The formula to calculate the cost of goods purchased is:
\[ COGP = P - R/A - D + F \]
Where:
Let's say the total amount of purchases (P) is $10,000, the purchase returns or allowances (R/A) are $500, the purchase discounts (D) are $200, and the inbound freight (F) is $300. Using the formula:
\[ COGP = 10000 - 500 - 200 + 300 \]
We get:
\[ COGP = 9600 \]
So, the cost of goods purchased is $9,600.
Definition: The cost of goods sold (COGS) is the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold by a company.
Formula: \( \text{COGS} = \text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Purchases} - \text{Ending Inventory} \)
Example: \( \text{COGS} = 10000 + 5000 - 2000 \)
Definition: This calculation determines the total cost of goods available for sale during a period.
Formula: \( \text{Cost of Goods Available for Sale} = \text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Purchases} \)
Example: \( \text{Cost of Goods Available for Sale} = 8000 + 3000 \)
Definition: The cost of goods purchased is the total cost incurred to acquire inventory during a period.
Formula: \( \text{Cost of Goods Purchased} = \text{Purchases} + \text{Freight In} - \text{Purchase Returns and Allowances} \)
Example: \( \text{Cost of Goods Purchased} = 4000 + 500 - 200 \)
Definition: This calculation determines the total cost of goods available for sale during a period.
Formula: \( \text{Cost of Goods Available for Sale} = \text{Beginning Inventory} + \text{Purchases} \)
Example: \( \text{Cost of Goods Available for Sale} = 7000 + 2500 \)
