[amp_mcq option1=”Only in Trading Account” option2=”Only in Profit and Loss Account” option3=”Both in Trading and Profit and Loss Account” option4=”Both in Trading Account and Balance Sheet” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: C. Both in Trading and Profit and Loss Account<\/strong><\/p>\n The loss of stock due to fire is an expense that should be deducted from the gross profit to arrive at the net profit. The insurance claim received should be credited to the profit and loss account as it reduces the net loss.<\/p>\n The loss of stock will also be shown in the trading account as a deduction from the cost of goods sold. This is because the stock that was lost is no longer available for sale.<\/p>\n The following is a detailed explanation of each option:<\/p>\n This option is incorrect because the loss of stock due to fire is also an expense that should be deducted from the gross profit to arrive at the net profit.<\/p>\n This option is incorrect because the loss of stock due to fire is also a deduction from the cost of goods sold in the trading account.<\/p>\n This option is correct because the loss of stock due to fire is both an expense that should be deducted from the gross profit to arrive at the net profit, and a deduction from the cost of goods sold in the trading account.<\/p>\n This option is incorrect because the loss of stock due to fire is not an asset that should be shown in the balance sheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Only in Trading Account” option2=”Only in Profit and Loss Account” option3=”Both in Trading and Profit and Loss Account” option4=”Both in Trading Account and Balance Sheet” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accounting","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
