Ending inventory is $424,045

Cost of goods sold is $889,955

Explanation:

Retail Inventory method is used to estimate the value of inventory using retail price of the unit of inventory.

As per given data

Cost Retail

Beginning inventory $370,000 $515,000

Net purchases $890,000 $ 1,280,000

Freight-in $54,000

Net markups $55,000

Net markdowns $25,000

Net sales $1,235,000

Cost of Purchase = 890,000 + 54,000 = $944,000

Retail Price of Purchases = Net Purchases Retail + (Net Markup) = $1280,000 + (55,000 - 25,000) = 1,310,000

Cost to retail Percentage = ($944,000 / $1,310,000) x 100 = 72.06%

Closing Inventory = Purchases + Net Markup - Sales = $1,280,000 + ($944,000 / $1,310,000) - $1,235,000 = $75,000

Retail Cost

Beginning inventory $515,000 $370,000

Net purchases $75,000 $54,045 ($75,000 x 72.06%)

Ending Inventory $590,000 $424,045

Closing Inventory = Opening + Purchases - Closing = $370,000 + (890,000 + 54,000) - 424,045 = $889,955
