  18. Gross profit method • Use the percentage of gross profit to estimate cost • Percentage = gross profit / net sales • Use several years of data to calculate • Will be given in problems

  19. Gross profit method 1. Gross profit is estimated by multiplying net sales by gross profit percentage. $250,000 x .39 = $97,000

  20. Gross profit method 2. Cost of merchandise sold determined by estimated gross profit from net sales $250,000 – 97,000 = 152,500

  21. Gross profit method 3. Ending inventory difference between GAFS and COGS $199,000 – 152,000 = 46,500
