Answer 1

Answer:

$624, 750

Explanation:

Purchases = 900,000

Sales = 1500000

Price index = 110%

Inventory= 189750

1,500,000 - [{($150,000 x 110%) + $900,000} - $189,750]

=1,500,000 - [($150,000 x 1.1) + $900,000] - $189,750

= 1,500,000 - (1065000 - 189750)

= 1,500,000 - 875250

=$624,750

Gross profit. = $624750
