If the opening stock is 5% of sales. calculate the purchases

  • N95,600
  • N95,000
  • N90,600 checkmark
  • N85,000

The correct answer is: C

Explanation

opening stock + cost of goods sold - closing stock = purchase

Remember COGS was given as;

cost of goods sold = sales - profit (10% of sales)

100,000 - 10,000 = 90,000

Hence we have;

purchase = 5,000 + 90000 - 5,600 = 90,600
