Delta Diamonds uses a periodic inventory system. The company had five one-carat diamonds available for sale this year: one was purchased on June 1 for $450, two were purchased on July 9 for $550 each, and two were purchased on September 23 for $600 each.

On December 31, Year 1, Owings Corporation overstates the ending inventory by $5,000. How will this affect the amount of retained earnings shown on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 2? Answers: A.) Retained Earnings will be correctly stated. B.) Retained Earnings will be overstated by $5,000. C.) Retained Earnings will be understated by $5,000. D.) Cannot be determined with the above information. E.) None of the above reflect the affect on the amount of retained earnings shown on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 2

A.) Retained Earnings will be correctly stated. Response Feedback: Overstating inventory at the end of Year 1 will cause cost of goods sold to be understated for Year 1, which causes net income to be overstated. Since the Year 1 ending inventory becomes the Year 2 beginning inventory, cost of goods sold will be overstated for Year 2, which will cause net income to be understated. The overstatement of Year 1 net income will be offset by the understatement of Year 2 net income and retained earnings will be correctly stated at the end of Year 2.

Hoover Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $40.00. The item purchased second cost $44.75. Then Hoover sold one of the inventory items for $75. Based on this information, which of the following statements is true? Answers: A.) The gross margin is $32.63 if Hoover uses the weighted-average cost flow method. B.) The ending inventory is $44.75 if Hoover uses the LIFO cost flow method. C.) The cost of goods sold is $44.75 if Hoover uses the FIFO cost flow method. D.) The cost of goods sold is $40.00 if Hoover uses the LIFO cost flow method. E.) None of the above.

A.) The gross margin is $32.63 if Hoover uses the weighted-average cost flow method. Response Feedback: Using weighted average, cost of goods sold is calculated by multiplying the average cost per unit by the number of units sold. If Hoover uses weighted-average, the average cost per unit is $42.38. Therefore, gross margin will be $32.63 (or Sales of $75 − Cost of goods sold of $42.38).The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. If Hoover uses FIFO, cost of goods sold will be $40.00 (earliest purchase) rather than $44.75.The last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. If Hoover uses LIFO, cost of goods sold will be $44.75 (most recent purchase) and ending inventory will be $40.00 rather than $44.75.

Galaxy Company sold merchandise costing $2,900 for $4,800 cash. The merchandise was later returned by the customer for a refund. The company uses the perpetual inventory system.

B.) Total assets and total stockholders' equity decrease by $1,900. C.) Total assets and total stockholders' equity increase by $1,900. D.) Total assets decrease by $4,800 and total stockholders' equity decreases by $2,900. E.) None of the above.

B.) Total assets and total stockholders' equity decrease by $1,900. Answer Feedback: The sales return decreases assets (cash) and stockholders' equity (retained earnings) by $4,800. Sales and net income decrease by that same amount. Because the company got the inventory back, the sales return increases assets (merchandise inventory) and stockholders' equity (retained earnings) by $2,900. The expense (cost of goods sold) decreases and net income increases by that same amount. The net effect of both parts of this business event is a decrease to assets and stockholders' equity of $1,900 (or $4,800 − $2,900). Question 20
