The Intramural Sports Club reports sales revenue of $578,000. Inventory at both the beginning and end of the year totals $110,000. The inventory turnover ratio for the year is 3.9. What amount of gross profit does the company report in its income statement?

$363,500

Explanation:

Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold.

In the case

Revenue = $578,000.

The Cost of Goods Sold: COGS

Inventory turn over = COGS/ Average turnover

Average turnover = Opening stock + closing stock/2

In this case Opening stock + Closing stock = $110,000

Average turnover = $110,000 /2 =$55,000

Therefore:

3.9 = COGS/$55,000

COGS = $55,000 x 3.9

COGS =$214,500

Gross profit =  $578,000 - $214,500

Gross profit = $363,500

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
