Explanation:

Cost of Goods Sold

Ranns Supply use the perpetual inventory system. This means that cost of goods sold is calculated after every sale agreement.

In this case Cost of Sales figure reported at company`s year end can be calculated using missing figure approach in the Income Statement

Calculation of the Cost of Sales figure is as follows:

Net Sales $2600000 - Gross Profit $15000000 = $1100000

Merchandise

The merchandise account records assets of inventory in hand during the year.

The Merchandise used during the year should match with the cost of sales figure.But if the figure is lower than the cost of sales figure, then inventory was written down to its replacement value in terms of IAS 2.

Calculation of Merchandise in Hand is as follows:

Purchase of Merchandise $9500000 - Shrinkage During the year $10000000 - Write down of Inventory $1000000 = $ 84000000
