These linings have not yet been delivered or paid for. The labour cost of fitting linings to boots will total $500. The expected selling price is $9.95 per pair.

(2)  100 pairs of fire damaged shoes. These cost $3000 in total. 200 pairs are so badly damaged that they will be destroyed. The remaining 800 pairs will need cleaning and polishing at a total cost of $960. This work has not yet been done. It is expected that the shoes will sell for $7.49 per pair.

(3) 40 large tents which were purchased for $150 each. After inspection the company estimated that repairs to the tents will cost a total of $250. These repairs will take 2 months and the company estimates the storage costs will amount to $1 per tent per month. The company is expecting to sell the tents for $180 each but expects to give a trade discount of 5% on half the tents and pay carriage of $4 per tent on 40% of the tents.

The company expects to sell 200 at this price with the remainder being sold off at $9 each. For all jacket sales they will have to pay packing and carriage of $1.50 per jacket.
