Forecast the 2019 Cost of goods sold on the previous year’s number and the assumptions 2018 Actual 2019 Estimate Sales Growth 6% 8% Gross Margin 40% 40% Revenues 50,000 Cost of Goods Sold 27,000
Data given:
2018 |
2019 |
|
actual |
estimates |
|
Sales Growth |
6% |
8% |
Gross Margin |
40% |
40% |
Revenue |
50000 |
|
COGS |
27000 |
it is estimated that the revenue will increase by 8% |
so the sales for 2019 |
= 50000*108% |
=54000 |
Gross margin of 2019 = Profit/sales
= 0.40= profit/54000
Gross Profit of 2019= 54000*0.40= 21600
Profit= Revenue-COGS
= 21600= 54000- COGS
COGS of 2019 = 54000-21600
= $32400
So the cost of goods sold for the next year is forecast to be $32400.
