Solution
21: Company A
We know that cost of goods sold = opening inventory+purchase-ending inventory
Thus cost of goods sold = 52600+205300-52200 = $205700.
Now sales – cost of goods sold = gross profit. Thus sales – 205700 = 75300. Or sales = $281,000
Operating expenses = gross profit – income before tax = 75300-6000 = 69300
Thus (a) = 281,000. (b) = 205,700 and (c) = 69,300
Company B:
Gross profit = sales – cost of goods sold. Thus 128,000 = 343,400-cost of goods sold. Or cost of goods sold = 343400-128000 = $215,400.
Now cost of goods sold = opening inventory+purchase-ending inventory
Or 215400 = opening inventory+255600-108000
Or opening inventory = 215400+108000-255600 = 67800/
Income before taxes = 128000-50000 = 78000
Thus (d) = 67,800, (e) = 215,400 and (f) = 78,000
Company C:
Net purchases = cost of goods sold-opening stock+closing stock
= 437,000-90,000+63000
= 410,000
Gross profit = 540000-437000 = 103,000
Income before taxes = 103,000-48000 = 55,000
Thus (g) = 410,000, (h) = 103,000 and (i) = 55,000
