Frazier · Answer 1

Cost of goods sold = $573,000

Gross Profit = $177,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchases = $600,000

Purchase Returns and Allowances = $25,000

Purchases Discounts = $11,000

Freight-in = $19,000

Beginning inventory = $45,000

Ending inventory = $55,000

Net sales = $750,000

Now,

Total Goods Available for Sale =

Beginning Inventory + Purchases + Freight-In - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchases Discounts

= $45,000 + $600,000 + $19,000 - $25,000 - $11,000

= $628,000

Thus,

Cost of goods sold = Total Goods Available for Sale - ending inventory

= $628,000 - $55,000

= $573,000

Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

= $750,000 - $573,000

= $177,000
