Gross Profit Method

The document discusses the gross profit method for estimating inventory using beginning inventory, net purchases, net sales, and cost of goods sold. There are two ways to calculate cost of goods sold - based on sales or based on cost. Two sample problems are shown calculating ending inventory using both methods. The gross profit rate can be calculated on either sales or cost. Net sales are defined as gross sales less any returns, discounts or allowances.
