Answer 1

Purchases= $252,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $400,000

Cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales.

Beginning inventory= $80,000

Ending inventory= $72,000

To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= (400,000*0.65) + 72,000 - 80,000

Purchases= $252,000
