Total inventory lost = $156,980

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 1 inventory was $156,000, and purchases for January through April totaled $468,200. Sales revenue for the same period was $718,800. Fosbre's normal gross profit percentage is 35% on sales.

COGS=718,800*0.65 = 467,220

Total inventory for sale = 156,000 + 468,200 = 624,200

Total inventory lost = 624,200 - 467,220 = 156,980
