答案Cost of sales to Sales in the year 2002 was: $147,600/ $492,000 Then the Cost of sales to Sales in the year 2003 was: $147,600/ [(1+20%)×$492,000]=0.25 So cost of sales of the period from 1 January 2003 to 30 June 2003 was: $270,000×0.25=$67,500 Purchases of the same period was: $69,000+$31,000-$15,000=$85,000 So ending stock on 30 June 2003 was: $37,400+$85,000-$67,500=$54,900 Then the cost of the stock lost by Charles on 30 June 2003: $54,900-$5,000=$49,900
