Question

Bach Co. had an inventory balance of $15,250 on January 1, purchased $34,000 during the accounting period, and the cost of goods sold was $28,000. What is the ending balance in the inventory account (the cost of ending inventory)

Answer 1

$21,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the ending balance in the inventory account

Using this formula

Cost of goods sold =​ Opening Inventory + Purchase during the year - Ending balance of inventory

Let plug in the formula

$28,000 = $15,250 + $34,000 - Ending balance of inventory

Ending balance of inventory = $49,250 - $28,000

Ending balance of inventory = $21,250

Therefore the ending balance in the inventory account is $21,250
