Question

Dakota Company had net sales (at retail) of $260,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

$35,860  

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is shown below

Particulars                      Cost          Retail

Opening Inventory(A)   $63,800    $128,400

Purchases(B)                 $115,060    $196,800

Goods available

C=(A-B)                         $178,860     $325,200

Cost ratio

($178,860 ÷ $325,200 × 100) 55%  

Sales at retail (D)                            $260,000

End, Inventory at Retail                     $65,200

($325,200 - $260,000)

End, Inventory at Cost    $35,860  

($65,200 × 55%)
