DA Form 4702-R example filled out, example: one month of gasoline
A fuel clerk files DA Form 4702-R for one month. Gasoline opens at 1000, receives 500 and issues 400, so the closing book balance is 1100. The picture shows page 1, and its names and figures are sample values. The count finds 1090, so Monthly Gain/Loss is 10. Maximum Allowable Gain/Loss for Gasoline & JP-4 is 1500 x .01, which is 15.
