Chapter 9: Question 9BE (page 474)

Fosbre Corporation’s April 30 inventory was destroyed by fire. January 1 inventory was \(150,000, and purchases for January through April totaled \)500,000. Sales revenue for the same period was $700,000. Fosbre’s normal gross profit percentage is 35% on sales. Using the gross profit method, estimate Fosbre’s April 30 inventory that was destroyed by fire.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The inventory destroyed by fire as of April 30 equals $195,000.

Step by step solution

01

The cost of goods sold is calculated as follows:

Costofgoodssold=Salesrevenue-(Salesrevenue×Grossprofitpercentage)=$700,000-($700,000×35%)=$455,000

02

Ending inventory is calculated as follows:

EndingInventory=BeginningInventory+InventoryPurchased-Costfgoodssold=$150,000+$500,000-$455,000=$195,000

Thus, inventory destroyed by fire equals $195,000.

The net realizable value of the raw materials is below the original cost. Ogala uses the FIFO inventory method for these raw materials. In the last 2 years, each purchase has been at a lower price than the previous purchase, and the ending inventory quantity for each period has been higher than the beginning inventory quantity for that period. Instructions (a) At which amount should Ogala’s raw materials inventory be reported on the balance sheet? Why? (b) In general, why is the LCNRV rule used to report inventory? (c) What would have been the effect on ending inventory and cost of goods sold had Ogala used the average-cost inventory method instead of the FIFO inventory method for the raw materials? Why?
