sold account, the expense is recorded, and by crediting the inventory account, the value of the inventory is reduced.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. The inventory account (asset) is credited 107.000 while the impairment of inventory account (profit/loss) is debited 107.000.Explanation
When inventory becomes impaired and can no longer be sold, it needs to be written down to its net realizable value. In this case, the net realizable value is 13,000. To record this, the inventory account (asset) needs to be credited for the decrease in value, which is 107,000 (120,000 - 13,000). At the same time, the impairment of inventory account (profit/loss) needs to be debited for the same amount to reflect the loss in value. Therefore, the correct answer is: The inventory account (asset) is credited 107,000 while the impairment of inventory account (profit/loss) is debited 107,000.Rate this question:
