    a. At what amount was Cost of Goods Sold reported in the company's year-end income statement?
    COGS = Sales - Gross Profit:
    26m - 15m = 11m
    b. At what amount was Merchandise inventory reported in the company's year-end balance sheet?
    Beginning inventory + Purchases - COGS
    6.450m +9.500 - 11.000m = 4.950
    c. Immediately prior to recording inventory shrinkage at the end of the year, what was the balance of the Cost of Goods Sold and Merchandise Inventory account?
    Adjust for the shrinkage to get the answer
