(Learning Objectives 1, 2: Show how to account for inventory in a perpetual system using the average-costing method) Eastern Trading Company purchases inventory in crates of merchandise; each crate of inventory is a unit. The fiscal year of Eastern Trading ends each January 31. Assume you are dealing with a single Eastern Trading store in San Diego, California. The San Diego store began the year with an inventory of 24,000 units that cost a total of $1,272,000. During the year, the store purchased merchandise on account as follows:

Dec (59,000 units at $65) .................................... | 3,855,000 |
Total purchases .................................................... | $8,321,000 |
Cash payments on account totaled $7,993,000. During fiscal year 2018, the store sold 149,000 units of merchandise for $15,272,500, of which $4,700,000 was for cash and the balance was on account. Eastern Trading and all of its stores use the average-cost method for inventories. The San Diego store’s operating expenses for the year were $4,250,000. It paid 70% in cash and accrued the rest as accrued liabilities. The store accrued income tax at the rate of 40%.
