Madelynn Castaneda · Answer 1

Revenue minus cost of sales is equal to gross profit

so inventory purchase, beginning inventory and ending inventory are in cost of sales

Formula will be Revenu-cost of sales (beginning inventory + purchased inventory - ending inventory) = Gross profit

So 500000 - (40000+x-45000) = 150000

then you can make x as the subjects of the formula and you can easily get the answer
