At the beginning of the year, novak had an inventory of $55. during the year, the company purchased goods costing $234. if novak reported ending inventory of $97 and sales of $292, their cost of goods sold and gross profit rate would be

COGS 1,920,000

Gross Profit rate 34.24%

Explanation:

We solve for COGS using the inventory identity:

The left side are the input of inventory and the right side, the destination afterall, a units can be either on the ending inventory or sold.

We clear for COGS

COGS = beginning + purchase - ending

then plug the values into the formula and solve.

COGS = 550,000 + 2,340,000 - 970,000 = 1,920,000

The sales value is not in the formula so, we ignore this data.

Gross profit rate:

(Sales - COGS)/Sales

(2,920,000 - 1,920,000)/2,920,000 = 1,000,000 / 2,920,000 = 0.3424 = 34.24%

From every dollar of sale, the company obtain 34.24% of gross profit
