Answer:

70.3%

Explanation:

Current period cost-to-retail percentage is:

  • Beginning inventory  $70,000     $107,000
  • Plus: Net Purchases  $302,290  $450,000
  • Plus: Net markups                         $23,000
  • Less: Net markdowns                   ($43,000)

Goods available for sale (excluding beginning inv.) $302,290   $430,000

Goods available for sale (including beginning inv.)  $372,290   $537,000

Cost-to-retail percentage = $302,290 / $430,000 = 70.3%
