In 2018, ABC Co., a drone manufacturing company started the year with 25 drones in inventory and manufactured 65 drones during the year. In 2019, the company started the year with 10 drones and manufactured 110 drones within the year. Ending inventory in 2019 was 30 drones. For both years, the cost to manufacture one drone was $250 and the retail price for each drone was $500.
Calculate the following: a) Number of products sold in 2019 (0.5 pt) answer: __________
b) COGS (in $) in 2018 (1 pt) answer: __________
c) Gross profit (in $) in 2019 (1 pt) answer: __________
d) Increase in gross profit from 2018 to 2019, in % (1.5 pts) answer: __________
2018 2019 Beginning inventory ________ units ________ units
Production (additions to inventory) ________ units ________ units
Sales (removals from inventory) ________ units ________ units
Ending inventory ________ units ________ units
Let's solve one by one
a) number of products sold in 2019
= opening stock + manufactured - closing stock
=10 + 110 - 30 = 90
b) To find COGS first we have to find the number of products sold in 2018
applying same formula of above gives
Number of products sold = 25 + 65 -10 = 80
Cost of manufacture of one drone = $250
COGS in 2018 =80*250 = $20000
c) gross profit = sales - COGS
Sales in 2018 = 90 * 500 = $45000
COGS = 90 *250 = $22500
Gross profit in 2019 = $22500
d) gross profit in 2018 = sales - COGS
= (80*500) -(80*250) = 40000 - 20000 = $20000
Gross profit in 2019 = $22500
Increase in gross profit = 22500 -20000 =2500
%of increase =(2500/20000)*100 =12.5 %
