Question

During 2020, Vaughn Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs. The manufacturer sells the chairs to Vaughn for a lump sum of $161,595 because it is discontinuing manufacturing operations and wishes to dispose of its entire stock. Three types of chairs are included in the carload. The three types and the estimated selling price for each are listed below.

Type	Number of Chairs	Estimated selling Price
lounge chair	1,080	$90
armchair	810	80
straight chair	1,890	50

During 2020, Vaughn sells 540 lounge chairs, 270 armchairs, and 324 straight chairs.

What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020? What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020? (Round cost per chair to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.25 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,845.)
