The following information is available for October for Clarita Company. Beginning inventory $350,000 Net purchases 1,050,000 Net sales 2,100,000 Percentage markup sales 66.67% A fire destroyed Clarita's October 31 inventory, leaving undamaged inventory with a cost of $21,000. Using the gross profit method, the estimated ending inventory destroyed by fire is approximately $679,000. O $119,000. O $560,000 O $700,000.
Correct option is "A" -679000
Cost of goods sold = Net sales [1- % markup on sales]
= 2100000 [1- .6667]
= 2100000* .3333
= 699930
Now,
Cost of goods sold =Beginning inventory + net purchases- ending inventory
699930 = 350000 + 1050000- Ending inventory
699930 = 1400000- Ending inventory
Ending inventory = 1400000-699930
= 700070
Ending inventory destroyed by fire = Ending inventory - undamaged inventory
= 700070 - 21000
= 679070 (rounded to 679000)
