Sorry for the return to the supplier, you said the opposite thing in the FIFO video for perpetual, you said returns go to receipts because we are not purchasing anything, please clarify.

[@chondedoriskalyoti1029]

Returning to the supplier goes in the issues box that's what he said under fifo
When the customer returns it goes in the receipt box

Thank you, now I understand it better but how about if the units were sold on credit, how do record that ?

[@leahfowler4053]

Thanks for this. If I had to calculate the cost of sales and ending inventory, would it just be a matter of summing the "Amount" column for each Issues and Balance?

[@kiduaalute603]

Good thanks

[@edwardmailstudios4881]

Good tutorials, many tutorials only show sample on purchase and sales of good but never return of goods to vendor. From here, I have 3 questions which I need your help
1. How to calculate the average price of good return from the production floor to the warehouse
2. How to calculate the average price if there is a quantity adjustment due to the result of stock audit
3. How to calculate the average price if there is product disposal due to damage, and throw it away
4. Is the unit price tax included or tax excluded

[@reabetsoe4085]

Explained it better than my lecturer

[@nobuhledubazana1693]

hello sir....do we still have to calculate new WAC if customers are the ones that return inventory to the entity?

[@yassirrashid5422]

Hello Mr..One question I need to ask you please..why the return of inventory to supplier under FIFO method we put in the issues column while under weighed average here we put this return to supplier in the receipts column?

[@sabelongcobo2845]

Thanks you it was really helpful. If may I ask how do you calculate unit cost of closing inventory?

[@lorenzomeyer7242]

What about if you have to Factory Return units already issued?

[@PrincessePrincesse-io7nj]

How do we calculate the profits from the FIFO and LIFO methods?

[@cynthiamuiru4799]

Is it correct to say that if the goods were returned to stores that would be a receipt?

[@petekhrietuozuyie9060]

Sir what about the
Return to stores (from the issue)

[@tiesonelson319]

Can you explain the LIFO method please..

[@koeutthom9563]

Hi, sir Which column should we record if the customer were returned?

[@esihlemabhulu4095]

How do we calculate weight average method when we are given two balances??

[@keishavanneel]

How do I calculate purchases using FIFO and AVCO?

[@yngburger8146]

I have a question, how come under FIFO a return to the supplier is issued but here a return to the supplier is a receipt?

[@thulisiyoko8229]

Good day, thank you so much this really helps. how to calculate if company has a 20% markup on cost?

[@Counttuts]

Good day, due to the volume of requests for help regarding student specific questions, we are not able to address them on this platform. However, you can request a session at reasonable rates with us at [e-mail] to address your challenges with the subject.

[@Neoon386]

How purchase and sales return affect this method?
Please answer ASAP.

[@nilesandsam]

Good day and thank you for this. Could you happen to provide instruction how one would show the adjustment for cost after paying for a purchase that then has a purchase discount? I am taking a course online through our local college where this question comes up but the instructor refuses to provide example. There is no answer in the text and no example in any of the 600+ pages. I am very frustrated. While I know the math it never gives an example as to how this is documented in the Inventory sub-ledger and I am at the point of being physically ill from the lack of explanation. I have searched google, searched youtube, searched the texts and yet no example to be found. Yours was the ONLY example of a purchase return and I am so grateful for it but this is one that has many in the dark.

[@luckysenyolo9806]

Thank you for the great lersons which once is my total sales amout if I'm asked to calculate gross profit sir?

[@Counttuts]

You will need to be given the selling price and information to calculate your sales.

[@thapelomatshabe5917]

What do we do when there's sales return?

[@shairamarcelino9864]

How about if you have sales return and allowances?

[@Counttuts]

Then you deduct the returns and recalculate the average cost.

[@kwanelephilasande575]

[@Counttuts]

Good day, yes we do. Please do contact us at [e-mail]
