Question No. 1 - Crossway Retail Limited (CRL) reported inventory of $689,600 and accounts payable to suppliers of $456,300 for the year ended December 31, 2016. CRL uses a periodic inventory system and uses the indirect (allowance) method for recording and reporting inventory when following the lower of cost and net realizable value standard. The $689,600 value of inventory above is the result of a physical count that was taken on the last day of the accounting period. The following seven items require further consideration and are not reflected in the values given above:
(a) The inventory count took place on December 31. Late in the day on December 31, goods with a cost of $54,300 and a retail price of $98,500 were delivered to a customer. These goods had been counted earlier in the day and were included in the inventory count. CRL did not record the sale until January 3, 2017 due to the New Year's break.
(b) Goods from a supplier, in transit on December 31, were neither counted nor recorded as a purchase and accounts payable as of December 31. The goods, with a cost of $37,500, legally belonged to CRL while they were in transit over the yearend.
(c) Goods received from a supplier on December 30 were counted and included in inventory, but the invoice had not been recorded as a purchase or accounts payable by the end of December. The invoice was for $51,100.
(d) On January 4, 2017, a $5,000 bill for freight for the month of December was received. The freight was for goods bought from a supplier and delivered to CRL's warehouse. None of these goods have been resold.
(e) The inventory count was subsequently determined to include $21,900 of goods on consignment from a supplier. The goods have to be paid for only if they are sold to CRL's customers.
(f) CRL had goods with a recorded cost of $12,700 that were properly recorded as a purchase and accounts payable, and counted in inventory. However, the goods were damaged and CRL entered into negotiations with the supplier that resulted in a discount of $4,000 off the price. The negotiations were completed in early January 2017.
(g) The market value of the remaining inventory after any adjustments appropriate for items (a) to (f) above, was determined to be $605,000. The allowance to reduce inventory to net realizable value, unchanged for the end of the 2015 accounting period, was $32.200.
Required:
(a) Set up two columns using the titles "Inventory - Net" and "Accounts Payable". Enter the preliminary balances given in the question on your first row ($689,600 for inventory and $456,300 for accounts payable). Analyze each of the seven items listed in the question and calculate the correct ending balances for inventory (net) and accounts payable as at December 31, 2016.
(b) Compute the value of any loss on inventory due to decline in the net realizable value and prepare the corresponding year-end adjusting entry.
Question No. 2 - Burnley Company uses the periodic system of inventory and its accounting year-end is December 31. Consider each of the following independent scenarios:
(i) Your analysis of inventory indicates that inventory at the end of 2016 was overstated by $27,000 due to an inventory count error. Inventory at the end of 20 13 was correctly stated.
(ii) Invoices in the amount of $107,000 for inventory received in December 2016 were not entered on the books in 2016. They were recorded as purchases in January 2017 when they were paid. The goods were counted in the 2016 inventory count and included in ending inventory on the 2016 financial statements.
(iii) Goods received on consignment amounting to $89,000 were included in the physical count of goods at the end of 2017 and included in ending inventory on the 2017 financial statements.
Required:
(a) For each of the above independent scenarios, indicate the effect of the error (if any) on:
(a) 2016 net income;
(b) 2017 net income; and
(c) 2017 ending retained earnings.
(b) For each of the above independent scenarios, provide the journal entry, if necessary, that should be recorded in 2017 to correct the error.
