Explanation / Answer

A trading account is primarily an account that enables an individual or other party to buy and sell securities, however it can also hold not only stocks, but also cash, securities and many other types of investments. There are two types of trading account: 1. Margin Trading Account A margin account involves a line of credit from your brokerage firm and this allows you to buy stocks or other securities and/or options if you so desire 2. Cash Trading Account: A cash account means that you can place trades for the investments using only the amount of money in your account Carriage Inwards   Carriage inwards refers to the transportation costs associated with the purchase of merchandise or other assets. It is a direct cost for the organisation and is included in the cost of goods sold. In other words gross profit is derived after deducting carriage inward. Carriage Outward Carriage outwards is the expense of that a seller incurrs when it sells the goods to the buyer. This cost is the operating cost for the organisation, in other words it is not deducted for determining gross profit, but after gross profit while determining the Net Profit.
