Answer 1

Answer:

A. Ending Inventory = $58,000

B. Purchases = $67,900; Cost of goods sold = $79,700

C. Beginning Inventory = $39,000; Cost of goods sold = $128,700

Explanation:

The following statement is used to calculate cost of goods sold:

Beginning Inventory

Add: Purchases

Cost of Goods Available for Sale

Less: Ending Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold

Requirement (A)

Beginning Inventory                         = $81,100

Add: Purchases                               = $98,900

Cost of Goods Available for Sale   = $180,000

Less: Ending Inventory                    = $58,000   (Note - 1)

Cost of goods sold                          = $122,000

Note - 1

Cost of Goods Available for Sale - Ending Inventory = Cost of goods sold

$180,000 - Ending Inventory = $122,000

or, - Ending Inventory = $122,000 - $180,000

Therefore, Ending Inventory = $58,000

Requirement (B)

Beginning Inventory                        = $48,100

Add: Purchases                               = $67,900 (Note - 2)

Cost of Goods Available for Sale   = $116,000

Less: Ending Inventory                    = $36,300  

Cost of goods sold                          = $79,700 (Note - 3)

Note - 2

Beginning Inventory + Purchases = Cost of Goods Available for Sale

or, $48,100 + Purchases = $116,000

or, Purchases = $116,000 - $48,100

Purchases = $67,900

Note - 3

Cost of Goods Available for Sale - Ending Inventory = Cost of goods sold

$116,000 - 36,300 = Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold = $79,700

Requirement (C)

Beginning Inventory                        = $39,000  (Note - 4)

Add: Purchases                               = $119,000

Cost of Goods Available for Sale   = $158,000

Less: Ending Inventory                    = $29,300  

Cost of goods sold                          = $128,700

Note - 4

Beginning Inventory + Purchases = Cost of Goods Available for Sale

or, Beginning Inventory + $119,000 = $158,000

or, Beginning Inventory = $158,000 - $119,000

Beginning Inventory = $39,000
