Explanation:

There are few missing values which are calculated using back solving technique. These values are bold and underlined. Playa Company has missing information for its three year accounts.

Available for sale = Beginning inventory + Net Purchases

Cost of Goods Sold =  Cost of good available for Sales - Ending inventory

Ending inventory = Cost of Goods available for Sales - Cost of Goods Sold.

Net purchases = Gross purchases + Freight in - Purchase discount - Purchase return
