If the ending inventory of a firm is overstated by $56,000, by how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firm's
operating income be misstated? (Hint: Use the cost of goods sold model, enter hypothetically "correct" data, and then reflect the
effects of the ending inventory error and determine the effect on cost of goods sold.)
Operating income
by
A firm recorded it's ending inventory for the previous year at $40,000. It realized at the end of the first quarter of the current year that the number was misstated and should actually be $30,000. What corrective entries need to occur to ensure net income is not affected at the end of the current year?
There are no corrections to be made.
The firm should account for the misstated inventory in a separate cost of goods sold entry.
There is no way to fix the entry and the net income will remain affected.
The firm should account for the misstated inventory at the end of the current year.
Jones Company started the year with no inventory. During the year, it purchased two identical inventory items at different times. The
first purchase cost $1,170 and the other, $1,550. Jones sold one of the items during the year.

- Bhushan Company has been using LIFO for inventory purposes because it would prefer to keep gross profits low for tax purposes. In its second year of operation (20-2), the controller pointed out that this strategy did not appear to work and suggested that FIFO cost of goods sold would have been higher than LIFO cost of goods sold for 20-2. Is this possible? REQUIRED Using the information provided, compute the cost of goods sold for 20-1 and 20-2 comparing the LIFO and FIFO methods.arrow_forwardCompany Elmira reported the following cost of goods sold but later realized that an error had been made in ending inventory for year 2021. The correct inventory amount for 2021 was 32,000. Once the error is corrected, (a) how much is the restated cost of goods sold for 2021? and (b) how much is the restated cost of goods sold for 2022?arrow_forwardIf Wakowski Companys ending inventory was actually $86,000 but was adjusted at year end to a balance of $68,000 in error, what would be the impact on the presentation of the balance sheet and income statement for the year that the error occurred, if any?arrow_forward
- Company Edgar reported the following cost of goods sold but later realized that an error had been made in ending inventory for year 2021. The correct inventory amount for 2021 was 12,000.

The manufacturer has been in operation for almost 40 years, and for the last decade it has reported moderate growth in revenues. The firm changed from the LIFO method to the FIFO method and reported the following information (amounts in millions): REQUIRED Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for 2014 using the LIFO and FIFO cost-flow assumption methods. Explain why the costs assigned to inventory under LIFO at the end of 2013 and 2014 are so much less than they are under FIFO.arrow_forwardMoore Company uses the LIFO cost flow assumption and carries Product A in inventory on December 31, 2019, at its unit cost of 9.50. Because of a sharp decline in demand for the product, the selling price was reduced to 10.00 per unit. Moores normal profit margin on Product A is 2.00, disposal costs are 1.00 per unit, and the replacement cost is 6.50. Under the lower of cost or market rule, Moores December 31, 2019, inventory of Product A should be valued at a unit cost of: a. 6.50 b. 9.00 c. 7.00 d. 9.50arrow_forward
- Assume your company uses the periodic inventory costing method, and the inventory count left out an entire warehouse of goods that were in stock at the end of the year, with a cost value of $222,000. How will this affect your net income in the current year? How will it affect next years net income?arrow_forwardAt the end of the Year 2 accounting period, DeYoung Company determined that the market value of its inventory was $79,800. The historical cost of this inventory was $81,400. DeFazio uses the perpetual inventory method. Assuming the amount is immaterial, how will the necessary write-down to reduce the inventory to the lower-of-cost-or-market affect the company's financial statements? Multiple Choice O O Decrease total assets, gross margin, and net income Increase total assets and net income Decrease total assets and gross margin Decrease total assets and net incomearrow_forwardwhich of the three methods of costing-FIFO, LIFO, or average cost-will yield (a) cause an overstatement or an understatement of the gross profit for the year?

- The problem is stated in the picture. Here is the question: 1. Assume instead, the Company uses the FIFO method in the measurement of its inventories, how much would be its cost of goods sold for the year?arrow_forwardIf the company had used the FIFO inventory costing method, cost of goods sold under FIFO would have been $ 10,200.00. Management wants a report that shows how changing from FIFO to another method would change net income. Prepare a table showing (1) the amount by which cost of goods sold under LIFO and AVCO is different from the FIFO cost of goods sold and ( 2) the effect on net income when LIFO and AVCO are used instead of FIFO. When costs are rising, what is the effect of the FIFO inventory valuation approach on cost of goods sold, gross profit and net income? Why?arrow_forwardAssume that the ending inventory of a merchandising firm is overstated by $40,000. a. By how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firms cost of goods be misstated? b.

If this error is not corrected, what effect will it have on the total operating income of the two periods (the period in which there is an error and the subsequent period) combined?arrow_forward
