required
estimate the following:

a. gross margin in dollars.

b. cost of goods sold in dollars.

c. ending inventory.

d. amount of lost inventory.

a) $150,225

b) $450,675

c) $152,425

d) $17,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Beginning inventory = $204,300

Purchases to date of storm = $398,800

Sales to date of storm = $600,900

The value of undamaged inventory counted = $134,725

Prentiss’s gross margin percentage = 25% of sales

a) Now,

Gross margin = Sales × Gross margin percentage

= $600,900 × 25%

= $150,225

GROSS MARGIN ( DOLLARS)= 113506

b) Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross margin

= $600,900 - $150,225

= $450,675

c) Ending inventory

= Beginning inventory + purchase - Cost of goods sold

= $204,300  + $398,800  - $450,675

= $152,425

d) Amount of lost inventory

= Ending inventory - Undamaged inventory

= $152,425 - $134,725

= $17,700
