Assume that Oriole Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $355,300; Purchase Returns and Allowances $10,200; Purchase Discounts $9,000; and Freight-in $16,800. Determine net purchases and cost of goods purchased.

The answer is:

Net purchases = $336,100

Cost of goods purchased = $352,900

Explanation:

Net purchases equals purchases minus purchase returns and allowances minus purchase discount.

Purchases = $355,300

Purchase returns = $10,200

Purchase discount = $9,000

Therefore, net purchase is:

$355,300 - $10,200 - $9,000

= $336,100

Cost of goods purchased equals net purchase plus freight in.

Freight in = $16,800

So cost of goods purchased is:

$336,100 + $16,800

=$352,900
