Working Notes:

1. Calculation of Net Purchases and Change in Inventory 

Net Purchases of stock in Trade = Cash Purchases + Credit Purchases - Purchases Returns

2013 = 120000 + 150000 - 4000 = Rs 266000

2014 = 40000 + 60000 - 6000 = Rs 94000

Change in Inventory = Opening Stock - Closing Stock

2013 = 30000 - 45000 = Rs (15000)

2014 = 60000 - 100000 = Rs (40000)

2. Calculation of Finance Cost

Finance Cost = Interest on Bank Overdraft + Interest on Debentures

Finance Cost (2016) = 5,000 + 20,000 = Rs 25,000

Finance Cost (2017) = 0 + 20,000 = Rs 20,000

3. Calculation of Other Expenses

Other Expenses = Carriage outward + Manufacturing expenses + Other operating expenses

Other Expenses (2016) = 10,000 + 35,000 + 20,000 = Rs 65,000

Other Expenses (2017) = 30,000 + 80,000 + 10,000 = Rs 1,20,000
