    Hi Noura,

    Im also confused at first but I think since the problem provided the cost of merchandise, we should take note that under Cost of Good Sold the beginning inventory and ending inventory or the items under COGS should be presented only at cost that is why the problem computed it at cost. Hope this will help.

    Hello Noura,

     

    Your concept is not ok.

    Remember that
    inventory beginning balance + purchases = COGS + inventory ending balance

    1. Inventory beginning balance = the cost of 15% of July`s sales

                                                       = 15% * (60%*600,000)

                                                        = 54,000 $

    1. Inventory ending balance       = the cost of 15% of August`s sales

                                                       = 15% * (60%*650,000)

                                                         = 58,500 $

    1. Cost of Goods Sold   = 60% of July`s sales

                                                       = 60% * (600,000)

                                                         = 360,000 $

    1. Required Purchases   = 360,000 + 58,500 - 54,000

                                          = 364,500 $

    I HOPE YOU GET IT AS WELL.
