question#15. why is the answer $639,000
Explanation / Answer
Beginning inventory = $130000 + 14000 = $144000
Add Purchase = $575000 + 70000 = $645000
Add Freight in = $10000
Add Transportation to consignee = $5000 as its not sell hence included
Freight = not included (notes given)
Less Ending inventory = $145000 + 20000 =$ 165000
Total balance = $639000
Note: Transportation-in or freight-in costs are part of the cost of goods purchased. The cost of goods (or any asset) includes all costs necessary to get an asset in place and ready for use.
Transportation-out or freight-out costs are not product costs and are not inventoriable. Transportation-out costs are costs of selling the products and will appear as a selling expense
