Jefferson Company has sales of $302,000 and cost of goods available for sale of $270,200. If the gross profit ratio is typically 30%, the estimated cost of the ending inventory under the gross profit method would be:

Ending inventory is $58,800

Explanation:

The formula for the gross profit ratio is as under:

Gross profit ratio = Gross Profit / Sales

And here Sales is $302,000 and Gross profit ratio is 30%.

By putting values we have:

30% = Gross profit / $302,000

Gross Profit = 30% * $302,000 = $90,600

We also know that:

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of sales

By putting values we have:

$90,600 = $302,000 - Cost of sales

Cost of Sales = $302,000 - 90,600

Cost of Sales = $211,400

The difference between the cost of goods available for sale and cost of goods sold is ending inventory.

Ending Inventory = $270,200 - $211,400 =  $58,800
