Jefferson Company has sales of $320,000 and cost of goods available for sale of $272,100. If the gross profit ratio is typically 30%, the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be:
$96,200
$48,100
$176,100
$47,900
$96,000
Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / net sales
0.30 = Gross profit / 320,000
Gross profit = 320,000* 0.30
Gross profit = 96,000
Cost of goods sold = 320,000 - 96,000 = 224,000
Ending inventory = Cost of goods available for sale - cost of goods sold
Ending inventory = 272,100 - 224,000 = $48,100
So, Ending inventory = $48,100
