None of the above

because the shopkeeper actually lost 800 naira in total.
He has d 200 naira the lady paid, subtract it from what he just gave to his neighbor.

2000..

He was given 1000 and gave out change 800, The 1000 is bad and 800 naira is gone with customer . So he lost 1800 in financial exchange . If added the 200 naira worth of goods the customer took along, we should have a debit of 2000 naira.




Bad debt-1000
Misc- expenses-800
Bad\lost goods-200
=
2000

Mathematics and Accounting are two different areas.
This looks easy but it is not because everyone will arrive at a different answer…
A lady bought goods worth ₦200 and paid the shopkeeper with a ₦1000 Note.
The Shopkeeper had no change on him so he went to another Shopkeeper John his neighbour and collected ₦1000 change in ₦200 denominations, with which he settled the lady and she left.
A little while later, John came back angrily after he discovered the ₦1000 note he was given by the shopkeeper was fake, and demanded a replacement.
To avoid trouble, the shopkeeper had to give John another ₦1000 and destroyed the counterfeit which had no real value.
So Question for the geniuses…
How much has the Shopkeeper lost in total?
A. ₦1200
B. ₦2000
C. ₦1000
D. ₦1800
E. ₦2200
F. None Of The Above

lets see how smart u re

Modified..... Its 1k not 2000

If initially he had 3000 before the Customer arrive and he had change the customer want. He will have 3200 after transaction, where 1000 is a bad money and 200 is money for the goods. So when u tear the bad money u get 2200 and when u use the 200 to replace the goods u have 2000 naira left. So U only Lost 1 thousand.

Or put like these he didn't come with any money and u did not look for any change, All u did is give him goods and money worth 1k
