Answer:
1.Gross profit realized during 2020 = $8645
2.The amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs = $29000
Explanation:
1. In 2020 Pretenders Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs at a cost of $59850 lump sum
The total number of chairs purchased per type is;
Lounge chairs 400
Armchairs 300
Straight chairs 700
Total number of chairs purchased = 400+300+700= 1400 chairs
In 2020, Pretenders sells
Lounge chairs 200 at $90 each = 200*90=$18000
Armchairs 100 at $80 each= 100*80 =$ 8000
Straight chairs 120 at $50 each = 120*50 =$600
Total selling price = $18000+$8000+600=$26600
Total number of chairs sold = 200+100+120 =420 chairs
Estimating the lump sum amount that 420 chairs could generate to the same manufacturer;
For 1400 chairs= $59850 ---lump sum amount
For 420 chairs=? ---apply cross product
(420*59850)/1400 = $17955
Selling price for 420 chairs = $26600
Gross profit realized during 2020 = $26600-$17955 =$8645
2.The amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs is the value of the inventory using the market value during that effective time.
The market value for straight chair =$50
Straight chairs remaining 580 at $50 each = 580*50 =$29000
