The basic inventory formula is Beginning Inventory + Amount Purchased/Produced ? Amount Sold/Used = Ending Inventory We know beginning inventory, ending inventory and amount used, so we can calculate the amount purchased. Letting P stand for Amount Purchased: 25,000 + P ? 90,000 = 20,000 Solving for P, we get P = 85,000. This is the sum of the beginning inventory, the amount used, and the ending inventory. The basic inventory formula is Beginning Inventory + Amount Purchased/Produced ? Amount Sold/Used = Ending Inventory. This answer results from reversing the beginning and ending inventory amounts in the calculation of the amount purchased.
