Explanation:

Under cost:

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Freight in + Net mark ups - Net markdowns

= 220,000 + 588,000 + 11,000 + 0 - 0

= $819,000

Under Retail:

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases + Freight in + Net markups - Net markdowns

= 283,000 + 864,000 + 0 + 23,000 - 4,300

= $1,165,700

Cost to retail ratio = $819,000 ÷ (283,000 + 864,000 + 0 + 23,000)

                              = $819,000 ÷ $1,170,700
