Explanation / Answer

Part 1 - Calculation of inventory under Conventional retail method

$885668

($962468-$58800-$18000)

$1376800

($1455600 - $78800)

COST TO RETAIL PERCENTAGE =

(Cost of goods available /Original retail price of goods available, plus net markups)*100

= ($1178365/$1841200)*100 = 64%

Estimated theft and Loss From Breakage

($7900+$4500)

Particulars Cost Retail Inventory as on 31 December 2017 $251300 $387300 Net Purchases

$885668

($962468-$58800-$18000)

$1376800

($1455600 - $78800)

Freight In $41400 Add : Net markups ($117600 - $40500) $77100 Totals $1178365 $1841200 (Cost of goods available) (Original retail price of goods available + net markups)

COST TO RETAIL PERCENTAGE =

(Cost of goods available /Original retail price of goods available, plus net markups)*100

= ($1178365/$1841200)*100 = 64%

Less : net mark downs ($45700 - $20200) $25500 Cost of goods available for sale $1815700 Net sales ($1421800-$98300) $1323500

Estimated theft and Loss From Breakage

($7900+$4500)

$12400 Estimated ending Inventory at retail $479800 Estimated ending Inventory = ($479800*64%) = $307072
