Clark's Chemical Company received refundable deposits on returnable containers in the amount of $100,000 during 2018. Twelve percent of the
containers were not returned. The deposits are based on the container cost
marked up 20%. What is cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture?
a. $0.
b. $2,000.
c. $10,000.
d. $14,400.

$10000

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture will be calculated thus:

= (Refundable deposit × percent of not returned) / (1 + Markup percentage on cost)

= ($100000 × 12%) / ( 1 + 20%)

= ($100000 × 0.12) / ( 1 + 0.2)

= $12000 / 1.20

= $10000

The cost of goods sold is $10000
