Question

. Kalamazoo Manufacturing (KM) started 2016 with $52,000 of merchandise on hand. During 2016, $280,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. KM paid freight charges of $9,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $4,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $316,000. KM uses a perpetual inventory system. What is cost of goods available for sale, assuming CBC uses the gross method?

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Cost of Goods sold :

if perpetual inventory system is used:

Opening inventory of merchandise = 52000

*Cost of Purcahses = 285000

Cost of goods sold = 337000

*Cost of Purcahse (if Gross method is used)

Purcahse Cost = $ 280000

+ Freight charges = $ 9000

- Returned Goods = $ 4000

= $ 285000
