CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Identify the differences between service and merchandising companies. Because of inventory, a merchandising company has sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross profit. To account for inventory, a merchandising company must choose between a perpetual and a periodic inventory system.

2. Explain the recording of purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The company debits the Inventory account for all purchases of merchandise and freight-in, and credits it for purchase discounts and purchase returns and allowances.

3. Explain the recording of sales revenues under a perpetual inventory system. When a merchandising company sells inventory, it debits Accounts Receivable (or Cash) and credits Sales Revenue for the selling price of the merchandise. At the same time, it debits Cost of Goods Sold and credits Inventory for the cost of the inventory items sold.

4. Explain the steps in the accounting cycle for a merchandising company. Each of the required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company applies to a merchandising company. A worksheet is again an optional step. Under a perpetual inventory system, the company must adjust the Inventory account to agree with the physical count.

5. Distinguish between a multiple-step and a single-step income statement. A multiple-step income statement shows numerous steps in determining net income, including nonoperating activities sections. A single-step income statement classifies all data under two categories, revenues or expenses, and determines net income in one step.

a 6. Explain the recording of purchases and sales of inventory under a periodic inventory system. In recording purchases under a periodic system, companies must make entries for (a) cash and credit purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts, and (d) freight costs. In recording sales, companies must make entries for (a) cash and credit sales, (b) sales returns and allowances, and (c) sales discounts.

a 7. Prepare a worksheet for a merchandising company. The steps in preparing a worksheet for a merchandising company are the same as for a service company. The unique accounts for a merchandiser are Inventory, Sales Revenue, Sales Returns and Allowances, Sales Discounts, and Cost of Goods Sold.

Instructions

(a) Should Sam pay the invoice within the discount period or should he keep the $11,250 in the money market account and pay at the end of the credit period? Support your recommendation with a calculation showing which action would be best.

(b) If Sam forgoes the discount, it may be viewed as paying an interest rate of 2% for the use of $11,250 for 20 days. Calculate the annual rate of interest that this is equivalent to.

(a) To compute the amount due after returns but before the discount, divide $78,400 by .98 (100% – 2%).

$78,400 ÷ .98 = $80,000.

Subtract $80,000 from $87,000 to determine that $7,000 of merchandise was returned.

(b) Peter Company returns $3,000 of merchandise and owes $70,000 to Hinds Company.

$68,600 ÷ $70,000 = .98

100% – 98% = 2%

The missing discount percentage is 2%. $70,000 × 2% = $1,400 sales discount.

(a) $650,000 – $390,000 = $260,000.

(b) $260,000/$650,000 = 40%.

(c) Income from operations is $110,000 ($260,000 – $150,000), and net income is $100,000 ($110,000 – $10,000).

(d) The amount shown for net income is the same in a multiple-step income statement and a single-step income statement. Therefore, net income in Brunetti's single-step income statement is also $100,000.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS

S-A E 236

A merchandiser frequently has a need to use contra accounts related to the sale of goods. Identify the contra accounts that have normal debit balances and explain why they are not considered expenses.

Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Problem Solving, IMA: FSA


Solution 236

The contra accounts that have normal debit balances are Sales Discounts and Sales Returns and Allowances. These accounts have debit balances but are not expenses because they are adjustments of sales, not operating, selling, or administrative expenses. They are an adjustment of the inflow from sale of goods, rather than a cost used to help earn revenue.

S-A E 237

Distinguish between FOB shipping point and FOB destination. Identify the freight terms that will result in a debit to Inventory by the purchaser and a debit to Freight-out by the seller.

Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Business Economics

Solution 237

The letters FOB mean Free on Board. FOB shipping point means that goods are placed free on board the carrier by the seller. The buyer then pays the freight and debits Inventory. FOB destination means that the goods are placed free on board to the buyer's place of business. Thus the seller pays the freight and debits Freight-out.

S-A E 238

Adrland Caselotti believes revenues from credit sales may be recorded before they are collected in cash. Do you agree? Explain.

Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting

Solution 238

Agree. In accordance with the revenue recognition principle, companies record sales revenues when the performance obligation is satisfied. The performance obligation is typically satisfied when the goods transfer from the seller to the buyer. The recording of revenue is not dependent on the collection of credit sales.

S-A E 239

In a single-step income statement, all data are classified under two categories: (1) Revenues, or (2) Expenses. If the income statement is recast in a multiple-step format, what additional information or intermediate components of income would be presented?

Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting

Solution 239

The items reported in a multiple-step income statement that are not reported in a single-step income statement are: gross revenues as well as net revenues, gross profit, detailed operating expenses, income from operations, and other revenues and gains, and other expenses and losses.

S-A E 240

You are at a company picnic and the company president starts a conversation with you. The president says “Since we use the perpetual inventory system, there is no reason to take a physical count of our inventory.” What is your response to the president’s remarks?

Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting


Solution 240

You have made a very good observation, but human and mechanical shortcomings need to be considered. The perpetual inventory system maintains detailed records of each inventory purchase, sale and return. This does not mean that everything has been correctly recorded. Some possible causes of discrepancies between the goods on hand and the amounts shown in the accounting system include (1) inventory items were coded incorrectly, (2) cashiers failed to properly scan inventory items, (3) inventory items were damaged or stolen, or (4) goods returned by customers were not properly entered in the accounting records. It is necessary to reconcile amounts in the ledger to actual quantities. Discrepancies should be properly accounted for and investigated.

S-A E 241

The income statement for a merchandising company presents five amounts not shown on a service company’s income statement. Identify and briefly explain the five unique amounts.

Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting

Solution 241

The items reported for a merchandising company that are not reported for a service company are sales, revenue, sales returns and allowances, sales discounts, cost of goods sold, and gross profit. Sales revenue, sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts comprise net sales. Cost of goods sold represents the total cost of merchandise sold during the period. Gross profit is the excess of net sales over the cost of goods sold.

S-A E 242 (Ethics)

Holmes Corporation manufactures electronic components for use in many consumer products. Their raw materials are purchased literally from all over the world. Depending on the country involved, purchase terms vary widely. Some suppliers, for example, require full prepayment, while others are content to receive payment within six months of receipt of the goods.

Because of this situation, Holmes never closes its books until at least ten days after month end. In this way, it can sort out ownership of goods in transit, and document which goods were received by month end, and which were not.

Monya Andre, a new accountant, was asked to record about $70,000 in inventory as having been received before month end. She argued that the shipping documents clearly showed that the goods were actually received on the 8th of the current month. Her boss, busy with month-end reports, curtly tells Ann to check the shipping terms. She did so, and found the notation "FOB shipper's dock" on the document. She hadn't seen that particular notation before, but she reasoned that if the selling company considered it shipped when it reached their dock, Holmes should consider it received when it reached Holmes's dock. She did not record the purchase until after month end.

Required:

1. Why are accountants concerned with the timing in the recording of purchases?

2. Was there a violation of ethical standards here? Explain.

Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Reporting


Solution 242

1. Accountants are concerned with timing because they seek to make sure that sales are recorded in the proper period so that revenues and expenses are properly matched; to make sure that goods recorded as owned by the company actually are owned as of the last date of the period; and to make certain that sales recorded have been actually completed.

2. The only ethical principle that may be involved is one of competence. Monya does not appear to know enough about reading shipping documents to make a proper determination of ownership. The goods were owned by Holmes as soon as they left the shipper's dock. Otherwise, the goods would have been owned by no one while in transit. It does not appear that Monya compromised her integrity or that she sought some sort of gain from her mistake. It does seem likely that she should have known better how to interpret the shipping documents.

S-A E 243 (Communication)

Ellen Corhy and Bryn Davis, two salespersons in adjoining territories, regularly compete for bonuses. During the last month, their dollar volume of sales, on which the bonuses are based, was nearly equal. On the last day of the month, each made a large sale. Both orders were shipped on the last day of the month and both were received by the customer on the fifth of the following month. Ellen's sale was FOB shipping point, and Bryn's was FOB destination. The company "counts" sales for purposes of calculating bonuses on the date that ownership passes to the purchaser. Ellen’s sale was therefore counted in her monthly total of sales, Bryn’s was not. Bryn is quite upset. She has asked you to just include it, or to take Ellen's off as well. She also has told you that you are being unethical for allowing Ellen to get a bonus just for choosing a particular shipping method.

Write a memo to Bryn. Explain your position.

RE: Sales Bonuses

DATE: June 15, 200x

As you know, sales bonuses are based upon the revenue generated by each salesperson. Your total sales for the month was $110,000. This total does not include the $19,000 sale you made May 31 because of the policy to count sales on the date that title transfers to the customer. I can understand your being upset that this large sale was not counted, while someone else's sale on the same date was counted, because of the shipping terms. However, I am sure you agree that the policy is not unethical, but it is instead more fair than our trying to make a determination in the midst of month-end closing.

I do understand your disappointment, but this sale does count in June—and it just may make the difference in June's bonus. Please call me if I can be of further help.
