Given;

Type No. of Chairs Estimated Selling Price Each

Lounge chairs 1,040 $90

Armchairs 780 $80

Straight chairs 1,820 $50

Total 3,640

The total cost of

Lounge chairs = 1040/3640 * $29,925

= $8,550

Armchairs = 780/3640 * $29,925

= $6,412.50

Straight chairs = 1820/3640 * $29,925

= $14,962.5 0

During 2020, Splish sells 520 lounge chairs, 260 armchairs, and 312 straight chairs.

If the company sells sells 520 lounge chairs, 260 armchairs, and 312 straight chairs

cost of;

Lounge chairs sold = 520/1040 * $8550

= $4275

armchairs sold = 260/780 * $6,412.50

= $2,137.5

straight chairs = 312/1820 * $14,962.5 0

= $2,565.00

Total cost of sales = $4275 + $2,137.5 + $2,565.00

= $8,977.50

Sales from

Lounge chairs sold = 520 * $90

= $46,800

armchairs sold = 260 * $80

= $20,800

straight chairs = 312 * $50

= $15,600

Total sales = $46,800 + $20,800 + $15,600

= $83,200.00

Gross profit = $83,200.00 - $8,977.50

= $74,222.50

Amount of inventory unsold = $29,925 - $8,977.50

= $20,947.50
