Chapter 9: Question 9BE (page 474)

Fosbre Corporation鈥檚 April 30 inventory was destroyed by fire. January 1 inventory was \(150,000, and purchases for January through April totaled \)500,000. Sales revenue for the same period was $700,000. Fosbre鈥檚 normal gross profit percentage is 35% on sales. Using the gross profit method, estimate Fosbre鈥檚 April 30 inventory that was destroyed by fire.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The inventory destroyed by fire as of April 30 equals $195,000.

Step by step solution

01

The cost of goods sold is calculated as follows:

Costofgoodssold=Salesrevenue-(Salesrevenue脳Grossprofitpercentage)=$700,000-($700,000脳35%)=$455,000

02

Ending inventory is calculated as follows:

EndingInventory=BeginningInventory+InventoryPurchased-Costfgoodssold=$150,000+$500,000-$455,000=$195,000

Thus, inventory destroyed by fire equals $195,000.

Sedato Company follows the practice of pricing its inventory at LCNRV, on an individual-item basis. Item No. Quantity Cost per Unit Estimated Selling Price Cost to Complete and Sell 1320 1,200 \(3.20 \)4.50 $1.60 1333 900 2.70 3.40 1.00 1426 800 4.50 5.00 1.40 1437 1,000 3.60 3.20 1.35 1510 700 2.25 3.25 1.40 1522 500 3.00 3.90 0.80 1573 3,000 1.80 2.50 1.20 1626 1,000 4.70 6.00 1.50 Instructions From the information above, determine the amount of Sedato Company inventory

Olson Corporation, a retailer and wholesaler of national brand-name household lighting fixtures, purchases its inventories from various suppliers. Instructions (a) (1) What criteria should be used to determine which of Olson鈥檚 costs are inventoriable ? (2) Are Olson鈥檚 administrative costs inventoriable ? Defend your answer. (b) (1) Olson uses the lower-of-cost-or-market rule for its wholesale inventories. What are the theoretical arguments for that rule? (2) The replacement cost of the inventories is below the net realizable value less a normal profit margin, which, in turn, is below the original cost. What amount should be used to value the inventories? Why? (c) Olson calculates the estimated cost of its ending inventories held for sale at retail using the conventional retail inventory method. How would Olson treat the beginning inventories and net markdowns in calculating the cost ratio used to determine its ending inventories? Why.

Accounting, Analysis, and Principles Englehart Company sells two types of pumps. One is large and is for commercial use. The other is smaller and is used in residential swimming pools. The following inventory data is available for the month of March. Units Price per Unit Total Residential Pumps Inventory at Feb. 28: 200 \( 400 \) 80,000 Purchases: March 10 500 \( 450 \)225,000 March 20 400 \( 475 \)190,000 March 30 300 \( 500 \)150,000 Sales: March 15 500 \( 540 \)270,000 March 25 400 \( 570 \)228,000 Inventory at March 31: 500 Commercial Pumps Inventory at Feb. 28: 600 \( 800 \)480,000 Purchases: March 3 600 \( 900 \)540,000 March 12 300 \( 950 \)285,000 March 21 500 \(1,000 \)500,000 Sales: March 18 900 \(1,080 \)972,000 March 29 600 \(1,140 \)684,000 Inventory at March 31: 500 In addition to the above information, due to a downturn in the economy that has hit Englehart鈥檚 commercial customers especially hard, Englehart expects commercial pump prices from March 31 onward to be considerably different (and lower) than at the beginning of and during March. Englehart has developed the following additional information. Commercial Pumps Residential Pumps Net realizable value (per unit) \(900 \)580 The normal profit margin is 16.67% of cost. Englehart uses the FIFO accounting method. Accounting (a) Determine the dollar amount that Englehart should report on its March 31 balance sheet for inventory. Assume Englehart applies lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value at the individual product level. (b) Repeat part (a) but assume Englehart applies lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value at the major categories level. Englehart places both commercial and residential pumps into the same (and only) category. Analysis Which of the two approaches above (individual product level or major categories) for applying LCNRV do you think gives the financial statement reader better information? Principles Assume that during April, the net realizable value of commercial pumps rebounds to $1,050. (a) Briefly describe how Englehart will report in its April financial statements the inventory remaining from March 31. (b) Briefly describe the conceptual trade-offs inherent in the accounting in part (a).

In some instances, accounting principles require a departure from valuing inventories at cost alone. Determine the proper unit inventory price in the following cases. Cases 1 2 3 4 5 Cost \(15.90 \)16.10 \(15.90 \)15.90 $15.90 Sales price 14.80 19.20 15.20 10.40 17.80 Estimated cost to complete 1.50 1.90 1.65 .80 1.00 Estimated cost to sell .50 .70 .55 .40 .60
