Answer:
Freight in = $8,800
Working note:
Beginning merchandise inventory | $18,000 |
Endind merchandise inventory | $10,800 |
Cost of goods sold | $190,000 |
Total cost of merchandise purchase | $182,800 |
Cost of goods sold = Beginning merchandise inventory + Total cost of merchandise - Ending merchandise inventory
$190,000 = $18,000 + $182,800 - $10,800
The total cost of merchandise purchase = Invoice cost of purchases - purchase discount received - Purchase returns and allowances + Freight in.
$182,800 = $188,000 - $10,000 - $4,000 + Freight in
= $182,800 = $174,000 + Freight in
Freight in = $182,800 - $174,000 = $8,800
