Answer:

The shrinkage as a percentage of sales is 1.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percentage of the sales that can be contributed to shrinkage, we first need to find the amount of shrinkage between the book value ($907,340) and the physical inventory ($875,435).  The difference between these two values is $31,905.  With this value of shrinkage, I then divide by the total amount in sales, which is $1,988,345.  This would give me an overall percentage of 1.6%, which represents the shrinkage as a percentage of sales.
