Compute the number of days sales in inventory for 2016 and 2015. Assume 360 days in a year. Comment on your answers in parts (1) and (2) relative to the companys management of inventory over the two years. What problems do you see in its inventory management?arrow_forwardInventory Valuation You are engaged in an audit of Roche Mfg. Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. To reduce the workload at year-end, Roche took its annual physical inventory under your observation on November 30, 2019. Roches inventory account, which includes raw materials and work in process, is on a perpetual basis, and it uses the first-in, first-out method of pricing. It has no finished goods inventory. The companys physical inventory revealed that the book inventory of 60,570 was understated by 3,000. To avoid distorting the interim financial statements, Roche decided not to adjust the book inventory until year-end except for obsolete inventory items. Your audit revealed this information about the November 30 inventory: Pricing tests showed that the physical inventory was overpriced by 2,200. Footing and extension errors resulted in a 150 understatement of the physical inventory. Direct labor included in the physical inventory amounted to 10,000. Overhead was included at the rate of 200% of direct labor. You determined that the amount of direct labor was correct and the overhead rate was proper. The physical inventory included obsolete materials recorded at 250. During December, these materials were removed from the inventory account by a charge to cost of sales. Your audit also disclosed the following information about the December 31, 2019, inventory. Total debits to certain accounts during December are: The cost of sales of 68,600 included direct labor of 13,800. Normal scrap loss on established product lines is negligible. However, a special order started and completed during December had excessive scrap loss of 800 which was charged to Manufacturing Overhead Expense. Required: 1. Compute the correct amount of the physical inventory at November 30, 2019. 2. Without prejudice to your solution to Requirement 1, assume that the correct amount of the inventory at November 30, 2019, was 57,700. Compute the amount of the inventory at December 31,2019.arrow_forward
