2. find cogs - gm% = (sales-cogs)/sales
3. find ending inventory by GAS-COGS
Present Value of an Annuity Formula
PVA = PMT x PVA (n,i)
n = periods
i = interest rate
PAYMENT = ANNUITY
Future Value of Lump Sum Formula
FV = PV x FV (n,i)
Straight Line Depreciation Formula
(historical value - salvage value)/(useful life)
Gain or Loss on Sale Entries
Gain = credit
Loss = debit
Net Book Value
Historical value - depreciation
Periodic Inventory System

FIFO
First In First Out
the first costs into inventory are the first out to cost of goods sold. Ending inventory reflects the most recent units purchased
Has the highest net income
LIFO
Last In First Out
The last costs into inventory are the first out to COGS, ending inventory reflects the oldest inventory unit costs
Has lower taxes because more expensive
Weighted Average
Average of all invetory items available for sale
GAS/Number of units
Inventory turnover Equation
COGS/Average inventory
Average Inventory Equation
