    GOLD BULLION
                                     
           Appreciates in value with passage of time


Companies could be engaged in manufacturing gold bullion ( refinery)  and  trading in bullion on wholesale basis  locally and globally. Bullion is pure 999 karat purity of gold. Bullion can be in bars of sizes 1 kilo bar, 1 Ten Tola Bar (116.64 grams) or 1 ounce (28.3495 grams) and even in minted coins. 

A total of 174,100 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, according to GFMS as of 2012. The world consumption of new gold produced is about 50% in jewelry, 40% in investments, and 10% in industry. 


GOLD JEWELRY

 Appreciates in value with passage of time



Gold Jewelry generally available is

  •  18 karat (0.750 purity) 
  •  22 karat (0.916 purity) 
  • 24 karat  is 100% purity 

Companies could be 

  • manufacturing gold jewelry or and 
  • trading in gold jewelry on wholesale and retail
  • as standalone stores or 
  • as chain of stores locally and globally 


Where gold jewelry and bullion are traded on unfixed basis, it gives rise to a  complexity of accounting the Dollars receivable for making charges on the gold jewelry as well as  the grams receivable from the customer. 


Hence the trial balance and the party ledgers are generated in Dollars as well as in grams in a customized software...... there is no other business in the world which generates such a trial balance !!!
