    Solution

    Cost of goods Sold =Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock      (1) In this case G.P. (Gross Profit) = 10% on sales = 10% of Rs. 50,000/ = 5,000/- Means cost of goods sold = Sales – Profit on sale =50000-5000 =45000           (2) Now from (1) & (2) 45000 = 70000 + 40000 – Closing Stock Or Closing Stock = 65,000/-
