Dear Tutor,
I have a question about the Cost of Sales.
Example:
sales 58500
purchase 27485
opening inventory 922
profit margin 55%
take out some goods for own use 895
What is the closing inventory?
Do we substract the own use of 895 from cost of sales or not?
sales 58500 (100%)
cost of sales 26325 (45%)
opening inventory 922
purchase 27485
closing inventory ?
profit margin 32175 (55%)
Thank you in advance!
You subtract the drawings of 895 from the purchases.
So, 922 (Op. Inv.) + 27485 (purchases) – 895 (drawings) – closing inventory = 26325.
The closing inventory is the missing figure.
