(a) Goods out on approval to customers.

(b) Goods in transit that were recently purchased f.o.b. destination.

(c) Land held by a realty firm for sale.

(d) Raw materials.

(e) Goods received on consignment.

(f) Manufacturing supplies.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Item 1, 3, and 4 would be recognized as inventory. Item 2 would not be recognized inventory unless received. Item 5 and 6 do not come under inventory.

Step by step solution

01

Goods out on approval to the customer

Goods sent to approval do not constitute sale as the seller retains the title and control unless the customer accepts them.

Sothe goods sent out on approval must be shown under inventory on the balance sheet.

02

Goods in transit that were recently purchased f.o.b. destination

Under goods purchased on f.o.b. destination, the title is received after receiving the goods.

Soas the goods are in transit, the inventories should not be recognized on the balance sheet.
