Purchase R & A $5,000
Frt In $8,000
Cost of Goods Sold $233,000

Gross profit on Sale 446,000

Stumped on how to find Net Purchases and Cost of Goods Available for sale. I am trying to figure this problem out to be able to do with another problem and I am stumped on the equation to finding missing numbers.

Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases = Goods Available For Use
COGS = Goods Available For Use – Ending Inventory


Net Purchases = Purchases + Freight In – Discounts (like purchase returns and allowances)

Sales have nothing to do with purchases or Cost of Goods available for sale.
