The shrinkage occurred during the month is $3,250

 

  • Shrinkage = Ending inventory on records - Physical count ending inventory
  • Shrinkage = (Beginning Inventory + Purchased Inventory - Sold Inventory) - Physical count ending inventory
  • Shrinkage = ($533,000 + $38,000 - $32,750) - $535,000
  • Shrinkage = $538,250 - $535,000
  • Shrinkage = $3,250
