    a fire on 30 september destoryed some of a company’s inventory and its inventory records.

    The following information is available:

    inventory 1 september $318000
    sales for september $612000
    purchase for september $412000
    inventory in good condition at 30 september 214,000
    standard gross profit percentage on sales is 25%
    based on this information gross profit percentage on sales is 25%
    based on this information what is the value of the inventory lost?

    318,000 Opening Inventory
    (489,600) Cost of goods sold (80% of Sales for the month)
    412,000 Purchases

    240,400 Closing Inventory before loss
    (214,000) Actual Closing Inventory
    26,400 Inventory lost

    I don’t agree
    If gross profit percentage on sales (not on cost of sales) is 25% then Cost of goods sold – 75%
    => 318-459(612*0.75)+412-214=57

    Agree with Bokatov:

    $ $
    Opening Inventory: 318000
    +Purchased goods: 412000
    Less:
    Sales: 612000
    -Gross Profit: (153000)
    (459000)
    271000

    => If Total Inventory in Good condition is 214000, inventory lost =
    271000
    Less: (214000)

    Total Inventory Lost = 57000
