Answer 1

A. $60,000

Step-by-step explanation

Calculation for what the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be

First step is to calculate the Gross profit

Gross profit= $300,000 *30%

Gross profit= $90,000

Second Step is to calculate the cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold=$300,000-$90,000

Cost of goods sold= $210,000

Last step is to calculate the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method

Using this formula

Estimated cost of the ending inventory=

Cost of goods available for sale- Cost of goods sold

Let plug in the formula

Estimated cost of the ending inventory=$270,000-$210,000

Estimated cost of the ending inventory=$60,000

Therefore the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be $60,000
