    Transfer price = cost + 25% ⇒ profit = 25% of cost

    Let cost = 100
    Then transfer price = 125
    Profit = 25

    Profit as % of transfer price = 25/125 =20%

    Stock with B = Rs. 10,000 (at transfer price)

    Stock reserve = unrealized profit = 20% of 10,000
    = Rs. 2,000

    Correct answer: B. Rs. 2,000

    Goods are transferred at cost + 25%
    So, if cost = 100 → transfer price = 125

    👉 Profit = 25 on 125
    👉 Profit % on transfer price =

    25
    125
    =

    =20%
    🔹 Step 2: Calculate Stock Reserve

    Closing stock with B = Rs. 10,000 (includes profit)

    Unrealized profit = 20% of stock:
