Computation of the estimated inventory at retail on a LIFO basis
Cost ($)
Beginning inventory 16,800.00 24,800.00
Purchases 50,800.00 79,800.00
Freight - in 4,300.00 -
Purchase returns (3,500.00) (4,400.00)
Add: Net markups - 2,900.00
Less: Net markdowns: - (5,900.00)
Goods available for sale (excluding beginning inventory) 51,600.00 72,400.00
Goods available for sale (including beginning inventory) 68,400.00 97,200.00
Less: sales
Net sales 72,400.00
Add back employee discount 2,500.00 (74,900.00)
Ending inventory, at retail 22,300.00
Answer: The actual cost of materials was less than the standard cost
Explanation:
Net materials cost variance = Favorable materials price variance + Favorable materials quantity variance
= 380 + (-120 unfavorable)
= 380 - 120
= $260 favorable
<em>As the materials cost variance is favorable, it means that the actual cost of materials was less than what was budgeted for it or rather its standard cost. </em>
I think the taxes would decrease but increase for the company

In the given question GP ratio will be 53.4%
Here Net sales= 296000 $
Cost of goods sold= 138000 $
average inventory= 50000 $
Gross profit= Net sales- Cost of goods sold
=296000-138000
=158000
Formula for calculating Gross profit ratio is:
Gross profit/ Net sales *100
= 158000/296000*100
=53.4%
Gross profit ratio is a financial ratio which measures the performance and efficiency of a business by dividing its gross profit by the total net sales. The gross profit ratio can also be expressed in the form of percentage by multiplying the result by 100.
