Purchase on account, June 30 230 34 d. Cash sale, August 1 ($44 each) (55 )

Answer 1

Answer:Inventory on hand Balance at the end = $4620

Explanation:

The question is unclear with regards to the requirements. however having dealt with questions of this nature in the past, I will assume the question requires us to calculate the cost of inventory on hand.

Opening Inventory balance = 180 x $28 =$5040

Purchased inventory = 290 x $30 = $8700

Cash sale (330 x $44) = $14520

Purchase inventory (230 x 34 ) = $7820

Cash sale (55 x $44) = $2420

Inventory on hand Balance = 5040+ 8700 - 14520 + 7820 - 2420

Inventory on hand Balance at the end = 4620 = $4620
