What is the Purchases amount for 2015?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the Purchases amount for 2015, we use the formula: Goods available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory. From the table, for 2015, Goods available for sale = 12,899, Beginning Inventory = 2,250, and Ending Inventory = 2,662. Substituting these values, we get 12,899 = 2,250 + Purchases - 2,662. Solving for Purchases gives us Purchases = 12,899 - 2,250 + 2,662 = 10,649.
