Compute the following for Les Fleurs during 20X2: (Do not convert the figures to US dollars.)

Net sales revenue
Cost of goods sold
Gross profit

Answer 1

Net sales revenue = total generated from the companies products.

To calculate COGS:

You need to find the Goods available for sale (Beginning Inventory + Cost of Goods Purchased or Purchases)

After finding that

Goods available for sale - Ending Inventory = COGS


Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS

Answer 2

Oh wait. Since you have Freight In

COGS = Beginning Inventory + Net purchases + Freight In - Ending Inventory

Net purchases = Purchases - Purchase returns and allowances - purchase

Answer 3

NET SALES REVENUE:
Inventory Sales…………………. 400,000
Less: Sales discounts…………. 4,000
Less: Sales returns…………. 8,000

Net Sales Revenue = 388,000



COGS = Opening Inventory + Net Purchases - Ending Inventory

COGS Calculation:

December 31, 20X1….. 20,000
Add Net Purchases 248,000
Less December 31, 20X2….. 30,000
TOTAL COGS = 238,000

Net Purchases is calculated as:
Purchases………………... E250,000
Less: Purchase returns…….. 7,000
Less: Purchase discounts…. 3,000
Add: Freight In……………… E8,000
Net Purchases = 248,000


GROSS PROFIT = 388,000 – 238,000 = 150,000
