Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                        Cost          Retail            

Beginning inventory    $12,000    $19,600

Net purchases             105,056    159,600

Net markups                                     9,600

Goods available        $126,656  $188,800

Ratio of cost to retail price = 67% ($126,656/$188,800)

Cost of goods sold     107,602 ($160,600 * 67%)

Ending inventory       $23,426
