Answer:

the cost of goods destroyed is $15,362

Explanation:

Note Sales are made at 33 1/3% above cost. Thus the Mark -up is 1/3.

Using the Mark-up and Margin Relationship :

Gross Profit Margin = 1/(3+1)

                                =1/4

Therefore gross profit = $129,000× 25%

                                     =  $32,250
