    I’m having trouble calculating the opening & closing stock on Mini Exercise Questions – Cost of sales Q2

    Sales of $450k with gross margin of 15%
    Gross profit (450 x 15%) $67.5
    Cost of sales $382.5

    Purchases $400k
    Closing stock 30% higher than opening stock?

    I’m having trouble working out the opening & closing stock?
    From the book the answers are:
    opening stock =$58.33
    Closing stock = $75.83

    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Let “X” be the value of the opening inventory

    Go from there
