    Cost of goods available for sale & Purchases
    Beginning Inventory $20,000
    Purchases
    Purchase R & A $5,000
    Frt In $8,000
    Cost of Goods Sold $233,000
    Sales $290.00
    Sales Return $11000
    Ending Inventor
    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)
