Answer 1

Answer:

7. $41,000

Explanation:

7. The company has $40,000 of inventory on December, it further purchased $36,000 of inventory in January. The sales in January amounted to $50,000 out of which 30% is gross profit. The cost of goods sold will be $35,000. The inventory that is destroyed by fire $41,000 ($40,000 + $36,000 - $35,000 ).
