Answer: The answer is 1950000
Explanation:
✓ Goods in transit on December 31, 2008:
Goods amounting to 100000 will be added into purchases of the year-end because they have already been sold as risk and rewards have been transferred to the Barlow that is goods have been physically dispatched to the Barlow. Hence this will increase accounts payable by 100000.
✓Goods in transit lost:
These words will also be included in the purchases and accordingly in the accounts payable irrespective of the fact that these have been destroyed. These goods were dispatched to the Barlow and therefore risk and rewards also been transferred hence purchase is done from Barlow's perspective.
So:
Total accounts payables are as under
Opening balance: 180000
Goods in transit reached next year:100000
Goods in transit lost:50000
Total: 1950000
