Answer 1

$40,000

Explanation:

Answer 2

Cost of goods available for is equal

80000+160000=240000

Retail value is equal

100000+200000=300000

This means that the cost of goods sold is 80% (240000÷300000) and gross profit is 20%

Sales= 250000 and it's cost is equal 200000 (250000×0.8)

Ending inventory

=240000-200000=40000...answer

Hope it helps!
