Answer:

Given that,

Sales revenue = $1,21,000

Cost of goods sold = $49,000

Gross Profit = $72,000

Cost of ending merchandise inventory = $16,000

Cost = $21,000

(1) Cost of good sold A/c         Dr      $5000

    To  Merchandise Inventory                      $5000

(Being Stock is to be value at market or cost whichever is lower, hence adjustment entry for stock)

(2)  Sales revenue = $1,21,000

Cost of goods sold =  $49,000 + Merchandise Inventory

                                     = $49,000 + $5000

                                     = $54,000

  Gross Profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

                       = $1,21,000 - $54,000

                       = $67,000
