Could you assist me with this (1) accounting problem and a breakdown of how the problem is completed by 5pm today 7/17/16?

Tim Legler requires an estimate of the cost of goods lost by fire on March 9. Merchandise on hand on January 1 was $38,110. Purchases since January 1 were $92,740; freight-in, $4,400; purchase returns and allowances, $2,300. Sales are made at 33 1/3% above cost and totaled $131,400 to March 9. Goods costing $11,010 were left undamaged by the fire; remaining goods were destroyed.

(a) Compute the cost of goods destroyed.
