Prepare the Sales Book and Sales Account for these credit sales with 10% trade discount: Falgun 1 sold to ABC Co. 15 electric heaters @ Rs 1,000 each and 10 table fans @ Rs 500 each; Falgun 28 sold to XYZ Co. 20 small tables @ Rs 700 each and 25 chairs @ Rs 400 each.

Answer

Falgun 1: ABC Co. gross Rs 20,000, less 10% trade discount Rs 2,000, net credit sale Rs 18,000. Falgun 28: XYZ Co. gross Rs 24,000, less 10% trade discount Rs 2,400, net credit sale Rs 21,600. Total credit sales for the period = Rs 39,600, so Sales A/c is credited by Rs 39,600 ("By Sundries as per Sales Book").

Explanation

What you are preparing

You have two credit sales invoices, and each invoice gets a 10% trade discount on the total of the items. In the Sales Book (Sales Day Book) you record the gross amount, discount, and net amount for each customer.

Calculate each invoice total (gross, discount, net)

Falgun 1, sold to ABC Co.

  • Electric heaters: $15 \times 1{,}000 = 15{,}000$
  • Table fans: $10 \times 500 = 5{,}000$
  • Gross invoice total: $15{,}000 + 5{,}000 = 20{,}000$
  • Trade discount @ $10\%$: $20{,}000 \times 10\% = 2{,}000$
  • Net credit sale: $20{,}000 - 2{,}000 = 18{,}000$

Falgun 28, sold to XYZ Co.

  • Small tables: $20 \times 700 = 14{,}000$
  • Chairs: $25 \times 400 = 10{,}000$
  • Gross invoice total: $14{,}000 + 10{,}000 = 24{,}000$
  • Trade discount @ $10\%$: $24{,}000 \times 10\% = 2{,}400$
  • Net credit sale: $24{,}000 - 2{,}400 = 21{,}600$

Sales Book (Sales Day Book)

Date Particulars Details (Qty × Rate) Gross (Rs) Trade Discount @10% (Rs) Net Amount (Rs)
Falgun 1 ABC Co. Heaters $15\times 1{,}000=15{,}000$; Fans $10\times 500=5{,}000$ 20,000 2,000 18,000
Falgun 28 XYZ Co. Tables $20\times 700=14{,}000$; Chairs $25\times 400=10{,}000$ 24,000 2,400 21,600
Total 44,000 4,400 39,600

Sales Account (Ledger posting)

In the ledger, Sales A/c is credited with the total net credit sales from the Sales Book.

Sales Account

Date Amount (Rs) Date Amount (Rs)
Falgun (period end) By Sundries as per Sales Book 39,600

(Separately, you would debit ABC Co. Rs 18,000 and debit XYZ Co. Rs 21,600 in their personal accounts, but the question only asks for Sales Book and Sales A/c.)
