Sales for the month of April through April 24 were $642,500. Assuming the company's typical gross profit ratio is 50%, estimate the amount of inventory destroyed in the tornado.
A) $212,275
B) $103,300
C) $217,950
D) $321,250
E) $157,788
B) $103,300
Explanation: Beginning inventory on April 1 was $226,750. Purchases for the month of April amounted to $197,800, yielding cost of goods available for sale of $424,550. If the company's typical gross profit ratio is 50% and if sales for the month of April were $642,500, then the cost of goods sold during April was $321,250. Subtracting that amount from the cost of goods available for sale yields ending inventory of $103,300.
