Using the Gross profit method, compute estimated inventory loss based on the following information:
Sales: 660,000
Purchases: 425,000
Freight in: 25,000
Beginning Inventory: 130,000
Gross Margin%: 30%
Answer----$118000
Sales |
$ 6,60,000.00 |
Gross profit % |
30% |
Gross profit |
$ 1,98,000.00 |
Cost of Goods sold(660000-198000) |
$ 4,62,000.00 |
Beginning Inventory |
$ 1,30,000.00 |
Add: Purchases |
$ 4,25,000.00 |
Add: Freight |
$ 25,000.00 |
Subtotal (A) |
$ 5,80,000.00 |
Less: Cost of goods sold as calculated above (B) |
$ 4,62,000.00 |
Loss of Inventory (A-B) |
$ 1,18,000.00 |
