Cost Retail Beginning inventory $362,797 $286,000 Purchases 1,370,000 2,145,000 Markups 95,100 Markup cancellations 14,800 Markdowns 32,900 Markdown cancellations 5,100 Sales revenue 2,193,000 Compute the inventory by the conventional retail inventory method.

Answer 1

Answer:

$200,455

Explanation:

For calculating the inventory by the conventional retail inventory method. we required to do the following computations which are shown below:

Using cost method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases

= $362,797 + $1,370,000

= $1,732,797

Using retail method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases  + Net markups - Net markdowns

= $286,000 + $2,145,000 + $80,300 - $27,800

= $2,483,500

Now

Cost to retail ratio = $1,732,797 ÷ ($286,000 + $2,145,000 + $80,300)

                             = $1,732,797 ÷ $2,511,300

                             = 0.69

Now

Estimated ending inventory at retail

= Goods available for sale under Retail method - Sales revenue

= $2,483,500 - $2,193,000

= $290,500

So,

Estimated ending inventory at cost:

= Estimated ending inventory at retail × Cost to retail ratio

= $290,500 × 0.69

= $200,455
