Answer:
$82,580
Explanation:
We can calculate the estimated amount of inventory destroyed in the flood by deducting the cost of goods sold by the cost of goods available for sale.
DATA
Beginning Inventory = $215,950
Inventory purchased = $192,730
Sales = $543,500
Calculation
Inventory destroyed Iestimated) = Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold
Inventory destroyed Iestimated) = $408,680 - $326,100
Inventory destroyed Iestimated) = $82,580
Working
Cost of Goods available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Inventory purchased
Cost of Goods available for sale = $215,950 + $192,730
Cost of Goods available for sale = $408,680
Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross Profits
Cost of Goods Sold = $543,500 - ($543400 x 40%)
Cost of Goods Sold = $
326,100
