Assuming gross profit is 40% of cost, compute an estimate of Jay Company’s ending inventory.
a.Gross Profit = 40% of sales
Cost of goods sold = 400,000*60% = $240,000
Beginning Inventory + Purchases - ending inventory = Cost of goods sold
80,000 + 230,000 - ending inventory = 240,000
ending inventory = $70,000
b.Cost of goods sold = 400,000/140% = $285,714.29
Ending Inventory = $24,285.71
