Purchase value under net method

Under the net method, purchase value would be computed after taking both trade and cash discounts. This is called the net method, as only the net amount is recorded for purchase.

PurchasevalueofFeb1=Purchaseamount-TradeDiscount-Purchaseamount-TradeDiscount×CashDiscountPercent=($10,800-$1,080)-$10,800-$1,080×3100=$9,720-$9,720×0.03=$9,720-$291.6=$9,428.4

Case 1: T J International

T J International was founded in 1969 as Trus Joist International. The firm, a manufacturer of specialty building products, has its headquarters in Boise, Idaho. The company, through its partnership in the Trus Joist MacMillan joint venture, develops and manufactures engineered lumber. This product is a high-quality substitute for structural lumber and uses lower-grade wood and materials formerly considered waste. The company also is majority owner of the Outlook Window Partnership, which is a consortium of three wood and vinyl window manufacturers.

Following is T J International’s adapted income statement and information concerning inventories from its annual report.

T J International

Sales \(618,876,000

Cost of goods sold 475,476,000

Gross profit 143,400,000

Selling and administrative expenses 102,112,000

Income from operations 41,288,000

Other expense 24,712,000

Income before income tax 16,576,000

Income taxes 7,728,000

Net income \) 8,848,000

Inventories.Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and include material, labor, and production overhead costs. Inventories consisted of the following:

Current Year Prior Year

Finished goods \(27,512,000 \)23,830,000

Raw materials and

work-in-progress 34,363,00033,244,000

61,875,000 57,074,000

Reduction to LIFO cost (5,263,000) (3,993,000)

\(56,612,000 \)53,081,000

The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is used for determining the cost of lumber, veneer, Microllamlumber, TJI joists, and open web joists. Approximately 35 percent of total inventories at the end of the current year were valued using the LIFO method. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used to determine the cost of all other inventories.

Instructions

(a) How much would income before taxes have been if FIFO costing had been used to value all inventories?

(b) If the income tax rate is 46.6%, what would income tax have been if FIFO costing had been used to value all inventories ? In your opinion, is this difference in net income between the two methods material? Explain.

(c) Does the use of a different costing system for different types of inventory mean that there is a different physical flow of goods among the different types of inventory? Explain.

(b) Assuming no purchase or payment transactions other than those given above, prepare the adjusting entry required on May 31 if financial statements are to be prepared as of that date.

7. Goods sold f.o.b. shipping point that are in transit at December 31.

8. Freight charges on goods purchased.

9. Interest costs incurred for inventories that are routinely manufactured.

10. Costs incurred to advertise goods held for resale.

14. Factory supplies.

15. Goods held on consignment from another company.
