Sheridan uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $395000 ($599000), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $2155000 ($3400000), freight-in on these purchases totaled $134000, sales during the current year totaled $3100000, and net markups (markdowns) were $77000 ($113000). What is the ending inventory value at cost? Hint: Round intermediate calculation to 3 decimal places, e.g. 0.635 and final answer to 0 decimal places.
Ending inventory at cost = $ 560519
Cost | Retail | ||
Beginning Inventory | $ 395000 | $ 599000 | |

Ending inventory at retail | $ 863000 |
Explanation:
Cost:
Merchandise available for sale:
= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Fright-in
= $395,000 + $2,155,000 + $134,000
= $2,684,000
Retail:
Merchandise available for sale:
= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Markups
= $599,000 + $3,400,000 + $77,000
= $4,076,000
Retail total = $4,076,000
Ending inventory at retail = Retail total - Markdowns - Net sales
= $4,076,000 - $113,000 - $3,100,000
= $863,000
Computation of Cost to retail ratio
Cost-to-retail ratio is equal to the total cost of goods available for sale divided by the retail value of goods available for sale.
Cost to retail ratio = cost of goods available for sale / retail value of goods available for sale.
= $2,684,000 ÷ ($3,100,000 + $863,000 )
= $2,574,000 ÷ $3,963,000
= 64.95%
Retail value of goods available for sale. = Net Sales + Ending inventory at retail = 3100000 + 863000 = $ 3963000
Ending inventory at retail = $863,000
Computation of Ending inventory at cost
Ending inventory at cost = Ending inventory at retail x Cost to retail ratio
Ending inventory at cost = $863,000 × 64.95%
= $ 560519
