Hazelwood Company had beginning inventory of $54,000. During the period the company purchased $109,800 of merchandise. At the end of the period, Hazelwood’s inventory was $39,600. If the gross profit percentage was 40%, what was Hazelwood’s sales revenue?

$207000 is the sales revenue for the year.

Explanation:

The given situation is:

Sales Revenue                              100%

Cost Of Goods sold                      60%

Profit Margin                                  40%

Now we neither have sales revenue figure nor the profit margin figures but we can calculate cost of goods sold from the following formula:

Cost Of Goods Sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory

By putting values we have:

Cost Of Goods Sold = $54,000 + $109,800 - $39,600

Cost Of Goods Sold = $124,200

Now cost of goods sold is 60% which means if we want to go at 100% we will divide with the percentage at which we are standing (60%) and multiply with the percentage which we want to calculate (Sales is 100%).

Sales revenue = Cost of goods sold  *    100% / 60%  

Sales revenue = $124200  * 100% / 60%  = $207,000

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable
