Data for Shelby Company for the current year is as follows:

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods sold is $7,700

Gross Profit is $2,300

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold is Cost of goods available for sale less ending merchandise inventory. Ending merchandise understated by $300 means ending merchandise was accounted $300 less. So, $300 need to be added to ending merchandise. No ending merchandise is $2,300 (2,000 + 300)

Cost of goods sold will be 10,000 - 2,300 = $7,700

Gross profit is sales revenue less cost of goods sold which is computed as shown below:

Gross profit = 10,000 - 7,700

                    = $2,300
