question
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Railway Company determined that it had inventory worth $180,000 at December 31, 2010. This count did not take into consideration the following transactions: • Rogers Consignment store currently has goods worth $35,000 on its sales floor that belong to Railway but are being sold on consignment by Rogers. The selling price of these goods is $50,000. • Railway purchased $13,000 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Railway on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Railway should report.
answer
$215,000 (Inventory should include all goods owned by the company regardless if the company holds physical possession or not. The correct amount of inventory that should be reported by Railway should be the $180,000 cost of goods in possession plus the $35,000 of cost of the goods that are on consignment. The title to the goods in shipment will transfer on January 3 and should not be reported on December 31, 2010. $180,000 + $35,000 = $215,000)

question
At December 31, 2012, Sunrise Company's inventory records indicated a balance of $752,000. Upon further investigation it was determined that this amount included the following: • $112,000 in inventory purchases made by Sunrise shipped from the seller December 27, 2012 terms FOB destination, but not due to be received until January 2, 2013 • $74,000 in goods sold by Sunrise with terms FOB destination on December 27. The goods are not expected to reach their destination until January 6, 2013 • $6,000 of goods received on consignment from Wallwood Company
answer
$634,000 (The balance of $752,000 should not include the $112,000 since ownership passes at destination on January 2. It should include the $74,000 because ownership passes at the shipping point on December 27. It should not include the $6,000 on consignment because these goods are not owned by Sunrise. Corrected balance = $752,000 - $412,000 - $6,000 = $634,000.)

$113,000 (Ending inventory under FIFO uses the most recent costs in computing ending inventory. (5,000 × $13) + (4,000 × $12) = $113,000.)
question
Kam Company has the following units and costs: Units Unit Cost Inventory, Jan. 1 8,000 $11 Purchase, June 19 13,000 $12 Purchase, Nov. 8 5,000 $13 If 9,000 units are on hand at December 31, what is the cost of the ending inventory under LIFO using a periodic system?
answer
$100,000 (Ending inventory under LIFO uses the earliest costs in computing ending inventory. (8,000 × $11) + (1,000 × $12) = $100,000.)
question
Davidson Electronics has the following: Units Unit Cost Inventory, Jan. 1 5,000 $ 8 Purchase, April 2 15,000 $10 Purchase, Aug. 28 20,000 $12 If Davidson has 7,000 units on hand at December 31, how much is the cost of ending inventory under the average-cost method in a periodic inventory system?
answer
$75,250 (Ending inventory cost equals average-cost per unit times 7,000 units. Average cost per unit equals the total cost of all inventory amounts divided by the number of inventory units. Average inventory = [(5,000 × $8) + (15,000 × $10) + (20,000 × $12)] ÷ (5,000 + 15,000 + 20,000) = $430,000 ÷ 40,000 units = $10.75 per unit. $10.75 × 7,000 units = $75,250)
