Cost
Retail
Beginning Inventory
$145,600
$197,000
Net Purchases
$430,400
$577,000
Net Markups
$126,000
Total
$576,000
$900,000
Deduct:
Net Markdowns
$30,000
Sales Revenue
$670,000
Ending Inventory at retail
$200,000
Cost to retail ratio = (cost/retail) x 100
= (576,000/900,000) x 100 = 64%
Value of ending inventory at cost as at December 31, 2016 = $200,000 x 64% = $128,000
