Explanation / Answer

Workings:

Calculation of Closing Inventories

It is given in the question, that Gross Margin= 50% of Net Sales

= 50% of 400000= $ 200,000

Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold= Total Goods Available - Closing Inventories= 250,000-50,000= $ 200,000

Income Statement

Note:

1. It is assumed that Total Goods Available are inclusive of Opening Inventories

2. An alternative to calculate Cost of Goods Sold is given below:

We know that Gross Margin is 50% of Net Sales, that is 50% of the Selling Price

Thus, if the Selling Price is 10, Gross Margin = .50*10 = 5

Thus Cost of the Product = Selling Price- Gross Margin= 10-5= 5

No. of Units Sold= Net Sales/Selling Price= 400,000/10= 40,000 units

Thus, Total Cost of Goods Sold = Total Units Sold* Cost of Product= 40,000*5= 200,000

Particulars Amonut ($) Total Goods Available 250,000 Add: Gross Margin 200,000 Less: Net Sales 400,000 Closing Inventories 50,000
