The following data and information have been gathered.

1.

The fiscal year of the corporation ends on December 31.

2.

An examination of the April bank statement and canceled checks revealed that checks written during the period April 115 totaled $20,300: $6,390 paid to accounts payable as of March 31, $3,320 for April merchandise shipments, and $4,210 paid for other expenses. Deposits during the same period amounted to $15,500, which consisted of receipts on account from customers with the exception of a $880 refund from a vendor for merchandise returned in April.

3.

Correspondence with suppliers revealed unrecorded obligations at April 15 of $25,000 for April merchandise shipments, including $2,450 for shipments in transit (f.o.b. shipping point) on that date.

4.

Customers acknowledged indebtedness of $48,500 at April 15, 2015. It was also estimated that customers owed another $8,340 that will never be acknowledged or recovered. Of the acknowledged indebtedness, $650 will probably be uncollectible.

5.

The companies insuring the inventory agreed that the corporations fire-loss claim should be based on the assumption that the overall gross profit rate for the past 2 years was in effect during the current year. The corporations audited financial statements disclosed this information:

6.

Inventory with a cost of $7,340 was salvaged and sold for $4,130. The balance of the inventory was a total loss.

Compute the amount of inventory fire loss. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 1 decimal places, e.g 78.5% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)
