    Harry’s annual inventory count took place on 6 Jan 20X6.
    The value of inventory on this date was $ 32,780.
    During the period from 31 Dec 20X5 to 6 Jan 20X6, the
    following events occurred:

    Sales $8,600
    Purchases $4,200
    The value of inventory at 31 Dec 20X5 was $ 34,600.
    What is the gross margin of Harry?

    The Answer is 30%.
    Solution :
    Sales at Selling price $8,600
    Sales at Cost price $6,020
    Profit $2,580

    (2580/8600)*100 = 30%

    Can you please explain to me how do we get the Sales at Cost Price?

    The cost of sales = opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory.

    So 34,600 + 4,200 – 32,780 = $6,020
