The ending inventory is $21,000.

Answer 1

Gross Profit: 186,000 - 154,700 = 31,300

COGS: 154,700

Net Sales: 186,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Beginning Inventory 18,700

Purchases 154,000

Freight-In 8,000

Purchase Returns and Allowances (5,000)

Ending inventory (21,000)

COGS 154,700

Sales Revenue 190,000

Sales Returns and Allowances (3,000)

Freight-Out (1,000)

Net Sales: 186,000

Gross Profit: 186,000 - 154,700 = 31,300

Notes: the freight-in are cost required to get the inventory ready for sale so arec capitalized through inventory

the freight-out is part of the effort to sale, thus decrease the sales figure.
