Cost of goods sold is equal to 65% of sales. The company wants to maintain a monthly ending inventory equal to 130% of the Cost of Goods Sold for the following month. The inventory on June 30 is less than this ideal since it is only $65,000. The company is now preparing a Merchandise Purchases Budget.
Required:
a. The budgeted purchases for July are .

Purchases= $63,050

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

July $80,000

August $90,000

September $70,000

The cost of goods sold is equal to 65% of sales.

The company wants to maintain a monthly ending inventory equal to 130% of the Cost of Goods Sold for the following month.

The inventory on June 30 is less than this ideal since it is only $65,000.

To calculate the purchases for July, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 80,000*0.65 + (90,000*0.65)*1.3 - 65,000

Purchases= $63,050

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.
