Crane Pet supply uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $795800 ($979700), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $3185800 ($4138300), freight-in on these purchases totaled $190700, sales during the current year totaled $4036000, and net markups (markdowns) were $5900 ($287900). What is the ending inventory value at cost?
Cost | Retail | ||
Beginning inventory | 795800 | 979700 | |
Add: Purchases | 3185800 | 4138300 | |
Add: Freight-in | 190700 | ||
Add: Mark-up | 5900 | ||
Goods available for sale | 4172300 | 5123900 | |
Cost to retail ratio (4172300/5123900) | 81.4% | ||
Less: Sales | -4036000 | ||
Less: Mark-down | -287900 | ||
Ending inventory at retail | 800000 | ||
Ending inventory at cost = Ending inventory at retail x Cost to retail ratio | |||
Ending inventory at cost = 800000 x 81.4% = 651,200 |
Therefore, ending inventory value at cost is $651,200.
