estimated ending inventory

solution

we know Opening inventory cost i. e $145000 and purchases inventory cost i. e $53000

so both will be = $145000 + $53000 = $198000

and

Cost of goods sold will be

Cost of goods sold = 35% of sales totaled

Cost of goods sold = 35% * $140,000

Cost of goods sold = $91000

so

Balance closing inventory = Opening inventory cost + purchases inventory cost - Cost of goods sold

Balance closing inventory = $198000 - $91000

Balance closing inventory = $107000
