Q
The merchandise available for sale cost a company $90,000 and was marked to sell at a retail price of $125,000. Sales during the period totaled $80,000. If the retail method is used, the estimated cost of the ending inventory is
$32,400.
$12,600.
$22,400.
$45,000.
A

32400

Explanation:
90000/125000 = 70%
70% x 80000 = 57600
90000 - 57600 = 32400.

Q

On July 1, a tornado destroyed the warehouse where The Brooks Boys Sports Equipment Company stored their inventory. The inventory was, for the most part, carried away by the force of the storm. The usual gross profit rate for the company was 30%. The beginning inventory of $220,000 was recorded on the prior year’s financial reports. The net sales to date are known to be $886,450, and net purchases (including freight-in charges and purchases returns) were $580,000.

Using the gross profit method of inventory valuation, determine the value of the inventory that was destroyed.

A

179,485

Explanation:
Estimated ending inventory $179,485. If the usual gross profit rate is 30%, COGS is 70% or $620,515. COGA totaled $800,000.
