Opening stock + Purchases = Cost of stock available for sale (a)
Sales - Gross Profit = Cost of sales (b)
Therefore, a - b will give you the estimated closing stock, and as all the stock was destroyed, this will be your answer.0 -
Richard is correct, and i just wanted to put it in figures for you.......Are you sure that the 46% is the mark-up not the margin, because i can't really work it out if its the mark-up.:001_tt2:0
