Answer:

purchases = 160000

Explanation:

given data

beginning inventory = $140,000

amount of inventory on hand = $80,000

net sales = $400,000

gross profit rate = 40%

solution

we first Computation of cost of goods sold  hat is

Gross profit rate = \frac{gross profit}{net sales} × 100

= \frac{gross profit}{400000} = = \frac{40}{100}

= 100 Gross profit = 16000000

so

Gross profit = 160000

and

Cost of goods sold is = sales - gross profit

so

Cost of goods sold = 400000 - 160000

Cost of goods sold = 240000

and

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

so put here value

240000 = 140000 + purchases - 60000

so purchases = 160000

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The inflation rate of return is 3.60%

Explanation:

As we know,

Inflation rate of return = {( 1 + nominal rate of return) ÷ ( 1+ real rate of return)} - 1

= {( 1 + 15%) ÷ (1+11%)} - 1

= (1.15) ÷ (1.11)} - 1

= 1.0360 - 1

= 0.360 or 3.60%

The inflation rate of return shows a relationship between the nominal rate of return and the real rate of return. We simply divide the nominal rate of return by real rate of return
