Hello sir! Can you please help me with this question? Catt sells goods at a margin of 50%. During the year to 31 March 20X3 the business made purchases totalling $134,025 and sales totalling $240,000. Inventories in hand at 31 March 20X3, valued at cost, was $11,385 higher than the corresponding figure at 1 April 20X2. What was the cost of the goods Catt had drawn out? A $2,640 B $14,590 C $25,410 D $37,360

The cost of sales was 50% x 240,000 = $120,000. Of the purchases figure of 134,025, 11,385 went to increasing the inventory, which leaves $122,640. Therefore the owner must have taken out 122,640 - 120,000 = $2,640.
