Inventory items in transit sold f.o.b. shipping point, which have been shipped to the buyer already.

None of these answer choices is correct.

Explanation / Answer

1. Inventory items in transit sold f.o.b. destination, which did not arrive to the buyer yet.

2. FIFO

3. $18,000,000 x 2% = $360,000 + 520,000 - 650,000 = $230,000

4. BI 80k 130k

+Purchase 261k 500k

+Markup 25k

-Markdown (35k)

GAS 341k 620k

-Sales 520k

Estimated EI at Retail 100k

Estimated EI at cost = 100k * 55%=55k i.e. 55%

5. Understatement of beginning inventory understates (-) cost of goods sold and the understatement of ending inventory overstates (+) cost of goods sold

- $30,000 + 17,000 = -$13,000 understatement of cost of goods sold

6. (40 x $100 + 70 x $80 + 170 x $60) / (40 + 70 + 170) = $70.71

10 units x $70.71 = $707
