Answer 1

Answer:

$56,400

Explanation:

Jefferson company has a sales of $306,000

The cost of goods available for sale is $270,600

The first step is to calculate the gross profit

= 306,000 × 30/100

= 306,000 × 0.3

= 91,800

The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows

= $306,000-91,800

= $214,200

Therefore the estimated cost of ending inventory under the gross profit method can be calculated as follows

= $270,600-214,200

= $56,400
