Question

At the beginning of the year, ACME had an inventory of $600,000. During the year, the company purchased goods costing $2,250,000. If ACME reported ending inventory of $750,000 and sales of $3,000,000, their cost of goods sold and gross profit rate would be

Answer 1

Answer:

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $2,100,000

Gross Profit rate = 0.3

Explanation:

The formula for computing COGS (cost of goods sold) is as

COGS (cost of goods sold) = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

where

Beginning inventory amounts to $600,000

Purchases made during the period is $2,250,000

Ending inventory is $750,000

So, putting the values above:

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $600,000 + $2,250,000 - $750,000

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $2,850,000 - $750,000

COGS (cost of goods sold) = $2,100,000

The formula for computing Gross Profit rate is as:

Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit / Net Sales

where

Gross Profit is computed as:

Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS

= $3,000,000 - $2,100,000

Gross Profit = $900,000

Net Sales is $3,000,000

So, putting the values above:

Gross Profit rate = $900,000 / $3,000,000

Gross Profit rate = 0.3
