5. On 31st December, 2009 goods sold at a price of Rs.45,000 were lying with a customer, to whom these goods were sold on ‘Sale or Return Basis’ and recorded as actual sales. Since no consent was received from him, the adjustment entry was made presuming goods were sent on approval at a profit of cost + 20%. In the balance sheet the stock with customers A/c will be shown at

(a)    Rs.45,000

(b)    Rs.36,000

(c)    Rs.37,500

(d)    None of the above.

When Cost = 100, Sale Price at 20% of Cost is 100+100x(20/100)= 120. So, when sale price is 45000, Cost = (100/120) x 45000= 37500. Option C is correct
