C) $50,000. D) $48,000.

Explanation / Answer

Solution 13:

Sale from Jan 1 to Jul 8 = $700,000

Gross profit ratio = 30%

Cost of goods sold from January 1 through July 8 = $700,000 - $700,000*30% = $490,000

Estimated inventory on July 8, immediately prior to fire = Beginning inventory + Purchases - COGS

= $130,000 + $640,000 - $490,000 = $280,000

Hence option D is correct.

Solution 14:

Inventory cost of supplies = $48,000

Net realizable value = $60,000 - 10% of $60,000 = $54,000

As cost is lower than NRV therefore supplies should be valued at $48,000

Hence option D is correct.

Solution 1:

The largest expense in retailers income statement is "Cost of goods sold"

Hence option B is correct.

Solution 2:

Total cost of goods available for sale = (40*$100) + (70*$80) + (170*$60) = $19,800

Total units available for sale = 40 + 70 + 170 = 280 units

Average cost per unit = $19,800 / 280 = $70.71 per unit

Ending inventory using average cost methond = $70.71 * 10= $707 (rounded off)

Hence option C is correct.

Solution 3:

Ending inventory under FIFO will consist of purchase from 170 units, hence

Cost of ending inventory = 10 * $60 = $600

Hence option D is correct.
