At the beginning of the year, Wildcat Athletic had an inventory of $300,000. During the year, the company purchased goods costing $1,200,000. If Wildcat Athletic reported ending inventory of $450,000 and sales of $1,500,000, their cost of goods sold and gross profit rate would be

$1,050,000 and 30%. $300,000 BI + $1,200,000 Purchases - $450,000 EI = $1,050,000 COGS Gross Profit = $1,500,000 Sales - $1,050,000 COGS = $450,000 Gross Profit rate = $450,000 GP/$1,500,00 Sales = 30%

A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a

$100,000 loss on disposal. Book value of plant asset = $375,000 cost - $150,000 A/D = $225,000. If sold for $125,000 we have a $100,000 loss to recognize.

A company purchased factory equipment for $450,000.It is estimated that the equipment will have a$45,000 salvage value at the end of its estimated 5-year useful life. If the company uses the double-declining-balance method of depreciation, the amount of annual depreciation recorded for the second year after purchase would be

$108,000. Year one: $450,000 BV x 2/5 = $180,000 Year two: $270,000 BV x 2/5 = $108,000 Remember that we ignore salvage value when calculating depreciation expense under DDB

A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 48 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is July 1 Beginning Inventory: 30 units $19= $570 7 Purchases: 105 units $20 = $2,700 22 Purchases: 15 units $22 = $330 Total: $3000

$2,010 150 units available for sale - 48 in EI = 102 sold. (30 x $19) + (72 x $20) = $2,010
