You are called by Tim Duncan of Shamrock Co. on July 16 and asked to prepare a claim for insurance as a result of a theft that
took place the night before. You suggest that an inventory be taken immediately. The following data are available.

Sales returns-goods returned to stock

Your client reports that the goods on hand on July 16 cost $31,300, but you determine that this figure includes goods of
$6,300 received on a consignment basis. Your past records show that sales are made at approximately 60% over cost. Duncan's
insurance covers only goods owned.
