A department store has budgeted sales of 12,000 men's coats in September. Management wants to have 6,000 coats in inventory at the end of the month to prepare for the winter season. Beginning inventory for September is expected to be 4,000 coats. What is the dollar amount of the purchase of suits if each coat has a cost of $75? Each suit has a cost of $75.

Answer 1

Answer: $1,050,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The dollar amount of the purchase of suits if each coat has a cost of $75 can. Be calculated as thus:

Budgeted sales = 12000

Add: sales inventory = 6000

Less: September beginning inventory = 4000

Required purchase for September will now be:

= 12000 + 6000 - 4000

= 14000

The dollar amount will be:

= 14000 × $75

= $1,050,000
