Answer 5

Acme Co. built their warehouse in a place where tornadoes frequently occur. On January 27 of the current year, a tornado destroyed the warehouse and all of the inventory it contained. Acme Co. hired you to calculate the cost of the inventory using the gross profit method. They give you the following data to help you:

Purchases $900,000 Purchase Returns $30,000

Sales $600,000 Transportation-In $12,000

Sales Discounts $25,000 Purchase Discounts $20,000

Beginning Inventory $85,000

The company also informed you that their gross profit rate has been 25% over the past 5 years. Calculate the value of the lost inventory.

 

—————————————————————————————————-Net purchases= purchases +inward transportation-returns-discounts

=900000+12000-30000-20000

 

=862000

 

Net sales=sales-discount

=600000-25000

=575000

 

So, Cost of goods sold= net sales/125*100

= 575000/125*100

=460000

 

Let closing inventory be “X”

So, Cost of goods sold=opening inventory+ purchases-closing inventory

= 460000=85000+862000-X

So, X = 487000

So, the closing inventory as per gross profit method is $ 487000.
