Procter&Gamble is a multinational corporation that manufactures and markets many products that you use every day. In 2008, sales for the company were $83,503 (all amounts in millions). The annual report did not report the amount of credit sales, so we will assume that all sales were on credit. The average gross profit percentage was 51.3 percent. Account balances follow:

 

Beginning

Ending

Accounts receivable (net)

$6,761

$6,629

Inventory

8,416

6,819
