Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The profit for the year 2020-21 needs to be adjusted. An undervalued closing stock reduces the gross profit, so it must be added back. Adjusted profit for 2020-21 = 75,000 + 10,000 = 85,000.Total profit = 85,000 + 1,20,000 + 50,000 = 2,55,000.Average Profit = 2,55,000 / 3 = Rs. 85,000.
