Explanation / Answer

Beginning merchandise inventory = $75,000

Purchases = $15,800


$75,000 - $15,800 = $59,200


Cost of merchandise available for sale = $59,200


(2) Net sales = $65,000

Cost of merchandise sold $45,500


$65,000 - $45,500 = $19,500


Gross profit on sales = $19,500


(3) Net purchases = $25,500

Transport in = $3,400


$25,500 + $3,400 = $28,900


Cost of delivered merchandise = $28,900


(4) Sales = $120,000

Sales return of allowances = $12,000


Remember allowances are basically discounts, so the company is losing money.


$120,000 - $12,000 = $108,000


Net sales = $108,000


(5) Gross profit = $20,200

Operating expenses = $16,400


$20,200 - $16,400 = $3,800


Net profit = $3,800
