Solution
Sure, here are the journal entries for the transactions:
03 March: Debit: Cost of Goods Sold (500 units @ R2.90) = R1,450 Credit: Inventory = R1,450
05 March: Debit: Inventory (800 units @ R3.30) = R2,640 Credit: Cash = R2,640
08 March: Debit: Cost of Goods Sold (400 units @ R2.90 + 500 units @ R3.20) = R2,980 Credit: Inventory = R2,980
11 March: Debit: Inventory (650 units @ R3.35) = R2,177.50 Credit: Cash = R2,177.50
12 March: Debit: Cost of Goods Sold (250 units @ R3.20 + 500 units @ R3.30) = R2,575 Credit: Inventory = R2,575
16 March: Debit: Inventory (700 units @ R3.40) = R2,380 Credit: Cash = R2,380
Please note that the Cost of Goods Sold is calculated based on the FIFO method, which means that the oldest inventory (the one that was purchased first) is sold first.
