Solution

To calculate the value of cost of sales and closing stock under the Current Purchasing Power (CPP) method, we need to adjust the values for inflation using the general price index.

  1. Adjust Opening Inventory: Opening inventory is adjusted by the end of year index for 2021. Adjusted Opening Inventory = Opening Inventory * (2021 end index / 2020 end index) = 60,000 * (200 / 100) = 120,000

  2. Adjust Purchases: Purchases are adjusted by the average index for 2021. Adjusted Purchases = Purchases * (2021 average index / 2020 end index) = 414,000 * (150 / 100) = 621,000

  3. Calculate Cost of Goods Available for Sale: Cost of Goods Available for Sale = Adjusted Opening Inventory + Adjusted Purchases = 120,000 + 621,000 = 741,000

  4. Adjust Closing Inventory: Closing inventory is adjusted by the end of year index for 2021. Adjusted Closing Inventory = Closing Inventory * (2021 end index / 2020 end index) = 54,000 * (200 / 100) = 108,000

  5. Calculate Cost of Sales: Cost of Sales = Cost of Goods Available for Sale - Adjusted Closing Inventory = 741,000 - 108,000 = 633,000

So, under the CPP method, the cost of sales is 633,000 and the value of the closing stock is 108,000.
