Answer:
The answer is $243,000
Explanation:
The inventory on July 8 immediately prior to the fire is the CLOSING INVENTORY.
To find this closing inventory, we need to find the gross profit first and then cost of sales.
To find gross profit:
Gross profit margin=gross profit ÷sales.
Gross profit margin is 20% or 0.2
Sales is $690,000
Therefore, gross profit is:
0.2 x $690,000
=$138,000
To find cost of sales:
Gross profit = sales - cost of sales.
Gross profit is $138,000
Sales is $690,000
Therefore, cost of sales is
$690,000 - $138,000
=$552,000.
And finally to get closing inventory:
Cost of sales = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory.
Cost of sales = $552,000
Opening inventory = $140,000
Purchases = $655,000
Closing inventory = $140,000+$655,000-$552,000
=$243,000.
