Answer #1

Net Sales = $359,000
Book Value of Inventory = $625,648
Actual Value of Inventory = $636,000

Actual value of inventory is higher than the book value of inventory. So, there is an overage.

Overage = Actual Value of Inventory - Book Value of Inventory
Overage = $636,000 - $625,648
Overage = $10,352

Overage Percent = Overage / Net Sales
Overage Percent = $10,352 / $359,000
Overage Percent = 0.0288 or 2.88%
