Answer:
261,690
Explanation:
The computation of inventory is shown below:-
Particulars Cost Retail Cost-to-Retail Ratio
Beginning inventory $250,000 $286,000
Add Purchases $672,000 $888,000
Freight-in $14,000
Net markup $26,000
Total $936,000 $1,200,000
Less: Net markdowns $4,500
Goods available for sale $1,195,000
Cost-to-retail percentage 0.78 (in working note)
Less: Net sales $860,000
Retail Estimated ending
inventory $335,500 ($1,195,000 - $860,000)
At cost Estimated ending
inventory $261,690
Cost-to-retail percentage is
= 936,000 ÷ 1,200,000
= 0.78
Estimated ending inventory at cost is
335,500 × 0.78
= 261,690
