The CFO of Conrad, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of the day. What is the amount in the finished goods inventory at the beginning of the year?

Answer 1

$20,915

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the beginning finished goods inventory is shown below:

As we know that

Cost of goods sold = Opening finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - closing finished goods inventory

$66,500 = Opening finished goods inventory + $61,410 - $15,825

So, the opening finished goods inventory is

= $66,500 - $61,410 + $15,825

= $20,915
