Answer:
The answer is: C) Net purchases plus beginning inventory equals merchandise available for sale
Explanation:
The best way to show how this equation works is by assigning values to the accounts;
- initial merchandise inventory was 2,000 units, at $10 per unit, total $20,000
- merchandise purchased was 4,000 units, at $10 per unit, total $40,000
How many units do we have available for sale, and at what cost?
We add initial merchandise inventory and merchandise purchased = 6,000 units at $10 per unit, total $60,000
