Question
**Problem Statement:**

Sandhill Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $128,000. The acquisition included 3,240 units of product LF, and 6,480 units of product 1B. LF normally sells for $30 per unit, and 1B for $10 per unit. If Sandhill sells 1,080 units of LF, what amount of gross profit should it recognize?

**Answer Options:**

- $22,267
- $32,400
- $36,720
- $6,800

**Explanation:**

The question involves calculating the gross profit recognized from the sale of a specific number of units from a bulk purchase. Gross profit is calculated by determining the sales revenue from the sold units minus the allocated cost of those units sold. To solve the problem:

1. Calculate the total estimated retail value of inventory for both products.
2. Allocate the lump-sum cost proportionately based on the retail value.
3. Calculate the sales revenue for the units sold.
4. Determine the cost of goods sold (COGS) for these units.
5. Subtract COGS from sales revenue to find the gross profit.
