Answer:

$205,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $9,250,000

Estimated gross profit rate = 36%

Beginning merchandise inventory = $180,000

Purchases (net) = $5,945,000

Merchandise available for sale = $6,125,000

Estimated cost of merchandise sold:

= Sales(net) - Gross profit

= $9,250,000 - (36% × $9,250,000)

= $9,250,000 - $3,330,000

= $5,920,000

Cost of Ending Merchandise Inventory:

= Merchandise available for sale - Estimated cost of merchandise sold

= $6,125,000 - $5,920,000

= $205,000

Answer:

$0.02

Explanation:

C&A sells T-shirts for $20 that cost $5 to produce

The annual holfing cost percentage is 10%

The T-shirts turn 25 times a year

The first step is to calculate the holding cost

= $5 × 10/100

= $5 × 0.1

= 0.5

Therefore, since the T-shirts turn over 25 times a year then, the holding cost that C&A incurs for each T-shirts can be calculated as follows

= 0.5/25 times

= $0.02

Hence C&A incur a holding cost of $0.02 for each T-shirts
