(Round your answer to the nearest​ cent.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$40.875

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling Expenses = $ 9,600

Merchandise Inventory on December 31 = 33,000

Merchandise Inventory on January 1 = 47,000

Purchases of merchandise = 83,500

Rent for store = 12,100

Sales commissions = 7,300

Sales revenue = 168,500

Cost of goods sold:

= Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchase - Ending merchandise inventory

= $47,000 + $83,500 + $33,000

= $163,500

If Crabapples sold 4,000 boxes of dry fruit during the​ year, then the cost per box of dry fruits is:

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Number of boxes sold

= $163,500 ÷ 4,000

= $40.875
