We'll have to calculate the amount of cost of goods sold and cost of goods available for sale as follows,
Cost of goods sold = (Sales - Sales returns) - Gross profit rate = ($53,000 - $1,400) - 45% = $28,380
Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Purchases + Freight - Purchase returns = $21,000 + $39,000 + $1,200 - $1,700 = $59,500
Calculation of cost of merchandise lost :
Estimated cost of merchandise lost = Cost of goods available for sale - cost of goods sold = $59,500 - 28,380 = $31,120
