    The answer given for mini excercise question no. 2 is 58,333. I think it is not a correct answer.

    My answer is 39,000.

    Beg Inv + Purchase – CGS = End Inv.
    X+400,000-(450,000/1.15)=1.3X
    400,000-391,000=13.X-X
    9,000=0.3X
    X=30,000
    End inv. = 1.3 Beg Inv = 30,000X1.3 = 39,000

    X + 400,000 – 1.3X = 450,000 * .15

    Revenue was 450,000

    Gross profit is 15% * 450,000 = 67,500

    Therefore cost of sales is 382,500

    X + 400,000 – 1.3X = 382,500

    So 17,500 = .3X

    And X = 58,333

    The question tells you that the 15% is gross margin, not mark-up

    OK?
